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 ↴
Well it's confy musical dingle
Groove Armada, featuring Stush and Red Rat, of course
MC STUSH:
Dip and galang
Dip and stand up
Body basic
Dip, galang, stand up
Every man in the world light up [bridge]
So they just dip
Galang
Stand up
Every man in the world light up [chorus]
Girls all stand up and watch me
They want their sushi
Move and try looking bushy
And I miss you, they just cut me
May have big booty
They are sweet like tutti frutti
Lips feel just like cherry
Angels and thats why I'm screeching
What I wait among the pressure
Jump and sing for lure a pedon
Body freeze and I pitch you up
Then boy, easy flick her off
Cause of this some girls get envy
Even then try mess up your party
Love, but be warned if you beat me
There is no need to compete
[chorus] 2x
So me I chill in the VIP suite
See my DJ playing my beat
Every newscast adverting me
The dancefloor is where we will meet
All over the world, they're feeling
Is so sweet, MIB
Pop Style, well I'm free
All jealousy, is for me
Their contribution fell on the finite
Why you're smiling? Cause of my defeat
Left all the love alit by the magic
Then when I boom, then when I freak
Find my commotions gone through my teeth
Working the last of style for a beat
Bow now break to be the elite
Jealousy I'll be nice and sweet
[chorus]2x
[bridge]

The song "Get Down" by Groove Armada featuring Stush is a catchy and upbeat dancehall track that encourages listeners to let loose and get their groove on. The opening lines set the stage for a fun and lighthearted atmosphere with Red Rat introducing the artists and proclaiming the song a "comfy musical dingle." Stush then takes the lead, urging listeners to dip, galang, and stand up as the beat drops. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and chorus make this a perfect anthem for dancing and letting go.
Stush's lyrics focus on the joy of dancing and the power it has to bring people together. She encourages both men and women to let loose and have fun, and highlights the sense of community that can be created on the dance floor. Her lyrics also hint at the idea of jealousy and competition between dancers, but she emphasizes that there is no need to compete - everyone can have their moment to shine.

All jealousy, is for me
Jealousy is directed at me
Their contribution fell on the finite
Their contributions were limited
Why you're smiling? Cause of my defeat
Are you enjoying seeing me fail?
Left all the love alit by the magic
Love was fueled by magic
Then when I boom, then when I freak
When I dance, I really go all out
Find my commotions gone through my teeth
My emotions are expressed through my actions
Working the last of style for a beat
Dancing with the latest style and beat
Bow now break to be the elite
Bow down and break to be part of the successful group
Jealousy I'll be nice and sweet
I'll be nice despite the jealousy directed at me
