"He's the Groove" is a 1980 novelty song by Snuky Tate, the stage persona[1] of American funk and punk rock musician Lionel White.
At the time of its release, during the 1980 papal visit to the United States, a music video was created featuring White and his backing band performing the song, while archive footage of Pope John Paul II's public appearances intercuts the images.
When Frank Zappa was a guest in Dr. Demento's radio show he played this song as part of his DJ set.
He told the host that he had met Snuky in New York City.
[3] Another fan of the song is James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco.
