For the rest of you, it is time to celebrate September 21, Earth Wind & Fire Day. (Afrofuturist attire is optional.)

You can read a little about the genesis of the song here.

“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.”

And songwriter Allee Willis.

And costume designer Louis Wells.

Happy September 21st. May you never let a lyric get in the way of your groove.
