Deee-Lite has to be one of the craziest ensembles ever! You've got Phunkadelic royalty - bass player Bootsy Collins, giving that sick funky groovy bass line. The beautiful, energetic Miss Lady Kier, Japanese DJ Towa Tei, 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. Soul, Funk, Dance, Pop, Rap - it's just too fun! 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.
Just for the record, Bootsy Collins did not provide that bassline. That was lifted / sampled from a Herbie Hancock track called "Bring Down the Birds"... I think Bootsy's contribution was just vocals.
@@control_the_pet_population I believe Bootsy did play live though on tour. There were a lot of samples in this, including a sample from the "Green Acres" theme song.
The funky dude who cracked you up is DJ Dmitry. He was born in Ukraine in 1964, then part of the Soviet Union. He holds the distinction of being the only Soviet national to have been credited with a Top 40 hit on Billboard Hot 100.
This song was everywhere. Can't not smile and be happy when you hear those first few riffs on the radio. Gets you in the mood good. Great driving song.
In the 90s it was all about the 70s. In the 70s a lot of it was about the 50s… in the 2000s it about the 80s, now it is again leaning toward the 90s. Has been a style nostalgia for all of history generationally.
Intro to the 90s… No Deelites whole album is fire 🔥Not a one hit wonder. Listen to: ‘ World Clique’ album. She has many songs and was born in Ohio, moved to several east coast states and was in NYC when this came out.
This song came out in 1990. I was 25 years old and living in new York city and was an aspiring actress. I waited tables in a restaurant on W 20 street that was half a block down from the infamous nightclub, the Limelight. Some who worked at the club used to come in to the restaurant and I got to know them and hence could get in for free (there was a huge cover charge sometimes) and drink for free. This Limelight was inside of a former church that was built in 1845 and still had pulpits and religious ornamentation all over the place...the irony of all the debauchery. that was going on in a church..lol. It was known for its outlandish theme parties thrown by club kids and all the drugs...Ecstasy was THE big thing then and this song, with all thats going on itit musically, was the perfect marriage.. I adored the limelight....once you walked thru those huge original church doors, you could be whoever you wanted., whatever you wanted. Everyone's uniqueness was embraced, which i loved . Everyone seemed so beautiful and happy...then again we were all high AF!!..Ah youth !!
Far as I know, it was kind of a ‘one hit wonder’, as far as mainstream hits go, & back then they lit up the video circuit for its creativity, but what many artists/DJ’s/producers do is make tracks that can play in dance clubs on an international level. I actually had sent her a message on social media congratulating her on her creative vision & success. Whe responded & was very cool! Q-tip & Bootsy, 👍🏾
I’ve been a huge fan of your energy, PLEASE react to runaway, I feel like you’d love it, it’s super underrated and it’s so sad because it’s such an up beat fun song with a great message about self love!😻
*MACEO blow your horn!! James Brown AND George Clinton's sax player. *The player of the year!! BOOSTY COLLINS, James Brown AND George Clinton's bass player.
Not enough reactors react to this song. That is why you are in a lane All of your own making. I don't know why this song popped in my head But it did and that would be love shack by the B52's
That's Q-Tip not Phife, plus Bootsy Collins in all of his 'starry' glory. The group consists of Lady Miss Kier, Super DJ Dimitri, and DJ Towa Tei. They had other songs, but this particular song was the most popular out of their other songs.
Not she... them. Dee-lite is the name of the band, and her name is Lady Miss Kier. Same when they think Blondie is the name of the singer ("Heart of Glass"), but the actual singer is Debbie Harry. And no, it wasn't a one-hit wonder, they have many other great songs. What accent? How can you tell an accent when she's singing? If anything, you're the one that has an accent. This was like 1990.

😊 all well said 🎄
You missed one...Playing the sax was the sax player from James Browns band and he worked a lot with Prince. The great Maceo Parker!!!
@@tafkap01 Oh My Gosh! THANK YOU! I love getting the scoop on music. Adding that to my memory now! Merry Christmas!

Deee-Lite is the band. Her name is Lady Miss Kier! This song was an international club smash in 1990! 💪🏾👊🏾😎
That's Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest
Sometimes music is just meant to be FUN!
Totally underrated group. I have all of their music and still play it continuously till this day.
This video as well as this song is an excellent icebreaker for any party and any dance floor!!!🎉😂❤
The video is like a trippy fever dream yet the song slaps lol i love it
If you don't dance when this comes on, you're dead inside.
This was an MTV staple back in the day.
MuchMusic, in Canada, as well.

I loved Deee-Lite and Lady Miss Kier! I had all their albums! ♥️
Bootsy Collins, James Brown bass player and a star in his own right is in this too!
Bootsy is also all over the new Silk Sonic album which you recently reviewed. So his career has spanned over 50 years.
Parliament, Funkadelic, etc.
This is one my 6 year old granddaughter’s favorite songs
Fun jam with Bootsy (PFunk) and Q-Tip (Tribe Called Quest) doing guest appearances.
This was in all the clubs when it came out. Fun song! ✌❤
Definitely one of my favorite 90s songs!
This song was everywhere. Can't not smile and be happy when you hear those first few riffs on the radio. Gets you in the mood good. Great driving song.
This was such a fun song to dance to back in the day. There was no sittin around when this jam came on.
I had a club back in the day. Heard this song to death. Every night for at least 10 years. It still makes my toes tap.
Scientifically proved to make you groove 👌.
This was a hit back in 1990. This was a def club banger!!!! Great reaction! Thanks Twon!! ❤❤
Back when club music was not random noises.
I was a college freshman when this came out. Danced off this like crazy. That was Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest
This is a great reaction!!👍
This song is fun...came out in early 90s
Impossible to sit still during this song 😂😂
So I was in The Navy in the early 90s. We were cutting up in the club back then 😜🤪🤩
Actually go deep... their music is funky as hell and well done... it's supposed to put you out of your comfort zone but you groove to it.
I hear this tune every time i'm in the supermarket. Bootsy: Watch out!
Oh yeah, I remember the fun we had dancing to this one 😊
That's Q-Tip and the Legendary ,Bootsy Collins on bass.
I never get tired of watching this video.
Well its a Christmas Miracle!! Another one of my requests... I love it
I love seeing people react to this song/music video because they also get introduced to the legend that is Bootsy Collins.
This group is from the NYC area. React to their songs Power Of Love, Smile On, Deep Ending, Runaway, Bittersweet Loving and Call Me please.
What a group!
A lot of people did not realized the 70s outfit were a trend in the 90s. Btw this came out 1990.
In the 90s it was all about the 70s. In the 70s a lot of it was about the 50s… in the 2000s it about the 80s, now it is again leaning toward the 90s. Has been a style nostalgia for all of history generationally.
I approve of any music with Bootsy Collins! The groove and Lady Miss Kier's energy in the vid totally makes vid 🔥🔥🔥
Fun song to dance to at the clubs in the 90’s
Intro to the 90s… No Deelites whole album is fire 🔥Not a one hit wonder. Listen to: ‘ World Clique’ album. She has many songs and was born in Ohio, moved to several east coast states and was in NYC when this came out.
Yes!!! Ive been hoping you'd do this one!! 🥰
Hey Twon that's Q-Tip who was Rapping and That's The Legendary Bootsy Collins who was at The End he's the one featured on The Silk Sonic Album

Love! ❤❤💜
Great song..great reaction!
How could you not know that bootsy collins was in your face on that bass..
You can listen to Power of love, What is love?, Good beat
I was in college when this came out. I always found her dancing funny, yet sexy.

Gives me the same kind of groove as, B52's - Love Shack and Rock Lobster
🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤. "4 Minutes " by Avant, "When your mad", by Ne Yo, and "Unpretty " by TLC. 🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
I’ve been a huge fan of your energy, PLEASE react to runaway, I feel like you’d love it, it’s super underrated and it’s so sad because it’s such an up beat fun song with a great message about self love!😻
Runaway by this group deee-lite
yes a one hit wonder but their other stuff is AMAZING!
Groovy . . .
*MACEO blow your horn!! James Brown AND George Clinton's sax player.
*The player of the year!! BOOSTY COLLINS, James Brown AND George Clinton's bass player.
Not enough reactors react to this song. That is why you are in a lane All of your own making. I don't know why this song popped in my head But it did and that would be love shack by the B52's
What if 1990 collided with 1969?
Oh man do you man like the man the song man!
Merry Christmas twon
Interesting fact about Deee-Lite: Super DJ Dmitry is the only Russian to have a no1 Record in the U SA
Wow. I didn't know that.
disco delivers.
Listen real good
Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry is kind of like this song but even better.
I feel bad for the younger generation who don't know bootsy and qtip
react to their song good beat, its got bootsy in it too
The black eye peas got their influence here
Yes its was a one hit wonder...it was fun

Qtip from Tribe Called Quest came with the bars
The one who is rapping is Q-Tip and yeah he is from A Tribe Called Quest
Its QTip/ And DeeLite was not a one hit wonder back in the day. I remember seeing this premier on MuchMusic up here in Canada. The 90s were the best.
Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy dance to this in The Heat.
👏👏👏👏
You should react to “Da Dip” by Freak Nasty.
That was Q-Tip..btw
The video had a 60’s psychedelic vibe..
It’s actually 70s
@@lanceflx63 Yeah, mid to late 60s early to mid 70s vibe.
@@lanceflx63 Sorry it’s 60’s ,Hendrix Haze?
@@dalee72 mid 70’s would be disco and punk,the psychedelic imagery is late 60’s ,the Jimi Hendrix era..
Tribe called quest...nuff said
The weird guy in yellow dancing is the leader of the group. They are from America I'm sure
Bootsy and Maceo from the JB's!!
If you were a Dee Light fan, this is not a one hit wonder!
- That was Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest.... but yes
Not she... them. Dee-lite is the name of the band, and her name is Lady Miss Kier.

What accent? How can you tell an accent when she's singing? If anything, you're the one that has an accent.
This was like 1990.
Q-Tip!!!!!
The first time I ever saw a "man bun."
Miss Lady Kier. One of the sexiest women to ever dance and groove.
this song will get you moving lol
Who was the saxophone player?? I saw him before …
q tip!
from tribe
Q-tip, not fife
Q-Tip... not Fife Dog
She’s from Ohio I think, so that might explain her accent…
Lol one hit wonder no way. Chexk out apple juice kissing.

Check out Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe, official vid. 😄
