Quincy Jones – Getta Bloomin' Move On! (Self Preservation Society)
“Getta Bloomin’ Move On! (Self Preservation Society)” - Quincy Jones from The Italian Job (1969) soundtrack.
Get a Bloomin’ Move On (or The Self-Preservation Society as it is sometimes referred to) originated from old East End tunes like My Old Man’s a Dustman. Quincy had a fascination with Cockney rhyming slang, he found it very funny and apparently created it for the amusement of the production team.
For years many fans of the film believe that Michael Caine himself is performing the lyrics on the infamous track, and in the book ‘The Making of The Italian Job’, the author Matthew Field conducts an interview with Caine and he confirmed that he is on the track with many of the other ‘lads’ from the film!
