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:

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”.

Lyraq

Lyraq is a nickname to Switzerlands tenth largest city, Lyss. Lyss was given this nickname because there are more murders and violence that occur in Lyss than the war in Iraq. Walking the streets of Lyss is like walking in Iraq with all the murders, robbery, gang bangs, and acts of violence.
