The band then began to take on a life beyond the confines of the television screen, releasing an album, Briefcase Full of Blues, in 1978, and then having a Hollywood film, The Blues Brothers, created around its characters in 1980.
After the death of Belushi in 1982, the Blues Brothers have continued to perform with a rotation of guest singers and other band members. Aykroyd reunited the original band in 1988 for a world tour and again in 1998 for a sequel to the film, Blues Brothers 2000. Aykroyd and the band, occasionally joined by Belushi's brother Jim, make regular appearances at musical festivals worldwide.

Would you ride with me tonight

The lyrics to The Blues Brothers' song "Groove Me" are about the singer's desire to spend a night with a pretty baby. The singer asks the baby to ride with him and groove to the music while the moon is shining bright. He compliments her on her appearance and asks her to groove with him again. He then shows off his mobile and automobile and asks the baby to groove with him again while he feels good.
The lyrics are straightforward, with a focus on the repetitive nature of the groove. It's clear that the singer is trying to entice the baby with the promise of a good time, using his charm and his cool car to impress her.
The repetition of the "hey hey hey hey" and "woo hoo hoo" in the chorus emphasizes the song's focus on the groove and the fun of the moment. The repeated "ow!" is a kind of blues vocalization that expresses the intensity of the groove, adding an extra element of excitement to the song.
Overall, the lyrics to "Groove Me" are a celebration of the appeal of a good time and the desire to connect with someone else through music and dance.

Oh, I've been thinking of you
And you've been thinking of me
Oh, I'll give all that I have
If you'll give all that I need
And oh, oh, oh, lets be fair
And I think its time we cleared the air
You've been watching you, I've been watching you
You know I've been wantin to groove with you
Girl, speak your mind
Groove with you
You been thinking all of this time
Groove with you
Aw baby what I wouldn't do
Groove with you
Just spending my days with you
Oh, love is all in your eyes
Love fire is burning for me
You stay all in my mind
Oh woman, its easy to see
Oh, let's be fair
You know its time we cleared the air
You've been watching me, I've been watching you
You know, you know
Groove with you
Oh I want a groove, I want a groove
Groove with you
