"Add It Up" is a song by American rock band Violent Femmes, released on their 1983 debut album Violent Femmes. It contains the lyrics: Band member Gordon Gano commented: "I was in my bedroom—that's where I wrote it—feeling frustrated. I had nowhere to go and nothing to do. It just happened to feel good lyrically ... and it still does." The song title was used as the name for the compilation album by the group, Add It Up (1981–1993). Some radio stations substitute a guitar note for the swear word for airplay.
