Groove is in the Heart
GROOVE IS IN THE HEART - DEEE-LITE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're going to dance,
You're going to dance,
And have some fun.
Dig!
The chills that you spill up my back,
Satisfaction of what's to come.
I couldn't ask for another.
No, I couldn't ask for another.
Another try...
Your groove, I do deeply dig,
No walls, only the bridge,
My supperdish, my succotash wish.
Sing it, baby!
I couldn't ask for another. (uh-huh, uh-huh)
No, I couldn't ask for another.
Groove is in the heart,
Groove is in the heart,
Groove is in the heart (astronomical!),
Groove is in the heart (hit me!).
Watch out!
The depth of hula groove,
Move us to the nth hoop,
We're going through to Horton Hears A Who-oo!
I couldn't ask for another.
No, I couldn't ask for another.
DJ Soul was on a roll,
I've been told he can't be sold,
He's not vicious or malicious,
Just de-lovely and delicious.
I couldn't ask for another.
Aww, sumpin looks in this torso here,
Hot, got a deal, you wanna know,
Delightful, truly deee-liteful,
Like makin' it, doin' it,
'specially at a show (show).
Feelin' kinda high like a "Hendrix haze" (haze),
Music makes motion moves like a maze (maze),
All inside of me, heart especially,
Help of the rhythmn, where I wanna be.
C'mon flow and glow with electric eye,
You dip to the dive baby you'll realize (yeah),
Baby you'll see the funky side of me,
Baby you'll see that rhythmn is the key.
Get, get with it, with it,
Can't can't, quit it, quit it,
Stomp on a street when I hear a funk loop (loop),
Playin' Pied Piper, follow what's true,
Baby just sing about the groove.
Sing it!
Groove is in the heart (na nana na na),
Groove is in the heart (na nana na na),
Groove is in the heart (na nana na na),
Groove is in the heart.
1, 2, 3, blooooooooo!
Blowin double on those horns.
The groove is in the heart.
Groove is in the heart,
Groove is in the heart,
Groove is in the heart,
Groove is in the heart.

A russian DJ, a Japanese DJ, a girl from Ohio, a legendary funk bassist, a legendary saxophone player, and an up-and-coming rapper come together and make a great 60s throwback house-dance song.

I think Q-Tip was successful already but he also never became as well-known as he deserved imo. And yeah this song is great and the band probably is too lol, I only know this one song. I like how the woman seems like she is emphasizing having fun more than anything
