"Groove Is in the Heart" is a song by American dance band Deee-Lite. It was released in August 1990 as the lead single from their debut album, 1990's World Clique. "Groove is in the Heart" was a hit in many countries, reaching number one in Australia. Guest vocals were provided by Parliament-Funkadelic member Bootsy Collins and A Tribe Called Quest rapper Q-Tip [1], while the song's intro was sampled from the introduction track of Bel-Sha-Zaar's The Art of Belly Dancing (1969).

In a TV spot promoting the 2016 release of Sing, Gunter plugs his Christmas-themed dance remix of this song into an ice rink's sound system as he and characters from Sing visit and dance.

Lyrics

[Sampled Intro]
(We're going to dance)
(We're going to dance)
(We're going to dance and have some fun)

[Intro: Bootsy Collins]
(Dig!)

[Verse 1: Lady Miss Kier]
The chills that you spill up my back keep me filled
With satisfaction when we're done
Satisfaction of what's to come
I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another
[Bootsy Collins]
(You know that's right)
[Lady Miss Kier]
Your groove I do deeply dig
No walls, only the bridge
My supper dish, my succotash wish
[Q-Tip]
(Sing it, baby)
[Lady Miss Kier]
I couldn't ask for another
[Q-Tip]
(Uh huh, uh huh)
[Slide whistle]
[Lady Miss Kier]
No, I couldn't ask for another
[Slide whistle]

[Chorus: Lady Miss Kier]
[Slide whistle]
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
[Bootsy Collins]
(Astronomical)
[Lady Miss Kier]
Groove is in the heart
[Bootsy Collins]
(Watch out)

[Verse 2: Lady Miss Kier]
The depth of hula groove
Moves into the tenth hoop
We're gonna groove to Horton Hears a Who-who
I couldn't ask for another
No, I couldn't ask for another
DJ Soul was on a roll
I've been told he can't be sold
He's not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious
I couldn't ask for another
[Slide whistle]

[Verse 3: Q-Tip]
Unh, some looks in this torso, yeah
Hot, got a deal, you wanna know, wanna know
Delightful, truly delightful, lightful
Makin' it, doin' it, 'specially at a show, show
Feelin' kinda high like a Hendrix haze, haze
Music makes motion, moves like a maze, maze
All inside of me, side, heart especially, yeah
Note of the rhythm, where I wanna be, c'mon
Flowin', glowin' with electric eyes, eyes
You dip to the dive, baby yo, realize, yeah
When will you see the funky side of me?
Baby, you'll see that rhythm is the key, yeah
Get, get, wit' it, wit' it, can't think, quit it, quit it
Stomp on the streets when I hear a funk beat, bloop
Playin' pop like follow hoods true
Baby, just sing about the groove
[Bootsy Collins]
(Sing it)

[Chorus: Lady Miss Kier]
Groove is in the heart (na na na na na)
Groove is in the heart (na na na na na)
Groove is in the heart (na na na na na)
Groove is in the heart
[Slide whistle]
(One, two, three)

[Ad lib: Q-Tip]
Blow them horns along
[Bootsy Collins]
(The groove is in your heart)

[Chorus: Lady Miss Kier]
Groove is in the heart
[Bootsy Collins]
(yeah)
[Lady Miss Kier]
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart
Groove is in the heart

[Outro: Spoken]
Hmmmmm
He he he he
C'mon, y'all deep
Y'all are crazy, man
