Back around late 1997 or early 1998 I traveled to Toronto with three or four other friends from college. Whoever was driving controlled the music and they played one song that has stuck with me ever since in spite of the fact that I only heard it the one time that day and have never heard it again since. Probably the reason it stuck with me was because for at least the rest of the school year one of the other passengers and I would constantly make fun of it to each other because of how stupid the lyrics were. Over the years I have tried to find the song by searching for the lyrics and have been unsuccessful so far. I’ve even asked both the driver and his brother who was also in the front seat and neither of them remembered it (and one of them said it sounded as stupid as I said it was). But there’s no way I could have imagined it since one of the other guys in the back seat made fun of it as much as I did. Surely someone out there has heard it and knows the name of the song and the artist. It was a black gospel song, definitely not later than 1998, and the lyrics I remember were “If you want to sit there still when the Holy Ghost starts to move that’s all right there’ll be more for me. You’re happy just to watch me dance…that’s all right there’ll be more for me. People get slain in the spirit but you’re cool and collected. That’s all right there’ll be more for me.” And the chorus I remember was “Get on up now, you gotta get busy, let the Holy Ghost lead you, move in the spirit groove in the spirit.”
