"Get Up! (Before the Night Is Over)" is a 1989 song recorded by Belgian group Technotronic featuring Ya Kid K.

Release

It was the second single from the band's debut album Pump Up the Jam: The Album on which it features as the second track, and was released in 1990. It was very successful in many countries, becoming a top ten hit in Australia, Canada, and U.S. and across many countries in Europe, topping the chart in Belgium, Finland, Spain and Switzerland. The song was re-released in 1998 and in 1999 respectively under the title "Get Up (the '98 Sequel)" and "Get Up (the 1999 Sequel)". The song appears in Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 4 and Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix.

In 2007, the song was covered by Global Deejays (featuring Technotronic) who achieved a minor success in France.[1]

When the song entered the UK chart at number 3, it completed the first ever UK Top 3 composed entirely of acts from outside the UK or US, alongside the Australian Kylie Minogue and the Irish Sinéad O'Connor.

Critical Reception

Music & Media wrote about the song: "Can they do it again? It certainly seems that way. This is less rap and more of an orthodox pop song. A strong chorus and one of the biggest bass sounds around. Excellent."[2]
