"I Got Id" is a song by the grunge band Pearl Jam. It appears as the A-Side to the 1995 Merkin Ball single. "I Got Id" is also known as "I Got Shit" by the band and their fans. The song can also be found on the band's greatest hits album, Rearviewmirror: Greatest Hits 1991-2003.

The song was recorded during the sessions for the Neil Young/Pearl Jam collaboration Mirror Ball. Only two members of Pearl Jam appear on the track, singer Eddie Vedder and drummer Jack Irons. Neil Young plays lead guitar on the track and Mirror Ball producer Brendan O'Brien plays bass.

At Pearl Jam's May 10, 2006 concert in Toronto, Vedder revealed that the song's chorus was inspired by the verse in Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl".[1]
