the woman in the video is a model lip syncing. The actual singer is a belgian/conglese woman who grew up in chicago. I like the strong accent in the vocals
It was a Belgian dance group. In this video they used a congolese model. The original singer is 'Ya kid K' Manuela Barbara Kamosi a congolese belgian hip hop artist that lived in the us before returning to Belgium and making this song.
This song blew my mind when it came out in 89' Never heard anything like it before. This song doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This group changed music.
The Netflix mockumentary 'Cunk On Earth' (British comedian Diane Morgan) managed to work this song into every episode.... using it as a ludicrous, yet hilarious, historical benchmark of human evolution.
This is legendary! Iconic! Made in a basement on a computer,, pure dance techno pop! And the vocalist comes from the world of hip hop. Made in Belgium!!
16-17 ish danced in a club...I was classified metal head.... long blonde hair ,skinny black jeans, basketball boots Metallica Tshirt....,didn't care ! My metal head GF loved me for it !
@@ZacCostilla Yes,I remember those groups,man,I used to-LIVE-on the dance floor back then,girls didn't want to dance more than 1 song,so I'd dance by myself. LOL. Good times.
Late 80s and early 90s dance music often featured both rappers and singers. This is not Hip-hop. But then, most of this type of dance music featuring rappers was not very big in America, but it was massive everywhere else in the world. Especially, in the UK and Europe.
there's a story from KRS-One's brother about a time he was DJing a BDP show and ran out of records to play, and put this on, the crowd stopped and starting booing. This DEFINITELY did not go well with hiphop heads back in the day.
We were stationed in Berlin in the late 80’s and EuroTech dance hits were everywhere in the clubs. Anything popular on MTV made it onto the dance floor but we definitely felt the techno-pop vibes when we heard it.
The Model was not singing just lip synching, as the Artist Ya Kid K was still in school, and did not have the ability to do the video, so they brought in "Felly" to dance and lip synch. Then they put Felly on the cover. Their follow up Get Up also Hit it big, and once again Felly lip synched and danced on it.
I am a metal head from the 80's and when this song was on I was secretly jamming inside and would occasionally catch on MTV and crank it up when no one else was around.
My brother went to Los Angeles for a summer with our relatives (we all did) and I remember he brought this tape cassette back for me. It hadn't even made it to the radio out here yet (Missouri) but I remember blowing this out while we were playing in the yard and street. Rollerblading the street to this. It was awesome! I played it til the tape was eaten by the deck player.
This tune is timeless, one of those tracks that never will get old. If u go clubbing they still play it in clubs today not to mention there probly 100ds of different remixes on it aswell. Just like Snap - the power and rythm is a dancer these 3 tracks will never die from clubbing scene ever.
You Sir, are absolutely GODDAM RIGHT! I am a metal head from the 80's and when this song was on I was secretly jamming inside and would occasionally catch it on MTV and crank it up when no one else was around.
@@robertwilson2007 Agreed on all points. At this point in history my favourite bands were Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Megadeth but this is an awesome tune.
The model in the music video is Felly. The actual rapper is named Ya Kid K. The group is founded by a Swedish musician whose name I don't remember right now. They do have other songs. React to their songs Get Up and Move This please.
This style of song is basically club music or underground club , But it became so popular then it made radio play . I remember this playing at The Palladium in NYC
Sounds familiar, because its played at sporting events and gyms quite often lol. Also in movies, TV shows, dance clubs, etc. Early hip hop? Maybe because of the occasional rapping. Kind of . But this is/was considered house music, techno, Eurodance, EDM, etc. When disco dyed out during the mid '80s, it kind of morphed into this. Eurodance, electrofunk, techno. Bands like Snap!, KLF, Black Box, Culture Beat, Real McCoy, Ace of Base, C&C Music Factory, Haddaway, Crystal Waters, etc. Big in the late '80s, '90s, and '00s. Technotronic werent 1 hit wonders. This was their hit in the late '80s. They also had other hits in the early - mid '90s, like "Get Up", "Move This", "Move That Body", "This Beat is Technotronic", "Move it to the Rythm", etc. Watch those videos, too. They were from Europe (Belgium, Germany, France). BTW, that pretty black lady was lip syncing. She's a model from Africa. Felly Kilingi is her name.
D-Mob and Cathy Dennis 😍, Maurice, Twin Hype, Snap, KC Flightt, The Movement was the rave era version of hip house, and a bunch more one-off groups I can't remember...so dope man just banger after banger.
I used to go to an underage dance club when I was around 13 yo and I vividly remember getting down to this track on the dance floor.. 34years later and I'm still boppin' to it... Y'all should check out Marrs "Pump Up the Volume"... it's my fave late 80s/early 90s jam
This WAS the song in EVERY dance club back in the day!!! Still love it!!! One more thing. In the dance clubs back then... nobody paid attention to the words... it was ALL bass and Rhythm...
This was the ultimate club jam in 89. Club Amnesia in Dallas went crazy when this hit. Its was so different from anything playing in the clubs at that time and my first introduction to techno/house music. Changed the way I looked at house and techno music forever. It will always be in my top 10.
Oh man thurs friday and Saturday nights at Flubberbusters. This jam was always playing on the dance floor. 90's dance music was the best and will never be replicated ever !!
It's Hip House. Similar songs from the era that fall within this genre include It Takes Two (Rob Base), I'll House You ( Jungle Bros.), The Power (Snap), Gonna Make You Sweat (C&C) and anything by Doug Lazy, etc
A project out Belgium, from Jo Bogaert ( who doesn't appear in any video, he was basically the producer). The "singer" is model Felly Kilingi, miming to lyrics by Kamosi ("Ya Kid K"). They had a sort of semi-hit follow up to this, and I think that was it.
This song got me in so much trouble. It came on the radio and I floored my Mustang (in the neighborhood at 1am), only to pass a cop sitting in the damn neighborhood. Ugh. Lost license and had 40 hours community service. Mom/Dad took my car for 3 months!! Such a tragedy.
This is Italian House Music! House music originated in gay black clubs in Chicago, this sound was influenced by early 80’s British Synth-pop (Early Depeche Mode etc) and disco! I mentioned Depeche Mode as they were invited to one of these clubs and were treated like gods there!
This isn't hip hop but it's influenced by the first wave of hip hop and earlier dance music. It was part of the acid house scene late 80's/early 90's. If you listened to pirate radio stations (was lucky to have loads in London) like Fantasy FM the DJ's used to mix all sorts of stuff together, techno, house, electro, hip hop, maybe some classical. Tracks were faded one into another so always changing. I used to go out raving and dance till I dropped, bandanas, whistles, smiley t-shirts, hoodies with weird patterns on them, bright coloured suits, hippie waste coats, you name it. Was going on in warehouses, wine bar basements, fields around London, Ibiza. Later on serious drugs gangs got involved and the scene lost its buzz. 2 tracks to try out: Man Machine - Robot Okoku (the robot kingdom) and A Guy Called Gerald - Emotion Electric.
😂 I had their tapes when I was teen during the 90s. They had a bigger hit video back then too called "Get Up!" They had lot of other hits, too. This not early hip hop (been around since the 70s), even though there is rap in it. This is techno , EuroDance, EDM, and house music, which usually has bands from Europe. One thing you can notice from music like this is the sing songy vocals, the fast heavy bass, drum percussion beats (umph umph ump!) , very upbeat, etc. It's dance 🎶 music. 2 Unlimited is another fun group like this and C&C Music Factory. This was very popular music at dance clubs and radio, TV in the 80s and 90s.
If a man said this back when this song came out, it would be the exact same, fine. This came out before people were overly offended about everything and nothing at all. People just wanted to have fun and dance and not complain about words to a song.
the woman in the video is a model lip syncing. The actual singer is a belgian/conglese woman who grew up in chicago. I like the strong accent in the vocals
Yes. Ya Kid K ❤ was the real voice
Ya kid K 👍
milli vanilli 😂
They didn't put her in the video because she was considered freakish/gay as she dressed like a boy.
Yea, it was a big deal when it was revealed. Kid K was not “aesthetically pleasing enough” to be in the video 🙄
Highschool early 90's ( class of 92) me a metal (rock & roll fan) but I walked to highschool jamming to this 💯
It was a Belgian dance group. In this video they used a congolese model. The original singer is 'Ya kid K' Manuela Barbara Kamosi a congolese belgian hip hop artist that lived in the us before returning to Belgium and making this song.
Memories, of skateboarding in my garage, as a kid, to this.
This was a club staple back in the day, djs remixed it and it went on and on, filled the dance floor every friday and saturday night.
My mom is mexican and she would play this song every time she would clean the house lol
This song reminds me of busting tracks in the back of Sbarro pizza in the mall with my friends in 1989 practicing for homecoming dance!
Now I can only think of Cunk on Earth when I hear this song.
Same!!!
Literally watching it now
grade school dance vibes. Technotronic was dance music, not hiphop, and I think they actually had like four hits, but this was probably their biggest.
Power 96 used to play this all the time on my way to high school in the mornings
fun fact - Ya Kid K, the vocalist (not the girl dancing/lip syncing in the video), was 15 when she went into the studio to do this song.
They use to play this all the time in the dance clubs back then 🤔 Fun times.🕺💃
Where's my Disco biscuits I'm going clubbing 🎶🔥😂.
This reminds me of elementary school roller skating parties.
Damn, I'm proud of myself: I remembered that this came out back in '89, off the top of my head...
This is Club or Techno. Early rave staple. It's was an awesome time to be 21 and this song pumping!
This song blew my mind when it came out in 89' Never heard anything like it before.
This song doesn't get the recognition it deserves. This group changed music.
They also had hit songs called 'Move This' and 'Get Up' 😉
Man this brings back to my high school days and the skating rink
Huh, never knew she was saying "I want". I always thought it was "AAOW-Wa!", lol.
The Netflix mockumentary 'Cunk On Earth' (British comedian Diane Morgan) managed to work this song into every episode.... using it as a ludicrous, yet hilarious, historical benchmark of human evolution.
My first thought as well.
Cunk on Earth, along with Medical Police are the two funniest things on Netflix.
Reminds me of being in the Air Force stationed in Germany. Same with Milli Vanilli and Roxette.
This sooo takes me back! I’m at the skating ring showing out, 13 again!
theres a whole stash of 90s crossover tech classics that need reviews imo
Faith No More used to cover part of this song in their live shows.
This is legendary! Iconic! Made in a basement on a computer,, pure dance techno pop! And the vocalist comes from the world of hip hop. Made in Belgium!!
I was 10 when this came out 34 years ago 🫢 i'm old 😆
Lynnwood 😈 Brian back in the day I Dj'd parties and Technotronic was a big hit and I loved this Belgium group.
Back to my younger years. I was in the army when this hit came out at the end of eighties. We were watching it on MTV every day... :))
it still slaps . Such a great time for music that year was.
16-17 ish danced in a club...I was classified metal head.... long blonde hair ,skinny black jeans, basketball boots Metallica Tshirt....,didn't care ! My metal head GF loved me for it !
I still remember their performance on SNL (circa very early 90’s) and turning up my parents tv as loud as it would go 😂
This was dance club music in its time... technotronic, c and c music factory, D light.... Great memories. Great reaction. Thank you.
Very disrespectful thing to say . Appalling. Lol
Don’t forget Soul 2 Soul and Snap! which released dance songs about this same time frame.
@@ZacCostilla Yes,I remember those groups,man,I used to-LIVE-on the dance floor back then,girls didn't want to dance more than 1 song,so I'd dance by myself. LOL. Good times.
Late 80s and early 90s dance music often featured both rappers and singers. This is not Hip-hop. But then, most of this type of dance music featuring rappers was not very big in America, but it was massive everywhere else in the world. Especially, in the UK and Europe.
True comments! And yes, this is what we called house music, techno, Eurodance, etc.
FWIW, it's big in the US, too. But, def more popular overseas.
there's a story from KRS-One's brother about a time he was DJing a BDP show and ran out of records to play, and put this on, the crowd stopped and starting booing. This DEFINITELY did not go well with hiphop heads back in the day.
We were stationed in Berlin in the late 80’s and EuroTech dance hits were everywhere in the clubs.
Anything popular on MTV made it onto the dance floor but we definitely felt the techno-pop vibes when we heard it.
This was what kinda music besides Rock music I listened to
Move This and Get Up (before the night is over) we’re my favorite Technotronic songs.
WELCOME TO THE EARLY 90S
the best Era ever!
The Model was not singing just lip synching, as the Artist Ya Kid K was still in school, and did not have the ability to do the video, so they brought in "Felly" to dance and lip synch. Then they put Felly on the cover. Their follow up Get Up also Hit it big, and once again Felly lip synched and danced on it.
This is Euro-Dance/House. It was popular in the early 90s.
This was the first album I ever bought, on cassette over 30 years ago. Damn time flies.
I still remember listening to this album over and over again.
I am a metal head from the 80's and when this song was on I was secretly jamming inside and would occasionally catch on MTV and crank it up when no one else was around.
@@robertwilson2007 I don't blame you. I would resist to that beat at that time.
Yep...oh the memories. This was THE jam. My introduction to Euro hip- house. Great reaction!
Move This was another big hit of theirs. House music was big in the late 80s-early 90s and hip hop was infused into just about every genre.
I've loved this song since I was 10 years old (when it first came out).
My brother went to Los Angeles for a summer with our relatives (we all did) and I remember he brought this tape cassette back for me. It hadn't even made it to the radio out here yet (Missouri) but I remember blowing this out while we were playing in the yard and street. Rollerblading the street to this. It was awesome!

This was played virtually EVERYWHERE!!
😁
It’s funny listening to older songs like this with decent headphones nowadays. The production on this was so clean, sounds great!
MARRS- PUMP UP THE VOLUME
SNAP- THE POWER
If this song doesn't make you want to dance, I'm worried about you.
You are just too funny!!!
I want to but... well look at my comment and see why lol.
be worried about me
You Sir, are absolutely GODDAM RIGHT! I am a metal head from the 80's and when this song was on I was secretly jamming inside and would occasionally catch it on MTV and crank it up when no one else was around.
@@robertwilson2007 Agreed on all points. At this point in history my favourite bands were Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Megadeth but this is an awesome tune.
This was definitely my, "Jam" back in middle school.
Reminds me Thursday evening's at the youth club disco.😂
I was a freshman in high school when this came out. So this song takes me back to a crazy time in my life.
Bodybuilders Hans and Franz on SNL:
"We're going to...PUMP YOU UP!!!"
This still pumps me up. 😆
This was my jam when i was growin up.
Oh my god, I was 18 or 19 back then and in my mainstream clubbing phase. Great disco song!
Still fun all these years later. Love her pronunciation.
The model in the music video is Felly. The actual rapper is named Ya Kid K. The group is founded by a Swedish musician whose name I don't remember right now. They do have other songs. React to their songs Get Up and Move This please.
My elementary school was so hyped over this song back then
I am transported back to 11 years old. I dubbed this off the radio onto my fire mix tape.
This style of song is basically club music or underground club , But it became so popular then it made radio play . I remember this playing at The Palladium in NYC
Sounds familiar, because its played at sporting events and gyms quite often lol. Also in movies, TV shows, dance clubs, etc.

BTW, that pretty black lady was lip syncing. She's a model from Africa. Felly Kilingi is her name.
This is early 90s. Sounds fresh.
I was 11 when this came out. Music by Technotronic and 2unlimited were my jamz. 😊
In the UK this genre was called "Hip-House". See also Beatmasters, Cookie Crew... and of course Jungle Brothers "I'll House You".
D-Mob and Cathy Dennis 😍, Maurice, Twin Hype, Snap, KC Flightt, The Movement was the rave era version of hip house, and a bunch more one-off groups I can't remember...so dope man just banger after banger.
Makes me wanna travel back in time & pop an E at the house jam! (it's old school House music btw)..
I used to go to an underage dance club when I was around 13 yo and I vividly remember getting down to this track on the dance floor.. 34years later and I'm still boppin' to it...
Y'all should check out Marrs "Pump Up the Volume"... it's my fave late 80s/early 90s jam

I had forgotten how much more innocent the dancing was back in the day.
Oh man thurs friday and Saturday nights at Flubberbusters. This jam was always playing on the dance floor. 90's dance music was the best and will never be replicated ever !!
Dancing to this imagining you were a really good dancer now my new hip wont take the stress..
Used to dance to this with my buddy in the street when I was 10. What a freaking BANGER
This song was THE jam when it came out. It still holds up well today.
Read my sarcastic comment about this utterly crap song posted 12 hours ago
It's Hip House. Similar songs from the era that fall within this genre include It Takes Two (Rob Base), I'll House You ( Jungle Bros.), The Power (Snap), Gonna Make You Sweat (C&C) and anything by Doug Lazy, etc
This song is really something when the whole club is thumping with the beat.
A project out Belgium, from Jo Bogaert ( who doesn't appear in any video, he was basically the producer). The "singer" is model Felly Kilingi, miming to lyrics by Kamosi ("Ya Kid K"). They had a sort of semi-hit follow up to this, and I think that was it.
one of the first eurodance hits
“Get Up! (Before the Night is Over)” is another hit in the U.S. that they had. It reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Pump Up the Jam” reached #2.
Heads up, the girl is only a lip sinking model, not the actual singer, it's the young kid dancing in the clip.
This made me want to lace up the roller skates
This song got me in so much trouble. It came on the radio and I floored my Mustang (in the neighborhood at 1am), only to pass a cop sitting in the damn neighborhood. Ugh. Lost license and had 40 hours community service. Mom/Dad took my car for 3 months!! Such a tragedy.
It had heavy rotation on MTV so even rock guys like me heard it a lot and I liked it.
Early HipHop? haha I love it because you guys are so young still ;) Btw their second hit ( Get up) is also great!
This song is on my playlist. It really gets you moving. Love it ❤
Lexi appeared overwhelmed with the visuals and all that her reaction was missing was Lexi clutching her pearl necklace...lol.
This is Italian House Music!

Hello Bob!
Technotronic came from Belgium and the style was not Italian House Music, the music genre was called Eurodance back then. Kind regards :-)
It is not Italian. It is Belgian. Check out Belgian new beat if you are interested.
@@Feieraufsicht Cheers, for pointing out my mistake! 👍🏻
@@stefanderoos5155 I’ll do that! Cheers! 👍🏻
Love this. Thanks for taking me back in time. Remembering your twenties at age 58 can turn your day around...in a good way! It did mine 🥰
This was common back in the day. "The Power" by Snap is the same type of music. It was great stuff to dance to and was heard just about everywhere.
This isn't hip hop but it's influenced by the first wave of hip hop and earlier dance music. It was part of the acid house scene late 80's/early 90's.

whenever i hear or think about this song i immediately think of jock jams
An earworm if there ever was one.
Another of their hits is “Get Up.”
that's true ans "move this"
I remember this song. Don't know where from but I deffently heard. I think on a commercial.
Brings me back to the LA-Techno/Rave scene back in late 80s.
LMAO, Pump it up! Fell off a chair at Brad "yeah, you can tell (it's old school hip-hop,) it doesn't sound all (ratchet? wretched? ratshit?)‼️"🤙
If a man said this back when this song came out, it would be the exact same, fine. This came out before people were overly offended about everything and nothing at all. People just wanted to have fun and dance and not complain about words to a song.
This was HUGE!
The woman in the video isn't the actual vocalist. Ya Kid K was the singer/rapper but didn't appear in the vid.
This was the jam back in the day:)
This was awesome -- best of the 80s and early 90s! Another one: MARRS, Pump up the Volume
If you grew up with this song you were so sick of hearing it you would leave the club
