INTO THE GROOVE

Lyrics

And you can dance
For inspiration
Come on
I'm waiting

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Music can be such a revelation
Dancing around you feel the sweet sensation
We might be lovers if the rhythm's right
I hope this feeling never ends tonight

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Gonna get to know you in a special way
This doesn't happen to me every day
Don't try to hide it, love wears no disguise
I see the fire burning in your eyes

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be, yeah

Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body, and move in time
Now I know you're mine

You've got to
Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Only when I'm dancing can I feel this free
At night I lock the doors, where no one else can see
I'm tired of dancing here all by myself
Tonight I wanna dance with someone else

Live out your fantasy here with me
Just let the music set you free
Touch my body, and move in time
Now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine
Now I know you're mine

You've got to
Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

You've got to
Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

You've got to
Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me, yeah
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

You've got to
Get into the groove
Boy you've got to prove
Your love to me
Get up on your feet, yeah
Step to the beat
Boy what will it be

Single

Madonna wrote this song for Desperately Seeking Susan, her first successful movie. At first it wasn't included in Like A Virgin, neither was it released as a single. In the US it was a B-single of Angel, but turned out a much bigger success than the single itself. But since it wasn't commercially released in the US, it didn't enter the charts there. The song was included in the re-issue of the Like A Virgin album in Europe, where it was released as a single in July 1985. Strangely, the soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan didn't contain the song. It topped the charts in the UK for 4 weeks and in Japan for 3 weeks. It was also Madonna's first #1 hit in Belgium.

Video

The video that accompanied the single consisted of images from the movie Desperately Seeking Susan, directed by Susan Seidelman.

Tour

You can dance, you can dance if you want to. This catchy tune got its premiere on the Virgin Tour and was also used as final song on the Who's That Girl Tour (before the encores). Since the show is almost over, Madonna gives her all (as always). During a long instrumental interlude, she and her dancers and backup singers dance from one side of the stage to the other, showing their grooves.

On the Blond Ambition Tour, Madonna, Niki and Donna are being seduced by 3 macho guys in leather jackets. The girls ask them to "prove their love to them" and wonder if they'd wear a rubber when necessary. They kick into the Shep Pettibone extended remix of Into The Groove with some groovy dance steps two by two.

Into The Groove was an absolute highlight on the Re-Invention Tour. First there was a fabulous intro by a Scottish bagpiper & drummers. Then all dancers appeared on stage in kilts, dancing to the beats of the Into The Hollywood Groove mix. Madonna literally jumped out on stage and kicked into this fantastic choreography with wooden sticks. On the screen Missy Elliott accompanied her with cool beats. Finally, the bagpiper re-appeared on stage to follow Madonna's dance steps. There was so much energy during this performance that the whole venue was really getting into the groove!
