FIRST TIME HEARING Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart (Official Video)|REACTION!!!

[@jennhurl]

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.

[@traceyamarnie6105]

😊 all well said 🎄

[@tafkap01]

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!!!

[@jennhurl]

@@tafkap01 Oh My Gosh! THANK YOU! I love getting the scoop on music. Adding that to my memory now! Merry Christmas!

[@control_the_pet_population]

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.

[@ffjsb]

@@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.

[@kennbicknell5492]

Deee-Lite is the band. Her name is Lady Miss Kier! This song was an international club smash in 1990! 💪🏾👊🏾😎

[@lepoetress]

That's Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest

[@leecaine6700]

If you don't dance when this comes on, you're dead inside.

[@FUBAR1986]

This video as well as this song is an excellent icebreaker for any party and any dance floor!!!🎉😂❤

[@michaeltipton5500]

This was an MTV staple back in the day.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

MuchMusic, in Canada, as well.

[@tafkap01]

Totally underrated group. I have all of their music and still play it continuously till this day.

[@chrisf.7980]

Sometimes music is just meant to be FUN!

[@Frhs287]

I loved Deee-Lite and Lady Miss Kier! I had all their albums! ♥️

[@ziamarie]

The video is like a trippy fever dream yet the song slaps lol i love it

[@ianrosie4431]

Scientifically proved to make you groove 👌.

[@prettybullet7728]

I never get tired of watching this video.

[@MarcusCiambelli]

This is a great reaction!!👍

[@cliffbrown1798]

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.

[@ericrivera8410]

He used to spin at the tunnel club where I worked the front door lady miss keir lived in my neighborhood she keeps on shape by rollerblading

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

This was in all the clubs when it came out. Fun song! ✌❤

[@unkeymoo]

Definitely one of my favorite 90s songs!

[@lisafromnj2277]

This is one my 6 year old granddaughter’s favorite songs

[@ankhgirl3]

This was such a fun song to dance to back in the day. There was no sittin around when this jam came on.

[@xanajak]

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.

[@lonniews4025]

Fun jam with Bootsy (PFunk) and Q-Tip (Tribe Called Quest) doing guest appearances.

[@TheDivayenta]

Bootsy Collins, James Brown bass player and a star in his own right is in this too!

[@douglassmcclellan8424]

Bootsy is also all over the new Silk Sonic album which you recently reviewed. So his career has spanned over 50 years.

[@embrya26]

Parliament, Funkadelic, etc.

[@eb4676]

A lot of people did not realized the 70s outfit were a trend in the 90s. Btw this came out 1990.

[@keifermark]

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.

[@maggies188]

This was a hit back in 1990. This was a def club banger!!!! Great reaction! Thanks Twon!! ❤❤

[@Iansco1]

Back when club music was not random noises.

[@theConquerersMama]

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.

[@LLgirl-nyk]

This song is fun...came out in early 90s

[@jamespalma3311]

I approve of any music with Bootsy Collins! The groove and Lady Miss Kier's energy in the vid totally makes vid 🔥🔥🔥

[@jeffklay2857]

Well its a Christmas Miracle!! Another one of my requests... I love it

[@nismith5678]

Oh yeah, I remember the fun we had dancing to this one 😊

[@karenj3611]

Impossible to sit still during this song 😂😂

[@RTDavis0503]

I was a college freshman when this came out. Danced off this like crazy. That was Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest

[@deniseriley6622]

That's Q-Tip and the Legendary ,Bootsy Collins on bass.

[@dalee72]

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.

[@arthurestrada2682]

So I was in The Navy in the early 90s. We were cutting up in the club back then 😜🤪🤩

[@Aurabora54321]

I reallllly needed to see Twon's reaction and this funky/fun/rap/jazzy/mashup video today! So hope we can get back to this cool vibe-- great musicians having fun playing together. Message is the magic. Groove is in the heart❤

[@tombernier1]

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.

[@ladyruby684]

Yes!!! Ive been hoping you'd do this one!! 🥰

[@carlos_herrera]

I hear this tune every time i'm in the supermarket. Bootsy: Watch out!

[@ericdennis3899]

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

[@shiny_dreamer]

Great song..great reaction!

[@joellamas5511]

How could you not know that bootsy collins was in your face on that bass..

[@zanohoriamazo1]

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, 👍🏾

[@lindapowers8592]

What a group!

[@rouguy1972]

You can listen to Power of love, What is love?, Good beat

[@Georgeanne17]

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.

[@traceyamarnie6105]

Loving the moves Twon😄❤

[@catschorus4684]

Interesting fact about Deee-Lite: Super DJ Dmitry is the only Russian to have a no1 Record in the U SA

[@theConquerersMama]

Wow. I didn't know that.

[@KiloBarb]

What if 1990 collided with 1969?

[@johnisabella5148]

I feel bad for the younger generation who don't know bootsy and qtip

[@BloodylocksBathory]

I love seeing people react to this song/music video because they also get introduced to the legend that is Bootsy Collins.

[@emilys3458]

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 !!

[@itmightbme]

Love! ❤❤💜

[@grandgnd]

*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.

[@jrasicmark1]

I was curious about your question about this song being in movie soundtracks, so I asked AI and it says it was in License to Wed, Charlie's Angels, and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. I've only heard of Charlie's Angels.

[@Geodelifestyles]

yes a one hit wonder but their other stuff is AMAZING!

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

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

[@robhtp3817]

Fun song to dance to at the clubs in the 90’s

[@janiemarshall7928]

Gives me the same kind of groove as, B52's - Love Shack and Rock Lobster

[@LLgirl-nyk]

Yes its was a one hit wonder...it was fun

[@randychampion184]

The group is Deee-lite, the singer Lady Ms. Kier is from Ohio

[@chrisv966]

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.

[@tylero8595]

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.

[@LLgirl-nyk]

Merry Christmas twon

[@NeyooxetuseiDreamer]

Song came out in August of 1990. These are all the youngest GenX (b 1957-1970) and oldest GenY (b 1971-1982) people!

[@ualaw77]

Lord, these generations keep getting shorter and shorter! Since when were 1971 babies part of Gen-Y? Since when did eleven years constitute a generation?

[@Triggerhippie70]

If you were a Dee Light fan, this is not a one hit wonder!

[@Ezoangelofdeath]

react to their song good beat, its got bootsy in it too

[@tealscott10]

Q-tip, not fife

[@Richardtv1968]

Who was the saxophone player?? I saw him before …

[@davidcruz8667]

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.

[@Slop_Dogg]

this song will get you moving lol

[@Geodelifestyles]

q tip! from tribe
