The lyrics of "I see you baby, shakin' that ass" by Groove Armada featuring Stush and Red Rat are fairly straightforward in their meaning. The chorus repeats multiple times the phrase "I see you baby, shakin' that ass" which is a direct acknowledgement of a person's dance moves. The lyrics are meant to be playful and encourage people to let loose and dance without inhibition. The phrase "alright don't touch me" is likely a response to someone who may be dancing too closely or aggressively, indicating that the person wants to continue dancing without any physical contact. The repetition of the phrase "don't touch me" emphasizes this point.
It's important to note that the song is heavily influenced by dance music and club culture, which often prioritizes physical movement and freedom of expression on the dance floor. The lyrics reflect this, as they are simple, repetitive, and meant to be a part of the overall rhythm and beat of the music. The song is not meant to be taken too seriously but rather to create a fun, upbeat atmosphere for people to dance and enjoy themselves.

Consider that she had a hit song in 1976. That was THIRTY FOUR FUCKING YEARS before this video. Stunning, amazing, tenacious woman!

If Mr Brightside is a party and bar anthem for the UK, You Got The Love (Eren’s Bootleg Mix) is our clubbing national anthem.
What a tune.
@Professer.0ak
Music is not limited by country borders my friend, I'll take this classic over "Mr Brightside" any day... when this song came out the UK was deep into the Acid House rave scene.

I am the 601 like. Wow, I never heard this version. Is amazing like the voice of the singer, whom I assume is the original interpreter of the original version
