1. #1 sure fire get them on the dance floor son for DJ's. Funny story

Using a chord progression written by Earth, Wind & Fire guitarist Al McKay, vocalist Maurice White and songwriter Allee Willis wrote the song over one month. Willis was initially bothered by the gibberish "ba-dee-ya" lyric White used through the song, and begged him to rewrite it: "I just said, 'What the fuck does 'ba-dee-ya' mean?' And he essentially said, 'Who the fuck cares?' I learned my greatest lesson ever in songwriting from him, which was never let the lyric get in the way of the groove."[

5. Before even reading your comment, I noticed how committed the singers were to "ba-dee-ya"

Interesting that there had been some debate on that lyric!
