"Get Your Gunn" is the first official single by alternative metal band Marilyn Manson. The boy on the cover sleeve is Wes Brown, half-brother of bassist Twiggy Ramirez. A video was also released, but did not receive significant airplay.

The song was inspired by Dr. David Gunn (hence the spelling), a physician specialized in OB/GYN, who was murdered by Michael Frederic Griffin in 1993. Manson said his death was the ultimate hypocrisy.

The bridge of "Get Your Gunn" includes audio from the press conference at which American politician Budd Dwyer shot himself, as well as the gunshot that killed him.

Get Your Gunn was also the first release from Nothing Records.

Music Video

The music video, directed by Rod Chong, features Manson performing in a damp "attic-like" scene, intertwined by footage of band members and two feisty teenage girls. It did not receive much video play. It is one of the three music videos featuring Manson not wearing makeup.
