"Get Set" is a song by Australian band Taxiride, written by founding member and co-lead vocalist Tim Wild. The song was recorded at Ocean Way Studios, Los Angeles, and produced by Jack Joseph Puig. Released in May 1999 as the band's debut single, it peaked within the top 10 in Australia and also reached number 41 in New Zealand. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1999, the song was nominated for two awards: 'Breakthrough Artist – Single' and 'Best Pop Release', winning the former.
"Get Set" was used in the soundtrack of the 1999 film Election. In the film, the character Tammy is in her room listening to the song.
