Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove — a statement that can be taken figuratively, literally and symbolically that teaches the lesson that sometimes simplicity is profundity.
Used symbolically or metaphorically it can apply to people who let Tantric Sex get in the way of good fucking. Never let the “lyrics” get in the way of the “groove”.
Used literally it can refer to a lesson learned by Allee Willis when she co-wrote the song September with Maurice White.
White insisted on using the filler lyric “Ba-dee-ya” in the context of the finished song; and Allee Willis strongly disagreed with this choice and asked:
“What the fuck does “Ba-dee-ya” mean?”
To which Maurice White replied:
“What The fuck does it matter. Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.”
The song was a smash hit.
Figuratively it can be used to mean “less is more”.
Teenager learning to cook doing waaaaaaaay too much:
I’m gonna make a gourmet hamburger with sausage and beef topped with goat cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard, Ketchup, and Vidalia onion.
Friend hungry and ready to eat now:
DUDE! Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove!!!! Just make us a couple of burgers.
Husband:
First we are going to do eye gazing; then we are going to give each other oil massages. After that we are going to place our right hands on each other’s hearts while chanting a pleasure mantra. Next, we are going to…
Wife interrupts:
Never let the lyrics get in the way of the groove.

Never Gonna Give You Up Lyrics
Never Gonna Give You Up
Rick Astley
Never Gonna Give You Up Lyrics
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you (Repeat 2x)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you(Repeat 2x)
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye

A phrase uttered when a rich and/or famous black person does or says something so stupid that it can be viewed as an embarrassment to the entire race. Can range from a ridiculous comment to a stupid action, or anything that helps to further the stereotypes against blacks. Often puts even-keeled blacks in the tough spot of hating some of their own, while simultaneously keeping YT in his place. If these people were not rich and famous, they would be able to exist in obscurity as the idiots that they are, drawing very little attention to themselves except for when they inevitably end up on the local 10:00 news over some dumb shit.
Taken from the Rick James episode of Chapelle's Show. Rappers and pro athletes are the most common targets of this remark. Watch 106 and Park or any major celebrity event on BET, and you'll be saying this quite a bit.
