What is the most ridiculously groovin' song you know?
 

I'm trying to compile a list of music for keepin up enery levels, but the only music I've listened to for quite sometime is rock n' roll and that limits my musical knowledge base by a lot as it is mostly aggressive and that's no good. Now I come to you music forum goers, help me out. The most groovin' song I know of is Black Betty.

Guys, honestly I dont think some of these songs qualify as groove. The metal stuff? I think we're talking funk here. War Pigs? AC/DC? Black Dog? If thats the most groovin' song you know, good gravy, go pick up some motown or something.

John Otto from Limp Bizkit gooves alot, then Fred Durst opens his mouth and ruins it.
Michael Jackson - Billy Jean, pick a song... any song.
Ohio Players
Outkast - Roses, So Fresh So Clean, Ms. Jackson, Bowtie, Spaghetti Junction, and lots of others
Phish - Guelah Papyrus, Cavern, Weigh, and a shitload of others.
Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man
A CD I have called "PORNOSONIC: 70's porn music"
The Fixx - One Thing Leads to Another
RHCP - Funky Monks, Mellowship Slinky in B Major, Sir Psycho Sexy, Purple Stain, Aeroplane

Some Groovin' Songs

"Groovin'" - The Young Rascals
"Draggin' the Line" - Tommy James and the Shondells
"You Get What You Give" - The New Radicals
"High" - The Lighthouse Family

shred_head & K-Wise were getting there with Superstition, personally i think this track is a touch more groovin...

Boogie On Reggae Woman - Stevie Wonder

Some great suggestions so far. I'd like to add:
"Always On The Run" by Lenny Kravitz

That new Del the Funky Homosapien cut "Funk Em" makes my head bop something silly.

Now that I think about it, pretty much anything up-tempo by Stevie Wonder qualifies as Groovin'. "Sir Duke" is the one that springs to mind at the moment.

The Temptations, when they were psychedelic ("Papa Was A Rolling Stone", "Ball of Confusion", etc.).

Talking Heads, especially their Remain in Light album. Talking Heads always makes me move. Try the songs "Houses in Motion" and "Crosseyes and Painless".

Blondie, try their song "Rapture."

Morphine is really "groovy." Try the songs "Super Sex", "Have a Lucky Day," "Top Floor, Bottom Buzzer," and "A Good Woman is Hard to Find."

What about Girlfriend Is Better? I love that damn song haha and the video? Classic!

Asta!!

El Ron by Soulive

Franz Ferdinand--Take Me Out
Scissor Sisters--Laura
anything by Moloko
Scissor Sisters--Take Your Mama...well, anything by Scissor Sisters
Hot Chocolate--I Believe In Miracles
Donna Summer--Hot Stuff
anything off of Ry Cooder's Mambo Sinuendo album

The Counting Crows - Omaha :D

Asta!!

Awesome choice... :thumbsup:

Rufus - Tell Me Somethin Good

hot stevie groove i'd suggest Higher Ground, that thing makes you move hard.

Since groove is a big word I would suggest listening to Stevie Wonder a lot like suggested. Some great Hendrix tunes with killer feel like Fire or Vodoo Child (Slight return)

Some Rappers put out just sick beats that make your head go. Most of anything off Doggie style by Snoop. DMX puts out some explosive grooves. Not exactly what the original poster listens to but they're hot feels.

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei

HAHAHAHA...yes!

Domo Arigato, Senor Roboto. The Numanuma song it teh ROXXOR.

Surprisingly enough, that is in my current Excercise mix with William Shatner and Ben Folds cover of Pulp's "Common People". Whoda thunk the Kirkman had it in him. He actually rocks on this one. I was immensely impressed (though he still can sing for shit.)

I can't believe I forgot about Talking Heads. KWise is right about "Girlfriend is Better", but "Slippery People", "Burnin' Down the House", "Life During Wartime", "Lifetime Piling Up", "Psycho Killer", "Mr. Jones", They are all in the groove.

Blondie should never have attempted rap. Is there a good groove to the song? Sure, but that godawful rap at the end of it. Feh! It's like it was written by Dennis DeYoung or Yanni or someone whiter than the Winter Brothers.

What wrong with aliens eating cars? Maybe its a cocaine thing. Okay, the rap is dumb, but the beginning of the song is groovin.

Haha and Fab 5 Freddy playin a mime in the video is cool too.

Asta!!

Michael Franti and Spearhead - What I Be

That would have to be the most groovin' song I know (that hasn't been mentioned yet)

Thicke - When I Get You Alone (hard to believe this guy is Alan Thicke's son haha) Well I like the song..makes me wanna dance.

Asta!!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only huge Talking Heads fan out there...
But, in addition to the great songs already mentioned, I'd like to add:
"Like a Feather" by Nikka Costa

Just love that groove.

Lets see how much grief I get from this list...

Good Groving Songs...

Pawn Shop - Sublime
Low Rider - Cypress Hill version
Red Light Green Light - Limp Bizkit and Snoop Dogg
Caroline - Outkast
Dance Little Sister - Terance Trent D'Arby
Darlin Nikki - Prince

just to name a few......

Ohhh yea almost forgot one of the best of all time...

Been Caught Stealin - Janes Addiction.

Mirror in the Bathroom - English Beat
Just like Heaven - The Cure

Of course Brick House is the sleaziest grooviest song ever. I wouldn't say porniest ever, but definately second porniest, beaten only by Mr Bungle's "The Girls of Porn" cos its actually about porno...
Muse's "The Groove" gets special credit. Its pretty groovy.

Atomic Dog - George Clinton

No one's mentioned any GNR?
There's also Black Crowes - Hard To Handle
Georgia Satellites - Keep your hands to yourself

It really depends on your crowd.
Country Grammar, Big Pimpin', Nasty Dancer... all classics also

Bob Marley's "Rainbow Country" remixed with Funkstar Deluxe.

Holy Crap, its groovin.

And most anything by Faithless (We Come One; Insomnia; Reverence; Miss You Less, See You More...and on and on...)

Oh, and Morcheeba's "Shallow End" and "Dyslexic Pornstar Who Funked in Her Space"

And one more Faithless "She's my Baby"

And Thievery Corporation
