"Get the Funk Out" is a song by American rock band Extreme. It was released as the second single from their second studio album, Extreme II: Pornograffitti (1990). Canadian rock musician Pat Travers provided backing vocals to the song. The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.[4]

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."[5][6]
