Indeep was a 1980s New York-based R&B/New Wave group, best known for its post-disco song "Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life."
The group was led by its songwriter-musician Michael Cleveland, and it was known for employing a strong disco-esque bass line and early hip hop lyrics backed by two female singers: Réjane Magloire and Rose Marie Ramsey.
"Last Night a D.J. Saved My Life" was released on Sound of New York/Becket Records (SNY-5102) in 1982 and peaked in early 1983, reaching the top 10 in the US R&B and #2 in the US Club as well as the Top 15 in the UK, and was certified for Gold-level sales in France. The follow-up single, "When Boys Talk," did not do nearly as well on either side of the Atlantic, which, combined with its limited later success, put the group into the one-hit wonders category. Vocalist Magloire later enjoyed some success with the Belgian techno-house outfit Technotronic. "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" was later covered by Mariah Carey on her 2001 album Glitter, and it reached #25 in Spain. In the 90s, Michael did not perform as Indeep besides a 1997 New Year's show on TF1 French TV. In 2011, Peter A. Mercury who published, managed, produced and toured with lots of top artists for many years convinced Michael Cleveland to re-form the band. Magloire and Ramsey were replaced by Beckie Bell and WiX.
you know that you haven't changed a bit
You keep talking that same old know it hurt
Lipstick on your shirt
Cause it wasn't mine
said it wasn't mine.
I gave you all my trust and now it's turned to dust.
You were my boyfriend
I said my boyfriend
You were seen with other girls
cute pony tails and curl.
what's their names
I want to know their names.
I keep falling upon your line
love can really make you blind.
Will it ever change
nothing ever changes.
The record keeps spinning baby
round and round
Don't you know it's just the same old sound
yeah

The record keeps spinning

You took my cadillac and never brought it back
Now that's not right
said that's not right.
you've gone too far
you've got girls in my car.
You're driving me crazy
I said crazy
And oh
how you lied and oh how I cried
All through the night
all through the night.
Should've known you'd be the same I guess
I'm the one to blame
Will it ever change
nothing ever changes.
The record keeps spinning
