"Get Down Saturday Night" is a song by American singer Oliver Cheatham, released in 1983 as the first single from his second album Saturday Night. That spring, the song reached number 37 on the US R&B chart,[2] as well as reaching number 38 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] The song was featured in the soundtrack for the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as well as in the 2014 film Ex Machina.

The song was sampled in two UK chart hits in the 2000s; in "Make Luv" by Italian DJ Room 5 which reached No. 1 in 2003, and in "The Weekend" by British DJ Michael Gray which reached No. 7 in 2004. French house producer DJ Kom also sampled the song in his 1997 single "Git Down Saturday,"[4] which was used as part of Daft Punk's 1997 Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1.[5]
