“Get Down Tonight” by K.C. & The Sunshine Band is a disco classic released in February 1975. The song is a celebration of nightlife, romance, and rhythm, with lyrics that invite listeners to “do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight.” Its infectious groove, fast tempo, and catchy chorus made it an instant hit, topping the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the band’s first number one single. The track is built around a distinctive double-speed guitar intro and a relentless beat that captures the essence of the disco era’s energy and sensuality.

The song was originally titled “What You Want Is What You Get” during its early recording sessions. Harry Wayne Casey, known as KC, often improvised lyrics in the studio and later changed the title to “Get Down Tonight” after reflecting on what people truly love to do—dance and connect. KC and his writing partner Richard Finch were regulars in Miami’s nightclub scene, soaking up the atmosphere and translating it into music. The guitar riff was created using a tape machine trick that sped up the solo, giving the intro its signature buzz. The track was recorded at T.K. Records, where session musicians Jerome Smith and Robert Johnson laid down the groove. It became a cultural touchstone, appearing in films like “Forrest Gump” and “Rush Hour,” and even featured in a cheeky moment on Friends when Chandler quipped, “Do a little dance, make a little love... pretty much get down tonight.” The song’s blend of funk and disco helped define the sound of the mid-70s and launched the band into international stardom.
