One of the most popular pop/jazz groups, Fattburger has been classified by some as new adult contemporary music, contemporary jazz , or smooth jazz . The San Diego-based unit has survived through many trends and still plays the same type of accessible funky music that was its original goal. Saxophonist Hollis Gentry, while in high school, led a group (Power) that opened for Cannonball Adderley at a college concert in 1972. After graduating, Gentry toured with R&B groups. He attended San Diego State University and during the second half of the 1970s had opportunities to play straight-ahead jazz with Bruce Cameron. When their last band broke up, Gentry and the other musicians (keyboardist Carl Evans, bassist Mark Hunter, drummer Kevin Koch, and guitarist [arist]Steve Laury) went out on their own and became Fattburger. Tommy Aros joined the band as their percussionist and in the early '90s, when Laury started a solo career, Evan Marks became Fattburger's guitarist. In the mid-'90s, Fattburger found a home on the Shanachie label, releasing a string of well-received albums into the 21st Century
Groovin'
Fattburger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really couldn't get away too soon
I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of
Groovin', down a crowded avenue
There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we want to be
And all those happy people we could meet just
Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it comin' closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha

Groovin', on a Sunday afternoon
Enjoying life and feeling carefree on a leisurely Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon
Not wanting to leave the enjoyable situation
I can't imagine anything that's better
Expressing the perfection of the current moment
The world is ours whenever we're together
Feeling like nothing else matters when with loved ones
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of
Being content and satisfied with the current location and situation
Groovin', down a crowded avenue
Feeling the rhythm and energy while walking down a busy street
Doin' anything we like to do
Being spontaneous and free to do whatever brings joy and fun
There's always lots of things that we can see
Feeling the world is full of interesting and exciting things to discover
We can be anyone we want to be
Embracing the possibility of being whoever they desire
And all those happy people we could meet just
Feeling excited about the prospect of meeting new people and making connections
We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
Intend to continue this wonderful experience under the bright sun
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away

Sensing a deepening of the relationship and experience with time
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
