I interpret the title to mean "get out there and rock a little or sing". There is a bit of a story Stevie has told about this song. I cannot remember all the details right now but it was something like Stevie was sick or tired and was laying back in her dressing room. She was feeling disillusioned with her life and career and basically not wanting to go onstage and do her show that night. Her Dad told her to get the Hell up and go Rock a Little. Hit the stage running and perform! I was always sort of bothered by this story for some reason. I am not sure why.....
I love her vocals on the song but it is not one of my faves. The sultry rasp is one of my most favorite Stevie voices so I adore that about the song. It sounds so bedroom voice-ish.
