Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart! Where did this come from...

[@inspiredfunkmark]

This was such a club tune when it first hit in the UK. Still a party classic..

[@llevets]

There was a moment in 1990 when the fashion and music took heavy influence from the late 60s, this is the theme song of that moment. For a brief moment in the clubs, the fashionistas would dress like this and strut their stuff. This reaction was one of your best!

[@susanjohnston8267]

Yeah, Austin Powers, B52s Love Shack and The Flintstones.

[@hipsville]

Soho Hippy Chick...

[@oregonchick76]

The 1990s were just wild. Not only was there a 1960s movement, there was also a strong swing era throwback with 1940s-style music that also helped vault some Ska bands into the Top 40 for a hot minute (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, etc.). I remember a GAP ad with a bunch of models swing dancing in their khakis, plus the movie Swingers was obviously from this period... So strange but so fun.

[@scudz323]

I remember everyone wearing The Doors t-shirts in high school in the '90s.

[@Teresaisall]

Going to write the same thing. 80’s was 50-60’s influence. 90’s was 60-70. That’s 70’s show. Deelite flower power bell bottoms and hair.

[@SpacePoodle]

It is said that this song marks the exact point in time when the 80s became the 90s.

Keep on movin' was truly influential. Back to Life as a single was a remix of the original album acapella.

YES! Ms Caron Wheeler, if I rightly remember... One of my personal fave songs!

[@OceanluvOC]

I’m a Gen X and I danced my butt off to this song at clubs & parties! Still a great funky fun song! Classic ❤👏🏼

[@barangstyle]

I paid a DJ in Juarez, Mexico to play this song in 1996.

[@laraismyname821]

Yep you've got Q-Tip. PLUS Maceo Parker (sax), Fred Wesley (trombone) & bass player Bootsy Collins who all played together in both James Brown's band AND Parliament Funkadelic: Bootsy doesn't actually play the bass on this song he just provides guest vocals. The bass line is a sample from Herbie Hancock's song "Bring Down the Birds" originally performed by bass legend Ron Carter. Most of this song is sampled from some really obscure places (even the slide whistle).

these guys were at all the jazz festivals back in the 90s.. they played shows with Parliament , Grace Jones, Pattie laBelle ,Prince and Pharcyde. The singer is Lady Ms Kier a DJ and producer ,she has alot of friends in the funk, jazz community, thats why her n bootsie teamed up on this one.

[@nathanclarke2777]

During the 90's a ton of people started doing 60's throw back stuff! And Deee-lite was a huge group in that mix!

[@mynameisfen]

I was there, can confirm dressing like a hip hop hippie was the vibe in 1990. Lilac Chuck Taylor's, a floral NAF NAF t-shirt, flared jeans and a bucket hat was my uniform. I blame De La Soul and the non-GMO weed. One of my favourite tunes of all time.

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

I saw a comment on another reaction to this song that it marks the exact moment when the '80s turned into the '90s...and I can't think of a better description for this classic! It pulled in some retro images and fashions from the '60s-'70s era, threw in a great dance beat, some funk, rap, guest appearances, and mixed it all up...with slide whistles. If you ever watched the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" there's a scene where Barney dances with Robin to this song at Punchy's wedding, and it's a fantastic dance scene!

[@nantzlynn77]

I was working at a clothes shop named “Rave” and this song was on one of the prerecorded tapes. Still one of my favorite songs, because it always gave me a much needed lift in my day.

[@11GalleryATV]

Dude, I'm a METAL HEAD and I have always dug this song, and that girl can move! Groove is in the heart for reals ... Fun fact: I thought she said "Groover's in the House", for the longest time ... lol

This song is still as fire as it was when it first came out when I was in college. Plus you've got Miss Lady Kier, Q-Tip, Bootsy Collins and a Herbie Hancock undergroove. Come on, man - it doesn't get better than this for a dance song.

HOW have you not heard this my man?! 😂 Still sounds just as good as it ever did too

[@Wise-Lady-La-Aura]

Parliament-Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins provided guest vocals, and the rap is provided by Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest. When this song came out in 1990, I was young and we all danced to this at our parties! This would get people up and dancing, baby. To add some perspective, and to be perfectly honest, I didn’t know what she was saying. Actually, no one else knew , either, and no one cared, because it didn’t even matter. This was 1990, before Google came along. It’s such a lively dance and party vibe! It was years later when we figured out she was saying “Groove is in the heart.” 😆 I’m gonna Google it and see what the lead singer, the lovely Lady Miss Kier is doing now, 34 years later. Funny how time flies.

Kierin Magenta Kirby (born August 15, 1963), known professionally as Lady Miss Kier, is an American singer, songwriter and DJ. Lady Miss Kier was the vocalist for the band Deee-Lite. She is a social, environmental, and human rights activist.

[@emilys3458]

In 1990 when this was released I was an aspiring actress in NYC and waited tables in a restaurant basically next to the Limelight club on 6th ave and 20th street. I got to know the doorpeople and could get in without waiting in that humiliating line...THIS song was all the rage, as was the club drug ecstasy. Deee-lite is the groups name and the name of the girl is Lady Miss Kier. That scene in the beginning with all the people dancing was how a lot of the club goers dressed back then. When you walked through those church doors of the Limelight (It was in a former church built in the mid 1800s) you could be whatever and whoever you wanted to be with no judgmement.....it was a simply wonderful place and this song takes me back to those wonderful days of my younger years when ANYTHING seemed possible.....
