-Grooves can't be copyrighted. -Hundreds of songs have "Woo!" in them. It's not a lyric and wouldn't be on the sheet music. -You can't sue for production similarities unless the recordings are exactly the same. Just ask Timbaland. Heck, ask Norman Whitfield when he did it to Sly and G. Clinton. -You can't sue because both songs have high-pitched vocals.
EMI Music owns the copyright to "Got to Give It Up". Ask them if they want to sue.
