[@James-StJames]

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.

[@OriginalNotNyanCat]

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!

Yes! Including the 1970s going from something the 80s were trying to get away from to something the 90s would mine for material.

Accurate!

[@hassafella]

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...

[@xLAPPUINx]

In this, we did not fail. We left a diversity off music that young artist can build from. They're listening and loving it.

Has he checked out "Buddy" from De La Soul yet?

You should check out, A Tribe Called Quest "Award Tour".

[@adamwarlock1]

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.)

[@FrostSpike]

I still love this after 30 years. Always makes me smile!

[@cirrus1976]

I just tried to do 90's dances to this to annoying my teen daughter but she pretended not to notice.

[@giggles7179]

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.

[@Travelinmatt1976]

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.

[@christopherscorner]

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!

[@jdmikeg4]

And Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker

[@cl8onj388]

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.

[@dr.westwood]

The effect you mentioned is actually an instrument called a slide whistle.

[@mistateearuba]

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

[@Thediscodude79]

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!
