A date going well and about to go stratospheric through the chance encounter with a perfect dance party. Then the dj changes...

lyrics

DROP THE GROOVE

Walking up Sola with a gal; it's a first date going well.
Passing by a house, sounding so good, mm mm, we could tell.
Inside was jumping. The music pumping. In for some P-Funking.
Madam DJ, Madam DJ, just one thing!
Please do not drop the groove.

Stepping inside, Motown cruising, Mustang Sally, so nice.
Courting with Sir Duke, Stevie Wonder-land, it's a JB paradise.
The place was popping, the date was hopping. Just ain't no stopping.
Madam DJ, Madam DJ, it's Cupid time.
Please do not drop the groove.

30 minutes later, the dj changes. It's somebody new.
Puts on the folky vinyl, cutting edge 19 hundred 62?
There was pining, there was whining. Shenandoa-what?!?
Mr. DJ, Mr. DJ, just one thing
And you chose to drop the groove???

There it was!
Red lights flashing, the dance party police, their sirens we heard.
A needle goes scratch, a dj in cuffs, hell ya, how we cheered.
Got back to moving and grooving. Got the Stax a-playing.
Madam DJ, Mr. DJ, it's the law.
You do not drop the groove.

For the record, everyone affiliated with this track LOVES the song Shenandoah. But, there's a time and place for everything.

And the Sola Street we are thinking about is in Santa Barbara, California.
