"THE GROOVE LINE" LYRICS
Pack your grip, takin' you on a trip
Ain't no seats, all we got's dancin' feet
Leave your worries behind
'Cause rain shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh
Catch this train know you'll be glad you came
Hit the track party hard there and back
Leave your worries behind
'Cause rain shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh
Check out the wheels a turnin'
You know we won't stop
We got this boiler burnin'
We're keepin' it hot
So grab your friends, get the train comin' thru
Climb on board, where you leave's up to you
Leave your worries behind
'Cause rain shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
Ooh ooh

Leave your worries behind
'Cause rain shine don't mind

Leave your worries behind
'Cause rain shine won't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
Ooh Ooh
We can ride
Rain shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (repeat and fade).
SONG/VIDEO NOTES
This extended mix features keyboard whiz Rod Temperton on an expanded instrumental section. Harmoniously, you can hear Eric John's beautiful rhythm guitar chords in this section. Music to the ears.
Technically, “The Groove Line” is classified as a disco song. However, its sophisticated R&B funk sound sets it apart from most of the ubiquitous, redundant disco music of the late 70s. Instead of a dreamy jazzy intro like "Boogie Nights", Rod Temperton's genius chord progression is utterly apparent as the song begins with a synth intro that pulsates on the eighths, like a freight train in motion chugging along. I love the intro - so much so that I extended that pulsating synth then added four crash cymbal rolls before moving to the sizzling hi-hats. I also added an 808 sine wave roll-off on the first 3 kick drum hits that sounds great with subwoofers. Turn it up and wake the neighbors!
At the time, synthesizers were new and really evolving - being integrated more and more into popular music with complex arrangements using multiple keyboards. The beauty of Rod’s synth melodies and the spirited complementary vocal harmonies of the Wilder brothers was unmatched. Keith sang with an aggressively masculine edge, while Johnnie had a feather-light smooth touch. He just looks so happy when he sings! Johnnie's falsetto reigns throughout the song, handling tricky chord changes during the chorus with ease.
The drummer, Ernest "Bilbo" Berger, an underrated Jazz/Blues drummer from Czechoslovakia, is one that I list as one of my most influential funk drummers of the 70s. Here he executes a sixteenth note/semi-quaver pattern on the hi-hat that keeps the song grooving. On the chorus he switches to a swing-ish 'double-tap' quarter note close/open hi-hat pattern, that I play with my left hand (open, not crossed). His 1977 Ludwig Vistalite concert toms, perfectly tuned to the notes of the song, were bright and punchy. Barry Blue did a superb job of recording the drum track and mixing them prominently up front in the mix. I tried my best to do justice and match that tom and overall sound in this video.

How many of you have watched this video at least over 20 times? I'm guilty. The drums just sound so damn good.
I watched it a million time .. figure of speech
🙋♀️
It gave me the Funky chills !!
Me
Yup his drums are like xylophones !!
I'm 44 years old and the first song I ever danced to was Boogie Nights by HeatWave. But on another level...I never thought in a million years that somebody would actually do Groove Line this precise. Your drum skills are amazing.
Thank you, Wesley! Been playing this song on drums since it came out.
zerodefectmachine Ummm... that seems impossible! You look MUCH younger than this song. ✨
Should of been the Biggest Band in The World. Sir Rod and The Boys- We salute You.
if you're old enough to remember roller skating, these songs were the shit!!!!!
This guy is one hell of a drummer❤❤❤
Now that's what I call a true professional drummer this dude can get down
Trust me, dude IS Pro
Brother man holding it down on the drums
No chit
I really love that song, I remember it the first time around! I'm a 74 year old female drummer.
I can't imagine the discipline that goes into drumming.
Musical instruments are hard. You really have top put time and dedication on i for years along.
Never seen a drummer before playing the drums wearing a back-to-front baseball cap, a pair of wraparound sunglasses, gloves and flip flops ! This is an highly impressive drum cover, superb rhythm and timing. to keep this tempo up for nearly eight minutes requires concentration and discipline !
Thanks!
I keep coming back to appreciate and get lifted regularly. ❤️
Alan does one helluva job playing the drums. I never get tired of this tune. We played this song in high school band. Man, we were good.
Nice!
This Dude ROCKS!!
Mr rod smiling and heatwave
heatwave probably the most underrated band of the 70s
Without doubt.
I’ve watched this at least 30 x over the years. So damned good!
Same here, sir. The camera work is perfect, showing this gentleman in full action!!
Thank you!
The classics never get old
He killed this!
Okay I saw this video six months ago....I use to play a sax growing up! I’m 50 years old I have been taking drum lessons for 6 months I’m killing it! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
That's awesome, Michelle! Perseverance of a passion in life is very fulfilling - at any age! Keep it up!
Middle aged, as well. Started lessons two years ago. My life has improved so much.
My smile says I'm overjoyed when I hear the sound of that many drums in one song~Thank You Alan Badia!
I just don't get tired watching him. I think I'm in love with this guy. ❤️
AWESOME!
Fuck im 60 and have this on my headphones Ive watched this over 50/60 times you are badass!
so good x love it
i am 62
Rod Temperton produced the hell out of this song.
Who else is back for the 899th time? 🥁
He's not bad on a straight-line bicycle tide, either.
Sorry; bicycle RIDE
Me. This is one of my favorite songs. Love the instruments.
2024 had to come back, excellent job sir!
I know nothing about drumming. But this is one of my very favourite songs, and this man is a stone cold killer imho on this track. I keep coming back. So well done.
Thank you, it is a great song.
Listen to this at least once a day..Never get tired of listening to and watching this!
Thanks Gregg.
Love, love, love this music. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Fucking Quality. I can't stop coming back to this. Skills my friend of the highest order. Found this American 12inchversion on vinyl recently for only 20 odd quid. One of the best Tunesof all time.
Great drummer good memories and one hell of a song !!!!
Thanks Pam! Great memories here too.
I'm a repeat offender in that I keep coming back to this song, and how this drummer has absolutely elevated one of the very best songs of an era. The original band was fantastic, and still is. Mr. Badia has just killed it with such a incredible tune. Huge respect to Heatwave, and this man.
Repeat offender here too very talented drummer love watching him play. I remember rollerskating to this song in the early 80’s. Awesome!
YES HE IS KILLING IT I SPOKE TO HIM ON YOU TUBE HE'S A GOOD BROTHER AND TALENTED ✊🙏👊✌️...
Who is he?
Smoke a bowl and enjoy this
He's so talented, God rest his soul. He can rock in flip flops and never miss a beat 🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤❤

Hey, I'm 59. Right there with ya.
Me, 63. Those were the best days and some of the best music. This is my favorite disco song followed by a couple of EW&F songs, Lets Groove Tonight and Serpentine Fire and many more.

@@AuntieNina68 yeah I still keep coming back to it! Gives me such a buzz!! Such an excellent performance .
Thank you!
Thx you for sharing this ! great time and great memories ! when music was real and sounds were amazing !
Bilbo's signature groove!! Irrefutable proof that electronic drums will never lock up the pocket like the skins!
MANNNNNN, I was jumping around like a rabid bunny rabbit the entire time I was looking and listening to you attack those drums!!!!! I am a MAJOR funk disco lover from the late 70's and GROOVE LINE was my absolute FAVORITE song - SOOOO POWERFUL!!! Buddy, I'm here to tell you that you SLEW that jam up song with those drums!!!! Had the biggest smile on my face and screaming the whole time until the end. My throat is sore!!!! JAMMMMMM UUUUUUUP!!!!! 🏆👍🏆👍🏆👍🏆👍🏆👍🏆
Thank you!
One of the all time Great songs!!!!!
Yes, it sure is Ben!
Dammmm i love this song👍🇮🇹
(High) Hats off to you! VERY artfully and tastefully done with Heatwave video interspersed throughout.
I remember rushing out to buy the 12" version ON VINYL in the '70s.
If you're still making videos may I request that you cover "One Night Tan?"
Bilbo did to INCREDIBLE percussion on that underrated tune.
Thanks for sharing your talent and passion...looking forward to more.
Staying tuned...
AWE!!!HERE WEEE GOOO!!!✊🏿
Thanks, Thomas!

Simply awesome...it’s pure entertainment to watch someone have such a good time playing groove line.
This dude is bad ass!!!
I’m sorry for that y’all don’t know how much this of the chart.This is on some other level. He should be in the Hall OF FAME OR WHEN A GRAMMY FOR THIS LETS BE REAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You owned it!
We did it! 5 MILLION views! Thank you to EVERYONE over the years for your support of this great song and keeping Heatwave alive and well. Cheers!
Hey there, you are really an awesome person of talent. Watching you play took me back to junior high 77-79 when I learned to play clarinet in the band and continued til 11th grade. There was a kid named Jimmie Morris learning to play the drums and all my other classmates learning to play their instruments as well. It seemed as though I was learning each instrument as they learned theirs like the different positions of the trombone, the valves of the trumpet, french horn and tuba, keys of the flute which my sister played. I have great memories of my wonderful band teacher Mr Raymond Settle and I can still remember all the names of my classmates and the instruments they played. Just watching you play took me to one of the few good parts of my childhood cause I got pregnant at 15 and after that all I could do was survive for me and my baby,graduate high school in 1982 and then college in 1992. Thank you for this . PLEASE BE A PART OF MY LIFE and respond.
U made it look so easy and a whole lotta fun. Thanks, I would have paid $50 to see it live!
Dude you're the reason I come on here! Bad Ass Man. I could imagine you playing instead of the real drummer man! No disrespect to the ogs that played the drums for these songs, but you're that good!
I think I've listened to it about 50.
Congrats and cheers!! 😎
Loved the attention to detail, most would never pick up on the nuances on the hi-hats - very good, very tight - and that's alright!
Man this music brings back slot of good memories wish I could go back in time hell ya
Noce set, straight on point. You represent a time, talent and art when drummers were really drumming.
@Bobby Royal, your right he represent a time of talent and art.

I grew up near Overbrook HS and attended that carnival each summer. The late great Georgie Woods helped sponsor it. That was the place to be. 👍🏾
