"Get Off This" comes from Cracker's second album, Kerosene Hat, out in August 1993, and it went to radio as the record's second single in January 1994. David Lowery wrote it with Johnny Hickman and Davey Faragher, and Don Smith produced, keeping things loose and ornery: a scrappy, stomping kiss-off with a grin on its face.

Jason Gross of Rock and Roll Globe later counted it among the band's best, reading it as a jab at hippies and idealists and also at the fans still sulking that Cracker wasn't Camper Van Beethoven. It climbed to 6 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and 18 on Album Rock Tracks, and Carlos Grasso directed a video full of rotoscoped animation.
