Song goes something like "babbbyyy letsss groooveee"
Name that song. It sounds very 70s-ish, like the Staples Singers, but not them.
Lyrics are something like "baby lets groooveee, awayyyy" or "baby lets mooveee, awayyyy".
Anybody?

It's Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'." Later covered by Huey Lewis and Gwyneth Paltrow, as a duet. Yes, I knew that last bit off of the top of my head.

I think you're thinking of Smokey Robinson's "Cruising".

Covered by Huey Lewis and Gwenyth Paltrow as a duet, in the movie "DUETS." A karaoke favorite by pretentious couples who practice the parts a lot in advance.

Yep, Cruisin'. Is it wrong that I really like the Gwyneth Paltrow version?

Clarification: my love of the lame music in that movie should not be read as an endorsement of the movie itself; it was awful.

You guys should check out the D'Angelo cover of this song. It's awesome.

+1 to PercussivePaul's statement. D'Angelo's cover is smooth.

or Deee-Lite - Groove is in the Heart?
Those sites might have pop-ups. I can't tell because FF turns them off.
