"Rip It Up" is a song from Australian rock band Jet's second album, Shine On (2006). It was released on 27 November 2006 as the album's second single in Australia. Fellow band members and brothers Chris and Nic Cester, together with Cameron Muncey, co-wrote the track.[1]

At a concert at London's Brixton Academy Nic, the lead singer, announced "Here's a song we've written about Paris Hilton – it's called 'Rip It Up'", he referred to American socialite Paris Hilton.[2] Contactmusic.com's reporter claims that the track "includes lyrics threatening to kill Hilton's pet dog... [and] includes a reference to her infamous sex video."[2] The lyrics include a line from the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz: "I'm gonna get you my pretty, and your little dog too."

"Rip It Up" debuted at No. 67 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and peaked at No. 49 for one week before leaving the top 50.[3] "Rip It Up" was released in the United Kingdom as the fourth single from Shine On and as a limited edition 7-inch vinyl but failed to chart. A music video was made for the song.

The song was the official theme song for the WWE pay-per-view event (now premium live event) SummerSlam 2010, the second of a sequence of six consecutive SummerSlam events that were held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.[4]
