Lyrics If I Can't Get Down - Mixed - Mike Dunn

We gonna have to break out the bucket of bleach water
And the candle lights out for this one baby
It's real funky in here
MD express
Back when you hear the drum, you hear the song
You know what it is
That fire

If I can't get down (yeah)
Tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?
Now if I can't get down (yeah)
Tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?

If I can't get down (yeah)
Tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?
Now if I can't get down (yeah)
Tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?

Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Huh

Now put your weight on it
Don't wait on it
Put your weight on it
Don't wait on it
Put your weight on it
Don't wait on it
Put your weight on it
Don't wait on it

Now get funky with it
Yeah!
Yeah!

Now if I can't get down (yeah)
Tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?
If I can't get down (yeah)
Tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?

Now if I can't get down (yeah)
Then tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?
Now if I can't get down (yeah)
Then tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?

Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Hit it
Huh, you know it

Put your weight on it
Don't wait on it
Put your weight on it
Don't wait on it
Put your weight on it
Don't wait on it
Put your weight on it
Don't wait on it, huh

Now get funky with it
Yeah!
Yeah!

If I can't get down (yeah)
Tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?
Now if I can't get down (yeah)
Then tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?

If I can't get down (yeah)
Tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it?
Now if I can't get down (yeah)
Then tell me why the hell am I
Tryna get back up with it? Hit it

I'm absolutely loving the music on this week's show
And in the background you can hear a track
Produced by Chicago's legendary Mike Dunn
Who you can catch in Tisno, Croatia this August
Or at our London festival in September
This is taken from an album entitled
My House from All Angles
And is most definitely a nod to James Brown
It is called If I Can't Get Down

It's that time in the show for our fall-to-the-floor classic
And here is a record that I remember playing back in the day
And it's actually hard to believe that it's now 23 years old
But it still sounds super fresh
First released in 1996, this is the much sampled
Heller and Farley fire island remix
Of Deep Zone featuring Ceybil Jefferies
And it's going to be alright
An absolute classic
