A 90s homage to the 60s. The guy rapping is Q-Tip is from A Tribe Called Quest, who you should really react to tbh lol

[@lumpyfishgravy]

This was a staple in the 90s. Fun Fact on my mixtape the next tune is U2's One. I know because my brain tape told me.

[@matthewmolkentin6230]

This is the perfect one-hit wonder... I heard it being played in the grocery store the other day and couldn't help but notice how people of different races and generations were all bobbing their heads along to the music.

[@MysticaRealms]

I miss fun music and when we were having fun in life in general

[@asianhobbitshaving3050]

Historically speaking, Dee lite popped onto the music scene in the late eighties \early nineties; and yes, they had a retro feel. Many European bands at the time were getting nostalgic over 1970's musical styles, such as St. Etienne, Swing Out Sister, and Dee Lite. This when when House music was huge in the UK.

[@enriquemoon]

I hope it becomes a hit on TikTok again so they make some money again...they deserve it. They have great albums

[@iamthecaptainofmysoul2293]

So happy to be from this era

[@MrWestie1985]

My daily shout out for Roads or Glory Box by Portishead live from Roseland NYC ✌️

[@wanderlustaesthete4117]

[@ogmandog]

How about This could be sweet by Portishead

[@SuperSteelyGlint]

Pretty much anything by Portishead tbh.

[@MICHEALFOXWORTH]

[@theghostofthomasjenkins9643]

this is just a fun song. they had fun making it and we have fun listening to it.

[@timlois]

It's hard to explain how fun this song was when it came out in my high school years.

[@tammymartin7017]

This was THE BEST song at parties! Still is!

[@sueq6]

It`s 90s Dance Music at its best

[@paulojrneto]

[@craigwilson3815]

Reminds me of the time I saw them perform at the legendary Palladium nightclub in NYC in the '90s with Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest!

[@dragonmac1234]

Brad looks confused and Lex is grooving, the song is as trippy as heck but I love it

[@corkydukeII5898]

Lol! Yeah this is one trippy psychedelic song! It probably had nearly EVERYONE confused upon first watching it! (and by the way, Brad looks confused on MOST songs he reacts to....lol)

[@cheryljackson5659]

Yeah, what else is new? LOL

[@jedislap8726]

Quelle surprise.

[@animeman84]

When is Brad NOT confused?

[@dragonmac1234]

@@animeman84 I've only recently started watching this channel, so I didn't know if that's his natural state listening to the music. It seems it is lol

[@RichardMorphet]

This was early 90s dance mix CDs in the early nineties tape cassettes were being replaced with CDs the most popular tape cassettes were dance mixes that people made themselves buy recording songs from radio broadcast so in order to get people to buy CDs they started making Dance Mix CDs to transition from the 1980s to the 1990s and to transition people from buying tape cassettes to buying CDs from retail stores so you literally have a CD with 14 songs on it or even 21 songs and it would be 14 to 21 different artists on one CD dance was the most popular style in the early 90s so most of these CDs were full of dance songs just like Deee Lite's Groove is in the heart this was a trend in pop music

[@LuxeFilmography]

You know you’re old when folk don’t recognize Q-Tip’s trademark voice. They thought she was rapping lol

[@Dreyno]

Yeah. Thought everyone knew him. Especially with all the guest appearances he did. Beastie Boys, Chemical Brothers, Mark Ronson, The Roots, Run DMC. The man got around.

[@PerryCostello]

In the 90's we (20 year old college kids) had a BIG flashback to late 60's early 70's psychedelia. and it was awesome... and it was fun as hell. So you two nailed it talking about the 90's sound but the 70's vibe. That was indeed our groove.

[@beelzebob23]

This was the point in the 90s when everything went RETRO.

[@LMarshall73]

Yep. I can't remember if it was caused by Austin Powers, or if Austin Powers was a byproduct. Either way, it was a pretty fun time.

[@ricardo950535]

This song, if I aint mistaken, became like the universal song of the 90s. Even the Spanish radio stations played this.

[@ricardo950535]

And as my old Italian homeroom taught us, fashion and culture repeats itself every 20 years.

[@coreyrees840]

This is 90’s, but it’s when the 90’s started taking late 60’s early 70’s trends and rehashing them, the same way now in 2021 we’ve been rehashing 90’s trends.

[@mistabook]

The old 20-year cycle

[@GeeLove]

I love this jawn. From the first time I heard it, even today, it makes me happy. Another song they did called “Thank You Every Day” is good too.
