A dancing game developed by Roxor (and later partnered with Andamiro) in which players try to step on panels according to a step pattern that appears on screen.
While nearly identical in concept to Konami's Dance Dance Revolution, so much so that Roxor has been sued for patent and copyright infringement, some conceptual differences can be observed: the use of mines (which reduce one's life if triggered) and hands (a third or fourth arrow needing to be hit by slapping the panel with your hands), a scoring system based on the percentage of points scored over points possible, denser step patterns (some songs have over 800 steps, whereas DDR's densest song has only around 600), and a heavy emphasis on arrow modifiers present in the game's mod-heavy marathon courses

Get the In the Groove mug.Related Words
A good dancing game, which, contrary to popular belief, IS NOT A CRAPPY DDR RIP OFF. While it has the same basic gameplay as Dance Dance Revolution, it introduces new concepts such as hands (hitting 3 or 4 arrows at a time, with feet and your hands) and mines (avoid stepping on these). Both versions of In the Groove (ITG1 and ITG2) have good song lists.
Just to let you know, I play both ITG and DDR. I'm not a fanboy of either. I like them both the same.

Get the in the groove mug.Dance Dance Revolution rip off. Made by Roxor Games, the same people who made the Spongebob Squarepants game. DDR cabinets have been cracked into to install this crap. Konami filed a lawsuit, which they should. Roxor violated the antitrust law.
Me: Lets go play DDR at the mall.
Friend: Oh no, they put In the Groove in the cabinet.
Me: Don't worry, Konami will sue the hell out of them.

Get the In the groove mug.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.
