Tryin' to hold back this feelin' for so long
And if you feel like I feel, baby
Then come on, oh come on
Let's get it on, ah baby
Let's get it on, let's love, baby
Let's get it on, sugar
Let's get it on, whoo-ooh-ooh
We're all sensitive people
With so much to give, understanding, sugar
Since we got to be
Let's live, I love you
There's nothing wrong with me
Lovin' you, baby no no
And givin' yourself to me could never be wrong
If the love is true, oh baby
Don't you know how sweet and wonderful
Life can be?
I'm asking you baby
To get it on with me
I ain't gonna worry
I ain't gonna push, I won't push you baby
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Stop beatin' 'round the bush
Let's get it on
Let's get it on, you know what I'm talkin' about
Come on baby, hey hey, let your love come out
If you believe in love
Let's get it on, let's get it on, baby
This minute, oh yeah
Let's get it on, please
Please get it on
I know that you know what I've been dreaming of
Don't you baby?
My whole body wants the feeling of love
Ah help me!
I ain't gonna worry,
No I ain't gonna push, I won't push you baby
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on darlin'
Stop beatin' 'round the bush
Oh, gonna get it on, threatening you, baby
I want to get it on, you don't have to worry that it's wrong
If the spirit moves you, let me groove you
Good, let your love come down, oh, get it on
Come on baby
Do you know the meaning of being sanctified?
Ah...
Girl, you give me good feelings
So good, something like sanctifying
Oh, do right baby
Nothing wrong with love
If you wanna love me baby
Just let yourself go
Oh, baby, let's get it on

Those were simpler, straight-forward days. No missing the message here.
I Agree!
What's he talking about
I don't know. It's too subtle for me.

This is not only an a 11 for me, but I want to give a big THANK YOU to Mr. Gaye (may he rest in peace) for giving us this song. Kind of like how Paul Rogers/Bad Company did with "Feel Like Making Love"; just how many people got laid as a result of these songs?!? Gotta give it up to them for the aural aphrodisiac. Long Live RP and songs about making love.
That totally nails it: ... "aural aphrodisiac" ....
A truly relatable musical category for anyone who ever transited teenhood... :-)

Of course there was an amazing "machine" behind him allowing him to give us this.
It's too bad ugliness cut his life short.
My rating is: 9- OUTSTANDING
I'm a DC boy also - maybe that's why it resonates so strongly with me
I'll spell it out for you, kid: he's trying to score some pussy. Ok, now you're sure.

But come on
come on
come on
come on
come on darlin'
Stop beatin round the bush.
I think his singing doesn't get enough credit. So much range from falsetto to a growl and a great sense of delivery.
Heh, I just did the same ratings bump before I saw your comment. This is a great, timeless song.

That was Johnny Nash. I don't think Marvin did a cover? In any case you have good taste.
Never really done it for me. He always sounds a bit creepy...

Sorry, buddy, but I think you should not put all your coins on this bet...
Human insensibility, stupidity, nonsense and brutality is a real thing nowadays: Charlie Ebdo is just another brick on wall
So, there must be millions that hate this kind of beautiful music
(sure not only based on religion issues, but just because they just do not like their lives IMHO).
Released in 1998? I remember snickering to this as a teenager ... "let's get it on, baby" ... and snickering again when my kids were teenagers in 1998. Wow! Maybe I was kidnapped by aliens and subjected to time-travel experiments.
Quick check on Wikipedia says released in June (or maybe August) 1973. Also says Mr. Gaye died in 1984.

Oh this man's sound was so super excellant
Which is the perfect antidote to those who can't get Dr. Evil and Frau out of their minds. Jack Black's rendition had to be the biggest surprise of High Fidelity.
Agreed. It might take the whole album....

Did that not just happen again!? Programmed rotation or just a good segue for grumpy listeners?
Those movies (like most made after about 1985) are almost entirely forgettable to me - this song is not.
always makes me think about HiFidelity :)

You might try watching High Fidelity sometime. When Jack Black tears into this near the end you get the idea they know the power of the song and uhmm, its aim.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Good juan
Thank you, Bill

It didn't ruin it for me, but I think of that scene every time I hear this.
Nobody can ruin this song for me. Marvin had it goin' ON.
Don't get me wrong - this song has still got the funk in spades!
It just now also makes me grin and sometimes snicker a bit.
Nothing short of a solid 9. Just a shame how Marvin left us.
Indeed...that was unexpected and awesome...
Yes, as in cleanse the pallet.

"The fabulous Marvin Gaye singing a great version of his classic "Let's Get It On" in Montreux Jazz Festival. "
Marvin Gaye - Lets Get It On. Live (1976)
"In 1976 Marvin Gayes marriage was about to collapse. He was also just about to be imprisoned because of non-paid child-support to his wife Anna. Reputedly Motown bailed Marvin out and he was suggested to leave US for a some time. Promoter Jeffrey Kruger arranged a European tour to start up in September 1976 and it also included a long waited visit to England for the first time in ten years.
This concert in question was held in 10th October before sell-out audience in Edenhall concert hall Amsterdam. The track listing is pretty much identical compared to the Album "Marvin Gaye - Live At The London Palladium!" which was recorded on the same tour seven days earlier. Only songs missing are "Trouble Man" and "God is Love". All the other tracks are exactly (although in different order) the same as on this DVD, even including the content of medleys. These Medleys are actually one of the biggest problems in this concert. In a way the whole concert is one gigantic medley, while atleast what I was expecting, were the full versions of the songs. If compared to the performances in the "Live in Montreux" DVD this concert feels pretty boring. Marvin himself explained the reason for these medleys in Sharon Davis´ biography book like this; "I got a list of songs from my promoter. He told me all the tracks that were popular in England and I just put them into medley form for few minutes because I hadn´t done them in years. In fact, when I sing them in the States people go for popcorn and hot dogs. The only way you can perform an old record in the States is if you are very animated about it because American´s don´t want memories. They´re not nostalgic people. So I can´t understand why British audiences want to hear the old stuff because for me the songs are very painful, especially those with Tammi Terrell..."
The show starts up with two songs from the "I Want you" album; "All The Way Round" and "Since I Had You". The effect of constant eating of junk food and irregular sleeping habits can bee seen on Marvins body as his appearance looks a bit sleepy and swollen. The song "Come Get To This" leads the concert onwards as an intro to an extended version of "Let´s Get It On" in which Marvin really "gets it on" in seducing the female viewers in the audience. After "Let´s Get It On" begins the chain of medleys which won´t end until the finale which is the "Distant Lover". First medley includes some biggest 60´s hits like "Pride and Joy", "I Heard It Through The Grapewine" ect.
The second medley consisted of songs from the "What´s Going On?" album starting with "Inner City Blues" and then leading through "What´s Going On?" to "Save The Children". For the final medley of classic duet songs, Marvin was joined on stage by a lady called Florence Lyles. With Florence Marvin sings through songs like "You´re All I Need" and "Ain´t No Mountain High Enough", but unfortunately Flo´s voice sounds really flat compared to original duet partners like Tammi Terrels or Kim Westons. She really doesn´t make any justice for these songs although It´s only my own oppinion. The Finale "Distant lover" is probably the best act in this concert though I think a better performance can be heard on the "Live At The London Palladium" album. "

No, you had it correct the first time.
Even as a straight guy I have to say: damn, but these guys just ooze sexuality.
Love it.
We need to put together a list of songs to put on a "Panty Remover" CD.
