"Get the Funk Out" is the fourth track and second single from Extreme's second studio album Pornograffitti. Rock musician Pat Travers provides backing vocals. The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.
The song’s guitar solo, played by Nuno Bettencourt, was praised by Queen’s Brian May, who stated: “If that doesn’t bring tears to your eyes as a guitarist, I don’t know where things are, ... I could never do that, ... That’s a landmark in rock history.”[1] [2]
