Give It Up is a 1992 song by Zki & Dobre performing under the name "The Good Men" or alternatively, "The Goodmen". It samples "Fanfarra (Cabua-Le-Le)" and "Magalenha" by Sérgio Mendes and "I Need You Now" by Sinnamon.

In 1995, Simply Red sampled "Give It Up" for their UK #1 hit "Fairground".

The Goodmen were credited for the sample, and Mendes was also given credit as the performer of "Fanfarra", the original source of the Goodmen's track.

Chartwise, it hit #1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1993, and made a brief appearance on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #71. After being re-released in late 1993, it reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart.

The song charted highly in Netherlands, reaching number 6, and also appeared on the Belgian, German and Swiss singles charts.
