The original members of Deee-lite were:
* Supa DJ Dmitry (Dmitri Brill, born 4 June 1964, originally from Kiev, Ukraine)
* Lady Miss Kier (Kierin Magenta Kirby, born 15 August 1963, Youngstown, Ohio)
* Towa Tei (Dong-hwa Chung, born 7 September 1964, originally from Tokyo, Japan)
Brill and Kirby had an ongoing romantic relationship, which ended prior to the release of their third album, Dewdrops In the Garden. Also prior to that release, Tei went in a different musical direction embracing bossa nova as opposed to break beats (appearing only on the remix for "Call Me") while a new member was brought in, DJ On-E. Deee-Lite disbanded in 1994, just before the release of Dewdrops in the Garden.
Groove Is in the Heart
Deee-Lite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're going to dance
We're going to dance and have some fun
Dig
The chills that you spill up my back
Keep me filled with satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come
No, I couldn't ask for another (you know that's right)
Your groove, I do deeply dig
No walls, only the bridge, my supper dish
My succotash wish (sing it, baby)
I couldn't ask for another (uh huh, uh huh)
No, I couldn't ask for another
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart (astronomical)
Groove is in the heart (hit me)
Watch out
The depth of hula groove
Moves us to the Nth hoop
We're gonna groove to Horton Hears a Who-who
I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another
DJ Soul was on a roll
I've been told he can't be sold
He's not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious
I couldn't ask for another
Some looks in this torso (yeah)
Hot, got a deal, you wanna know (wanna know)
Delightful, truly delightful (lightful)
Makin' it, doin' it 'specially at show (show)
Feeling kinda high like a Hendrix haze (haze)
Music makes motion, moves like a maze (maze)
All inside of me (side), heart especially (yeah)
Hilt of the rhythm, where I wanna be (c'mon)
Flowin', glowin' with electric eyes
You dip to the dive, baby, you'll realize (yeah)
Baby, you'll see the funky side of me
Baby, you'll see that rhythm is the key
Get, get with it, with it
Can't can't quit it, quit it
Stomp on the stoop when I hear a funk loop
Playing Pied Piper, follow what's true
Baby, just sing about the groove (sing it)
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
One, two, three
Blow them horns along
Groove is in your heart
Groove is in the heart (yeah)
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Hahaha, c'mon, y'all deep
Y'all are crazy, man
