So funk. Maceo Parker was in the band that James Brown fired and replaced with the all electric one with Bootsy Collins, who went on to Parliament/Funkadelic fame.
German Woman here, 58 years old... OH! MY! GOOD! Whoohoo - this is by far one of my favorite songs of all time! I remember when my friends and I were at the disco and I lost track of them that night. I was standing there alone and lost on the dance floor when this song came on. I absolutely couldn't keep my feet still and started dancing around wildly... Suddenly a handsome, young black guy ran up to me and danced with me - just as crazy and wild as I was. Very quickly we had a huge circle of spectators around us, clapping enthusiastically... The DJ played the song 5 times in a row, the young guy and I were dancing alone the whole time and having the time of our lives! I went to this disco every weekend after that - but the DJ never played a song more than once again. And for a long, long time I kept looking for my fantastic dance partner, but unfortunately never saw him again... Too bad, I would have loved to tell him how great it was for me and how much fun I had with him!
I too am 58 and I just posted a brief comment and you summed it up for me. I'm right there with you! Back then our parents said our music was crap right? I sound like my dad everyday now. Music isn't the same is it. Roller skating to anything from Little River band to this
I am a 58 yr old metal head and I have always loved this song.Takes me back to when my kids were young, best years of my life. Love Shack by B-52's is another.😍

@@adoseofjoy1 great reaction 🙌🏽 Random guy on UA-cam recommending you check out ‘Groove Armada - Superstylin’ Live at Brixton academy (that specific performance) Brilliant live band from the U.K. that are definitely worth exploring. They certainly have the ‘groove’ 😀
the albums everyone knew were beatie boys licence to ill and guns n roses appetite for destruction. then the 90s. popular music was pretty alternative back then.
I LOVE seeing people react to this song. This was so my life in the 90's and it seems like people forget about the time where 90's were doing 60's. Such a nostalgic song!
The guy with the 5-pointed Star Sunglasses (kind of a signature) he played with EVERONE! His original publicity when most/all of James Brown's band quit over pay after a long tenure and the band he was in became his band all at once. He learned from James and brought all of his knowledge forward to fertilize the music scene with each revolutionary step he made! (Not political, I do not think, at least not in public, but super culturally important!)
@@athanatic Exactly, not political upfront, but with fun fun fun....seeing him immediately brings a smile on my face and his bass playing is absoluely great. And yes, he had his time with James Brown, the J-B's, Funkadelic/Parliament, his solo stuff, the various bands he was in like Praxis, Science faktion, Sweat band, Hardware, Axiom funk.....often with Buckethead and Bill Laswell Bernie Worrell of course) he collaborated. He collaborated with an endless list of people (Herbie Hancock, Fatboy slim) and had his hand in Zapp's debut, Mico wave's album.....Bootsy's name pops up everywhere and like I said, it always means a fun time with music.
This song was released August 1990 and was getting airplay when my daughter was born. My daughter and I would dance together when it came on the radio when she was a toddler as it got lots of play for 2 years. "Again" she would giggle until she would get tired. I really like the song and miss hearing it. Daughter is 34 now and I don't see her but once every 3 years. I remind her of it and we both smile. The song is one of my favorites.
Great reaction Joy. Yes, the late 80's and early 90's was a hot time for the hippy dance-pop genre. Deee-Lite and Groove Is In The Heart was one of my favourite tunes of 1990 due to it's colourful video and catchy beats. But, did you know Joy that Deee-Lite lead vocalist Lady Miss Kier was in a battle for this era of music in 1990 with Betty Boo. If you liked this song Joy, you will also love "Betty Boo - Where Are You Baby (Original Video)" also released in 1990, a big hit with a very similar hippy dance-pop style of music, colourful video and catchy beats. 🙂
God bless you for this. Ive literally danced my skinny ass to this at the clubs. Lady Kier was a work of art. Id dance with her all night long. You look beautiful here. Even more than usual. Means your doin something right. ✌️❤️ from Ky
I was in the club scene when this came out back in the day. I still listen to all 3 albums they have. Deee-lite is truly in my top 10 favorites. Their 3rd album Dew Drops in the garden is epic.
The lead singer is Lady Miss Kier, the Asian guy is DJ Towa Tei and the dancing guy is DJ Dmitry. React to their songs I Just Want To Hear A Good Beat,Power Of Love and most of the rest of their album World Clique, Runaway and Bittersweet Lovin' please.
I remember this in high school. This a straight up party song, makes you wanna get up and dance. Some thing you might play it a wild barbecue or a house party.
i taught art for 25 years and i played music everyday...i tried playing music that kids would like but not what they have ever heard but most did not like or give a chance. they can be so programmed what they listen to. i love these reaction videos to old classics.
I remember when this came out during the UK free festival/party days. It was really popular on new age traveler sites. It was funny watching totally muntered people coming down suddenly find that extra bit of energy to dance to Dee Lite but basically end up rolling around in the mud
this song and the time felt like a turning point it's right before me and my friends started going to raves and techno clubs pop culture/music shifted and felt like our time was here (gen x) electronica, g funk rap , alt rock it was a good time
I am 58 , and it feels like just yesterday when this came out. And I remember thinking can they ever play another song on the radio other than this? Absence makes the heart grow fonder
n 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.....
This was huge when I was going to funk and soul clubs in my 20s, living in an amazing neighbourhood. And I knew an American guy who would occasionally visit our lab, who was some kind of booking agent or something for Lady Miss Kier's DJ gigs to pay rent as a graduate science student before he became a fully fledged scientist, and before I became a fully fledged non-scientist. Fun times.
This is a great song. I like 70’s hard and soft rock, I like 80’s metal, I like R&B FROM 50’s-70’s. I love prog rock and I most definitely love this song.
I just got another first time reaction video to "Groove," and the algorithm is feeding me more, now, and my deee-groovy Gen X self is entirely here for it, all day long. If you loved Groove, their third (and, sadly, last) album is just gorgeous, and pretty much every track is worth diving into. Have a look at "Stay in Bed, Forget the Rest" from Dewdrops in the Garden.
This still has that Kitschy, Campy groove to it - acting all 'early 70s retro'. In my late sixties here, and remember this fondly - also, try OH YEAH by Yello. THE CAPTAIN OF HER HEART the Kurt Maloo release at 4 min. length - a bit jazzier and suave than the US release by Double'.
She was friends with my girlfriend and we used to go watch her perform at the Limelight(a church that became a club in Manhattan) in NY all the time and then go to the after party, that was fun times
The whole World Clique album is amazing. My other personal favorites are Power of Love, Good Beat, World Clique and for a solid bass line and sickening groove, What is Love. But like I said, the whole album is great!
48 year old ex raver here. This was one of my faves when I was a late teen into my early 20s. Listen to Dewdrops in the Graden. It's their best album! You'll especially love Picnic in the Summertime and Apple Juice Kissing
I think I was 24 when this came out. My girlfriend at the time bought it me. I have no idea why because it wasn't my kind of music but how can anyone not like it? As you say, it's just good-time music. And I love watching Lady Miss Kier dance. She can really dance. She was also a top NY club DJ. Knows her stuff.
If you like Groove is in the Heart, then I think you would like Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight. If you want to go 60s the Monkees or Donovan are really fun and usually upbeat.
I think you'll like a performance by The Fifth Dimension from a stage play called Hair. I try to listen first thing in the morning bc it's so joyful. It's Aquarius/ Let the Sunshine In.
So many big stars in this one, Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Q-Tip
So funk. Maceo Parker was in the band that James Brown fired and replaced with the all electric one with Bootsy Collins, who went on to Parliament/Funkadelic fame.
I'm in my 60s.
It was like a Christmas present🎉
It's still too exciting✨👍✨
To name all three
Bootsy was just in the video the Bass line is a sample
Not to mention the Herbie sample. ✌🏼❤

Same. I'm a classic rock guy. Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Guns & Roses, etc., but I love that whole album that this song comes from.
Word up, if you catch my drift.
Yay, Amiga motherboard model b52 with “Love Shack” hand engraved.

This song is the exact moment the 80s became the 90s.
You couldn't have explained it any better! 😊
The exact moment the 30 year nostalgia cycle clicked over to late 60s-early 70s
100%
Agreed, I was there.
Wow.. thats actually.. true
At last, someone who doesn't stop every ten seconds to say something! 👍

Brilliant live band from the U.K. that are definitely worth exploring. They certainly have the ‘groove’ 😀
If you look real close you'll see a young RuPaul in the background.
I am 51 here in Netherlands, this was a bop back in the day EVERYBODY loved it ☺♥ TY for bringing back the groove in my heart
the albums everyone knew were beatie boys licence to ill and guns n roses appetite for destruction. then the 90s. popular music was pretty alternative back then.
An oldie but Goodie ❗🎵🔥. We would pack the dancefloor when this JAM CAME ON😊
This song is probably the one that makes the best reaction videos on the INTERNET.
I LOVE seeing people react to this song. This was so my life in the 90's and it seems like people forget about the time where 90's were doing 60's. Such a nostalgic song!
2:49 "Horton Hears a Who"
I remember when this song came out and I first heard that line. It still gets me every time lol
The whole album is great...love getting to see you discovering such a great song from my youth
All of Deee-Lite’s albums are great! Especially “Infinity Within” (2nd album)
Thanks for the reaction! Lady Kier and her musical friends started or simply added to the early 90's dance club scene. It was the most fun time
ANYTHING Bootsy has/had his hands in is worth listening!!!

Love Shack by the B-52s, same time period, 1990. Another party/dance song, a HUGE hit.
The amount of times ive danced to this the 90s club is a lot
God bless you for this. Ive literally danced my skinny ass to this at the clubs. Lady Kier was a work of art. Id dance with her all night long. You look beautiful here. Even more than usual. Means your doin something right. ✌️❤️ from Ky
Too fun 💕 groove IS in the heart 😊
When I was 16, this video taught me how to dance in nightclubs. I still dance like this 34 years later!
I was in the club scene when this came out back in the day. I still listen to all 3 albums they have. Deee-lite is truly in my top 10 favorites. Their 3rd album Dew Drops in the garden is epic.
I’ve watched this video a hundred times and it just hit me now that the visuals remind me of an adult Dr Seuss party. 😂
Lady Miss Keir!!! Still makes my heart skip a beat after all these years.
The lead singer is Lady Miss Kier, the Asian guy is DJ Towa Tei and the dancing guy is DJ Dmitry.
React to their songs I Just Want To Hear A Good Beat,Power Of Love and most of the rest of their album World Clique, Runaway and Bittersweet Lovin' please.
This was a banger of a banger in its day and it sounds timeless !
Back when going out to the club was actually fun!
Just sayin' - "I do deeply dig" your vibe. Thank you.
'90s finest!
Don't worry, most people don't know the music they listen to, or hear should I say. I've heard it a thousand times.
Wow! That lady sure has some moves.

Towa Tei is one of the most slept on producers of the last 30 years.
THANK YOU! YOU REACTION!!!😀😀😀🤘🤘🤘
This is probably the only song besides "September" that I have no choice but to start dancing when I hear it.
this song and the time felt like a turning point it's right before me and my friends started going to raves and techno clubs pop culture/music shifted and felt like our time was here (gen x) electronica, g funk rap , alt rock it was a good time
How can someone not love this?
"Good Beat" and "Deee-Lite Theme" are two other great tracks, but all three albums are full of fantastic music.
Those white tights lived rent free in my young teenage brain when this song dropped back in the day
Iconic song and vocals
Gotta try The KLF
The 90s was a magical time.
Thanks for your positivity, you're great 👍👍
That was very cool! Reminds me of some of the chit we had in the 60s.
How can one not love this song.

A big reminder... some music is just for fun! .
We need that back. Remember Starlight by Supermen Lovers? 🤗
This song always defined who could dance versus who thought they could dance. Because, groove is in the heart....
A dose of joy sums you up, girl! I **LOVED** your reaction. You make me wish I was young again - THANKS!
The album this song comes from, "World Clique" is 💯% fire.🔥
I wanna hear a good beat is one of my favorites.
"Who was that" is incredible, Too bad so many people haven't been curious enough to enjoy this funky masterpiece.
@@chucku00 someone creeping quiet as a mouse.
This MV is such a trip! My favourite tracks alongside this masterpiece have always been Power of Love, Call Me, What Is Love and Thank You Everyday🩷🎧🎶

I read a comment once which I very much agree with.. This video was the moment the '90's started 😂
I still Have Their Album. I Just Liked and Subscribed. ✌
That's Bootsy Collins with the bass. 🤘🏾🤩 Try Bootsy "Disciples of funk" around 1990. It was om MTV at the same time as Deee-Lite. Funky!!
Love how you were smiling all the way through
This is my karaoke song.... Groove is the heaaaaaaartt.....eeaaaaaah
Lady Miss Kir is a Diva!! Met them in Atlanta when I lived there in the late 80's. Check out B 52's

Love ur good vibes…you will go far! 👍👍👍
VOIDRAKER SAYS YES ❤
70s 80s 90s it was a groovy time
In my teenage top 3!
This is one of the funkiest tracks of all time by a country mile
63 and my kids grew up dancing to this with me in the lyrics I sing room. When they left it's been whatever little dog I had. 😂
“Dose of Joy”. Totally correct video to watch.
48 year old ex raver here. This was one of my faves when I was a late teen into my early 20s. Listen to Dewdrops in the Graden. It's their best album! You'll especially love Picnic in the Summertime and Apple Juice Kissing
looking at you, and b/c you favor her, I REALLY want you to check out MC Lyte's "Paper Thin." if you don't already know it, I think it'd be your vibe.
Groove is in the heart?? I always thought it was Groove is in the house! 😂
I heard 30 years ago. Still groovy. :)
Still a favorite banger....
There is no way you I cannot hear this song and need to no compelled to get up and dance. ❤

"we're gonna groove to HORTON HEARS A WHO' - that's the kinda of party I want to be at
Her dance is awesome !
and MACEO PARKER just casually walks in blowing his horn
Starry Eyed Surprise by Paul Oakenfold is another track to check out.
If you like Groove is in the Heart, then I think you would like Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight. If you want to go 60s the Monkees or Donovan are really fun and usually upbeat.
I think you'll like a performance by The Fifth Dimension from a stage play called Hair. I try to listen first thing in the morning bc it's so joyful. It's Aquarius/ Let the Sunshine In.
Liked and subscribed.
90s were the best years for clubbing. Clubs in Atlanta were off the hook.
another song very much like this in that it is fun and a party is 'love shack' by the b-52s.
You might like to try Nenah Cherry - Buffalo Stance, and Betty Boo - Where Are You Baby? Jessie Jay - Who's Laughing Now
She was a fashion designer who was drafted into a band based on her look
this was major smash when this came out... you heard of Q TIP rapping though
