Every black wedding I've been to, this song HAS ALWAYS been played and the amount of people that rush to the dance floor, people will drop everything/anything they're doing just to do this dance... I love it!!! You can't not dance when it comes on!!!
Really? So my 7 year old black students, if they’ve been to a wedding, it will be familiar for them? I’m researching dances that I could do with them in class like for exercise, but I’m looking for dances that are culturally relevant to them
@@fit6456 Your 7 year old students probably won't know this song, different generation entirely as the song came out in 1986 but you never know play it and ask them who knows it. If they don't know that one you can try Master KG feat Nomcebo - Jerusalema I'm almost certain they'll have heard of that, there's also a dance to teach them with that one!
Interesting, while watching the movie in theaters or for the first don't know if I thought this was unscripted, but after a few watches you can clearly see that it is.
A few years ago I went to the wedding of a white man and a black woman and the guests were split more or less evenly along those lines. Really early in the evening - long before there'd been any drinking to speak of - most of the black folks got up as if by some sort of unspoken agreement and did this dance. Most of us white folks had never seen it before and had no idea what was going on. Good vibes though.
I honestly don't think anyone was acting here. Maybe this was somewhat choreographed but this just looks real to me. They all are really having fun here and you see the director had to get in on it LOL
This wasn’t acting ... this was the end of the movie scene and the director, who is Spike Lee’s cousin, Malcolm Lee (and BTW who was also getting down in the shot) told them to go ahead, be yourselves, let loose & freestyle. I thought everyone knew that. So this is just US, black people luxuriating & authentically being ourselves PERIOD! 😊
+Hackworth Watson Yeah, I heard some black chick the other day say being nice is called ugly duckling syndrome. I was like WTF!!! Smh, from my experience if your nice they try to use you or either be backstabbing.
it is true about people using good people but other part no that is foolish talk no matter what GOD want us to all be kind no matter what that is how you when over evil.
yes agree are a Christian? But that is what God expect us to do, that's why we have prayer for help, and when others don't except our forgiveness and kindness press on anyway make sure we do our part and keep praying for that person that's our daily life.
If the electric slide doesn't break out at every black family function there's something wrong hell we even did it at my graduation party 😂😂 #ILoveMyCulture
American not any Black function because that is like saying other Black countries too. I love this dance and look at it and would like to go to a function where this line dance was actually done several times so I could pick up the steps and really participate and get this feeling
I'll never forget when that movie first came out, I couldn't wait for that particular scene. There's nothing like seeing a bunch of Fine black folk dancing the electric slide. It's so beautiful!!❤❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
dj oldskool stealing this 😂😂😂 dear future husband , we will not have a bland wedding , that's for sure . I just hope the family members I actually like will be able to make it
Kat Metal I'm with you on this! Not only is this the best movie ending ever, the song puts me in a good mood every time. I run this when it comes on at my bar!
I love this movie, and I have played this scene over and over just to see the handsome Terrence Howard dance to this song. In my opinion he stoled this scene with his sexiness and his beautiful smile and his dancing moves. Until this day I still live it, love it 😍😍😍
As Angie le Mar observed, 'Candy' has become our new national anthem. No matter what you doing or where you are at a party as soon as you hear those three opening beats you get in line for the Slide. So true.
This film right here along with Love Jones, Soul Food, and Love & Basketball really set a new standard of films with Black casts with universal stories. Before these films we only had classics like Boomerang and Waiting To Exhale but they were outliers in a sea of violent hood films with black casts. After Best Man and the others i mentioned we got way more diverse and relatable depictions of us that even translated to other races. The late 90s to early 2000s were really a golden era for our people in film and television. This scene is still iconic!
I'm white. Thanks for posting. Just watching folks close together having a good time is chill. I miss my family and family gatherings this size. I hope the world unites in peace to fight covid. Too bad it's gonna take too many lives (mostly of color) before we do. God Bless.
Imagine if we all united and supported each other to become the best we could be and together turn this beautiful planet into the best thing there ever was and then color..race.. ethnicity etc...were not a thing..... doesn't hurt to dream of what this world and humanity were supposed to be right ?? !! This moment in the movie portraits at least that feeling!!
When everyone was alive , smiling dancing and laughing together..., These were the days . Now , I’m trying hard to make more similar beautiful ,powerful memories like these... but it can be tough when so many have passed. Cherish YOUR LOVED ONES RIGHT NOW FOLKS! Loved ones cross over before you know it! So keep dancing, smiling and loving FOR THEM TOO!!!

Favourite scene in the whole movie. It was soo wonderful; I wanna do this at my wedding. One of my favourite movies of all time!
I love this scene. Terence Howard added some special flavours in that dance.
That looks so fun, even tho they were acting, it looks like they were even having fun! I want my wedding to be like this!
I honestly don't think anyone was acting here. Maybe this was somewhat choreographed but this just looks real to me. They all are really having fun here and you see the director had to get in on it LOL
Chris Gunn l
That won't acting!!!! They couldn't WAIT to come out of character and get their groove on!!!

@@sassydiva7821 well said!
That wedding reception was LIT!! This is how I want my reception to be
Oooooooooolalalala..that damn Morris Chestnut not only was he good looking, he knew how to dance too!!!!!! :-)
This is my favorite part of the movie this never gets old.
This dance is a prerequisite to earning your black card
Hell, it's a prerequisite to the prerequisite!
And I wish I could go to a party where they actually did this to learn and do it to feel so so hip and cool
Love it I need to be there having fun too every one look so beautiful and happy 💕💕
If you cant master this dance you dont have soul..period.
🤣😂❤️
Terrence Howard was groovin tho
This is the IDEAL wedding. Period.
Mickey Rabbit this is the ideal ending to a wedding loool - the back story behind the wedding was far from ideal
Terence Howard got down. I love to watch him pretend like he's rubbing the bald guys head. Like he's shinning it up!!! Lol
Thats real love at 1:29....When a man holds your shoes, he loves you deeply
I thought the same thing, great directing and acting by Taye Diggs and Sanna Lathan
I noticed it and I feel it so too. It’s very sexy when a man holds the shoes of a lady...
Yep
Yes I loved that part too❤
Y’all say the dumbest shit 😂
When I get married this how I want my wedding to be like
okay done my bride.. I will arrange that for u..lol
Me too
+Shikorr Mango I go to weddings like this all the time. Great vibes.

come on sis life is not a movie
It would be nice if black folks still got along like this, especially my generation....
+BeautyLoveGoddess I know right it is so sad that lot of us, can't even when you try to get along it don't work i don't get it.
+Hackworth Watson Yeah, I heard some black chick the other day say being nice is called ugly duckling syndrome. I was like WTF!!! Smh, from my experience if your nice they try to use you or either be backstabbing.

This was one of my favorite scenes in the movie.
kandyd0ve what movie is?
this Scene in the film is just Legendary it brought the song back with the electric slide added lol

Makes you break out into a huge smile. These people look and behave like my family! Why it resonates with so many Black people.

Terrence Howard is soooo freakin cute! I love him
+mya washington because he light skinned thats why hes cute ....not hating but you women need to wake up
No, it's because he has beautiful eyes. Are black women only allowed to find dark skin men attractive now?
+Maxantium he's cute because he's cute the man has nice features being light skinned has nothing to do with it

You can do the electric slide to almost any song. Black and Hispanic parties are the best!
i agree

Black people have rythm.....never seen a large group of any other race on point like this, actors or not...black and proud 👊🏽

Nothing like family and friends getting together to make Everlasting memories.

Cant have a wedding reception without the Electric slide!!!
