So we got Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley and Q-Tip, riffing with DJ Dmitry, DJ Towa Tei and the ever lovely Lady Miss Kier. WIth a Herbie Hancock sample. Best party tune ever.
This was a big hit back then. What you are witnessing is the diversity in music that we had back in the day, across all genres of music. Sound effects was commonly used in hip hop music back in the day. The diverse styles of music back then was on high...
Amen. I was eleven when the song came out and being a little gay boy from WIsconsin, I was starry-eyed and obsessed. I finally met Lady Miss Kier in 2006 and fulfilled my dream: I did the rap onstage next to her when she sang "Groove is in the Heart" at a LGBTQ pride event.
Q-tip on this and De La Soul on Gorillaz "Feel Good Inc." are the sort of appearances that make me so happy, knowing that artists I love also appreciate other artists I love. (Nas & Beastie Boys "Too Many Rappers Not Enough DJs" also.)
This song was playing the first time I ever saw a girl in her underwear. My best friend and I were 14 and we were riding our bikes at night we passed by a house with the door open, some girl was standing in the doorway in bra and panties, this song was playing on their stereo. I'll never forget.
That's the iconic Bootsie Collins on guitar, one of the original members of Parliament-Funkdadelic. He played for James Brown early on in his career as well.
well if you are talking the video, the video is exactly like something straight out of the 1960s. i could see if you are young and think that this is new, if you have never seen any videos from the 1960s. this is the 1960s psychedelic way
Was out for dinner tonight. This came on Told our table & server how we used to jump out of cars / cabs at intersection stop lights to get down to it when it first came out. . Lol. 💃🤸♀️🤸♂️🕺
These guys and their crowd were so ahead of their time, they look like they belong to both the 1960s and the 2010s! Psychedelic patterns and man buns! Lol
Oh man, one of my all time favourites! Dude, I dance around the house to this most days. Try to keep up with her dance moves for the whole song, it's quite the cardio workout!
I think she's just on a video loop, so it's not so hard for her. But if you're trying to maintain those moves for the duration of the song then you must really be exhausted.
One of the things that makes me happy about my life is the fact I was got to grow up in England in the 90’s, the music was insane from dance to indie and everything in between ....as well as other aspects!! If you know you know 😉 I’d have loved to experience the 60’s but we got the next best thing!!
The entire album is fun. This group had two DJs. I wish there were more fun songs like this today. To bring in QTip to collaborate was ahead of their time. Plus Bootsie.
G Guff I bought this album specifically for this song, but wound up loving _EVERY_ one of them. That's unusual for me to like every song. Usually there are a few on every album that aren't very good, but not this one.
We were stationed in West Germany in Schweinfurt and this song came out when I was 20. Hard to believe these people are like almost 60 now. I don't understand time and or ageing. I'm still 25 even though 30 years gone by.
Ahhh, grade 9 house-party. This song and Love Shack (by The B52s) on repeat for a half hour or so... Memories. You should definitely follow this one up with Love Shack.
I liked this song since the first time I heard it back in the early 90's! This is one of those songs that seems like they poured the 60's the 70's the 80's and the 90's into a blender and this is what came out!! Lol! I LOVE it!! It's always been a great track!
Guarantee you that at some point this week Jay is gonna just be wandering around, doing whatever he normally does, and he just randomly busts out singing "Groooovee is in the hearrtttt". It's unstoppable.🤣🤣. Been happening to all of us for 30 years
Deee Lite was lightyears ahead of their time. This had such a huge impact, I can't even start to mention why and how. Just read the wikipedia page about this song and group. Then start dissecting all the samples it contains to truly appreciate and understand the production. And then go down the list of guest artists on this song. This was massive for a very long time. One of the biggest dance hits ever. Featuring Q-Tip, Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker. Check out: Herby Hancock - Rock it
Every Deee lite album, only three, is unusual and a classic that went to #1 on the billboard dance chart. They ruled the underground club circuit for years before their record came out, then they took the party globally. They are considered pioneers & beloved for bringing nyc house-music into the billboard top ten of the Hot 100....
I'm a massive Dance Music head in my 40s and know all the tunes you react to and watching you react and talk about the tracks is brilliant and makes me relive the feelings I had when they were new. Great work!
Jay, this song was played at every single club & frat party my entire freshman year of college at UF!! We even rolled out in the 60's zip up boots & skirts. 🤣🔥🎵❤ Those memories are just TOO good!!
My roommate dressed as Lady Miss Keir for Halloween at the time and when we walked around people thought she was dressed as Mama Cass. I'll let you figure out why.
😂 I have 25 or 27 years asking the same. WTF? This song will be in my playlist until the end of my days on this earth. You got a new subscriber! Just for this...love you
That was DJ Keoki & DJ Dimitri, a huge part of the rave scene in the '90s. Individually ran into Dee Light members at The Roxy on the West Side, The Limelight, at Raves all over Manhattan. Truly truly legendary times, the 90s were f****** sick
The looks on your face are killing me. I was a sophomore in college when this came out. It was so much fun to dance to at clubs. The early 90's were a trippy time for music, so many odd one hit wonders.
To those who have any recollection of the 70s (and a lot of those who lived through them do not, for various reasons ;-) most of this is instantly recognisable ;-))
I am older and always look for new songs but I never really find anything I like that is current. Then this song came up recently (I had never heard it before) and i thought, GREAT, finally someone has come out with a good song. Then I find out is it 30+ years old, lol. I guess we all just like what we grew up listening too.
Funny I was just thinking that in a way it's like one-hit-wonder "Come On Eileen"...both of them have a simple (but addictive) hook but then just keep changing modes through the whole song without getting too repetitive.
I met the singer Lady Miss Kerr after there concert, she is beautiful in person and in the video bass player Bootsy Collins who alot of people do not know he is a bad ass bass player from back in the day.. respect
Lady Miss Kier, Towa Tei & DJ Dmitry!!! And Bootsy Collins!! Great song!! How about - Digital Underground- Humpty Dance! (Written by George Clinton & Bootsy!)
They started a fashion, I remember the line-up to see them in Montreal, lots of zippers etc... My friend Steve a DJ and composer, ran into on a crowded street, more recently, and they both opened their arms as if they were long lost friends and hugged each other! Groove is in the heart!
My little brother bought this cd and when he went out I'd 'borrow' it and have a good dance around my room. He still doesn't know I used to take it lol
The mad thing is it's over 30 years old and still sounds fresh as hell.
Disco House never gets old
"But it ain't house music...."
instablaster...
Amen brother! My heart still gots that groove. Still jamming this!!
This group was about 15 years ahead of their time
So we got Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley and Q-Tip, riffing with DJ Dmitry, DJ Towa Tei and the ever lovely Lady Miss Kier. WIth a Herbie Hancock sample. Best party tune ever.
Too much talent in one place. 🔥
Didn't even know who Q-Tip was back then. Now I'm like hey it's Q-Tip!
We were in golden age because nothing better replaced it.
I'm not even sure our boy ID'd Bootsy or Qtip..
Are you thee James St James?
This video is the exact moment that the 80s became the 90s.
Correct
I thought so. Couldn’t remember.
Yes! Including the 1970s going from something the 80s were trying to get away from to something the 90s would mine for material.
Accurate!
And "Vogue"...
He's not vicious or malicious
Just de-lovely and delicious
So much fun! I love this song!
This song was HUUUUUUUGE in the early 90s dance club scene. So much goodness.
Ahh...the good old days!
Luscious Jackson
We looked stupid, the blokes sucking dummies or blowing whistles.
The 90s were having the 70s nostalgia just like we're having the 80-90s nostalgia now
Oh, yes it was...=)
The dude at the end is Bootsy Collins, a national treasure of funk.
*Intergalactic* Treasure
in the rock & roll hall of fame
Bootsy's the BOMB!!!
Keep it on the one!
When you step off the mothership you are indeed intergalactic.
The P.
You don't NEED to know what's going on... you were dancing. The song won.
Amen and hallelujah!
You got that right! Just get up and move that's all he needs to do!
Right!💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
OK!!
EXACTLY !
This was a big hit back then. What you are witnessing is the diversity in music that we had back in the day, across all genres of music. Sound effects was commonly used in hip hop music back in the day. The diverse styles of music back then was on high...
In this, we did not fail. We left a diversity off music that young artist can build from. They're listening and loving it.
This is such a fun song
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
We were ALL trying to dance like Lady Miss Kier -- de-gorgeous! The 90s were so fun!
I'm not built for it at all but whenever I dance I have the urge to try to copy her doing the snake or that marionette dance.
Every dance move I know came from this video. Lol
Yes!!! We all wanted those moves! She was everything in about 1990!!!
I just tried to do 90's dances to this to annoying my teen daughter but she pretended not to notice.
Amen. I was eleven when the song came out and being a little gay boy from WIsconsin, I was starry-eyed and obsessed. I finally met Lady Miss Kier in 2006 and fulfilled my dream: I did the rap onstage next to her when she sang "Groove is in the Heart" at a LGBTQ pride event.
I still love this after 30 years. Always makes me smile!
The Bass Player.............The GREATEST Bootsy Collins 😁
James Brown personally gave some of his soul to Bootsy.
He is quite Funkadelic :)
Nobody has more bass than Bootsy :-) On the One!
About 10 yes ago ,went to see parliament, met him outside the club ,cool dude
SO FRICKIN HUGE when it came out. I was alternative, rock, pre-grunge but knew this was the shit.
When this song came on in the clubs, EVERYONE rushed to the dancefloor. Back when there were dance clubs.
I wasn't old enough to go clubbing, but the Skating ring was jumpin' when this song came on lol
I was there!
Sooo many times!!
I danced my head off to this in the clubs when it was new. Still seems recent!
I could literally watch this woman do her bobble dance for hours. lol
The rapper is Q-Tip, whose crew A Tribe Called Quest were absolute gods of hiphop in the 90s. You should check them out!
Has he checked out "Buddy" from De La Soul yet?
Tribe called quest "the scenario "
I didn’t know it was Tip.. but now I’ve heard this years later.. of course it is 👌
You should check out, A Tribe Called Quest "Award Tour".
Q-tip on this and De La Soul on Gorillaz "Feel Good Inc." are the sort of appearances that make me so happy, knowing that artists I love also appreciate other artists I love. (Nas & Beastie Boys "Too Many Rappers Not Enough DJs" also.)

You know how people are nostalgic for the 80's and 90's now? Well back then we were nostalgic for the 60's and 70's.
Bell bottoms!
I remember dancing to this in clubs! Love it!
Exactly!!
big time
@@JeanParisot And those wonderful platform shoes. Damn I loved those!
Jayvee: “This song grows on you.”
I would say so! 30 years later it’s my ring tone, lol!
Love your username!
@@dxcpt TU :)
Your name is in the song. "My supper dish. My succotash wish."
You heard that song 1 time. MY GENEREATION HEARD THAT SONG OVER 7,853 TIMES CUS THAT'S ALL THEY PLAYED ON MTV. FOR LIKE 3 YEARS.
You said MTv.
I think this was the last video they played. Or some REM bullshit.
LMAO! 😅
I think you might have missed a 0 on that number!
Thats how cool MTV used to be
This was one of the 1990s biggest dancers… Every time the DJ put the song on, the dance floor became hot hot hot! Oh, how I miss those days!
I loved this song when I was in my twenties. The vibe, the style, it was my thing. I was so feeling that band.
The signer is Lady Miss Kier she's an NYC icon and DJ and the guitarist with the star sunglasses is the legendary Bootsy Collins!
Bassist!
@@burtreynolds2969 ahaha whatever floats boat, I guess he is a bassist since he's playing a bass GUITAR :D
I still play this song when I’m feeling down. Can’t help but smile.
That's the iconic Bootsie Collins on guitar, one of the original members of Parliament-Funkdadelic. He played for James Brown early on in his career as well.
Bootie Collins Is snoops uncle
Correct, except that Bootsy was a bass player, not a guitarist.
@@vermilliongecko Arhh, thank you! I like to be knowledgeable! I didn’t realise there was a difference between bass player and a guitarist. 🙏🏽
@@OmgAuntySuzanne16 Well it's bass guitar, you weren't really wrong ;)
@@grunions9648 oh cheers !
The guy at the end is Bootsy Collins. He’s in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He played with Funkadelic, George Clinton, James Brown and many others.
Crazy times when people were creative with their own talent.
No algorithms. Good music like Deee-Lite.
well if you are talking the video, the video is exactly like something straight out of the 1960s. i could see if you are young and think that this is new, if you have never seen any videos from the 1960s. this is the 1960s psychedelic way
@@loyevangelists cheers mate for the added info. I was referring in general to the talented artists on display, creating one of my favourites.
Although the riff is Herbie Hancock's Bring Down the Birds th-cam.com/video/tADslgXuYig/w-d-xo.html
Long ago, in a GALAXY far, far away...
I always laugh about the "fake fur" disclaimer in the beginning.
Can't believe this song had it's 30th anniversary recently. LOVED IT when I used to go clubbing.
I feel old.
Was out for dinner tonight. This came on
Told our table & server how we used to jump out of cars / cabs at intersection stop lights to get down to it when it first came out. . Lol. 💃🤸♀️🤸♂️🕺
60s fashion was very popular in the early to mid 90s. I had several pairs of bell bottoms and platform shoes.
Platform Sketchers sneakers! Mah ankle breakers, LOL!
This song never fails to get me dancing around.
Yea know what you mean . . . .and i'm 62 this year
Nothing makes me miss the 90's more than this song.......
These guys and their crowd were so ahead of their time, they look like they belong to both the 1960s and the 2010s! Psychedelic patterns and man buns! Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
30 yrs and this still sounds DEE -LITEful
Oh man, one of my all time favourites! Dude, I dance around the house to this most days. Try to keep up with her dance moves for the whole song, it's quite the cardio workout!
@Barely Taupe Probably not a pretty sight! Haha
I think she's just on a video loop, so it's not so hard for her. But if you're trying to maintain those moves for the duration of the song then you must really be exhausted.
Lady Miss Keir, Dj Dmitri, Towa Tei and special guests Q-Tip and Bootsy Collins! It doesn't get any funkier than this!
Can't go wrong collaborating with Q Tip AND Bootsy Collins.
Miss Bootsy.
Bootsy is from outer space.
... and maceo parker!
@@daddynitro199 Truth: I first met him on the Mothership, long ago...

One of the things that makes me happy about my life is the fact I was got to grow up in England in the 90’s, the music was insane from dance to indie and everything in between ....as well as other aspects!! If you know you know 😉
I’d have loved to experience the 60’s but we got the next best thing!!
Straight up. I enjoyed the UK charts more than the Billboard charts in the 90s..starting from Madchester to trip hop to Placebo!
This got almost got choked at Dimitri for blowing a kiss!? Bootsy Collins and Q-Tip are legends..
Yep!
Saw Dimitri live In the 90s. He’s absolutely a mind blowing DJ
yeah, it was kinda cringy watching him get weirded out by a guy blowing a kiss in video like it was personal. ahah! very confusing.
The effect you mentioned is actually an instrument called a slide whistle.
The entire album is fun. This group had two DJs. I wish there were more fun songs like this today. To bring in QTip to collaborate was ahead of their time. Plus Bootsie.

I feel like this song was meant to feel like an acid trip. and the only time a slide whistle has worked so well in a song
This song and video were so fun and funky when they came out. Deee-lightful!
I liked this song since the first time I heard it back in the early 90's! This is one of those songs that seems like they poured the 60's the 70's the 80's and the 90's into a blender and this is what came out!! Lol! I LOVE it!! It's always been a great track!

This song is so much fun and everybody danced to it in the clubs when it came out in '90. One of the best ever.
Not just in the clubs, we danced in our bedrooms, living rooms, friends houses............
"I find your lack of recognition of Bootsy Collins and Q-Tip, disturbing."
- Darth Vader
This song is the 90’s the club would go mental when this came on.
Right when you said "I don't know what is going on" I was dancing and singing every word. But we both had huge smiles on our faces.
Jay, this song was played at every single club & frat party my entire freshman year of college at UF!! We even rolled out in the 60's zip up boots & skirts. 🤣🔥🎵❤ Those memories are just TOO good!!
Jayvee, I love your energy... I have watched 10 or more of your reactions tonight and I admire the way you embrace all genres... Great stuff!
6:10 - "Dat guy blowing a kiss at me?" Hahaha, don't take it personally, Jayvee. He blows kisses at me too.
My roommate dressed as Lady Miss Keir for Halloween at the time and when we walked around people thought she was dressed as Mama Cass. I'll let you figure out why.
Lol
Hey now. Lol. I love both Lady miss keir AND mama cass
The person at the end isn't supposed to be anyone. He is Bootsy Collins!
with his space bass :-) Funkiest bass player ever. On the One! baby baba :-)
THE Bootsy Collins!
Only one of the greatest bass players ev ah!!
😂 I have 25 or 27 years asking the same. WTF? This song will be in my playlist until the end of my days on this earth. You got a new subscriber! Just for this...love you
Fun times in the '90's, putting on our groovy 60's style thrift clothes, and dancing at the clubs.
So the DeeJay from this group...I was lucky to see at a rave in the 90s. These folks are full on talent
That was DJ Keoki & DJ Dimitri, a huge part of the rave scene in the '90s. Individually ran into Dee Light members at The Roxy on the West Side, The Limelight, at Raves all over Manhattan. Truly truly legendary times, the 90s were f****** sick
Even Beavis and Butthead are down with Dee Lite
I grew up with this song. Born in 84 so this song has been in my life since forever.
You need to check out some

Damn, the 90s were so freakin' fun.
The looks on your face are killing me. I was a sophomore in college when this came out. It was so much fun to dance to at clubs. The early 90's were a trippy time for music, so many odd one hit wonders.
"That's trippy" before you even got to the trippy!
These people were already in 2121 and we still haven't caught up with them. 😂
The best 90’s dance song ever!! Gets me moving every time!! ❤️❤️
To this day Groovy is in my vocabulary and groove is in my heart
Don't worry Jayvee, no one knows whats going on here.
To those who have any recollection of the 70s (and a lot of those who lived through them do not, for various reasons ;-) most of this is instantly recognisable ;-))
Deelite was an overwhelming surprise, the magic of each one of the musicians just makes it unique.
Love these guys! Same with De La Soul, C&C Music Factory, etc!!! Great reaction!
I am older and always look for new songs but I never really find anything I like that is current. Then this song came up recently (I had never heard it before) and i thought, GREAT, finally someone has come out with a good song. Then I find out is it 30+ years old, lol.

This band was so much fun! Great dance music 🎶 ...Good choice 👌 early 90's
Yup. 90’s . That’s what’s up 💗
When That happens, just close your eyes 👀
And Listen.
This song takes me back yearssss. Makes me feel old. I felt young free and single then. Time goes so fast. Old in a flash.
You aren't old! Don't let the crummy old 2000s get ya down.
This was my era. Was 19 when this came out and it feels like yesterday. 😭
This one reminds me of C&C Music Factory "Gonna Make You Sweat". You will like that one...will get your heart rate racing.
Ooh, love this song, it gets me moving everytime,
Lady Miss Kier is her name and she was unique: her style, her dance, her stage presence. Hugely under-rated.
Haven't heard this in forever. A one hit wonder that plants itself in a crevice of your brain making it unforgettable. 👏👏👏
Funny I was just thinking that in a way it's like one-hit-wonder "Come On Eileen"...both of them have a simple (but addictive) hook but then just keep changing modes through the whole song without getting too repetitive.
Q-tip is one of my all time favorites. a tribe called quest holds a place in my heart, been a huge fan since i was little.
Deeeegorgeous! ❤
I met the singer Lady Miss Kerr after there concert, she is beautiful in person and in the video bass player Bootsy Collins who alot of people do not know he is a bad ass bass player from back in the day.. respect
My favorite song at the time. This song and B52’s Love Shack made a great one-two punch. And I write this being a classic rock kinda guy.
I MET THE MOST BAD ASS FRIEND EVER, SHE WAS LISTENINGTO GROOVE IS IN THE HEART ON HER HEADPHONES... LUVVVED THIS SONG FOREVER!!!
This song reached number one on Billboard's Dance Play Chart, number four on the Hot 100 and number 2 in the UK in 1991, definitely a smash.
if this song doesn't make you feel good you're dead. Though it might even make you smile in the afterlife.
Hey Jay! This is truly a throwback that was played in all the clubs in New York back in the day. Everyone was turnt up on the dance floor! 💃🕺
Same in London, love it!!!!
We play this song in the netherlands in every party.. we love to dance to it.. Groove
90's club kids unite! Bootsy Collins on guitar.
This was their more pop type hit, their track " what is love" is an awesome old house track.
Lady Miss Kier, Towa Tei & DJ Dmitry!!! And Bootsy Collins!! Great song!!
How about - Digital Underground- Humpty Dance! (Written by George Clinton & Bootsy!)
Hell yeah
They started a fashion, I remember the line-up to see them in Montreal, lots of zippers etc... My friend Steve a DJ and composer, ran into on a crowded street, more recently, and they both opened their arms as if they were long lost friends and hugged each other! Groove is in the heart!
My little brother bought this cd and when he went out I'd 'borrow' it and have a good dance around my room. He still doesn't know I used to take it lol
I still have the album on cassette..."World Clique" 😉
