Talk about sensory overload...
Deee-Lite was a House and Club/Dance group formed in New York City. Their best known single is "Groove Is in the Heart", from their 1990 debut album, World Clique was an immediate smash in nightclubs "Groove Is in the Heart" crossed over to pop radio and after going to number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, it eventually hit number four on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song was accompanied by this psychedelic music video, with Deee-Lite, Rapper Q-Tip, Maceo Parker, and Bootsy Collins superimposed over a cartoonish background of various shifting shapes and colors.
Strangely I really dig the lead singer, Lady Miss Kier's moves (especially during the rap segment) and her band mates unorthodox dancing. The dude with the pony tail falls way short of being an accomplished dancer, but his maneuvers are something you just can't takes your eyes off of. FREAKY!

I actually enjoyed this song a little. Another one hit wonder, who I thought might have had some other hits in them. Can't believe this came out 18 years ago...jeez!
