Feelin' Groovy

[Dillinger]

This is my nomination for the "Best Song that is Timeless and Still Relevant and yet Actually has the Word GROOVY In It, Even Though No One Ever Actually Uses The Word Groovy Anymore, or, if They Do They Either Date Themselves or Get Very Self Conscious About the Fact That They Just said GROOVY and Looks Around Quickly in the Hopes That No One Was Paying Attention"...

As crazy and difficult and stressful as things have been for me lately, when I take a step back, and BREATHE, you know what? I feel pretty damn groovy.

Anyone else "Lookin' for fun and Feelin' Groovy?"

THE 59TH STREET BRIDGE SONG (FEELIN' GROOVY)
Paul Simon

Slow down, you're movin' too fast,
You've got to make the mornin' last,
Just a-kickin' down the cobblestones,
Lookin' for fun and Feelin' Groovy,
Ba, da, da, da, da, Feelin' Groovy.

Hello lampost,
What ya knowin'?
I've come to watch your flowers growin',
Ain't you got no rhymes for me,
Da, doo, 'n, da, doo, doo, Feelin' Groovy,
Ba, da, da, da, da, Feelin' Groovy.

I got no deeds to do,
No promises to keep,
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep,
Let the morning-time drop all its pedals on me,
Life, I love you,
All is groovy.
(Ba, da, da, da, da, etc.)

"A Groovy Kind of Love"
(Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders).

 

[Dillinger]

A GROOVY KIND OF LOVE

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me, I can feel your heartbeat
I can hear you breathing near my ear
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love

Anytime you want to you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love, oh

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I don't care
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love, oh
We got a groovy kind of love

Shake Your Groove Thing
Peaches & Herb



Shake it, shake it

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now, show 'em how we do it now

Let show the world we can dance
Bad enough to strut our stuff
The music gives us a chance
We do more out on the floor

Groovin' loose or heart to heart
We put in motion every single part
Funky sounds wall to wall
We're bumpin' booties, havin' us a ball, y'all

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now

We got the rhythm tonight
All the rest know we're the best
Our shadows crash in the light
Twistin', turnin', we keep burnin'

Shake it high or shake it low
We take our bodies where they wanna go
Feel that beat, never stop
Oh, hold me tight, spin me like a top

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now

There's nothing more that I'd like to do
Than take the floor and dance with you
Keep dancin', let's keep dancin'

Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it

Groovin' loose or heart to heart
We put in motion every single part
Funky sounds wall to wall
We're bumpin' booties, havin' us a ball, y'all

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah

Show 'em how we do it now, yeah
Shake it
Show 'em how we do it now, yeah
Shake it, shake it

Shake it
Doo, doo, doo, whoa
Shake it
Doo, doo, doo, whoa

Shake your groove thing
Shake your groove thing

Show 'em how we do it now, let's get on down
Show 'em how we do it now, show 'em how we do it now, ooh
Ooh
Show 'em how we do it now, shake your groove thing

Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, a bumpin' booty, now
Shake it, shake it

[Dillinger]

Such A Groovy Guy
by Al Yankovic


Lyrics:

I got my alligator boots, I wear my pants skin tight
I wear my dark sunglasses in the middle of the night
And when I look in the mirror, oh it's such an awesome sight
It makes me want to kneel down and pray

I'm so adorable and charming
I'm sure that you can see
And everybody's always tryin' to hang around with me
They tell me I'm the greatest, and it's hard to disagree
'Cause I'm so perfect in every way

And I'm so cute
I can hardly stand it
And I'm so handsome, honey, I could just die
I know you'll never be as wonderful as me
But at least you can try

?Cause I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy

Baby, are you in the mood for a little romance
Well, for starters I could pour some chocolate pudding down your pants
And then attach electrodes to your brain and watch you dance
Well, golly, wouldn't that be fun

Oh, and then I might decide to tie you up with dental floss
I'll make you wear a harness, and I'll show you who's the boss
Of course, if you refuse, well honey, it's your loss
I mean, I don't do this with just anyone

So baby, how can you say its all over
So how can you tell me goodbye
So now you tell me that you're leavin' me for good
And all I wanna know is why
I mean, after all

I'm really such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy

I mean you could do worse

I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm just such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)

Baby, I tell you I'm such a groovy guy, I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy, I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy, such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Such a groovy guy, such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy guy, such a groovy, groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah, I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm really such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Such a groovy guy, I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Such a groovy guy (whoo)
Yeah

Let's Groove (Earth, Wind, and Fire)

And wasn't there somehting about Groovin' on down the Highway?



Man, these groovy cats here can swing!

 

[Dillinger]

LET'S GROOVE
Maurice White & Wayne Vaughn
Let this groove, get you to move,
it's alright, alright
let this groove, set in your shoes,
stand up, alright

Gonna tell you what you can do,
with my love, alright
Let you know girl you're looking good
you're out of sight and alright

Move yourself and glide like a 747
loos yourself in the sky among the clouds in the heavens

Let this groove, light up your fuse, alright
Let this groove, set in your shoes

stand up, alright
Let me tell you what you can do
with my love, alright

Gotta let you know girl you're looking good
you're out of sight, you're alright

Tell the DJ to play your favorite tune
then you know it's okay
What you found is happiness, now

Let this groove, get you to move, alright
Let this groove set in your shoes
stand up, alright

You will find peace of mind on the floor
Take a little time, come and see, you and me
make a little sign, I'll be there after a while
if you want my love

We can boogie on down, down, down, down
Let's groove tonight
share the spice of life
baby slice it right
we're gonna groove tonight

 

[Dillinger]

And let's not forget Hendrix:

Midnight lightnin'

I get stoned
I can't go home
I'm calling long distance on a public saxophone
My head is achin'
Lord, my mind is breakin'
Feel I got run over by Captain Coconut and his dog name Rover
Gotta keep movin'
Gotta keep movin'
To understand both sides of the sky
You gotta kepp on groovin', yeah
Good groovin'
'Cause you got your God and so do I
We gotta keep on lovin'
Good, good, good lovin'
Make love on my dyin' bed
We gotta stop smokin', stop, stop,
I mean cigarette smokin'
Or else I cough myself to death
And to make love to you, baby,
I wouldn't even have the breath
We gotta keep movin'
Keep on groovin'
Understand both sides of the sky
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
You got your God and so do I

 

[Dillinger]

And B-52's

Love Shack
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says
15 miles to the... Love Shack! Love Shack yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money

The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love baby, that's where it's at, Ooo love baby, that's where it's at

Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back

Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the hallway

The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing
Cause it's hot as an oven
The whole shack shimmies! The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!

Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!
I got me a car, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money.

Bang bang bang on the door baby! Knock a little louder baby!
Bang bang bang on the door baby! I can't hear you
Your what?.... Tin roof, rusted!

Love Shack, baby Love Shack!
Love baby, that's where it's at
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin' at the love shack

Groovin'



Groovin' on a sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon.
I can't imagine anything that's better,
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of
Movin' down a crowded avenue,
Doin' anything we'd like to do.
There's always lots of things that we could see.
We could be anyone we'd like t be.
And all those happy people we could meet just,

Groovin' on a sunday afternoon,
Really couldn't away too soon, no no no no

We'll keep on spendin' sunny days this way.
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away.
I feel it comin' closer day by day.
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly
Groovin' on a sunday afternoon.
Really couldn't get away too soon

 

[cymbidia]

Here's another from Simon and Garfunkel. It's from the Sounds of Silence album, just before I Am A Rock:

We've Got A Groovey Thing Goin'

Bad news, bad news!
I heard you're packing to leave
I come a-running right over
I just couldn't believe it
I just couldn't believe it

Oh, baby, baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you're kicking away?
We've got a groovy thing goin', baby
We've got a groovy thing

I never done you no wrong
I never hit you when you're down
I always gave you good loving
I never ran around
I never ran around

Oh, baby, baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you're kicking away?
We've got a groovy thing goin', baby
We've got a groovy thing

There's something you ought to know
If you're fixing to go
I can't make it without you
No no no no, no no
No no, no no no no no

Oh, baby, baby
You must be out of your mind
Do you know what you're kicking away?
We've got a groovy thing goin', baby
We've got a groovy thing

We've got a groovy thing goin', baby
We've got a groovy thing

~snickering wildly~

Iron Butterfly... from the infamous In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album

Are You Happy
Are you happy?

I met a pretty girl on a date last night,
and let me tell you now, she was groovy.
And I kissed the pretty girl, and I held her tight,
let me tell you now, she was groovy.

And now, no matter what I try to do
my mind's drifting back to you.

Are you happy?

And now, no matter what I try to do
my mind's drifting back to you.

Are you happy?

To you.

Are you happy?

Oh, I love you.

Please, tell me now that you're happy,
please, tell me now that you're mine.

Please, tell me now that you're happy,
please, tell me now that you're mine.

I wanna tell you I love you.

Are you happy?

[Dillinger]

Grovvy Little Hippie Pad
ZZ Top


I'm gonna find me a groovy little hippie pad.
I'm gonna find me a groovy little hippie pad.
I work a hundred grand scam from a border town.
Well, I'll be feeling glad.

I'm gonna find me a blonde-haired mama,
In a Jeep with a German Shepherd by her side.
I'm gonna find me a blonde-haired mama,
With boots and a fourty-four on her side.
And if I ain't too hjigh or used up,
I'll have her take me for a groovy little hippie ride.

I'm gonna fix brown rice every day,
And drink down a bottle of Midnight Red.
I'm gonna fix brown rice every day,
And drink down a bottle of Midnight Red.
That's all I need to get groovy,
That's what all the little hippie said.
