[Chorus]
Everybody move your body, now do it
Here is something that's gonna make you move and groove
Hey D.J. keep playing that song, all night
On and on and on
Everybody move your body, now do it
Here is something that's gonna make you move and groove
Hey D.J. keep playing that song, all night
On and on and on

[Verse 1]
It's Friday night and the weekend's here
I need to unwind, where's the party, Mr. D.J
I am ready to call my friends
So we could all get down
Where's the party, hey Mr. D.J

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey Mr. D.J (You can get this started)
Everybody's ready to party (All night, all night)
All the girls are ready (So we can all get to it)
So we can party 'till the break of dawn, oh

[Chorus]
Everybody move your body, now do it
Here is something that's gonna make you move and groove
Hey D.J. keep playing that song, all night
On and on and on
Everybody move your body, now do it
Here is something that's gonna make you move and groove
Hey D.J. keep playing that song, all night
On and on and on

[Verse 2]
It's Friday night and the weekend's here
I need to unwind, where's the party, Mr. D.J
I am ready to call my friends
So we could all get down
Where's the party, hey Mr. D.J

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey Mr. D.J (You can get this started)
Everybody's ready to party (All night, all night)
All the girls are ready (So we can all get to it)
So we can party 'till the break of dawn, oh

[Verse 3: Fam]
Once again, it's on, yo Zhane blow the horn
Let the D.J. know to keep playing your song
Maybe I'll browse, snatch up the blouse
Rip the foul, ho
And get rub-a-dub style
'Cause your body won't move
If it can't feel the groove
So can't boogie, have to show and prove
Hey, now I'm feeling the vibe
Rolling with the flavor
Feeling alright
Ho, yo, there's a party over here
Yo, oh no, the party's over there
Call up your friends, let 'em know
Fam's tagging along
Hey D.J. keep playing that song

Everybody move your body, now do it

[Chorus]
Everybody move your body, now do it
Here is something that's gonna make you move and groove
Hey D.J. keep playing that song, all night
On and on and on
Everybody move your body, now do it
Here is something that's gonna make you move and groove
Hey D.J. keep playing that song, all night
On and on and on

Zhané

Zhané was a ‘90s R&B group consisting of Jean Norris and Renee Neufville. The two met while they attended Temple University. After working with DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince in 1991 on their track “Ring My Bell,” they were persuaded to become a group. They came up with the name Zhané as a combination of their first names Jean and Renee with the French accent on Jean and using a “Z” to stand out. With some help from Naughty By Nature producer Kay Gee, they released their debut album Pronounced Jah-Nay in 1994 featuring the Top 40 singles “Hey Mr. D.J.,” “Groove Thang,” and “Sending My Love.” The album went Platinum as it peaked at #37 on the Billboard 200 and #8 on the R&B Albums chart.

After appearing on songs for Busta Rhymes (“It’s a Party”) and De La Soul (“4 More”) in 1996, the duo released their second album Saturday Night in 1997. This album yielded the singles “Request Line” and “Crush” but the album ended up being the last from the group. One of their last collaborations was on the hook for Naughty By Nature’s hit single “Jamboree” in 1999.
