Picture Disc has Euroboy proudly displaying an enlarged, dildo-like zuccini while Rune poses with it on the flipside. As Happy-Tom remarks: "The whole deal with the War Against The Picture Single series was to release the ugliest, most redundant (no 'previously unreleased' marketing schemes here), lamest picture discs ever. And so far we've succeeded." A further one was supposed on Flapping Jet from San Diego but Turbonegro called it quits before the deal was settled.[1]

"That "Clean American Version" - text on the picture disc is Long Gone John's little trip, it's a reference to The Mothers of Invention." - Happy-Tom interview by Tony Slug.[2]

The song was also released in July 2003 with "Rock Against Ass" as the B-side on Must Destroy Records from London as a collectors item. Limited to 1,000 copies on black vinyl.

The music video "Get it On" is directed by the Norwegian artist Crispin Gurholt

The main guitar riff on "Get It On" is copied from the song "Next Big Thing" from Go Girl Crazy!, the 1975 debut album of The Dictators.[3]
