I Get Along is the name of two very different songs by the The Libertines and the Pet Shop Boys

The Libertines version was the one of the two first singles they released along with "What A Waster". Although The Libertines' frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barat both sang at least a part of each song on their first two albums, "What A Waster" and "I Get Along" are notable for having only one vocalist: Doherty in the former, Barat in the latter.

Carl Barat's new band, Dirty Pretty Things, sometimes perform this song in their live set.

The Libertines' music video for "I Get Along" features all of the band except Doherty.

The Pet Shop Boys single is from their album Release. A love song, Neil Tennant has also hinted that it can also be interpreted as commentary on the then fraught relationship between British prime minister Tony Blair and New Labour architect Peter Mandelson after the later had to resign again from the British Cabinet after a second major scandal he was involved in. The video, which portrays young actors in a New York artist's studio and does not draw on the song's political subtext, was directed by Bruce Weber, who had worked with the band before, most notably for their video for the 1990 single Being Boring.
