Vicki and Matt discuss having a party for BBC Learning English where they can come over, join in, and get down. Vicki invites Matt to come over and join their party, even if he can't come in person. Matt likes the song they are listening to and wants to dance. Vicki notes the song encourages dancing by using the phrase "get down," which means to dance. Matt agrees "get down" is informal slang commonly used in songs, especially American English songs, to mean dance. They observe their friend Paul really getting down and dancing enthusiastically.
