Their most famous work is the 2000 international hit I See You Baby, remixed by Fatboy Slim in the Big Beat style -- with the repeated chorus line "Shakin' that ass," as heard in Renault Mégane advertisements. Vocals were provided by Ibiza-based DJ Gram'Ma Funk. Incidentally, this track was also recorded with the chorus line "Shakin' that thang" as a radio edit. While this is their most famous work, they have also produced less mainstream songs which are often featured in television adverts.
In the early part-of 2008 after parting company with Sony BMG, Groove Armada signed an "all encompassing deal" with the Bacardi rum brand that allows them to use GA's tracks for adverts. For more information, read Bands turn to brands in new deals

GROOVE ARMADA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bomb bomb, One ton bomb bomb, beebomb people call me 'The Bomb'
One ton bomb bomb, bomb bomb beedomb
Bomb bomb, one ton bomb bomb, beebomb people call me 'The Bomb'
One ton bomb bomb, bomb bomb beedomb
Bomb bomb, one ton bomb bomb, beebomb people call me 'The Bomb'
At first glance, the lyrics to Groove Armada's song "Fogma" might seem simple and straightforward. They consist of just a few lines repeating the phrase "One ton bomb, bomb bomb, beedbom" over and over again, with the occasional addition of the line "People call me 'The Bomb.'" However, there is a deeper meaning to these lyrics that becomes clear when you consider the context in which they were created.
It's worth noting that "Fogma" was released in 2000, at a time when anxiety about terrorism and the threat of nuclear war was high. The repeated phrase "One ton bomb, bomb bomb, beedbom" can be interpreted as a reference to these fears, with the bomb serving as a symbol of the destructive potential of modern technology. The addition of the line "People call me 'The Bomb'" reinforces this interpretation, implying that the destructive power of these weapons has become a defining characteristic of our society.
Overall, then, the lyrics to "Fogma" can be seen as a commentary on the ways in which technology has come to dominate our lives, and on the dangers of unchecked technological progress. By repeating the same phrase over and over again, Groove Armada emphasizes the insidiousness of this process, suggesting that we may be powerless to stop it.
