[Intro: extended instrumental groove — drums, tambourine, bass, light guitar chop, 20–30 seconds] [Verse 1] Shop around the dial, the sound is new, Four-part harmony cutting through, Motor City heart with a pocket so clean, The kids on the floor know what it means... [Pre-Chorus] Feel the frequency rising... [Chorus] Hitsville frequency, love on the air, Reach out, I’ll be there, Dancing in the street under summer light, Soul in the wire, everything’s uptight—alright! [Instrumental Break: full Motown band groove with light ska guitar, horns answering, 20–30 seconds] [Verse 2] A little rocksteady under the beat, Kingston whisper in the Detroit heat, Same desire, different shore, The rhythm keeps opening one more door... [Pre-Chorus] Feel the frequency rising... [Chorus] Hitsville frequency, love on the air, Reach out, I’ll be there, Dancing in the street under summer light, Soul in the wire, everything’s uptight—alright! [Bridge: softer stacked harmonies, slight off-beat guitar, building back] [Chorus – bigger] Hitsville frequency, love on the air, Reach out, I’ll be there, Dancing in the street under summer light, Soul in the wire, everything’s uptight—alright! [Outro: extended groove with call-and-response ad-libs and fading harmonies]
