Yeah cool, summer 1990 when I turned 15. Absolute classic. If I recall, it was denied UK top spot by Elton John's Sacrifice. And maybe one other song. Boo.
I’m 60 next month, and I still have many of these 12” records, in mint condition. I would put my vinyl straight on to tape, and never touch the record again. They literally still smell of the 80s.
I love this. We must be twins! I really REALLY look after my vinyl. It's nearly all from the 80s and early 90s, but I have over 15,000 now and I will soon need to extend the place!
@@LostwaveObsessionAh yes, I too no longer live in a house but live within a storage container for my collections that is climate controlled and coated windows to block out uv as to reduce light damage to album covers and what not.
The smell of a newly bought record was the best! I still can smell it. This Album was my last record I bought. I still have it, and I will never give it away...
So I was working at a supermarket last year and this song came on over the radio. It was literally the first time in my life I ever saw everyone dancing/humming/singing along to the same song. Such a beautiful sight.
This and paula Abdul (straight up)will get any person around 38 years old going. We remember roller skates with axels, cuz we had roller rinks with arcades in our childhoods. Tho they were at the ass end of a wonderful time called the '80s. Which i was born a bit to late to get to really enjoy ('83).
I've always thought this was the most "1999-ish" song of the early 90s that ever was recorded......this sounds and has the aesthetic of the type of stuff that was popular by the Millenium. Even the video manages to not look like it is 1990.
I was 8 or 9 blasting this in my bedroom after receiving my first radio as a gift. This was one of the first ever songs that I found by myself that I really liked. This and The B-52s - Love Shack, which were both playing on the radio around the same time
I met her at a rave. I was so f'd up I didn't realize it was her. I remember she was on stage singing and I was in front of her staring. She shook my hand and called her friend over and said " you're cute" . It's one of my fondest memories of my youth. I wonder if she remembers me. You know? Kinda like when random life moments pop into your head and you vaguely remember a stranger or acquaintance. I know she wouldn't remember me like some core memory. Anyway, I'm rambling on. I ❤Dee lite!
Tower Tei, Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker...this song is over flowing with talent....then Q-tip in the bridge , this couldn't fail. This song covers best of 1960s gogo dancing, rnb and funk, then adds 1990s breaks, the intro even touches on ASMR. Masterpiece!!
@@GoldwaterB correct. the bass line was played by ron carter on the herbie hancock track titled 'bring down the birds'. the majority of the song is sampled, even the slide whistle.
Such a Dee-Lightful Journey!!! Then and now all we have is Dee-Groove. Dee-Groove feels the same, Dee-GROOVE is NOW. Dee-Heart still holds Dee-Groove! Allow myself to be and I am, Dee-Groovy!
There are some songs that transcend the effects of time and generation. Few songs stand tall above the others. This is one of them! Always a trip, always hip, gotta get up and groove, every time!
I've seriously been looking for this song for years. I remembered it from when I was a kid I finally looked up "trippy 90s music videos" and found it :D
She used to be a guest list girl at The Tunnel, Limelight, and Nells in NYC back in the late 80s till early 90s. Next thing I know I was watching her on MTV. She is amazing. Brings back great memories!
No matter the mood, the situation, or outfit, "Groove Is in The Heart". This song is classic and will forever live as best dance track of all times. Danke Dee-Lite, for showing us how.
I love this song. I am 42 and I just showed it to my 17 year old daughter. This song and video always brightened my mood. This woman’s style is awesome and the video is so quirky and original. Music should move you! A shout out to all my brothers and sisters from the 90’s. When we used to pass notes in school before cellphones. When we all used the excuse that we didn’t have a quarter for the pay phone to call our parents. When we spent summers watching music videos on Mtv, when Mtv actually just played music videos. We are older now and life is still beautiful. We all shared that generation together. Much love to everyone!
I was just 23 when this song came out, it still grooves to this day. I'm stuck in a time warp and I really miss the late 80's and early 90's music. I wish artists would make songs like this again.
I'm 27 and let me tell you its amazing this kind of music is amazing!! My whole family raised me with bands like led zeppelin Johnny Cash the animals all sorts of good classic music and the music nowadays days well I agree its not great but we all have to give every artist a chance at something :) peace and love from Canada 🇨🇦
@@Talisguy I recall the time. I don't recall thinking the track sounded dated. My point is, the track still sounds totally fresh. There would still be a race to the dancefloor on the right night to dance to this. They have used fashion from various era's in the video and they still look fabulous in 2021.

I still smile whenever this randomly comes on the radio. What a great track, I'm not really one for pop music usually but... I dunno, the groove is just too good.
Yup. They managed to get Bootsy Collins and Q Tip for this track. That's an accomplishment in itself. Made for an unusually funky and unique track at the time. I really can't think of anything else quite like it.
My jam! Takes me back to being a kid! I remember watching the video and loving their bold and colorful style and the psychedelic background. This song will NEVER get old! ❤
my dad who passed away got me an ipod when i was like 10 years old and downloaded this song onto it saying just trust me you NEED this song i was like ummm ok and I never thought i could cry to this song but i am
You lady, your father was a authentic and genuine MAN. I say this without even knowing him because what he did when he gave you that i pod says alot about the man he was and the love he had for you. Wow, my heart goes out to you. Remeber him always and he will always be there with you.
What is not perfect in this song? The groove? The drums? The magnificant and legendary Bootsy? Or the gorgeous dancing and vocals...there is even a reference to Jimi...I dig it ! Groove is in the heart definately...
At the age of 41 finally I have come to the point to appreciate this track. For unknown reason this song takes me back to the 80's (and early 90's) where my heart belongs.
I’ve always thought that this was timeless. So way before it’s time. Never ages. So good more than 30 years later…come on not many songs can sound so ageless.
it's not before it's time at all, it's retrospective - a throw-back to 60s psychedelia. if you mean it's genius, I agree!! It might be timeless, though....But it uses the past, it's rooted in it.
This was the song back in the day! I was obsessed with this video and how DeeeLite had that 60's style infused into their songs.This song is pure gold! 🙌❤
Early 90s were more of a rejection of this kind of polished music in favor of the grunge style. If this would have been made in the late 90s it would have taken off.
@@9some In my experience, Superstition, By Stevie Wonder gets people on the floor. And as cheesy as it seems, so does The Humpty Dance, by Digital Underground.
I’ve always loved Deee-Lite but was blown away when Lady Kier sent me a direct message on Twitter in response to an art project I did. Her words were so meaningful & still can’t believe it. She & Deee-Lite have inspired me to pursue my passion for music & I’m glad I did.
Not really. Was spinning this in early 89 but. This was the pump up the jam marrs stuff kicking around. Good mixes..good decade ...80s. Early 90s..shit dosnt get like this anymore.
This whole video is a massive 60's throwback. Pretty much like everything else in the 90's. The 90's were a repeat of the swinging sixties (particularly in the U.K.), I can remember it well. It was a magical time to come of age.
I went to a carnival as a kid and won a game, my prize? This album. At first I was like...never heard of em but went home to listen to it and loved their vibe and diversity. This was my favorite song on it. Still love it.
@th it's not healthy to harbor hate my fellow human. Diversity is a beautiful thing. How can one appreciate the difference in any thing if it is all the same? It would be as if the world was a boring blank canvas. Diversity is the art on that canvas.
Still is a hit bro! You're totally right, nearly ³0 years old and just effortlessly throws a grenade in every time someone dusts it off....... Will forever be an arse shaker lol 😆😉Xx
did you know it was rumored that one of the Funkadelics was on this song maybe that could account for the ahead of its time nature if this is true I would surely think that's the reason of course new flavor makes a big difference as well but an old master knows things
Not really ahead of it's time so much as it's timeless...Bootsy Collins (the dude who talks at the end...legendary bass player for the James Brown band) co-wrote and played on this (as did Herby Hancock)...it's got a 60s feel, yet this was a big hit in the 90s (and could be a hit even today, like you said).
The 60's, 70's, 80's, & 90's all in one song! What a classic!!!!! ❤❤
Very accurate.
Quite right!
Lady Miss Kier is the goddess of the Gateway of Time, she opened the Door of the Decade!

Her dance moves are so cool.
Groove is most definitely in the heart. Especially after half a bottle of whiskey. LOCKDOWN BABY
Sadie Hillyard heeeey! I heard that! Love Whiskey!
hell yah sadie
Tequila! Eryday
Yeap
A nice, single malt Scotch... \m/ (:o)
Q-Tip's rap cameo was the icing on an otherwise already perfect concoction.
IKR, a true OG like Q-Tip on a crazy dance song makes it just awesome
Tip is a god
Yup. They managed to get Bootsy Collins and Q Tip for this track. That's an accomplishment in itself. Made for an unusually funky and unique track at the time. I really can't think of anything else quite like it.
@@justdope1963 not only those two but the JB horns also... Fred Wesley and maceo Parker.
@@justdope1963 B-52's give me a similar vibe. Not sound wise but just aesthetically
My jam! Takes me back to being a kid! I remember watching the video and loving their bold and colorful style and the psychedelic background. This song will NEVER get old! ❤
This is when music WAS good!!!!
Still fresh and even hipper then when it came out.. This will be cool forever
my dad who passed away got me an ipod when i was like 10 years old and downloaded this song onto it saying just trust me you NEED this song i was like ummm ok and I never thought i could cry to this song but i am
💞
One love. Peace
You lady, your father was a authentic and genuine MAN. I say this without even knowing him because what he did when he gave you that i pod says alot about the man he was and the love he had for you. Wow, my heart goes out to you. Remeber him always and he will always be there with you.
I have tears reading your comment.. so sorry ☹️ I have to say your dad had the best taste in music ❤️
@@Hoodhistorian562 ❤️
This song is so unique.. You got funk /rap and disco... On a whole other level... ✌️
Fantastic
What is not perfect in this song? The groove? The drums? The magnificant and legendary Bootsy? Or the gorgeous dancing and vocals...there is even a reference to Jimi...I dig it ! Groove is in the heart definately...
For me it starts at the moment she dances at 02:42
Don't forget the Dr. Suess reference as well----Horton Hears The Who.
Deee-Lite DOMINATED the airwaves in the early 90s. What Is Love was another hit. Instant classics the minute they launched.
What is love was by haddaway
At the age of 41 finally I have come to the point to appreciate this track. For unknown reason this song takes me back to the 80's (and early 90's) where my heart belongs.
At 42 it takes me back to the 90's and high school dances.
I think ill take a seat here with my fellow 40 year olds on the nostalgia train.
Same here, this was just normal radio music back then. For some reason it just clicked and I’m rediscovering how cool 90’s music was. Class of ‘97!
And I used to hate this song! Now I tolerate it. My life was a crap... my life is still a crap, but, at least I was young, slim and never got tired.
90’s i dont remember????
We was trippin it away 😂🤷🏼♂️
But i do remember this song!
Im 53… BTW
Perfection🔥🔥🔥
I’ve always thought that this was timeless. So way before it’s time. Never ages. So good more than 30 years later…come on not many songs can sound so ageless.
It ALWAYS gets people moving ✨
Shake your ass Kathryn ivison
it's not before it's time at all, it's retrospective - a throw-back to 60s psychedelia. if you mean it's genius, I agree!! It might be timeless, though....But it uses the past, it's rooted in it.
"Not many songs can sounds so ageless" could be a line in this song.
This is one of those songs that just never gets old. :) ❤️
1990: Groovy
1960: Groovy
2024: Groovy
2367: Still Groovy
The groove is never gonna stop (Groove is in the heart)
I died 5 years ago and I'm still grooving. Although it's a little tight in this coffin.
2024 I'm 60 yrs old n still groovin 💃
Bruce Campbell: Groovy
@GinaMFlorida YOU GO!!! GOD BLESS YA😊✝️🙏🤗I'm not too far behind you...I turned 55 just this past 5/15😌🤭!! We ARE the 'MTV GENERATION '
2024 still an amazing track
This was the song back in the day! I was obsessed with this video and how DeeeLite had that 60's style infused into their songs.This song is pure gold! 🙌❤
Сказано в точку,,чувак привет из Украины, 🇺🇦 над просто быть отчаянным и слушать этот шедевр
This is some track
I cant get how she did not become a bigger star. the music is so much fun.
Because she never sold her soul
Early 90s were more of a rejection of this kind of polished music in favor of the grunge style. If this would have been made in the late 90s it would have taken off.
@@anthonydelfino6171 great point. I agree.
@Boi people like her? What was she a Nazi? Please, it's not that serious. Go find a hobby.
@@jamesway It's called heroin. Don't ever start.
NYC in the 90's was so cool and this song always reminds me of those days.
SittinPretty 💯
The 90s?? lol when was the Greatest city in the world ever NOT cool

@Beelzebub 666 ..That sounds stupid
The slide whistle was a stroke of genius
Sobe so be yourself
Robin and Barney's dance is legendary!
This is song this really degroovy!°°!!!
When it comes to one hit wonders, I couldn't ask for another.
Far from one hit wonder
@@MONTIG369 yep, Dee-Lite is pretty awesome. Too bad people only listen to this one.
I had exactly the same thought!
Thanks Todd in The Shadows for getting me into them.
There best song was "what is love"
You won't believe how long I've been searching for this song.
And I found it years later by complete accident! My brain is hurting.
ahah we had the same experience !!
@@JAK0449 I spent years searching for "The slide whistle song".
I could never make out the lyrics.
Gta san Andreas radio
@@doejohn8976 That's one of my favourite game; but, I never knew it was in the game. Interesting.
@bennobenny750 honestly got me thinking if it was even on their too I feel like maybe !
Brrrrshes soo cool!
Brilliant singer, brilliant band.. we couldn't expect less...amazing tune! in 2023 and still putting people up from their chairs..
I could watch her dance for hours.
Then do it
I could dance 2 minutes cx
Tune and a half x
Ok 3 minutes. Watching her dance makes me happy
Screen saver motion activated.
As a 40+ year old dj. (Both radio, and live gig). This is one of three songs you can spin, and have everybody get up out their seat, and throw down.
hey, which are the other two, sir?
@@9some I'd go for 'Bonkers' by Dizzee Rascal...
@@9some In my experience, Superstition, By Stevie Wonder gets people on the floor. And as cheesy as it seems, so does The Humpty Dance, by Digital Underground.
ok, so those were your other two songs that you meant, @@yoyobrando9243? u didnt change them? [thanx]
@@ChiknFkR rizzle kicks get down with trumpets
That bass line...PERFECTION!!
This was on MTV back when MTV was fun to watch.
"True dat!"
When MTV was a channel to watch music videos instead of reality shows
Lembro quando a MTV estreou aqui no Brasil em 1990 . Essa música estourou nas rádios e na MTV , SAUDADES.
i woke up from a dream where i listened to this song as backround music and now i have been listening to this on repeat for at least 15hours
How that jam sound good
bruh you good?
Have the drugs worn off yet?
Get help
@@jennifermassengill1635 I did my job
This is when the 90's doing the 60's retro
They turned the 9 180 degrees.
THIS Song is one example Why Gen X Is still Groovin! Stop , Listen and Luuuuuurn !👍😁😉♥️
Gen X is the best gen.
This song always puts me in a good mood no matter what!
Me too
I’ve always loved Deee-Lite but was blown away when Lady Kier sent me a direct message on Twitter in response to an art project I did. Her words were so meaningful & still can’t believe it. She & Deee-Lite have inspired me to pursue my passion for music & I’m glad I did.
Great story!! I love to hear a nice story, especially these days. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck to you.
Wow! That sounds amazing!
Did you like what she said? May you share it?
Great story!!! She comes across as a really decent person too in interviews
This song takes me back to simpler times to a dance club named Planet Earth when music was fun.
No doubt! Clubs were soooo fun in the 90s!
Agree to that, what happend it no longer fun, it gone now.
For me,it was club time out in davie Florida on university. Good times
@@Theodor_Herzl it happens in every generation it gonna happen in 20 years too.
Just checked - Still slaps.
This came out in 1990
This is THE song that kickstarted the 90s
100% Accurate
This and Jesus Jones, but this is obviously better
Actually vogue was
Not really. Was spinning this in early 89 but. This was the pump up the jam marrs stuff kicking around. Good mixes..good decade ...80s. Early 90s..shit dosnt get like this anymore.
@@myristicina. now you know your shit...it was
This entire video is like the scene segue's for "That 70's Show".
This whole video is a massive 60's throwback. Pretty much like everything else in the 90's. The 90's were a repeat of the swinging sixties (particularly in the U.K.), I can remember it well. It was a magical time to come of age.
Lol yeah
Makes me think of Scooby-Doo
@@Samuroi *Zoinks!* 😄
I went to a carnival as a kid and won a game, my prize? This album. At first I was like...never heard of em but went home to listen to it and loved their vibe and diversity. This was my favorite song on it. Still love it.
@th it's not healthy to harbor hate my fellow human. Diversity is a beautiful thing. How can one appreciate the difference in any thing if it is all the same? It would be as if the world was a boring blank canvas. Diversity is the art on that canvas.
World Clique....Great album...
one of the best house songs ever made and especially the video which is fantastic
This song and video was miles ahead of its time. Could easily be a hit today
Still is a hit bro! You're totally right, nearly ³0 years old and just effortlessly throws a grenade in every time someone dusts it off....... Will forever be an arse shaker lol 😆😉Xx
Oh I very much agree
did you know it was rumored that one of the Funkadelics was on this song maybe that could account for the ahead of its time nature if this is true I would surely think that's the reason of course new flavor makes a big difference as well but an old master knows things
Not really ahead of it's time so much as it's timeless...Bootsy Collins (the dude who talks at the end...legendary bass player for the James Brown band) co-wrote and played on this (as did Herby Hancock)...it's got a 60s feel, yet this was a big hit in the 90s (and could be a hit even today, like you said).
Are you insane.
