"Rip It Up" was a 1983 single by Scottish
post-punk band
Orange Juice. It was the second single to be released from their 1982
album of the same name. The song became the band's only UK top 40 success, reaching no. 8 in the chart.
Rip It Up signalled a departure from the sound of the band's earlier singles, with
Chic influenced guitars and using a synthesiser to create a more disco-oriented sound.
