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

In my bones
The lyrics of Groove Armada's song "In My Bones" seem to convey the idea of being deeply affected by the power of house music, to the point where it resonates within one's very being. The repetition of the phrase "House Music" seems to evoke the idea of the music as a constant, underlying force, almost like a heartbeat or a pulse. The repetition of the phrase "In my bones" adds to this idea, suggesting that the music is not just something that is heard or felt on the surface, but rather something that permeates one's entire being.
The lyrics also seem to suggest a sort of transcendental quality to house music, with lines like "Take me higher, take me home" and "I'm in the rhythm, I'm in the flow". The idea of being "taken" somewhere suggests that the music has the power to transport the listener beyond their current state, and the use of words like "rhythm" and "flow" suggest a sense of surrender and immersion in the music.
Overall, the lyrics of "In My Bones" convey the transformative, almost spiritual power of house music, and the way in which it can become a fundamental part of one's self.
