Deee-Lite "Call Me" (1994/95)

[Ginger Spice]

The final single released by Deee-Lite, taken from their album Dewdrops in the Garden. It never had a music video, but did have a physical single release and went #1 on the dance chart (their sixth #1 there). This is my favorite thing they did post-World Clique, although I liked both albums that followed.

In 2021, a YouTube user named Gabriel La Guardia created a music video for this song (not official in any way), and I thought it was worth sharing. It's heavy on the '90s and Y2K aesthetics and fits the song really well. On the Y2K note, this really sounds like something that would've come out in 1999 instead of five years earlier.

The song was remixed by Ralphi Rosario, Hani, and Method One among others. The Method One Jungle mix was also included on their remix album, and is fantastic in its own right.

The only post-1990 song I knew of Deee-Lite was "Bring Me Your Love" (the Tribal remix by DJ EFX was the preferred version the B96 mixers played on the weekend mix show as I never heard the album version back then).  I later found out that this particular song was also heard in the mixes though I didn't actually remember it.  The song is alright but nothing will top "Groove is in the Heart" and the rest of their songs from that 1990 album.
