"Rev It Up" is a song by American musician Jerry Harrison, performed with his band Casual Gods. Written by Harrison, John Sieger, and Ernie Brooks, the song features a prominent guitar riff created by Harrison and Alex Weir of American funk band the Brothers Johnson. The track was recorded in a bomb shelter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, along with most of Harrison's second album, Casual Gods (1988), on which the song appears as the opening track.
"Rev It Up" was released as the album's lead single in the United States in January 1988. The song reached number seven on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and became a top-10 hit in Australia and New Zealand, peaking at numbers three and six, respectively.
