"I Get Along" is a song by the British punk band The Libertines. It was originally released on the band's debut single, "What A Waster", as a B-side. "What A Waster" and "I Get Along" are both notable for having only one vocalist: Doherty in the former, Barat in the latter (on many other Libertines songs both Barat and Doherty would share vocal duties). However, it is unclear who wrote which song - both are credited to Doherty/Barat, although Doherty has previously stated that he wrote most of both songs. This is unconfirmed and, most would agree, unimportant as Barat's backing vocals and guitar playing add much to both songs.
Carl Barat's new band, Dirty Pretty Things, sometimes perform this song in their live set, while Doherty has been known to cover it when playing acoustic gigs.
The version of the song that appeared on the "What a Waster" single was recorded by Bernard Butler. A re-recorded version, produced by Mick Jones, was included on the band's debut album, Up the Bracket. Both follow the same structure, although they are noticeably different in sound.
The Libertines' music video for "I Get Along" features all of the band except Doherty who was temporarily out of the band when it came to recording the video. The song is featured on the Libertine's debut album Up the Bracket as well as the US released I Get Along EP.
"I get along" is a single by the Pet Shop Boys from their album Release. A love song, Neil Tennant has also hinted that it can also be interpreted as commentary on the then fraught relationship between British prime minister Tony Blair and New Labour architect Peter Mandelson after the later had to resign again from the British Cabinet after a second major scandal he was involved in. The video, which portrays young actors in a New York artist's studio and does not draw on the song's political subtext, was directed by Bruce Weber, who had worked with the band before, most notably for their video for the 1990 single "Being Boring". It also features a rare appearance of Tennant playing an acoustic guitar.
