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

You know the fellas good for the moolah
The lyrics of the song 'If Everybody Looked The Same' by Groove Armada seem to reflect on how society values appearances and material wealth. The repetitious phrase "You know the fellas good for the moolah" implies that people are often judged based on how much money they have, rather than who they are as individuals. The chorus "If everybody looked the same, we'd get tired looking at each other" suggests that society places too much importance on physical appearances, and that it would become monotonous if everyone looked identical. The song seems to advocate for individualism and diversity, and encourages people to look beyond the surface-level qualities of others.
The repeated "Everybody look" also emphasizes the idea of the song being about appearances, as though the singer is telling us to take notice of those around us and the way they look. The repetition of "every" implies that this is not just a hypothetical situation, but rather something that affects everyone. The song seems to be suggesting that if everyone was wealthy and identical, we would become bored with each other and lose touch with our individuality.
Overall, the lyrics of 'If Everybody Looked The Same' encourage listeners to value true authenticity over materialism and to appreciate the diversity of people around us. The song seems to be promoting the idea that differences in appearance and character are what make the world interesting, and that we should celebrate these differences rather than trying to conform to societal norms.
