Context
This line is a lyric from the song of the same name by Marvin Gaye (from his album Let's Get it On, 1973).
While Olivia Newton-John insinuated something other than lifting weights with "Let's Get Physical," and we don't think Def Leppard was making tea when they said "Pour Some Sugar On Me," Marvin Gaye doesn't beat around the bush: he just comes out and says, "Let's Get it On."
You heard the man.
