I am a 59yo rock metal fan but always liked this song.

Oh baby I do so love this song and I'm 71 years old. Always want to dance party

I was a DJ when this song came out and it sure filled the dance floor....

"Songs That Sound Drunk" is going to be the name of my new party songs playlist.

Absolutely love this song and the video! That Lady Kier had those moves down, she was awesome!

Something I just learned the other say completely by accident is that the "I - I - I - I" sample that hits before she sings "I couldn't dance for another" is actually the first syllable of Eva Gabor singing "I get allergic smelling hay" from the Green Acres theme song.

They were big for a minute. Pure dance music. They were intentionally extra and over the top. This was a time when we were very hungry for something unusual. They were just fun.

Shout out to Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker and Q-Tip! Check out something from Deee-Lite's album "Dewdrops in the Garden." Peace.

I don't understand not feeling like dancing when this comes on. That's just happy music. And there is a KZfaq short about where they made some sounds from. One part is from Leesa on Green Acres.

This was a dance floor jam back in the day!!! Fun memories!

Yes, it was the 90s and in Madrid we danced to this song like crazy in a club called Stella. The people were like the ones in the video. beautiful and very funny people

Q-Tip on rap duty. On bass- Bootsy Collins who played for James Brown as well as Maceo Parker on sax.

This song is pure and simple fun! 🔥🔥🔥

I think this song is in the running for the best one hit wonder ever. Its so good in many ways! A great groove, fantastic vocals and always puts you in a better mood than before.

it was a popular retro vibe in early 90s

This was such a great song when it was out. Went to several weddings jamming to this.

oh darn! you are the only reactors I have seen have any sort of negative about this song. it tends to win over even hardcore rock folks. I am surprised. it is such a mix of a really really great groove, kooky lyrics, fun rap from the early days by q-tip, bootsy collins for heaven's sake, a really great wit about it, all sorts of sounds going in all sorts of directions, and just fun fun fun. oh well. next time. thanks for posting.

Man this came out when I was in 6th grade and man I remember this at many parties

Bootsy Collins gave this the cred it needed - all good from there.

Dude, the ladies luuuuuuuuuuuv this song! Danced with hundreds of babes from 6th grade to graduation cause this song was at EVERY dance!

It's 'dance' music and it's a great dance tune!! No 'serious' interpretation or dissection necessary...

I love rock. Don't like pop. Hate dance. But, this song is something special. Tye would love this.

10:04 Nick, QTip’s bars were _always_ part of the original song. That said, an interesting reaction bc I thought you two would really enjoy it. Disappointing but it’s all good and I do appreciate ppl, in general, saying that a particular song/genre isn’t for them. Posted it often and will do it again: _everything isn’t for everybody_ . ✌🏽

This was an MTV staple back in the day.

Lol I look forward to seeing this.

This song is the exact moment the 80s became the 90s.

I was in grade 10 when this came out such memories.

If you haven't already, check out the B 52s hit Love Shack. They had a couple of others but this is their biggest and will light a 🔥under you. Do the official video if you can, it's a gas!

Get that smirk of your face....this song is timeless and epic! ❤

OMG! I just can't! This was the shit back in the day and these guy's reactions are priceless...

There’s two versions of this song. This version which has rap part and then there’s a non rap cut. Both were played on the radio but radio stations tend to play the non rap version because it’s shorter. Radio stations generally like to play short version of songs. This means that they can play more songs and commercials. Especially commercials.

OHHHH, MAN!!! I can't WAIT to watch THIS REACTION!!! :) LOVE IT!!! ENJOY, GUYS!!! HUGS!!!

This song was a huge hit back in the day. These guys were well known for their music in the rave scene.

I love this song!

I think at the time it was just different with adding in the 60s psychedelic look of the video. Don’t forget, videos were still everything back in the day. I loved it then, but just like B-52’s - Love Shack, it’s overplayed.

"We're going to dance...we're going to dance...we're going to dance...and have some fun."

Excited! Fun trippy tune 😊

Good music is good music. Period.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8CPhLSqqpneZIU.htmlsi=-y9r2PhzXJO21FTv Beyond "Groove is in the Heart," it can be argued that Deee-Lite was largely typecast by the music industry and not truly given the opportunities to have their music played on top 40 format stations in America. "Groove is in the Heart" is a rare exception and that was a top #5 hit. A huge piece of evidence that Deee-Lite was pigeon-holed into being a dance music band was that while "Groove is in the Heart" was the sole major pop hit, the group had SIX #1 songs on the dance charts in their very short five year run. It would have been interesting to see what might have happened with Deee-Lite if they got more air time on top 40 stations in America. At this point in the "one hit wonder" marathon, "Groove is in the Heart" has to lead all songs with a nearly insurmountable lead of sampling a documented 10 plus songs in just that tune. Not surprisingly, the song has been sampled nearly 60 times and covered over 10 times. Perhaps the most recognizable artist or group to cover the song was Blues Traveler in 2023. The link to the Blues Traveler cover is the link above. I'm interested to hear the guys thoughts as I'm not sure there has been a somewhat "recent" upbeat dance type song on the marathon up this point. That will definitely end with this next video. 😀

Classic!

This 72 year old loves this song!!!!

Haha! This was massive here in the UK when it came out, it's not my usual cup of tea but you can't help but love it 😂

This is pure fun!

Love love love this one! ❤

That’s Bootsy Collins from Parliment Funkadelic playing bass in the video. To me, it’s a novelty song with a cartoon like video that wasn’t really meant to be taken seriously. It had its 15 minutes when it was on heavy rotation all over MTV, then it went away and was quickly forgotten about. MTV was full of one hit wonder bands like that until MTV itself became tedious and was rendered obsolete by the internet.

In 1991, this was like a 60’s throw back! I have wonderful memories of being with my HS BF 🥵 (H. Bi**y)🤭 making out at a party. I looked like Alice Cooper afterwards because it was SO hot. Phoenix AZ. in the summer. 😂 I’m a good girl. But he was my sweetheart. Enjoy the song Ryan and Nick. And let’s see a little dancing 🕺🏻

Like a lot of music, this song brings back pleasant memories of going to clubs when I was young. Very silly, but in the right circumstances, LOTS of fun! Sorry you guys didn't get more from it.

Try “Play that Funky Music” by Wild Cherry!🤘🔥

Oh WOW... I forgot about this club tune from the 90s! Nice groove! Thanks for bringing this one back 🙂

This is a tasty club groove.

this song is one that the first couple times you hear it and you are like "wtf is this??" then you hear it a few more times and are like "OK I kind of get it" then 10 years pass and you're like "this is my jam!!"

the B-side What is love is just as great !!!

Now that's dance music!!!

This song was just a fun dance-club song.

It's always interesting to see how people perceive different songs. I love reaction videos and I love your channel and no two people have the same reaction to any song. I've seen another reaction video to this song and one person loved it and the other person just liked it. Personally, this is one of my top three favourite songs because it's so unique and catchy and a bit 'out there'. I've always loved it I love the positive vibes throughout and the rap part is the icing on the cake.

*Dances to the entire first half of the song* "This isn't for me"

if you're in the 90s, and you've heard this song at least 10 times, and each time you've heard it you're about 5 drinks into the night, it helps you appreciate the song a lot more. and DJ sampling was still relatively new and all the rage at the time. still a banger for me.

This was part of the fraternity parties play list back in 1990-1994. I couldn’t go to a party and not hear this song at least 2-3 times a weekend night. Good thing it was fun to dance to…

It was the sound of the time but really was used in dance clubs back in the day.

Bad ass song!!! ❤

It's fun!! A change of same old same old

Top 20 somg and video all time. Ok enough. Time for The Police “Driven to Tears “ combo with next song When the World is Running Down” off Zenyatta Mondatta

Love this song! I remember it coming out in 1990!

Love this song!

I like it. It, "Amuses Me"!

GREAT song. Drunk as hell on the dance floor at the York groovin' to this one back in the day!

Groove Is In The Heart makes me wish I could dance❤❤

Before anyone misstates this: Bootsy [Bootsy Collins [J.B., Funkadelic, Bootsy's Rubber Band, etc.]] DOES NOT play bass on this song!!!!!! (and "caveat": Yes. I, myself, believed this to be so, for years!!! However: it is NOT the truth. AT ALL!!! ) Bootsy's SOLE contribution is some background vocal! NO BASS, WHATSOEVER! (and: yes: I know the full story of this.)!

Loved it .1990 ...i was 22 ..

This had '70s written all over it when it came out.

Didn't know Bootsy was on this , fun video

Absolute Club banger in the day with great vocals + Q Tip & Bootsy Collins is a can’t miss.

Information Society- "What's On Your Mind"(Pure Energy)

This song never disappoints! I hear this and my soul & spirit smile! It works well everywhere you hear it! Thanks for sharing.

I love this song and the Lady Miss Kier Kirby. Fun dance song.

This is just fun and funky!!! And if your ready to party 🎉 what is a better way to start a party 🎈!!!!!! ❤😂

Pure Nostalgia!

This song rocks! ❤

Ryan & Nick the reason this song was/is so popular is cause it is 100% pure fun ! Nothing profound or musically complex , just meant to make you dance and smile for a few minutes. Mission accomplished.

Ty did the right thing staying away. It's ghastly.

Aw, come on, guys. It's a fun song and video, pure and simple. You can't be in a bad mood while watching it. Her vocals were cool, too.

So I guess groove isn't in the heart for y'all?

The whole first album is suprisingly coherent. However they went overly serious with the next album, bringing in various political subjects. The third album was more in the vein of the first, but the magic was gone with line - up changes and personal problems.

It was on my wii dance video. Very different & not my favorite. There were somethings in it I don't remember being in there too Nick. Grove is in the house & I couldn't ask for another are the best parts of the song. I think they were really trying out something different then what was out there at the time. ✌️

It's too bad you guys didn't rock with this song. I was a freshman in college when it came out and it was played everywhere!! I guess it's not for everyone!

You need to do Buffalo Stance by Nenneh Cherry. It hits on more rap and more dance, less groove, and more attitude.

Fun video and song.

If you think you are going insane...play this song and accept it.

That's pure TRIPPY 🔥 😊

This song is fn fun

This was such a fun song and she was so different than anything else that was out there at the time..danced to it big time at the clubs

It's one of my favorite videos.

Bootsy Collins yeahhh

😂 drunk song.... maybe that's the key! This was a dance club favorite and there was definitely alcohol involved 😜

IDGAF what anyone thinks. I love disco ✌🏻

Looking for an appropriate group for the April 8th eclipse? Try Timbuktu 3 and their hit from the 80s titled ‘The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades’

October ends has done it again! their new song is a masterpiece. React to it now!

😂You left the Yatch! I love this song and I would definitely Rock this on a Yatch for sure. Ryan......shocked you don't love it. This is always played in stadiums or hockey during the down time. Too much energy maybe?

You guys don't have groove in your heart! LOL

Following Deee-lite’s grooviness, here’s more with some hip hop flava: “Buffalo Stance” by Neneh Cherry 🇬🇧 🇸🇪 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gL2jhd1kubCodY0.htmlsi=2TdsaAyy1ikSgTFf
