Honestly, how many find this song incredibly joyful???

The rapper was Q Tip from Tribe Called Quest. The space man bass player was Bootsie Collins from Parliament-Funkadelic and the sax player was Maceo Parker who played for James Brown. The singer is Kier Kirby from New York, the DJ's are from Russia and japan. Classic tune and video.

In 1992 when i was at a house party that was going on next door to my house, I still had my work clothes on, a pretty girl asked me to dance with her when they played this song and we we were both 20 years old when we danced together. Fast forward 30 years , 3 kids out of college, 8 grandchildren and my wife and I are inseparable. All because if this song we danced to when we fist met all those years ago.

This one still holds up, like, 30 years later. It filled dance floors all through my teens in most of the 1990s, and beyond. It is still such an outstanding tune that you can never tire of. Awesome reaction.

You couldn’t go to a party in the 90s without hearing this. Even if the music was rock or metal or house or rap all night, you were going to hear this before the end of the night.

You *_HAD_* to put it (and some others) on, if you didn't want the ladies to get bored and leave. I was at a bangin' party in Hollywood an ex of mine had invited me to, in one of Rudolph Valentino's old apartment buildings, maybe 2003. She also had some HS friends from back in Atlanta who she invited out. The party started really rockin' when the hostess put on a dance playlist including stuff from *_Speakerboxx/The Love Below_* from _Outkast._ This was also part of that playlist. By the time _The Way You Move_ came up, All the girls were dancing, some were making out while dancing (most of them were rolling). Just right where you wanna be-the room just cookin'! Then her drunk, numbskull, hesher friends commandeered the audio system, plugged in one of their iPods, and started playing The (fucking) new White Stripes album. Instant wet blanket. More like a spiritual cloud of rancid Sour Cream & Onion dip descended on the room. All the dancing stopped, and the ladies sat down, started checking the time, and talking about how late it was. I went over, ripped the connector out of the iPod, put the groovy music back on from the laptop. Instant fix. Her friend came up to confront me about his iPod, and I handed it to him, saying "Seriously-You do that again, and I'm smashing this fucking thing down onto the courtyard floor, and you'll be next." Never seen a bigger couple of clueless numbnuts at a party.

The groove in this is basically irresistible. One of the greatest party songs ever made.

I recently heard an interview with Bootsy Collins, and he said George Clinton was very skeptical of him playing with this group. Bootsy asked him to come to a show, and George went and agreed it was fantastic

1990 is officially in the house! Lol I was 17 when this song came out, my sister played this song everyday after school in her room! Lol

Lady Miss Kier was actually born in Youngstown, Ohio. She met Super DJ Dmitry, a Russian emigre, in New York City and the two first started performing as Deee-Lite in the gay clubs of NYC in 1986 before Japanese Jungle DJ Towa "Towa" Tei joined them in 1988. They were the subject of a massive bidding war by the record labels to sign them. "Groove is in the Heart" was their biggest hit from the funk-inspired gold record "World Clique", but they released three albums of original material with many of the singles charting high on the dance charts. Their sound gradually became more electronic on1994's "Dewdrops in the Garden," having added DJ Ani (On-e) Schempf to their lineup. "Dewdrops" is now widely heralded as a rave culture classic. All three still deejay around the world today under their individual monikers, but each insist there will sadly never be a reunion.

This was like the pinnacle of '90's good time music, Bootsy makes it legit funk and puts it over the top...that hook tho!

She dances like I do on house clean up day. Its just me, myself and I. Thats why my house never gets cleaned. haha! Fun song!

I was 22 when this song was popular. It would pack the dance floor. That's a great memory 👍

Did you recognize Bootsy Collins from Parliament Funkadelic? This came out in 1990 and was very popular when it came out

Lady Miss Kier is American, born in Youngstown Ohio. Lived in Pittsburgh, Virginia Beach, and DC. before moving to NYC at aged 17 to study fashion but dropped out right away to do her own stuff.

One of my favorites! Lady Miss Kier taught me all my dance moves 🍄

In the early 90's there was a lot of influence from the music and fashion of the 60's and 70's. You also get that with Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way" but more in the rock genre of those era's. I will tell you from my experience that in the 90's there were store up and down Melrose Ave selling male platforms and those bright yellow sunglasses. I was in Jr. High when this song came out and whether it was a school dance or a house party... if you wanted to get the party started, this was the song you would play.

The Bootsy Collins bass line drives the groove.

i LOVE seeing you guys appreciate and enjoy some retro music that was an anthem of my time in the clubs - late 80's / early 90's. We turned it all the way up too. The song brought you joy - the way it brought us joy..

In 1990 _this_ was the song that lit any room up. Even if the club was empty, the bartenders would hit the dance floor. It`s just impossible to sit still listening to this. Even now, 33 years later. I remember in the late 80s- early 90s that many groups took on the psychedelic 60s vibe that this video has. It died off pretty quickly when grunge became mainstream, but Living Color, The B 52`s, Lenny Kravitz, The Black Crowes, Deee-Lite, Whale etc was all into the 60s and 70s back then. The 90s was basically the 70s in a new wrap.

I hope you know that’s Bootsy Collins on the Bass. The inventor of Funk. Bassplayer for James Brown.

This album is called “World Clique.” Enough said.

Do you recognize Bootsy Collins on the bass guitar with the funky glasses.? William bootsy Collins. He's to play with Parliament, George Clinton and Funkadelic and them. Then he came out with his own album.

This was an amazing song when it came out. It's such a shame this band was a one hit wonder. Lady Miss Kier is the lead singer. She was born in New York City, and she still has a website with her newer music and her fashions for purchase. She's one of a kind.

This what was the world should be about everyone from every background was dancing having fun when l was growing up.....what happened

This song is great.. This is a running joke between me and my brother. We use to play it all kill the time just to drive my mom crazy. Now at 47, every time either he or I hear it we send it to each other and of course to my Mom.. Shout out to my Okie fam.

And the bass-line hook to this tune is a sample from a Herbie Hancock tune from a 60's soundtrack to a movie, tune was called 'Bring Down The Birds'. They slowed it down and played it in a different key for this, Bootsy replayed the bass line. They are both great tunes.

You mentioned George Clinton - that was Bootsy Collins, also of Parliament-Funkadelic (shout out to my phone for auto-populating Funkadelic). Bootsy is still going strong - he made a few appearances on that Silk Sonic album.

Banger reaction, thank you. The whole record smashes. It was the first cassette tape I ever wore completely out and had to replace (shout out to my 1981 Datsun 210 I drove when I was 20). Front to back, every damn track on that album just destroys.

That had 60s, 70s and 80s vibes!

I like how when the rapper's head was shown in all four corners, they adjusted the sound of his voice coming from different places.

This was released in 1990 but could be from the 2000’s, it still sounds so fresh and you never bore of it. From London, UK

The biggest star (In more ways than one) in this Video is bass player Bootsy Collins, with his star shaped bass and glasses. As others pointed out, he didn't actually played on this song as its bass line was sampled from a Herbie Hancock song called "Bring down the birds" So what makes Bootsy Collins such a big deal? - First of all, he INVENTED the funk, when playing with none other than JAMES BROWN. That's Bootsy playing bass on "Sex machine", "Cold sweat" and "Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud" - After leaving James Brown, he started working with George Clinton, who urged him to bring the bass out as a solo instrument, he was one of the very first bass players using effects on his sound. So, yeah Bootsy Collins isn't just a big deal, he's THE big deal.

She's from France. The 2 dj's are from Japan and Russia. Bass player is Bootsy Collins. Rapper -Q-TIP

y’all should definitely react to their track called power of love!

Q-Tip is so amazing and this feature of his holds a special place in my heart for my own reasons. I did a lot of SingStar battles during drinking nights with a friend of mine. Well, many friends but one in particular was always very competitive and good at any song on that came up. I could hold my own and stay level with her, or even beat her on a few to her chagrin, including the the Dee-Lite parts of this but as soon as Q-Tip came in I was lost and she raced ahead on points to an unsurpassable lead. I miss her (My friend) so much. RIP Kaja.
