"C'mon N' Ride It (The Train)" is a popular dance song performed by Florida group Quad City DJ's in 1995, and released in 1996 as a single from the album Get On Up and Dance. The song is based on a sample of Barry White's 1974 song "Theme from Together Brothers". The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It was ranked the #1 song of 1996 by Village Voice magazine. This song is played at dance clubs quite often. Many remixes were made out of this song including the most famous mix produced by Lenny Bertoldo. The song is used as the theme song for the 1996 Jon Lovitz comedy-crime film High School High, and is also featured as a track in the Xbox 360 Kinect game Dance Central.

The Seattle Storm play this song at their WNBA games to lead fans in a conga line on the court. The song was also featured on the video game NCAA March Madness 06.

The Chicago Express play the song after a train horn after the Express score at their home games at the Sears Centre Arena.
