MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut 1 — opening bassline of “Groove Is in the Heart”)

February 9, 1991.

This song was everywhere —
clubs, radio, MTV.

Deee-Lite’s
“Groove Is in the Heart.”

(Music Cut 2 — verse settles in)

While recording this track,
Deee-Lite happened to be working
in the same studio complex as
A Tribe Called Quest.

(Music Cut 3 — A Tribe Song cut)

Q-Tip wandered in,
heard the beat,
loved it —
and wrote his verse on the spot.

He recorded it in one take.

(Music Clip #4 of My supper dish, my succotash wish (Sing it, baby))

That’s Q-Tip.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Music makes motion, moves like a maze
All inside of me, heart especially.” — Deee-Lite
