Are you referring to the song ”Get Down On It” by the R&B band Kool and the Gang? Great song.

    The phrase that’s more commonly used is ”get down with” or ”down for.” It’s a slang that’s used to express agreement or like.

    E.g.,

    ”Say, I find John to be a very agreeable chap. What say you?”

    ”Yeah, I can get down with John.”


    ”I am growing weak from hunger. I seek sustenance . Shall we head to Ye Olde Mexican Inn tonight for dinner?

    ”Yeah, I’m down for Mexican tonight.”

    It means you are okay with doing whatever is being presented. It`s slang usually used by the Young.
    Where ”To get down to it” could be a reference to starting work or maybe clarify something in a conversation by ”getting down to it”
