Shake Your Groove Thing Song Lyrics
Shake it, shake it
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now, show 'em how we do it now
Let show the world we can dance
Bad enough to strut our stuff
The music gives us a chance
We do more out on the floor
Groovin' loose or heart to heart
We put in motion every single part
Funky sounds wall to wall
We're bumpin' booties, havin' us a ball, y'all
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
We got the rhythm tonight
All the rest know we're the best
Our shadows crash in the light
Twistin', turnin', we keep burnin'
Shake it high or shake it low
We take our bodies where they wanna go
Feel that beat, never stop
Oh, hold me tight, spin me like a top
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
There's nothing more that I'd like to do
Than take the floor and dance with you
Keep dancin', let's keep dancin'
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it
Groovin' loose or heart to heart
We put in motion every single part
Funky sounds wall to wall
We're bumpin' booties, havin' us a ball, y'all
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now
Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
Show 'em how we do it now, yeah
Shake it
Show 'em how we do it now, yeah
Shake it, shake it
Shake it
Doo, doo, doo, whoa
Shake it
Doo, doo, doo, whoa
Shake your groove thing
Shake your groove thing
Show 'em how we do it now, let's get on down
Show 'em how we do it now, show 'em how we do it now, ooh
Ooh
Show 'em how we do it now, shake your groove thing
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, a bumpin' booty, now
Shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, a little freaky now
Shake it, shake it
A shake it, shake it, a do it to it y'all

- Historical fact: "Shake Your Groove Thing" is a track emblematic of the disco era that introduced, or rather, drew the world's attention to the flashy, dance
Annotations and Meaning:
"Shake Your Groove Thing" by Peaches & Herb was more of an anthem hip-able to the disco era, reflecting the joyous pulse and "dance-'til-you-drop" credo that earmarked the times. As a matter of fact, the song is more of a jubilant party of the music, the movements, and the self, telling the audience to burst out with your style and show the world.
The first line "Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah. Show 'em how we do it now" is an invitation to dance, but rather an invitation for one to express him or herself and be free through dancing. The term "groove thing" is metaphorically used here to define a person's rhythm and style; hence, calling upon everybody to come and show off, acting with style.
Lines such as "Let show the world we can dance / Bad enough to strut our stuff" are reflective not only of this particular type of pride and the confidence of the spirit that resides in community but are also reflective of. This demonstrates the power with which dance brings people together in an effort to ensure that all within the dance experience the pleasure brought about by the music and movements with one another. This is further elicited with a quite up-tempo and an infectious rhythm that might force one out of his seat.
"Conveying a sense of collective triumph and exultation, 'We got the rhythm tonight / All the rest know we're the best. It is testimony to the strength of the dancers and the magnetic energy with which they come on the floor: that power of the dance, which lifts the spirits and brings people together to a feel-good congregation.
The repetitious form of the song, with the chorus to "Shake your groove thing," imitates the most dance moves' verse-chorus-bridge-chorus pattern and the cycling pattern of disco music. The purpose of repetition is to be an entrancing and invigorating pull on listeners, moving them into a dance experience with others.
Lines such as "There's nothing more that I would like to do / Than take the floor and dance with you" will underline an overall message in this song of togetherness and sharing happiness. It will underscore that more than anything, dancing with each other is part and parcel of life and is a great source of excitement.
Essentially, "Shake Your Groove Thing" is an eternal dance, an eternal celebration of music, and an eternal celebration of life. It holds within the message of the 70s, the disco era, and timelessly holds its relevance to the freedom, unity, and self-expression of generations. With an extremely infectious beat and flowing lyrics, the song still gets today's listeners to express their "groove thing" and still adds them to the global language of dance.
