“Rip It Up” by Jet

Jet cut "Rip It Up" for Shine On, their second album, and it went out on 27 November 2006 as the record's second single in Australia. The Cester brothers, Nic and Chris, wrote it with Cameron Muncey, and Nic, the band's singer, didn't keep the target a secret: from the stage at London's Brixton Academy he introduced it as their song about Paris Hilton. For good measure it borrows a line from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.

It was a modest hit at home, creeping into the ARIA top 50, while the British release, the fourth single from Shine On and a limited seven-inch, failed to chart. It got a second life years later, as the official theme of WWE's SummerSlam 2010 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
