So Get Up - original

"SO GET UP" by Ithaka

Original 1992 acapella of Ithaka's eternal vocal-poem song "So Get Up". The song, (inspired by Ithaka Darin Pappas' own "escape" from his native Los Angeles to Portugal earlier the same year), was first written and recited for his daily participation on the program Quatro Bairro (Rádio Comerical, Lisbon). It has since become the most remixed vocal acapella in musical history!

Vocals/lyrics: Ithaka Darin Pappas 

The end of the earth is upon us. Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust. 

So get up! Forget the past. Go outside and have a blast.

Go a thousand miles in a jet airplane. 

Go out of your mind go insane.

To a place you never been before. 

Eat ice cream or you'll lick the floor.

'Cause, the end of the earth is upon us. 

Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.

Goodbye my friends. Goodbye world. 

I'll see you in the next life.

"So Get Up" (In The Next Life remix by Atlantis ITA) in feature film "Sorted" 2000

In 1999, as a member of the short-lived project Atlantis ITA, Dino Lenny and musical partner Michele Guidi released "In The Next Life" a remix of So Get Up, a 1992 vocal-poem song by Californian songwriter Ithaka (or Ithaka Darin Pappas). The track, which utilized Ithaka's original 1992 vocal, was included in the soundtrack of the 2000 British thriller film Sorted directed by Alexander Jovy along with renowned musical acts such as; Leftfield, Morcheeba, Public Enemy, Elvis Presley and Depeche Mode.

The song was played during the closing titles sequence of the film, ending the entire film with Ithaka Darin Pappas' acapella line, "I'll See You In The Next Life". Although other mixes of "So Get Up" had previously charted in the United Kingdom, once in 1995 (at #84 as "So Get Up" remixed by Underground Sound Of Lisbon) and again in 1997 (at #17 as "Get Up! Go Insane" as reworked by Stretch N Vern), however after appearing in the film, Atlantis ITA's In The Next Life modern trance interpretation charted the song a third time in the UK at #96 in May of 2001.

Lyrics written (and vocalized) by: © Ithaka Darin Pappas 1992 "SO GET UP" THE END OF THE EARTH IS UPON US PRETTY SOON ITLL ALL TURN TO DUST SO GET UP FORGET THE PAST GO OUTSIDE HAVE A BLAST GO A THOUSAND MILES IN A JET AIRPLANE GO OUT OF YOUR MIND GO INSANE TO A PLACE YOU NEVER BEEN BEFORE EAT ICE CREAM OUR YOULL LICK THE FLOOR CUZ, THE END OF THE EARTH IS UPON US PRETTY SOON IT'LL ALL TURN TO DUST GOODBYE MY FRIENDS, GOODBYE WORLD I'LL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT LIFE So Get Up was originally written (and recorded) by Ithaka Darin Pappas on December 13th 1992 for Rádio Comercial, a station in Lisbon Portugal. In Feb. of 1993, an electro demo version of "So Get Up" by Ithaka was recorded in Manchester, United Kingdom with producer. And later, in February of 1994, Ithaka was invited to rerecord the poem for the B-Side of the first vinyl release of Underground Sound Of Lisbon on Kaos Records, Portugal. It was an almost instant national hit and soon released (along with an acapella version) internationally by Tribal (USA), a subsidiary of Stuart Copeland's IRS Records in New York. Interestingly, although the poem was written and vocalized by Ithaka a year before ever meeting Underground Sound Of Lisbon, no public vocal credit was included on those first releases. The USL version and the new remixes by Junior Vazquez and Danny Tenaglia were quite popular themselves (selling at least 50,000 units) but because an acapella was included in these major distributions, literally hundreds of new mixes appeared in just a few years. Many producers simply changed the title (sometimes not) and put the entire vocal on their own instrumentals and called it their own. The vocal acapella has also been released under the titles; "Get Up", "Get Up Go Insane", "So Get Up Atom Bride", "The End Of the Earth", "Next Life", "See You In The Next Life", "Intro", "Hurt", "Headcharge" and "Hardventure" The vocal itself has never had a sonic style specifically associated with it, it has kept changing it's clothes and modernizing itself with the times. The spoken-word acapella was originally read on-air on top of an instrumental version of a Naughty-By-Nature hip hop song, and this UK demo version is a mid-tempo electro-style track,. The vocal never had a sonic style specifically associated with it, it has kept changing it's clothes and modernizing itself with the times. The USL, Tenaglia and Junior Vazquez versions were progressive and tribal house And since then have versions have appeared in almost every avenue of global electronic music such as; Trance, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Big Beat, Trip Hop, Tech House, Electronic Art Rock etc. Groups, producers and DJs that have released So Get Up inculude; Derek Marin, Peter Bailey, Pagano, Ben Gold, Eric Kupper, Cosmic Gate, Armin Van Buuren, Ricardo Diaz, Nixu Zsun, Oxia (France), Mert Yucel (Turkey), Igor Carmo (Portugal), Miss Kittin (Germay), Public Domain (Holland), Fat Boy Slim (Norman Cook) UK, Stretch & Verne (UK), Lexington Avenue, Damage People, Mirabeau, Ma-Beckerfield, FuturePlays (from Mexico), Dj Screw (Thailand), Djz Rom (Cambodia), Technoboy (Italy), Frankyeffe (Italy), Maik Ibane, Murt Yucel (Turkey), Mowree (Italy), Razat (Portugal), Tuneboy (Italy), K-Traxx (Italy), Dylan As of 2016, with a staggering o ver eleven-hundred documented and released mixes, So Get Up is considered "The Most Remixed Vocal Acapella In Musical History" #SOGETUP #FORGETTHEPAST

music by: Joe Fossard, Ewan Butler /produced by: Joe Fossard, Ithaka vocal engineer: Sinewave /guitars: Ewan Butler/drums: Sergio Nascimento photograph: Ithaka at Madeira 1995 by: João Valente (Surf Portugal) ________________________________________________________________ Ever since the initial release of the USL version of "So Get Up" in 1994, the parties involved; Kaos Records, Tribal America and USL members (DJ Vibe and Rui da Silva), have presented "So Get Up" as an entirely 100% Portuguese track, apparently for marketing reasons...even though it was actually a preexisting song written and recorded almost a full year earlier by Ithaka Darin Pappas (a Greek-American from California, only temporarily residing in Lisbon) originally made for his own album project, So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas. Two acapella versions of "So Get Up" (a song that changed the entire electronic-music economy of Portugal during the 1990's) were released by USL in the United States by Tribal America, a subsidiary of E.M.I. without ANY authorization from the lyricist/vocalist. Ithaka, an award-winning hip hop vocalist and songwriter, was not paid royalties or even given a featuring credit on his own raw vocal. In 1995, the USL version charted at #83 on the UK pop charts. In 1997, Stretch N Vern's "Get Up! Go Insane!", using the same vocal recording, charted at #17 (UK). Meat Katie also had success in the late 1990's with "Next Life" using the same acapella. In 2013, Cosmic Gate reworked "So Get Up" into a trance version stadium banger, becoming one of the duo's most recognizable songs, (again, using the existing acapella with No vocal credit given)... even manufacturing T-Shirts utilizing Ithaka's lyrics, with no mention of the author. The release of the uncredited 1994 acapella versions had created a snowball effect of illegal "So Get Up" remix versions that continues until the present. Today (in 2020), with more than one-thousand released remixes, it is The Most Remixed Vocal Acapella In Musical History, yet vocally/lyrically, it largely remains anonymous. When credit has been given on the subsequent mixes of "So Get Up", which is rare, it is normally given to Underground Sound Of Lisbon whose version was the first to bring Ithaka's vocal-poem to public attention even if none of USL's music is actually present on the new mix or release. Ithaka's vocal poem "So Get Up" has been musically interpreted by producers of literally every sub-genre of electronic music; Progressive House, Deep House, Techno, Tech House, Trance, Dream Trance, Big Beat, Drum n Bass, Trip Hop, Downtempo, Hardcore, Gabber etc etc etc... and has appeared by the alternative titles of; "See You In The Next Life", "Forget The Past", "The End Of The Earth", "Hardventure", "Headcharge", "Belther", "Last Resurrection, "PPF (Past, Present, Future)", "Intensity", "Soultech!", "Phat Prick", "Trance Line", "Have A Blast!" etc, etc, etc. "So Get Up" and it's derivatives have sold (unofficially) 30,000,000+ copies since 1993.

"SO GET UP" Remixes (the Most Remixed Acapella in Musical History)

Ithaka Darin Pappas author/vocalist of "So Get Up"

Ithaka "SO GET UP" Remixes Edit

Songs using the iconic 1992 vocal-poem acapella "So Get Up" by Greek-Californian songwriter/vocalist Ithaka (or Ithaka Darin Pappas, (sometimes known as Korvorowng or Korvorão...which is frequently misspelled as Korvowrong or Korvowong).
https://www.discogs.com/artist/468212-Ithaka

More than one-thousand remixes mostly uncredited (and also said to be unauthorized and unpaid) have reportedly been made of the hip-hop/spoken-word poet's early song "So Get Up". It is considered the most remixed vocal acapella in musical history.

Ithaka originally wrote and recorded "So Get Up" for a small program called Quatro Bairro on Rádio Comercial (Lisbon) on December 13th 1992. It was recited live on-air just minutes after being written (written at a cafe near the radio station). *Note: Ithaka Darin Pappas lived and recorded in Portugal from 1992-1998

Ithaka recorded "So Get Up" a second time in February of 1993 in Manchester, England as a downtempo electronic song for his album, "So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas". At that time, a demo-single promo of the Manchester version of So Get Up (as "So Get Up 1993") was released, but the album was only made public in 2017. When it was eventually released, the full album "So Get Up & The Lost Acapellas" (Sweatlodge Records) included twelve other spoken-vocal songs made by the artist during the same 1993 recording sessions in Manchester.

In 1994, Ithaka recorded a third version of So Get Up as a 'guest performer' for the B-side of a 12" white-label demo with Underground Sound of Lisbon (DJ Vibe/Rui da Silva).

What began as a 'demo' was soon distributed internationally by Kaos Records and Tribal America Records without the authorization of (or apparently payment to) the lyricist/vocalist.

Furthermore, as a marketing strategy to retain its exotic flavor abroad, Kaos Records-Portugal and Tribal America-E.M.I. presented Underground Sound Of Lisbon‘s "So Get Up" remix as a 100% Portuguese song (ie: even packaging the release in the colors of the Portuguese flag, etc.) even though the creator of the song’s organic and identifying elements (lyrics/vocals) was actually from Los Angeles - and were recorded in English with an American accent.

Not even a FEATURING ITHAKA credit was listed on the releases, discarding the fact that it was undoubtfully Ithaka Darin Pappas' own (preexisting) song from a full year before the first Underground Sound Of Lisbon remix was released.

Two uncredited acapellas were included on the Tribal America vinyl release of So get Up, a record that (along with So Get Up remixes by New York superstar deejays Junior Vasquez and Danny Tenaglia) sold more that 80,000 copies (two million copies total, including compilations).

For this reason, the majority of bootleg versions of So Get Up around the world stem from these acapella vocals released with U.S.L's remixed versions of the song.

"So Get Up" in different forms has charted several times during its history; with Underground Sound of Lisbon (#83 on the UK pop charts) with Stretch n Vern's "Get Up! Go Insane! remix (#17 on the UK pop charts), while the Spanish duo Commitee charted at #3 on the Billboard Single Charts in Spain with their retitled version, "Trance Line". The Trance Line Remix (which used all of Ithaka’s vocal and none of Underground Sound of Lisbon’s music) remained in the Top Ten for more than a month in the winter of 1995.

More recently, in 2013-until present, Cosmic Gate has had much success using Ithaka's same (uncredited) vocal acapella for their song "So Get Up" for their album, Wake Your Mind. Their version of the song has been played extensively during their numerous world tours. And several remixes of Cosmic Gate’s “So Get Up” remix have subsequently been released by Wake Your Mind/Armada records (Armin Van Buuren).

Remixes of So Get Up have been created in almost every conceivable sub-genre of electronic music: ambient, dub, hip hop, kraut rock, neo soul, new-age, new wave, noise, post disco, post punk, psychedelic, chip tune, drum and bass, EDM, electro, electro acoustic, electronica, glitch house, IDM, synth-pop, industrial, jungle, techno, trance electronic rock, electronicore, electro pop, electro punk, indie electronic, nu jazz, electro swing, trip hop, tech house, pyschtrance, hardstyle, gabber, etc.

It is generally thought that So Get Up and its innumerable remix variations have sold more than 30,000,000 copies worldwide - including compilations and downloads.

lyrics:
The end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
So get up. Forget the past.
Go outside and have a blast.
Go a thousand miles in a jet airplane.
Go out of your mind go insane.
To a place you never been before.
Eat ice cream or you'll lick the floor.
'Cause, the end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
Goodbye my friends. Goodbye world.
I'll see you in the next life.
