"Get Down Tonight" is a song released in 1975 on the eponymous album by the disco group KC and the Sunshine Band. The song became widely successful, becoming the first of their five number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; and displays some of the signature characteristics of the disco era such as a fast tempo, and repeating lyrics. The song is also noted for its distinct introduction, using a regular guitar solo and then playing it at twice the normal speed in the final product (this single was released before electric guitars and electronica music became prevalent).
