Groove Doctor

108 BPM, 4/4, E minor, tight classic party funk, Syncopated drums with a crisp ghost-note snare and open hat lifts, a popping slap bass playing a busy sixteenth-note groove, scratchy wah-wah rhythm guitar, a punchy horn section of trumpet, tenor sax and trombone hitting tight stabs, a clavinet riff, a warm Rhodes in the bridge, Vocal: one male lead vocalist, 30s, smooth playful funk voice with swagger, rhythmic and sung, every word clear, female backing singers answering on the hook, Mix: dry punchy seventies funk sound, bass loud and round, horns bright, Arrangement: horn stab intro into the full groove, first verse, sung chorus with backing singers and horns, second verse, chorus, bridge breakdown on bass and drums with the band dropping out, horns return for the final chorus, outro vamp ending on a big horn hit, Keep it fun, groovy and happy, No woo, no whoo, no woo-hoo, no whoops, no ad-libs, no shouts, no gang chants, no crowd noise, no screaming, No rap, no living-artist names, ‑woo, ‑whoo, ‑woo-hoo, ‑whoops, ‑yeehaw, ‑ad-libs, ‑shouts, ‑crowd noise, ‑gang chants, ‑screaming, ‑rap, ‑EDM drops, ‑trap beats, ‑living-artist names

[Intro] [horn stabs, slap bass groove] [Verse 1] [Vocal 1] [Male] [smooth, playful swagger] Whole town's feeling low and the sky is grey Everybody's working with no time to play Then a van pulls up with a horn on the side Says the Groove Doctor's here, come on inside Got a bag full of basslines, a box full of beats Got a pill for your feet and a cure for the heat Step right up if your Monday's been long I'll fix you up with a funky song [Chorus] [Male] [hook, female backing singers answer] Call the groove doctor, he's got what you need One dose of the funk and your soul is freed Shake your hips and let the trouble go Doctor's orders, move it nice and slow Feeling bad? Get on the floor Call the groove doctor [Verse 2] [Male] [smooth, playful swagger] Mrs Jones had a backache for a week Now she's doing the splits, she can hardly speak Mister Brown lost his job down the line Now he's dancing like he's doing just fine No needle, no waiting room, no bill to pay Just the bassline taking all your blues away Prescription's simple and it's always the same Move your body and forget your pain [Chorus] [Male] [hook, female backing singers answer] Call the groove doctor, he's got what you need One dose of the funk and your soul is freed Shake your hips and let the trouble go Doctor's orders, move it nice and slow Feeling bad? Get on the floor Call the groove doctor [Bridge] [Male] [bass and drums only, low] Doctor's in the house tonight Every little thing's gonna be alright [Chorus] [Male] [hook, female backing singers answer] Call the groove doctor, he's got what you need One dose of the funk and your soul is freed Shake your hips and let the trouble go Doctor's orders, move it nice and slow Feeling bad? Get on the floor Call the groove doctor [Outro] [Male] [last line, smiling] Groove doctor Get well soon [big horn hit]
