Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove — a statement that can be taken figuratively, literally and symbolically that teaches the lesson that sometimes simplicity is profundity.
Used symbolically or metaphorically it can apply to people who let Tantric Sex get in the way of good fucking. Never let the “lyrics” get in the way of the “groove”.
Used literally it can refer to a lesson learned by Allee Willis when she co-wrote the song September with Maurice White.
White insisted on using the filler lyric “Ba-dee-ya” in the context of the finished song; and Allee Willis strongly disagreed with this choice and asked:
“What the fuck does “Ba-dee-ya” mean?”
To which Maurice White replied:
“What The fuck does it matter. Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.”
The song was a smash hit.
Figuratively it can be used to mean “less is more”.
Teenager learning to cook doing waaaaaaaay too much:
I’m gonna make a gourmet hamburger with sausage and beef topped with goat cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, Ketchup, and Vidalia onion.
Friend hungry and ready to eat now:
DUDE! Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove!!!! Just make us a couple of burgers.

A way of saying something important has actually been accomplished for real, while at the same time mocking former president George W. Bush
On May 1,2003 George W Bush landed on the deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln for a photo-op wearing a flight suit and declared "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq when in fact the war had just begun and absolutuly nothing had been accomplished. Exactly 8 years later Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan by Navy Seals, this is an example of Mission Accomplished and not in a Bush way.

Get the Gerard Way mug.The lead singer for the band My Chemical Romance. He is different from most famous singers, because he has saved the lives of many of his fans and tries to make a difference in the world. Doesn't use auto tune and has a beautiful voice. He is also the hottest guy in the entire world (ok, maybe there's one or two exceptions but that's it). Gerard Way is like a legit angel.
Beatrice: Gerard Way is ugly and he sucks. Justin Bieber is so much hotter.
Annie: You're just on LSD because your parents named you Beatrice.
