"So Get Up" by Ithaka Darin Pappas is the most remixed acapella in the history of music!

The end of the earth is upon us

Pretty soon it'll 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 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, a lyric poem by Greek-Californian interdisciplinary artist and songwriter, Ithaka (or Ithaka Darin Pappas), was written on December 13th 1992 on a cafe napkin in the Amoreiras neighborhood of Lisbon, Portugal (where he worked and resided from 1992-1998). At the time, Ithaka had been guest hosting segments of "4º Bairro" on the national station Rádio Comercial during which he would often read his own short stories and poems. Having arrived to the station that day with little or no material to recite, Ithaka wrote So Get Up and a couple of short prose pieces at a coffeeshop on the side of the station's studio, just prior to going on air. A few months later, Ithaka recorded an electro musical version of So Get Up and other songs with a production team in Manchester, England released by Embryo Entertainment with little public attention.

Information about the iconic 1992 vocal acapella song by Greek-American songwriter and interdisciplinary artist Ithaka Darin Pappas (Ithaka). As of 2025, this example of lyrical mastery has been remixed over 800 times. In 1994, a hit remix was made by an acid house project from Underground Sound of Lisbon (DJ Vibe, Rui da Silva) and presented as a 100% Portuguese project with absolutely no mention of its creator Ithaka...now considered one of the biggest musical coverups since Milli Vanilli.
