Groove is in the Heart (of it All)

There are few better places to spend a Thursday night in Columbus, Ohio than at Skully's Music Diner's Alternative Ladies Eighties Night. You'll find children of the eighties, like myself, dancing along with wannabe children of the eighties (think born in the 90s or tail-end of 80s) with a couple of transvestites thrown in for fun. While I'm always pleased to hear my favorite British artists like The Clash, Billy Idol, Psychedelic Furs, Depeche Mode, New Order and The Smiths being played by the DJ, there are few songs that make me shake my moneymaker, with or without an input of alcohol, like Deee-Lite's Groove is in the Heart. Dee-Lite's funky vixen Lady Miss Kier, the revamped 60s-style psychedelic charteuse that came to personify New York City's early 90s club culture was, wait for it......electronic drum-roll and cowbell.......born in Youngstown, OH.
