How many songs can get away with using a slide whistle? 🤣 "Groove is in the Heart" danced us into the 90's! Every dance club bumped this over & over. Deee-Lite has to be one of the craziest ensembles ever! You've got Phunkadelic Royalty, bassist, Bootsy Collins giving that sick funky groovy bass line, the beautiful, energetic Miss Lady Kier, the Japanese DJ Towa Tei, a Russian DJ named Dimitri, & Q-Tip the rapper from A Tribe Called Quest. World music for real! Even though they had several albums this was their big hit. Rico you nailed it with the Soul. This song has it all - Soul, Funk, Dance, Pop, Rap - it's just too fun!
@@terryconnelly484 Two PHENOMENAL songs!! They are on my list for Down the road!! I feel like both are made with a guitar but I could be horribly wrong. Wouldn't be the first time! 🤣🤦🏼♀️ Eddie just seems like the type to make that happen.
The members of Deee - Lite are Lady Miss Kier (singer), DJ Tei Towa (Japanese guy) and DJ Dimitri. The rapper is Q - Tip from the hip hop group the Tribe Called Quest and that's Bootsy Collins from the band George Clinton and the Phunkadelics. He said at the end of the music video "Deee - Lite has been known to smoke. On stage that is." React to their songs Power Of Love and Runaway, Deep Ending, Smile On and Bittersweet Loving please.
Bootsy Collins was part of the whole Parliament/Funkadelic P-Funk thing, but he also led his own group, called Bootsy's Rubber Band. Check out the video of them performing "I'd Rather Be With You" live.
I’ve never understood how this new, unknown band hooked up with these funk legends and a member of one of the biggest up-and-coming rap groups of the era. Bootsy and his Rubber Band even backed them up when they performed on Saturday Night Live. Anyone know how they got together?
Danced my ass off in clubs when this song was new. Still have the CD. They were an amazing collection of amazing people making amazing music and it was among the coolest “it things” of the 90s.
It hurts my heart to realize that people don't recognize the great Q-Tip in a video and know that he's from maybe the greatest rap group ever. His style and voice are so distinctive.
@@michaelasay8587 "Black guy?" That's kinda obvious. Why attach a race to it? Super odd, Michael. His name is Rico. They are only going to see this video one time. I see him really trying to take everything in as he is just learning about this type of music for the first time. Personally, I'd rather see someone stop, relisten, and share what's on his mind than someone who watches, misses things, & has nothing to say. But, that's just me. I've seen the video a hundred times. I'm here to see it through his eyes. I respect your opinion! Just sharing me. ✌🎵❤
The first time my mom saw this video, she called us all into the room to 'look at these weird people on tv'. I was enthralled. Miss Lady Kier is stunning, her energy and vibe are such that you really can't take your eyes off of her. Of course, for me, I was all about DJ Dimitri...those yellow pants and the way he dances..I was in love. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to those days when the future seemed so far away..
Now, imagine being your age back when this came out. It was playing at every club, every party, radio station, in every car. Everywhere. Everybody was dancing. And life was all about having FUN in the 80’s and 90’s. It was beautiful.
Yeah, that and AIDS, and crack, the homeless crisis, and a list of other stuff. We had a lot of fun, but it was partly because there was a whole lotta messed up stuff going on.
@@Historian212 There have always been these kinds of things - there have always been messed up human beings. The difference is that "popular culture" was still somewhat "innocent". AIDS, crack and homelessness are all the fault of human beings who cannot make a good choice for THEMSELVES and that has not changed in the history of mankind. "We didn't start the fire - it was always burning since the worlds been turning....".
This song was so fun when I was in high school. This song was everywhere around me. All my friends would play this song. This was a fun song. Never gets old.
Dee-Lite has some other great songs, but most didn't make it commercially. Their retro/soul/funk/dance/techno sound was so different when it came out...glad you found them. During the same era, a rap group that was similar (In that they too had a unique sound that blends jazz/rap/spoken). Digable Planets...you should give them a listen. "Where I'm From", and "Cool Like That" are two songs that were more commercially popular.
This song was played at every club & every party several times a night back in the day. It's a silly song that's really about nothing with a great beat & a lot of energy - It's perfect.
It's so funny that nobody can watch this and not smile the entire time. So fun. This was huge when it first came out because it was so different and so unique.
Did some stuff? He was the leader of parliament before they linked up w funkadelic also played bass for James brown… and considered the 4th best bass player… ever so far.. put some ‘spect on his name. Sir
He didn't actually play bass on this however, even though the video makes it appear so. It is, in fact, a sample from a Herbie Hancock tune called Bring Down The Birds. It is one of over 10 samples in this song
The rapper was Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest. If you don’t know them, you should check them out- any song, but I really like Scenario, which includes Busta Rhymes. For another upbeat song, I recommend Love Shack by the B-52s.
Back in highschool, at a house party full of kids who only listened to hip hop & everybody was pretending to be cooler than they really were, we'd put this song on & literally everybody would get up & start dancing straight stupid!!! Like round a hundred kids, Jocks, stoners, drunks, academics, populars & outcasts, all dancing straight stupid with the biggest corniest grins across their faces... one homie doing the robot, another doing the lawnmower, girls up on tables, that song literally let everybody's freak come out & let loose, fucking magical... 🤣🤘🔥, good times y'all, good fucking times!!!
Best dancing song EVER!! I'm NYC, former club kid & when they played this at Limelight we went batshit!!! And yes our outfits were very 60's inspired...I had so many pairs of platforms. Never fails to make me wanna DANCE!!!
Automatic good vibes. I spent many a night dancing to Deee-Lite in the club back in the day. Pioneers of electric and dance music! There was nothing on the radio like them at the time. Groove is Deee-Lite's biggest hit, but they are so worth a deep dive. I will still gladly listen to this entire album , World Clique, and follow up albums: Infinity Within and Dewdrops in the Garden. All 3 are execllent!
There was a whole Vibe in the early 90s with music like this... Digital undground, kin n play, boys 2 men, bel biv devoe... etc.. late 80s into early 90s was a move to like house party jams...
I am a 50 yr white old guy metallica dadrocker from the suburbs and even I remember Groove is in the Heart, Lady Miss Kier and her catsuit. We loved this song and the vid back in the day. Shit is (still) funky as hell. And Bootsy Collins on bass is awesome. (look him up, listen to Parliament and Funkadelic).
They were an extremely talented trio who sadly really never got the cred they deserved on account of how huge this song was, most of their really good shit was overlooked, Q-Tip is the rapper, from TCQ, and the Chappelle Show, and Bootsy was Parliaments bass player.
Good reaction. It was really fun to see you feel that song. That is the difference, at least to me, these days, is that I cannot feel the music like I could back in those days. Keep exploring. You are seeing what true talent was back in the day.
Thats QTip of A Tribe Called Quest rapping! The bespectacled dude with the bass is the great Bootsie Collins of Funkadelic and James Brown. DeeLite is the group. The singer is Miss Lady Kier from NYC- huge on the 90’s club scene.
They were huge. Check out World Clique. Their first album. They only made three studio albums but she was a tour de force. I saw them 4 times. So good.
The year was 1990 and from their first album World Clique. They only had 3 albums, the second was in 1992, Infinity Within, and the last one was either 94 or 95 before they broke up called Dewprops In The Garden. Always loved their dance party vibe.
Yoooo! I still bump Deee-lite's albums....they did 3 albums, but sadly this was their only hit....checkout their 3rd album "Dewdrops In The Garden" straight 🔥
This group was The Black Eyed Peas before The Black Eyed Peas was The Black Eyed Peas. Deee-lite's first major hit was this song in 1990 and The Black Eyed Peas first major song was in 2003 with "Where Is the Love?"
Man, I loved this song back in the day, such a fun song. Plus got to give a shout-out to Bootsy Collins, he was the guitar guy you would see and the rapper was Q-Tip.
In my memory this is the first song I saw a rapper on MTV. Good times where there was no shame in being fun. On the bass and the fancy glasses we have the great Bootsy Collins (James Brown bassist)
Run DMC and Aerosmith did Walk This Way years before this on MTV...after that I saw Beastie Boys, EPMD, Fat Boys, Eric B and Rakim...there was a lot of rap on MTV before Q-Tip guested on this song...
I almost dies laughing when you said that's where they got that from! My kids trying to do the jerk and I show them how.. they was like how you know. I'm like the jerk aint nothing new its the reverse running man.
In 1992 they did a really good pro-green, eco- friendly song called "I Had A Dream I Was Falling Through A Hole In The Ozone Layer" and later in 1994 "Picnic In Summertime".
Deelite was big group. 22 people playing instruments on stage with two djs. Boosty collins , you cant tell me you dont know him! Q tip was only featured on this tune

Every player on this track is a fucking legend.

Bootsie Collins and Maceo Parker both got their starts playing in James Brown's band. They had some serious funky all-stars on their first album.
This came out in the 90’s. It’s retro 60’s. You couldn’t turn on a radio without hearing it.
This song exploded in the UK. everybody was listening to it
True story...crazy all these kids don't know who Q Tip or Bootsy Collins are...they're not that much younger than us...of are they? Lol
was also in a ton of early video games. I remember several early racing games had this in the soundtrack
Danced my ass off in clubs when this song was new. Still have the CD. They were an amazing collection of amazing people making amazing music and it was among the coolest “it things” of the 90s.
It's retro 70's Einstein. There was no disco music in the 60's...
The guy rapping towards the end was Q-Tip and the one on the guitar with the star sunglasses was Bootsie Collins 😁
Holy crap how did I not realize that was Q-Tip all these years!!
Ahh got you!!
It’s a Bass. Davie504 won’t approve of your comment … SLAP!! 🤣🤣
@@Hi_Chris bass guitar 🤪 lol my bad
Who is in “Praxis” with Buckethead.
It hurts my heart to realize that people don't recognize the great Q-Tip in a video and know that he's from maybe the greatest rap group ever. His style and voice are so distinctive.
I thought the same thing.
Same with Bootsy. None of the reactors on YT seem to recognize either of them.
Indeed.
@@morabeza1 Yes, nobody ever comments on Bootsy.
Just kick it boiiiii
Such a fun song! The radio overplayed this so much in the 90's, like every 15 minutes! You should do The B-52's 'Loveshack', it's another fun one.
Love Shack is a blast!!
I admit the radio overplayed this song, but I loved it.

The expressions on your faces said everything that needed to be said. It's a damn fun song. Brought back some good memories.
That’s Q-tip! The entire album is amazing. They stretched genres in the 90s.

Man start of the 90s right here you can hear the decade in the song and that sums up the 90s except towards the end when boy bands came out
This was at every party in the ninety’s……it was happy all colors of people came together more….it was just so fun!
I remember this when it came out I had just left school and all the clubs and bars were playing this all summer. Still a great song.

this was massive in the uk the club went mental when this came on the spin loved it 🇬🇧❤️

I miss the 90s so much!! So much creativity and so many different genres of music. Love this song. 🥰
the rapper was Q-tip from the group A Tribe called Quest
I love the variety in the songs you react to and your appreciation of different styles.
I totally agree!! 😊
the group is DEE-LITE, and the vocalist is LADY MISS KIER.
I saw these guys live in a small club in Wilmington, NC back in the mid 90s. It was such a fun show.
I met Lady Miss Kier & Dimtry a few times back in early 90’s. They were big in the NYC Rave scene. They were pretty cool.
Still feel blessed that I grew up with this music. Don't get old.
NEVER EVER get old!
i remember going to the dance clubs when this came out. video is off the chain
In addition to the below - regarding the beginnings of rap influence here - this is also a case where MTV's popularity and THE VIDEO sold this song.
That was my main jam back in the day. Everybody on the floor
fun song! we rocked this in the 90s...cool to see younger generation feelin it :)
Thanks for the smile this morning!!!
Thank you!!
This was a big big hit in 1990. They toured all over the world with this song! It rocked!
Y'all should check out the whole album that this song came from, 'World Clique". The whole thing is🔥!
The bass player is a classic . . the late, great Bootsy Collins.
Great reaction to a groovy song from the 1990s. Cheers from Canada
90s music kicked ass... 1990 just started high school when this came out
That big smile on your face is what it’s all about! 🥳🤗😀
I subscribed cuz y'alls smiles are contagious.
Such a simple song, but I've never seen you smile so much on a reaction😊
This song still feels as good as it did in the 90's, so epic and delicious
We worked up a whole sweat dancing to this!!😂 And like the other comments, if you like this you’ll love Love Shack by the B 52’s!
How can you not smile while listening to this?!?
Believe it our not when I was a kid in the early days of underground rave we used to get dressed up like this just for the party.
Miss Lady Kier is a work of art. Beautiful. I could watch her dance all night
Oh damn . Didn’t realize y’all did review to this one till this morning..
It's all smiles when one watches and listens to this video. :-)
This group was The Black Eyed Peas before The Black Eyed Peas was The Black Eyed Peas.
Deee-lite's first major hit was this song in 1990 and The Black Eyed Peas first major song was in 2003
with "Where Is the Love?"
You guys need to try these two tracks from the 7o's and late 8o's.
Parliament - FLASHLIGHT
B-52's - LOVE SHACK.
Get your swerve on !!!
Supa Dj Dimitri is the only Russian to ever have a No1 record in the USA
That dance Dee-lite was doing was go go girl dancing which came from the 60's
Another song similar around this time was 100% Pure Love by Crystal Waters it's a fun one too!!
Bootsy adding some funkyness and Q-tip taking care of some cool rap
i love how this video makes absolutely everyone smile
Now you need some B52s "Love Shack" kinda same vibe.
Yes this from 1990 .. and was one of the biggest songs of the year! :)
Man, I loved this song back in the day, such a fun song. Plus got to give a shout-out to Bootsy Collins, he was the guitar guy you would see and the rapper was Q-Tip.
I remember hearing this in 97 or 98 Club Rio. Tempe , Az
Music soothes the soul, so groove is in the heart.
This is my 'guilty pleasure' song. 🤣💯
(Confession of a Punk Rock OG)
This IS a real East Village NYC authentic band !!! - Love em
They were a group feat Qtip and Boost Collins of Funk they were a BIG NYC club dance trio
In my memory this is the first song I saw a rapper on MTV.
Good times where there was no shame in being fun.
On the bass and the fancy glasses we have the great Bootsy Collins (James Brown bassist)
Run DMC and Aerosmith did Walk This Way years before this on MTV...after that I saw Beastie Boys, EPMD, Fat Boys, Eric B and Rakim...there was a lot of rap on MTV before Q-Tip guested on this song...
This song was chosen the best dance song of all time
For me this is when the 80's turned into the 90's. Class track.
We need more of this, just joyous dance.
I almost dies laughing when you said that's where they got that from! My kids trying to do the jerk and I show them how.. they was like how you know. I'm like the jerk aint nothing new its the reverse running man.
They use to call it the "Roger rabbit" I believe
The dance yall call the Jerk, we called the Roger Rabit back in the late 90's.
In 1992 they did a really good pro-green, eco- friendly song called "I Had A Dream I Was Falling Through A Hole In The Ozone Layer" and later in 1994 "Picnic In Summertime".
Every one of those musicians was someone at the top of their game back in the day. Bass guitar was the famous funk master Bootsie Collins.
It's the fun part of New Wave Punk genre. they are punking the 60s.
see also 'B-52s'.
Happy days back in the 90's in the UK club scene this was a banger.
Surprised you didn't recognize the due rappin'. That was Tip from Tribe Called Quest.
Deelite was big group. 22 people playing instruments on stage with two djs. Boosty collins , you cant tell me you dont know him! Q tip was only featured on this tune
I remember seeing this for the first time in the 90s on cable.
