Help me find this song

I have been trying to figure out what song I am thinking of for months, I have a very strong memory of driving along with my Grandad who was generally quite a quiet and serious man one day suddenly singing along to every word of an 80s/90s dance/RnB style song. He knew every single word and I nearly died laughing.
I can hear the tune in my head but the only words I can remember where along the lines of move to the groove/beat/who knows... I remember it had quite a high section because he did that in a funny voice and potentially a bit of rap/very fast singing. It was a man singing the song and it has similar vibes to salt n pepper push it.

There’s something on the tip of my tongue but I can’t grab it!! I’ll keep thinking. What a fabulous memory for you to have though 😊

Is it 'Everybody Dance Now'?

Offwhite · 23/02/2023 06:52

That’s what I was trying to recall @WinterMusings !

Ice ice baby?

Or canned heat by Jamiroquai? I don't know if that has a rap but it's what the words you can remember made me think of.

Try "Move Your Feet To The Rhythm of The Beat" it's more dance than R&B but worth a punt. Male singer.

Morghulis · 23/02/2023 07:42

Not quite r&b but Let’s Groove by Earth Wind and Fire?

@Offwhite @WinterMusings I can't believe you got it in one! that is the song, for some reason my brain had added in a to between the move and the groove and I remembered the entire song being sung by a man but that was definitely the rap bit!
Thankyou! now having a good smile at the memory of my then 70 year old grandad surprising me by knowing every single word!
He is now nearing 80 and has dementia, might play him the song next time I visit and see if he still enjoys it.

@earwormyy

Brilliant.

it has been covered by a few people, so if you look it up, you might find the version you're thinking of.

I hope your Grandad enjoys hearing it again!!
