Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove

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.

Husband:

First we are going to do eye gazing; then we are going to give each other oil massages. After that we are going to place our right hands on each other’s hearts while chanting a pleasure mantra. Next, we are going to…

Wife interrupts:

Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.
