Backstory:
Bassline drives you out of your mind, dancers doing the bump and grind. Turn it loose, reaching higher ground, chasin' a groove. Vocals by Alex Edy & Tony Bell, all instrumentation by Tony Bell, Lyrics by Clare Steffen. Recorded and mixed at T-Bone Studios in the UK as a part of the Round The Globe Project.
It's funny, I had the lyric tightly constructed with the same amount of syllables in each line and all extra or unnecessary words removed, but singers need to have freedom to sing in their own style (especially in this style of song), and so I added in all the little improves that aded to the lyric
Lyrics:
V1
Felt like I was in a funk
Back to black, I was feeling down
I got as drunk as a skunk
I listened to some old Motown
V2
Brought me to a better place
Sounds burning in my soul
Put a little smile on my face
Funk music got me ready to roll
Pre-chorus
I'm chasing a groove
Oh yeah, I'm chasin' a groove
I'm chasin' a groove
Chorus
Bassline drives right me out of my mind
Drumbeats accent on every sound
Dancers doing the bump and grind
Turn it loose, till we reach that higher ground
My feet, they began to move
I can't help but feel the passion
Now I'm chasing, chasing a groove
My body's up and now I'm dancin'
Chasin' a groove
Oh yeah, I'm chasin' a groove
--Instrumental break--
V3
Horny sounds floating in the air
Carry me on that treble high
Movin' like I just don't care
Fell free like I'm a butterfly
Pre-chorus
Chasin' a groove, chasing' a groove
Chasin' a groove
Oh yeah, I'm chasin' a groove
Chorus
Bassline drives me out of my mind
Drumbeats accent every sound
Dancers doing the bump and grind
Turn it loose, reaching higher ground
My feet began to move
I can't help but feel the passion
Now I'm chasing a groove
My body's up and now I'm dancin'
Chasin' a groove
Oh yeah, I'm chasin' a groove
