Why do I feel that Deelite and B-52's had their own genre all of their own at this time? This is such a unique song and was a big hit in the UK when it was originally released. Definitely a party song!!!
This song caused controversy in the UK as it sold the exact same copies as Steve Miller Band's The Joker in Sept 1990 but was denied the number one spot as the UK chart compilers would not have two songs at number 1 so they gave Steve Miller the number one as he climbed further to reach the top and had greater sales emphasis. It is the only time the UK has had two songs selling exact amounts in a week when competing for number one and the chart rules were changed after this but it never happened again and Deeelite never got the top spot in the charts.
Some great sounds from the UK 1990s/2000: S'Express - Hey Music Lover Sonique - It feels So Good Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) Faithless - Insomnia Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar Echobelly - Dark Therapy Texas - Halo Death in Vegas - Hands Around My Throat
I was 15 when it came out and we where going to 14-17 dance clubs without alcohol of course. We were dancin what I call the Grandfather clock dance on this great song.
Listening to people here this for the "first time" is completely otherworldly to some of us who grew up in the era, and no every single word, note, beat, and drop!
A hit, often aired on radio or tv at this time. So you probably heard it when you were younger. I really like it and listened to it again a few days ago.
When Bootsy Collins said "Aah remember groove is in the heart and Deee Lite is known to smoke, On stage that is" he meant that this group is smoking hot.
. I am sure they partied but if you smoke something you are killing it. You are taking it to another level. Bootsie Collins is the ultimate funk guitars in the 90s. He was party of parliament funkadelics and YOU HAVE TO CHECK THEM OUT. Amazing group. 👏 thanks for the video
i think it's called a "slide whistle"and i freakin' LOVE your reaction this track! you're so into it, its hilarious! i just hope that sometime and somewhere you get to actually get up dance with yer mates to this at a party/disco/middle of the street or whatever. tho i don't remember slide whistles ever being around in 1990's... i think they were briefly around in the 70's, like a lot of plastic "fad" toys, but that was the beauty of DEEElite, that were such a funky mash-up of so many sounds and aesthetics but all brought into one very satisfying whole
This is the first vinyl I ever bought. I recorded the video off the TV chart show and I learned and learned and learned to copy her exact dance moves.... I thought it would get the guys rushing towards me. But, instead all it did was make a would be suitor just laugh at me :( I also have a fun fact. The guys who made this video, well one of them came over to England about 96ish and he gave me my first job in VFX. :)
As noted below, the bass player is Bootsy Collins, bass extraordinaire. His song Body Slam is one of my all time ever favorite songs, not to be missed. He has wonderful solo albums but was also a member of Parliament with George Clinton, played with James Brown and is an Ohio national treasure. :🙂
This song is such a classic! One of the most representative songs of the 90′s in my opinion. Also, as a French girl, I love your reactions on French songs. Let me recommend you some stuffs. Barbara. If you like fragility, emotion, class and elegance, Barbara is for you. I'd recommend "Gottingen", "L'aigle noir", "Le Mal de vivre" and "Ma Plus belle histoire d'amour". I would be so curious to hear your reaction upon these. Same goes with George Brassens. A great singer-songwriter he was; with just his guitar and his voice he was great at storytelling. "Les copains d'abord", "J'me suis fait tout p.tit", "Les Passantes" and "La Mauvaise réputation" are my go-to songs from him. If you like musical movies, check out the soundtracks made by Michel Legrand, especially for "The Young Girls of Rochefort"! Others songs I could recommend to you: - Toulouse by Claude Nougaro - Léo Ferré - L'affiche rouge Julien Clerc - Fais-moi une place, and Utile as well. Christophe - Les Paradis Perdus and Les Mots Bleus - France Gall - Poupée de cire, poupée de son. Also Hong Kong star if you wanna see her in another style. - William Sheller - Un homme heureux, or else Un endroit pour vivre. Véronique Sanson - Une nuit sur son épaule. Also, I'd be super duper interested in having your opinion on more modern French artists, such as Pomme, Clara Luciani, Barbara Pravi, Tim Dup, Hoshi, Feu! Chatterton, Julien Doré, etc. Keep up, your videos are super entertaining.
i remember this from my door security days in a nightclub it used to pack the dance floor allmost 400 people dancing to this was epic...i challenge anyone who likes music not to move to this song...
Thanks to reacting to this amazing dance tune :) Other amazing dance tunes from 1990? Snap "The Power" and Technotronic "Get Up! (Before The Night Is Over)" (Also have Technotronic 1989 megahit "Pump Up The Jam!" that was a big hit both in 1989 and 1990 making it to the Global Year End Chart in both years!). Oh and I can't forget the classic "Tom's Dinner" from D.N.A. ft Susane Vega. Of course the biggest dance hit from 1990 you already reacted to (that's Madonna "Vogue").
Il va vraiment découvrir tout un univers avec notre John The Wolf! 1990. Quelle chanson incroyable. Mais bonne chance avec le français avec la chanson Isabelle. Je me suis toujours targuée de la chanter au complet par coeur. Je sais pas si je serais encore capable aujourd'hui!
OMG I never knew QTip was the rapper on this track. You should check out his collaboration with Janet Jackson Got Till It's Gone also featuring Joni Mitchell it's stunning. Loved your reaction to this it's just a bop ❤ soooo good and very interesting musically and visually.
HEY DERI WHILE YOUR REVISITING THE 90S YOU SHOULD REACT TO VANESSA WILLIAMS SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST SUCH A BEAUTIFUL 90S SONG , MUCH RESPECT TO YOU DERI , PEACE FROM MELBOURNE OZ .
Highly recommend their 3rd record too (not dissing the 2nd, but...) their 3rd is stellar. How many NYC dance groups sample The Clash? Only one that I know of.
Hi Dereck Reacts 😁 before Britney spears and Christina Aguilera there was Cathy Dennis..hope you'll do a reaction video on her hits "touch me" or "jus another dream", she has her distinct sound and image that you might wanna check it out. ❤️
Everyone hit the dance floor to this back in the day when it was popular.
This song is ART....mindblowing creativity...unique timeless
A huge hit in 1990! I had just graduated from high school and was enjoying a great summer with my first car 😁
A club standard till the mid 2000s, when they created the beeping crap.
Lady Kier is a goddess.
One of the top 3 dance songs of all time IMO.
This song was EVERYWHERE during the summer of 1990!!!
I just love this song! It is certainly a "dance classic"... 😀
This song is a classic for many people , Thanks for reacting to it
This song came out in 1990 and it was YEARS ahead of its time. They set the bar very HIGH and few came close until 2000's
The video and music are hypnotic .This single is pecfect to begin the party.
Let's dance !
Why do I feel that Deelite and B-52's had their own genre all of their own at this time? This is such a unique song and was a big hit in the UK when it was originally released. Definitely a party song!!!
One of the best songs to get a party started.
This song is iconic.
Such a groovy song 🕺 I remember spinning around the dancefloor listening to that one 🎶
The male voice,other than Q-Tip,belongs to Bootsy Collins from ‘70s soul group George Clinton’s Parliament Funkadelic.
It's more a funk group than soul
@@Reani71 p-funk to be exact
Bootsy's THE MAN!!!
When I was bouncing in the early 90's this was a nightly party song in the clubs.
Big international hit
One of my favorites. What a good time! My memories are full of cool moments. Thanks!

Love how she moves!❤
Some great sounds from the UK 1990s/2000:
S'Express - Hey Music Lover
Sonique - It feels So Good
Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)
Faithless - Insomnia
Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar
Echobelly - Dark Therapy
Texas - Halo
Death in Vegas - Hands Around My Throat

👏👏😄💞🎸🎶 That was fun!! 🎉 He said she smokes on stage!!
I was 15 when it came out and we where going to 14-17 dance clubs without alcohol of course. We were dancin what I call the Grandfather clock dance on this great song.
Could not have clicked faster. Thought, this is right up your street. So fun this song and video.
Oh my ! The 90’s were amazing . And we were called “ clubbers” . So much fun on the dancefloor!!
This woman is so fresh, she's vitamine ❤️🙌🙌 I remember this one ❤️
Such a fun song and one of my all time favorites!!
Listening to people here this for the "first time" is completely otherworldly to some of us who grew up in the era, and no every single word, note, beat, and drop!
This is so epic!
I love this song!
An absolute classic made to dance ! Timeless !
Nice last name bro !
I always loved the song for being a unique genre mix... something between funk, disco, psychedelic rock, hip hop and house.
One of the best tracks ever
I love Groove is in the ❤! My gen tune.
Another singer that was in the UK charts was Betty Boo. She did "Doin the Doo" and "Where are you Baby".
Absolute banger of a choon! L❤️VE it!
A hit, often aired on radio or tv at this time.
So you probably heard it when you were younger.
I really like it and listened to it again a few days ago.
Damn the early 90’s were so much fun in dance clubs. I miss those times without a care in the world on a Saturday night.
When Bootsy Collins said "Aah remember groove is in the heart and Deee Lite is known to smoke, On stage that is" he meant that this group is smoking hot.
3:22 slide flute…👍🏻
So fun! Played this over and over as a teenager!
OMG, one of my all times favourites! 🤩
I have always loved this song. Used to hear it at the Nec (A²) and 220. Great dance/party background.
Love this song! So groovy! Glad you reacted to it.
this wonderful song from their album [ World Clique ] the one that I recommend the most to listen to cause it is fantastically good album 😇😇😇
Such a great fun song! They were around during first couple of Wigstock festivals N.Y.C. Great albums,& her also being a dj.👍👍
The instrument is called a slide whistle, and I think I got one out of a box of Cap'n Crunch when I was kid.
I love this woman ❤
It was a world wide hit. I love it 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yeah, I used to love dancing to this at clubs. Fun!
the instrument is a slide whistle
In case you're wondering still 3 years later, that's a slide whistle.

I also have a fun fact. The guys who made this video, well one of them came over to England about 96ish and he gave me my first job in VFX. :)
That was when music still have groove ....
i can imagine you dancing around the house all day from room to room

The DJ in te video is Towa Tei. He also made a great album called Future Listening. Looove his music 😍
Big Hit 90,s
pure kitsch magic opening the dor for club music...
OMG! You DID react to Deeelite already! My bad bro!!! Defo gonna follow you!

This song was the Gangnam Style song of the 90s. If this song came out today it would EASILY get a billion views. Nuff said.
i remember this from my door security days in a nightclub it used to pack the dance floor allmost 400 people dancing to this was epic...i challenge anyone who likes music not to move to this song...
Drugs are bad, m'kay.
But DAMN are they FUN!
My sons video to watch was sledgehammer - this was my daughter's.
She had a lot of 'Tegridy :)
Thanks to reacting to this amazing dance tune :)

Yes! (Loosing my bananas 🍌😂 )
Can’t forget Black Box either!Ride on Time in 89 and Everybody Everybody in 90!
@@henrywallace7996 Oh! Those tunes are amazing too! How could I have forgotten to mention them!😍😍😍😍😍
Since Dereck also likes songs in French language, he could react to Jean Leloup's "1990". Same era, groovy too, but more sarcastic.
Il va vraiment découvrir tout un univers avec notre John The Wolf! 1990. Quelle chanson incroyable. Mais bonne chance avec le français avec la chanson Isabelle. Je me suis toujours targuée de la chanter au complet par coeur. Je sais pas si je serais encore capable aujourd'hui!
This is a classic! 🔥🇧🇷❤️
Slide whistle 🎉
The instrument you talked about is a Slide Whistle.

Groovy! 😁
Check out -
Power of Love and Good Beat. Total club bangers!
That's right..get your pause hand ready . I hate when TH-camrs pause
It is a slide whistle.
React to Technotronic - Get Up. Another 90's classic.
I was 14 when this came out........phuk, I'm old.
This is goooooooog musiiiiiicccc ! So sad it only ranked #33 in France.
(It seem listening to Piaf all day long doesn't help to enjoy the groove.)
It's call a Kazoo Brandi Modrak XOXO.
Te amo Derek greeting from mexico
Good sound
HEY DERI WHILE YOUR REVISITING THE 90S YOU SHOULD REACT TO VANESSA WILLIAMS SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST SUCH A BEAUTIFUL 90S SONG , MUCH RESPECT TO YOU DERI , PEACE FROM MELBOURNE OZ .
It’s a swanee whistle 😵💫
Lady Kier❤❤❤❤❤
Released August 1990
I have yet to see a woman dance better. She was killing those moves!
She is DJ Lady Kir.
Highly recommend their 3rd record too (not dissing the 2nd, but...) their 3rd is stellar.
How many NYC dance groups sample The Clash?
Only one that I know of.
Hi Dereck Reacts 😁 before Britney spears and Christina Aguilera there was Cathy Dennis..hope you'll do a reaction video on her hits "touch me" or "jus another dream", she has her distinct sound and image that you might wanna check it out. ❤️
I'd LOVE to see a react to some New Order and/or Heaven 17. 😊
Did you listen to Cathy Dennis. The songs „just another dream“ and „touch me“ are great!
I think the instrument you referred to is a slide whistle.
If you like this you'd like "Sweat" by C&C Music Factory 🏭
If you haven't already reacted to "music" by John Miles, give it a blast. Could be the soundtrack to your channel
Love
Lady Miss Kier
It’s a Swanee whistle
Show us the video to a To the B52 Love Shack you will love it XOXO Brandi Modrak XOXO means hugs and Kisses.
