Groove Is In The Heart

This song is about how GROOVE is actually IN the HEART.

I'm kind of shocked that no one seems to have given the interpretation that I'm about to give.... but, here it goes.

This song is about sex. It's even crude at times about it. For example, the first lines.

"The chills that you spill up my back" (your cumshot on my back) "Keep me filled with satisfaction when we're done" (I love that feeling when sex is over) "Satisfaction of what's to come" (satisfaction of what's to CUM)

It's honestly pretty straight forward the entire time if you read between the lines a bit.

"I couldn't ask for another No, I couldn't ask for another" (these lines could refer to her not wanting to ask for another orgasm, because she's satisfied already, or that she couldn't ask for another lover in her life. It's simply depicting her satisfaction sexually)

Your groove, I do deeply dig (Replace the word "groove" with "cock" for a very direct interpretation. Another possibility is that "groove" is simply meaning the raw sexual chemistry between her and her lover)

No walls, only the bridge, my supper dish My succotash wish (these two lines could be talking about any sexual "wish" or "desire" that she wants fulfilled. However.... I can again break this down in a more "literal" interpretation. "No walls" = No sexual boundaries, no sexual restrictions. "only the bridge" = Biffin's Bridge to be specific, the space between her vagina and anus. "My super dish, my succotash wish" = this is euphemism for her wanting to try anal sex. The entirety of this verse as a whole is basically saying that she is so sexually attracted to this (man, presumably) that she is willing, and possibly eager, to try anal sex.

I'm going to go through the general meanings of the remaining verses without going into a terrible amount of detail. honestly because I'm getting a bit bored. lol.

Moving on....

The depth of hula groove Move us to the nth hoop We're going through to, Horten hears a who

This is meaning the depth (possibly literal depth) of your hip thrusting has moved her to the "nth hoop" (nth as in innumerable, hoop as in "levels" of pleasure).

DJ Soul was on a roll I been told he can't be sold Not vicious or malicious Just de-lovely and delicious

Possibly a straightforward reveal of who she's been singing about, whoever DJ Soul is/was. Or someone else she's been with that's at least comparable, or that she desires. However, I would guess that she's been with them and that they are the exact person she is singing about because here she states that they are delicious, which means she's been with them already and knows this, and the previous line of her saying that she "couldn't ask for another" could still mean another lover. So, I don't think this is another person introduced into the mix, this is who she is singing about.

Someone's in this torso (yeah) (Obvious... do I have to explain this?) Hot! Gotta deal you wanna know (wanna know) (The deal being that she wants to have sex) Dee-Liteful truly Dee-Liteful (liteful) (She's good at it) Makin' it doin' it 'specially at show (show) (Again obvious, but possibly the twist of making a spectacle or liking voyeurs in the mix) Feeling kinda high like a Hendrix haze (haze) (just a reference to sexual stimulation) Music makes motion moves like a maze (maze) (Again, just a sexual reference, this time mixing it with rhythm. A good thing to have when it comes to sex) All inside of me (side) (Do I have to explain?) Heart especially (yeah) (This one I'll take a moment to explain because it's importance is relevant to the main repeated line of the song, "Groove is in the Heart" Earlier I stated that "groove" is innuendo for "penis". Heart in this case is innuendo for vagina. So the two lines together "All inside of me, Heart especially" would mean "all inside me, especially my vagina". Which would be her preferred sexual location.... obviously.) Help of the rhythm where I wanna be (c'mon) (the rhythm is the sexual act, where she wants to be... or what she wants to be doing) Flowin' glowin' with electric eyes (ha) (passion) You dip to the dive baby you'll realize (yeah) (you know I'm right about this lust) Baby you'll see the funky side of me ( the side only a select few get to share with me, sex) Baby you'll see that rhythm is the key (hmm!) (rhythm makes you fuck good) Get get ready with it (with it) (about to orgasm) Can't can't quit it (quit it) (about to orgasm) Stomp on the street when I hear a funk beat (beat) (orgasm) Playing Pied Piper (orgasm) Follow what's true (just a filler line??? Or maybe meaning the sex was great?) Baby just sing about the groove (sing it) (sex was great)

Groove is in the Heart (As I said just above, this line is basically saying "Penis is in the Vagina" Which is the apex of the sexual act between a man and a woman, and this is why its repeated so frequently in the song and why its the focal point of the entire song, just as its the focal point of sex.)

It's about Lucifer being in the heart if you didn't know

What? No comments on this groovie song?

Such an anachronous, weird tune. Luv to party on this one... and don't forget, Towa Tei came from this one ;)

I think this song is about how Miss Kier wants to do it with this guy, but she wants to see him dance first because better dancers are better to do it with.

I mean, aside from it being about how groove is actually in the heart and all.

This used to be on VH1 EVERY MORNING! LOL

Where's the rap in the middle?

Here's the rap (after "Just de-lovely and delicious/I couldn't ask for another"):

Someone’s in this torso (yeah) Hot! Got a deal you wanna know (wanna know) De-liteful truly de-liteful (-liteful) Makin’ it doin’ it 'specially at a show (show) Feeling kinda high like a Hendrix haze (haze) Music makes motion moves like a maze (maze) All inside of me (side) Heart especially (yeah) Help of the rhythm where I wanna be (c’mon) Flowin’ glowin’ with electric eyes (ha) You dip to the dive baby you’ll realize (yeah) Baby you’ll see the funky side of me Baby you’ll see that rhythm is the key (hmm!) Get get ready with it (with it) Can’t can’t quit it (quit it) Stomp on the street when I hear a funk beat (beat) Playing Pied Piper Follow what’s true Baby just sing about the groove (sing it)

Sometimes when I'm at a concert or listening to a cd, the band strikes me as doing all the technical stuff right but just lacking a certain something. All I can think to myself at those moments is "groove is in the heart."

Love this song! It never fails to cheer me up.
