Lee Garrett
Lee Garrett (born September 1, 1948, Mississippi) is an American rhythm and blues singer-songwriter, most famous for co-writing the song "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours".
Career
Garrett wrote several songs with Stevie Wonder, including the Jermaine Jackson song "Let's Get Serious and The Spinners "It's a Shame".
In 1976, his solo track "You're My Everything" reached number 15 in the UK Singles Chart. Without any further chart presence, he became a one-hit wonder.
Over the years, Garrett and Wonder have mended their relationship. During his 2007 tour, during a performance on August 30, Wonder paid tribute to Garrett by singing a medley of songs they co-created, and also introduced Garrett to the audience by acknowledging his presence at the show, and thanking him for years of friendship and support.
Garrett resides in the Portland, Oregon area (in Beaverton, a city just west of Portland) and continues to perform throughout the United States. He is currently involved in the Ray Charles Tribute, which is a group of Northwest based musicians along with a 1950s style rock and roll and 1960s style R&B group called the Boomerband.
Get Off
"Get Off" is a song by American disco band Foxy, released in 1978. Released from their LP of the same name, the song became a crossover hit. It spent two weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart during the fall of that year and also peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Along with the track, "Tena's Song", "Get Off" peaked at number 18 on the disco chart.

Get Off (The Dandy Warhols song)
"Get Off" is a song by American alternative rock band The Dandy Warhols. It was released in 2000 as the first single from their third studio album, Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia. It peaked at No. 38 on the UK Singles Chart in 2000 and No. 34 when it was re-released in 2002. The "Get Off (C11H15NO2 Mix)" remix on the Australian Tour EP includes a reference to MDMA in the title, which has the molecular formula C11H15NO2.
Track listing
All tracks written and composed by Courtney Taylor-Taylor; except where indicated.
Reception
NME wrote that the song sounds like "a thousand Sioux Indians invading the whorehouse at the High Chaparal for a bongs'n'blow jobs toga keg party", commenting "does it really take a major bastard ad campaign for the radio big knobs to spot a decent tune when it chews their fucking faces off?", in reference to The Dandy Warhols' relative obscurity prior to having their song "Bohemian Like You" featured in a Vodafone advert.

Get Off
by: Bad ReligionLascivious, it's all that I can think of as I drag my feet
Searching like a Diogenes
Dangerous, the adjective of the decade
And of your alluring intricacies
Yes I see your green screen mentality
And I feel the sting of it's consequence
And I know I shouldn't
But it's too much to ignore, an emotion I deplore
Every time I look at you
I just wanna do it
I can clench my fist right through it
But I just wanna get off
Rectilinear, the direction we've been heading
Never realizing we are on a runaway machine
Angular, the momentum that does turn us one step further on our ladder
One more turn toward the east
I realize your green screen mentality
And I know it is shared by many more
And I know it's quite impossible
But I am damned to find a way, to revolve the other way
Every time I scrutinize I just say screw it
On a ride down a blind conduit
And I just wanna get off
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
