speaking of "Behind The Groove",I have a silly question about it....something I've been wondering about for years lol

In the song,she makes several references to "Xanadu".Is she referring to the movie which came out around the same time (late 1980)? Was "Behind The Groove" possibly written for the film? Was it rejected? What's the connection? Or is Teena talking about something different altogether?


I don't know but The Jacksons also used the word "Xanadu" the same year in their song "Lovely One". You have to listen inbetween the lyrics:

Why don't you believe me when I say that I am true
I'm crazy 'bout you
I'm here to love and please you, I'll do what you want me to
I'm all about you
Living and hoping, but I'm coping
With these things you put me through
That's all I do
(It's all I do, it's Xanadu, it's all I...do)
The way that I can't sleep at night
Just proves what I go through
I'm crazy 'bout you

Now the first time that I saw you walking down the street so pretty,
Gone with your bad self
Now you say that I don't love, when it's giving my love pains
It's the hurt and the tension
Girl, it's driving me insane

You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one
