I'm 61 now, and I will always be grooving to this till I die. In fact, I thin k I will have to tell my nephew to play this at my funeral, so I can have Bootsie Collins there at least.... Marvellous
Okay this is special because you've got Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest...but you also have 3 legendary musicians who all played together in both James Brown's band AND Parliament Funkadelic: Maceo Parker (sax), Fred Wesley (trombone) & bass player Bootsy Collins. Although 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 played by Ron Carter. The whole song is pretty much made of samples from really obscure songs (including the slide whistle).
It’s impossible to explain how big of a club banger this was in 1991…. They bridged the gap between House music and Eurodance which exploded to usher in the Nineties….
I was an aspiring actress in NYC when this song came out in 1990..I waited tables, yes the stereotype lol, at a place across the street from the Limelight club on 6th ave...I got to know the doorpeople who would let me in without waiting in that humiliating line outside. This song was all the rage back then and I remember people dressing like Lady Kier etc. The Limelight was something else..as soon as you walked thru those church doors..(It was in a former church built in the 1840s) you could be whoever and whatever you wanted...it was quite a place...ah youth!!
There is a current commercial on TV right now the uses "I couldn't ask to another"...heard it about 10 times while watching Golden Globes. This song would get people out on the dancefloor in 1990....
Although there was quite a bit of innovation in the 1980's, the 1990's were the golden age of music videos in quality and experimentation. There is NO LIMIT to the amount of hatred we Gen Xers have for the reality-MTV that started appearing in the mid-90's.
Preach…and now it looks like it may no longer exist as its one if the Paramount channels they are trying to dump. They would get more viewers if they just played all music videos again. Imagine that, what a concept.
Bootsy.. ( Even tho twasn't him on bazz...) Oh well. What is Love, live is also great. As well as Who was that studio I think Bootsy played with one JB & one JH... So his voice is enough in it eh?
Such a groove.✨ I don't know, but I think Bootsy is the model for this emoji 🤩 Anyway JOHN SLOP... Here's your new intro song😎 "Cosmic slop", Funkadelic, 1973. Official music video: ua-cam.com/video/FsIqDxssLYg/v-deo.htmlsi=5zGAl8Wpc0GcpdkD
I remember being so sick of this song when hearing it at a roof top party in late 1990 because it had been played to death on MTV and in the dance clubs. Now it's fond nostalgia but I still like their other hit a bit better, Good Beat, but to each their own. ua-cam.com/video/lP55r5CDjI8/v-deo.html
House music started in the 70's and really peaked in the late 80's/early 90's when it crossed over to the mainstream (there were a couple of tracks that got mainstream attention in the mid-80's, but around 1988 is really when it blew up outside Chicago), so this song was at least two years behind the curve and isn't really House music in any meaningful way IMO. It has some clear House influences, but I'd argue that it's mostly Funk and Hip-hop. House music had a big effect on 90's and post-90's dance and dance-pop that has lasted into the present day and this song was definitely one of the first mainstream radio songs that showed off that influence but it's not House music itself.
@@markissleepy i can get on board with that. true, this isnt, necessarily House (heavy influences, though), it dove into that Groove mentality that current artists like Jungle also have.
I wonder if this is some sort of remaster, the way the voice stands out, with this somewhat unmusical clarity, that sounds too modern, doesn't seem like a production from the early 90s to me but I don't know this one well enough to remember if it was always like that.

Groove is in the heart
Maceo Parker would eventually find his way in Prince's band.

that was q-tip from a tribe called quest rapping.
It's impossible not the dance in your chair when this song comes on.

Love this tune you cant help but move to the groove As fun as they come
Timeless jam.❤
She best dancer ever ❤
Fun song. I saw them live at the 94 Woodstock, on a little side stage at about 4:00 am.
I was there too.
Saw this on MTV when it first came out
DIG
Talk about a mash up of genres, that really works. Endlessly gooooood
This song is the only one I dance to at a wedding. Ive heard it 10,000 times but it still works at parties
This is mint ..im a headbanging arse..this is a one off masterpiece ❤
Awesome club tune!
bought this when it came out. whimsy plus an eternal bass line makes for a cool time tested song.
I was waiting for how long it would take for you to say “oh I recognize this!”
There is a current commercial on TV right now the uses "I couldn't ask to another"...heard it about 10 times while watching Golden Globes. This song would get people out on the dancefloor in 1990....
Great dance music.
Love this song!

If this comes on in the club, your legs just take over and get you on the dance floor. Even if you don't usually dance..
“Flo go mow da lawn”
Their “groove I do deeply dig”
Q-tip (and TCQ) just got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Good job identifying Bootsie Collins.
Just had to comment about my happiness when you recognized Bootsy.
Your groove I do deeply dig , lol Nice one.
Classic! Boosy and all! My Ex hubby interviewed bootsy on Radio he is a cool dude,
I was a 26 yr old gay man when this came out.
Dance floors got very crowded when this
most fabulous track was played.🌟
The rap part is by qtip. The bassist is bootsy collins.
So fun !! My hs days
I love Bootsy - I'm a bassist, and his, "on the one's" was a huge thing for me that made my playing a lot more powerful...
This probably means nothing to millennials, but that there is Bootsy Collins on bass.
Fun song.
If this doesn't want to make you dance, you need to see a doctor.
Loved this with a side of black eyed peas and butter beans butter beans
The majority of the song is built on samples of ‘Get Up’ by Vernon Burch.
41st definitely got people on the dance floor....
Bootsy..
( Even tho twasn't him on bazz...)
Oh well.
What is Love,
live is also great.
As well as
Who was that studio
I think Bootsy played with one JB
& one JH... So his voice is enough in it eh?
Such a groove.✨
I don't know, but I think Bootsy is the model for this emoji 🤩

this song & Soul ll Soull's "Back to Life" were pivotal songs that brought on the House movement of the 90s
House music started in the 70's and really peaked in the late 80's/early 90's when it crossed over to the mainstream (there were a couple of tracks that got mainstream attention in the mid-80's, but around 1988 is really when it blew up outside Chicago), so this song was at least two years behind the curve and isn't really House music in any meaningful way IMO.
