This was a retro video from 1990. The retro part is why it was a hit. That was Bootsy Collins on the bass, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker from the James Brown band on horns.
Sorry. It's not Bootsy on bass (and people have been getting this wrong for DECADES -primarily 'cause he appears in the video.). The now-famed bass line is a sample.
@@angielofton6372 Totally understandable. ...I assumed the same, myself, for years & years (although I knew that Towa-Tei & Dmitri were, basically, "all samples, nothing live" guys 🤷🤷-It was that era!) 🤷🤷🤷 .... yeah, it's a rarity!! Look-up the soundtrack for the film' Blow-Up. The sample is on there. 👍
Chod, this is a 90s song. The video is intentionally evocative of the 60s' psychedelic vibe and flavor, inspired in part by that period's comedic variety show, "Laugh-In". The "Austin Powers" movies took their cue from that as well. For a brief while, everything "60s" was new again.
This song is from 1990. Glad you saw the video. The music video theme is that groovy 1960s psychedelic thing. I remember the video was a big thing. Many of us grew up watching late 1960s and early TV and movies that had a lot of psychedelic colors, even some commercials, so it was cool to get that vibe again. In the US this was their only hit.
"The Second Summer Of Love" was the phrase around 89 - 91, ACIEED ! Euro Dance and Acid Jazz appeared around the same time, with groups like Snap !, 2 Unlimited, Jamiroquai. Deee-LIte did three albums but this was their biggest hit, from "World Clique". The second album "Infinity Within" had heavy topics and the third "Dewdrops In The Garden" again of lighter shades.
Hey Chod! This came out in 1990, not the '70's. It's just a fun retro video. Deee-Lite was a trio: Lady Miss Kier, Supa DJ Dmitry and DJ Towa Tei. Rapper Q-Tip, from A Tribe Called Quest, and P-Funk legends Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley guested. Peace.
I was happy to see this video. I hadn't seen it in a long time. I recall when I first saw it. I was transfixed by it. I think it's '90s decade. It's groove I did deeply dig.
Oh god this was played INCESSANTLY in my dorm when it was released.....fun the first 10000 times, but after that...(but yeah, just a banger for sure. And man the clodhopper shoes in this video take me back.)
I love the way you respond to older music. (being 63) to see someone with your musical talent and abilities enjoy the music we had back in the day it often makes me proud of what we had. As well, it makes me feel good to see you enjoying it. btw, im a major steely dan fan, and I love your responses to them! Best to you!
The Deee-Lite album World Clique from that time was a good dance album (they were a band, by the way, it wasn't just Lady Miss Kier). Another decent hit of theirs was Power of Love. Hardly anyone has reacted to it, so please give it a whirl! If you have a chance, listen to the whole album on your own - very catchy!
Sorry. It's not Bootsy on bass (and people have been getting this wrong for DECADES -primarily 'cause he appears in the video.). The now-famed bass line is a sample (of Herbie Hancock. The bassist playing in the sample is, in fact, the legendary Ron Carter.). Incontrovertible fact.
World Clique and Dewdrops in the Garden are both fantastic albums. No skip songs on either. The 90"s were so fun! (and it was the 2nd Coming of hallucinogens, so things got cool-weird and everyone just partied together. Great time to be a teenager/early 20's).

Not just a rapper.
That’s Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest.
Just a rapper = hood pass revoked !!

Bootsy, Fred & Maceo were also part of Parliament-Funkadelic.

@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra Ahhh...thanks, I just assumed with him carrying a bass and all.

Back in the '80's and '90's there were alot of eclectic out-of-the-box musical video's... bangers in the clubs, what a great era!

This is the song that ushered in the 90's.
90's doing 60's. It was a little moment in time and the music, fashion and B movies movies like "Party Girl" are jewels to me now.
You're spot on. She is such an underrated vocalist

You're spot-on about Lady Miss Kier vocal talent, she's criminally underrated. Check out "Who was that?" for more funky vocal extravaganza.

I remember this from my childhood .Great reaction

Well said in your end comments.
If you’re going back to this era, you gotta react to The Pharcyde “Passin’ Me By”!
The main sample is the oddest bit of Herbie Hancock I have ever heard.
*Groove is in THE heart
A music trip. No, it was 90s.
Bootst was from the seventies this is the nineties
Can’t believe you didn’t spot Bootsie!
If you want to try more Deee-Lite, I recommend the song Good Beat.
For some reason, you don't pop up in my suggestions much anymore. I used to watch you a lot. I miss your wife. I hope she is well.
Sorry to be the Grammar Police but the song is called ‘Groove is in THE Heart’ lol
Clicked the like button and it turned white, but stayed at zero.

Great track made up of samples. Herbie Hancock bring down the birds, Vernon Burch Get Up.
Bro Q-tip is better than Slick Rick...
