The Go-Go's - Get Up And Go

[@JonMarkJust]

One of their best songs ever and totally overlooked... surf's up!!! ❤❤❤

[@clarkbilly5670]

agree

[@scotmorley]

100 true!

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

Nice tune by Jane and Charlotte - back then when they wrote most but not all the music, and almost every hit they had.

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

Plus the two groove so great at that breakdown. Low-key showing off!

[@junichimiura1983]

日本のTV番組で『世界はsyow by ショーバイ』と言うのがありまして、その番組でこの曲のギターリフと『GO!』と言う掛け声が使われていました。 一瞬だったのですが強烈なインパクトでした。 THE GO GO'S の『GET UP AND GO』と言う曲だとわかった時はとても嬉しかったです。 それから色々な曲を聞きました。 どれも素晴らしい曲です。 ありがとうございます。＾＾ｂ

[@ClayAutery]

One of the most underrated tracks in their portfolio!

40yrs later and still sounds and looks great.!

[@MoreFunInTheNewWorld]

2025 and I’m still here for the go gos . Beautiful

[@gwynnielsen5081]

I love the percussion on this tune. The Go-Go's have a cheerleader vibe that stays with you.

[@lynlynnielyn9188]

I am hearing surfing music, the beach boys ish sound.

[@davidmillner4480]

My absolute favorite song ever! Timeless, no matter what year it happens to be. There's other good songs I love, but let's face it, this song takes me back to some really good times. I'm 56, been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, so who knows how much longer I've got. I think of family and friends long gone. 1982 in Washington State living on the Trident sub base. Great memories/ good times..

[@smallbluehour]

Love the Go Gos. Used to dress like Belinda in the eighties (with my dark, short, curly Jane hair.) Trying so hard to be cool. LOL Sometimes miss those days.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Why don't I ever hear this song on the radio? It's good to see these old videos uploaded on KZbin. They seem almost brand new to my eyes.

[@johnnymfan5065]

The song isn't played cause it wasn't a big hit on the Hot 100. It was played alot on MTV though

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

Mine, too!

[@YoMama9021]

I know! They play The Cure and Billy Idol and shit but no Go-Go’s. I’ve never seen my two five year olds jam as hard to a song as the Go-Go’s.

[@YoMama9021]

You can count every famous band being on KZbin

[@adrianoclincho1852]

Music Radio is not so hot here in Ireland they don't play the fun music they just play what passes as cool and hipster music mind you RTE (our state broadcaster can be good late nite) you gotta love the GO GOS music is the best f.z.

[@traceywoodward1354]

Wow hard to believe this was 1983...53 suddenly doesn't seem too old

[@williamschlosser3465]

[@EdwardH-mk9cp]

I miss skating on Western and Wilshire, or Grandpas house in Van Nuys. Or playing hooky on the Santa Monica back in the early 90's. Go-Gos bring it back.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Loved the drums in this song. Should have been a much bigger hit for them. God Bless the GoGos

[@clarkbilly5670]

@Joseph Nickell Thank you. You are so fricken right.

[@dahur]

Jane never gets enough camera time.!

[@JCStorm76]

Just keep rewatching the Rush Hour video clip like I do

[@dahur]

@@JCStorm76 ok I did. Yeah that's more like it. Gotta get my Jane fix.

[@jacktheripoff1888]

Jane was just a bar chord strummer. She didn't have the music skills of Kathy and Charlotte. However she had the best backing vocal ability with a very nice voice, always played solidly and was the most energetic on stage. So she was a very good fit. And probably the cutest of the group. But she had to have some musical ability to be a viable member and she did. To be honest I never knew too much about them as to who had the most music writing contributions. I'll assume more went to Charlotte.

[@JCStorm76]

jacktheripoff1888 Charlotte and Jane wrote most of the material

[@dahur]

@@jacktheripoff1888 I just watched their documentary, and it seemed like Charlotte and Jane had about an equal amount of songwriting credits. They showed a chart, and a lot of the tunes they co-wrote. Jane mentioned publishing is where the money is, and when Jane and Charlotte got handed a million dollar check, it caused some real problems in the band with the others.

[@avace917]

Never knew there was a video for this song. My sister LOVED the Go Go's.

[@vinceg4532]

I would love to see a video of nothing but a close up from above of Gina playing drums for this song. It is one of the coolest drum beats ever.

[@williambourque926]

Ha! I was thinking the same thing. I really dig the drums on this one.

[@ou812also5]

Very good bass drum work.

[@ernestoribeiro2226]

Gina Schock is The Best Rock & Roll Drummer Ever! alongside other 10 great drummers: Topper Headon, Sandy West, Nicko McBrain, Keith Moon, John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Demetra Plakas, Bill Ward, Clem Burke, Charlie Watts...

[@53redcobra]

She's an awesome drummer.

[@Terrahoskins]

Agree!

[@ou812also5]

She plays Rogers drums! Old, genuine Rogers drums are my absolute favorite. Warm and full sound!!

[@ChrisJones-ij3xp]

The drummers for Queen and Duran Duran should have played that brand of drums too.

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

My dad was a jazz drummer that used Gretch back in the day. He lost his favorite Slingerland set in a nightclub fire.

[@smangymangy]

Might seem creepy now, but 30 years later, I just want to give these gals big hugs for Rockin the 80s. Big Hugs to the Go Go gals! ;)

[@Kohntarkosz]

Oh I wanted to give them much more than hugs, let me tell ya! Especially Jane and Kathy! lol

[@GregoryTheGr8ster]

Um...I do apologize if I make you feel old, but it's more like 40 years later. Yikes!

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

What's creepy about that?

[@diddlysquat8595]

If it’s true that they played and wrote all their own music then they have my undying appreciation.

[@melindaozment1907]

Yes it's true!

[@talkshow4377]

There's no if because it is true, The Go Go's wrote all of their own music and play their own instruments. I've also seen them live many times they are a great band.

[@AndrewVOdom]

Some of the greatest singers and performers never wrote a song but always out their stamp on the material they sought out and interpreted. The “singer-songwriter” model is a 1960s rock / folk thing that doesn’t define the art of good music. This is a likable tune regardless of the writer. Good post and discussion!

[@JonMarkJust]

If it's true??!!? What??

[@wsharriupton2826]

They better be in the Class of 2021 Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame. Their music held up beautifully with time, and people still love listening to them.

[@andyjay729]

It's a crime that this slapping song isn't as well-played today as "We Got the Beat" or "Vacation". (I'd say it's better than "Vacation".)

[@69Applekrate]

I have just loved the music, the feel, the mood and the beat of this band now since about 1982!! They are my favorite band to listen to while riding my snowboard in winter or wake board in the summer! Just good times and great music.!! Thank you Go Gos! All 3 of your first LPs I just liston to over and over. Some of the later stuff too. Vacation is m favorite but, the others are close behind! You are the best and I mean that!

[@johnnymfan5065]

Its about time this comes up on youtube. Loved the song in 82, though MTV played it a lot, it wasn't a big hit on the pop chart. Charlotte and Jane are such good dancers. Gina looks so cute in that longish isolated shot when she is looking at the rocket as she plays drums. That's good that they kept that in there for so long.

[@WhtrBruin]

For the record, Kathy left the band in 2013, but she has been back with the Go-Go's for almost 2 years, and they toured in 2018; thankfully, their differences have been settled.

When this video was released, the party was well over. The anger and vibe rubbed off in this video. Not too long after, they called it quits until the reunions.

[@christine3043]

Not the case. Get up and Go was from Vacation which was released in 1982. They released Talk Show in 1984. They toured for that and then Jane left. Kathy moved to rhythm guitar and they hired Paula Jean Brown (co writer of Mad About You) to play bass. They officially broke up in 1985. Years after this video.

If you get up and walk away Leave the past behind Go ahead and take a ride No telling what you'll find The words you say don't mean a thing They fly right by my eyes Lookin' the mirror don't look at me Maybe then you'll realize So get up and go If you're so tired of moving slow I was on the inside Looking out for you But you're the one to make the change There's nothing I can do Now's the time for you to move Actions shout out loud So cut the talk and move your feet Cause words get lost in crowds So get up and go If you're so tired of moving slow I was on the inside Looking out for you Quit talking

Psychedelic dream, lysergic and hilarious: the Go-Go’s interacting with their counterparts clay dolls in stop motion animation entitled to a visual quote from the film "Voyage to the Moon" by Georges Méliès. It is the most perfect summary of the whole spirit of Rock & Roll in the New Wave aesthetic: simple, adolescent, unpretentious, colorful, insanely funny.
