Solved: Hip Hop, move your body...

...or it could have been 'grove your body.' Track was played in UK clubs in '91/92. Was played regularly at Venus nightclub in Nottingham at the time.

I'm ignorant of what terminology to use when trying to describe the tune, but at the start, it sounded like a synth piano being played with just a single finger. Just remembered the tune the other day and net research suggests it may be 'Move your Body' by Marshall Jefferson. If anyone has heard this track could they confirm if the lyrics in it are anything like those described in the subject of this posting.

Cheers, Shreddie.

"Hip Hop" by Cuevas Chris

Hip hop move your body
Hip hop groove your body

VERSE 1:
Even the score
On a crowded dance floor
You can dance your butt off
Leave them begging for more
Now's the time to settle the score
With this notion
People look better
When they're caught in motion

Never coming up for air
It's so right
Why don't you care
Don't come down off
This natural high

CHORUS:
Hip hop
Groove your body
Not with just anybody
Hiphop 'til ya drop, oh-
Hip hop, shake what ya got
Don't mean a thing
Without that swing
Hop 'til ya drop then stop

VERSE 2:
When the energy flows
The energy flos
Where it stops nobody knows
Lost in time, all alone
You're headed for
THE HIP HOP ZONE (HUH)

Never coming up for air
When the beat is there
Never failed to get control, oh-

CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
(Got a groove)
(Got a groove)

Yo Chris-my homeboy. What's up, C?
RAP:
I'm hip hoppin' on the dance floor
I'm kickin' it like never before
I'm showing everybody that I can dance
And if ya wanna join me
I'll give ya the chance

Ya gotta do it (do it)-
D-d-d-d-do it (do it)
Hip hop
Do it (do it)
D-d-d-d-do it
Yeah, come on, do it

VERSE 3:
Here's your chance
Ready or not
Come on, girls
Give what ya got
Don't you stop
'Til you get to the top-oh-

CHORUS

Vette, in late 2005 I posted a request for assistance in identifying a tune. Needless to say I soon forgot about my original post. Tonight, four years on I searched Google for the title of that same track ...and came across my original post. To my complete amazement and UTTER DELIGHT, I found your response from Feb 06 identifying the exact track and even listing the lyrics. Vette, it's been a long time coming, but can I say a MASSIVE THANKYOU for solving my quest!!! The tune was 'Hip Hop' by Chris Cuevas and here is my original post from way back in 2005!

And I've found a good YouTube link to the tune in question:

Can't thank you enough. This tune (albeit strangely garagy for my later hedonistic taste in music) really was MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE TUNE.

Thank you soooo much!

Cheers Simeon
