Simple, melodic pop rock about a professional... dancer.
Artist picture
It's Pop. It's Rock. It's Punk. It's Groovy.
Every band likes to think their music defies categorizing, while at the same time usually realizing that to be unique is to invite commercial failure. The Oozing Grooves solves that dilemma by taking a samurai philosophy towards music: commercial failure is inevitable, so why not just enjoy the act of creation and write what you want? The resultant blend of new millennium pop punk and 80s synth-pop rock features thick vocal harmonies layered over simple bar chords in an arrangement several listeners -- including a couple of industry insiders -- have called a blend between Green Day and the Beach Boys.

Story behind the song
"I'm going to write a song about you," I told the drop-dead gorgeous Italian girl in the dark Dublin club. Yeah, like THAT line ever works.
Lyrics
A certain kind of club downtown Near the city college Where lots of angels can be found Studying carnal knowledge I saw her standing like a flower In a junkyard Her eyes lit up the room like candlelight She said her English might sound funny Cuz she was raised in Rome Guess even goddesses need money When they're far from home And so she turned to me and smiled Lightning struck my chair She leaned in close and told me Her REAL name... Claudia, Claudia Lovely latin dancer Turn and spin and toss your hair Your eyes hold all the answers When you're dancing is it me you're thinking of? Or some other boy more worthy of your love? She's learned to dance when she was five She'd even won some contests It used to make her feel alive Now dancing's just a job she detests She took my hand and said that she'd take Me to paradise Oh, cara mia, dance with me tonight Claudia, Claudia Lovely latin dancer Wrap your arms around my neck My heart starts beating faster Is it really me that you are thinking of? Because when we dance It feels like making love Portami a paradiso Portami a paradiso Portami, Portami A paradiso Claudia, Claudia Claudia, Claudia When you're dancing, is it me you're thinking of? When you're dancing, is it me you're thinking of? Well, when you're dancing, think of me tonight.
