That track won a Grammy Award and became an international 40 hit in many countries while also being featured in several films. Later singles with significant airplay include "You All Dat", "Move It Like This", and "Best Years of Our Lives" among others. Yet their commercial fortunes came in fits and starts after the 2002 album 'Move It Like This'. While barely releasing any more material, they toured often during the past decade, finally becoming a dormant project over the past several years as its members pursued other endeavors. This changed in October 2015 when a rejuvenated group released the album 'Ride With Me'.

We Rubbin'
Baha Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grab the fellas hit it fast on the highway
Song is bumpin' in the car get the dance on
Lookin' for a dance club, gotta get my sound
Hit this spot where the beat is feeling kinda right
Shake it up shake it down, move it left and right
All night
Let the rhythm take control
You can do it, nothing to it
Now you know you grooving when you
Put your hands way up high (we rubbin')
And wave them from side to side (we rubbin')
Put your hands on your hips (we rubbin')
And shake shake shake, we rubbin'
Put your hands way up high (we rubbin')
And wave them from side to side (we rubbin')
Put your hands on your hips (we rubbin')
And shake shake shake, we rubbin'
I feel it, I know you feel it too.
And if your doin' it right let me hear you say, oooh.
Don't stop, hit it, get it, hop hop, hit it hit it,
Get up on your feet and get rubbin'
Make sure the DJ puts rubbin' on
And everybody in the house just sing along
And if you didn't bring a friend make a new one
Just start the rubbin' it's a lot of fun
Let the rhythm take control
You can do it, nothing to it
Now you know you grooving when you
Put your hands way up high (we rubbin')
And wave them from side to side (we rubbin')
Put your hands on your hips (we rubbin')
And shake shake shake, we rubbin'
Put your hands way up high (we rubbin')
Wave them from side to side (we rubbin')
Put your hands on your hips (we rubbin')
And shake shake shake
When the body is dead, we got to get it jumpin'-acap
