Having yet another a hit in the song "Wildside", the group experienced massive success with 'Music for the People'. The album ended up being certified as platinum by the RIAA. Still, the group appeared to have peaked too early, and subsequent releases failed to meet expectations. It would only be a few years before the Funky Bunch went from just getting started to breaking up.
Mark Wahlberg went on to become a successful actor in movies such as 'Boogie Nights', 'The Italian Job', 'Max Payne', and many others. Mark's brother, Donnie Wahlberg, kept his musical career going by being a part of the pop group New Kids on the Block, and he also became a successful actor as the years went by. The work of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch remain popular among many fans and have been included in numerous multi-artist compilation albums.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you feel it, baby?
I can too
Come on swing it
Come on swing it
Come on swing it
Come on swing it
One, two, three
Now we come to the pay off
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
Yo, it's about that time
To bring forth the rhythm and the rhyme
I'm a get mine so get yours
I wanna see sweat comin' out your pores
On the house tip is how I'm swinging this
Strictly hip hop, boy, I ain't singing this
Bringing this to the entire nation
Black, white, red, brown
Feel the vibration
Come on, come on
Feel it, feel it
Feel the vibration
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
The vibrations good like Sunkist
Many wanna know who done this
Marky Mark and I'm here to move you
Rhymes will groove you
And I'm here to prove to you
That we can party on the positive side
And pump positive vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation
So feel the vibration
Come on, come on
Feel it, feel it
Feel the vibration
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
Donnie D break it down
Donnie D's on the back up
Drug free, so put the crack up
No need for speed
I'm anti D-R-U-G-G-I-E
My body is healthy
My rhymes makes me wealthy
And the Funky Bunch helps me
To bring you a show with no intoxication
So, come on, feel the vibration
Yeah
Can you feel it, baby?
I can too
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
Now the time has come for you to get up
The rest had you fed up but yo I won't let up
On the rhythm and rhyme that's designed to
Make your behind move to what I'm inclined to
Pure hip hop, no sell out
If you ain't in it to win it
Then get the hell out
I command you to dance
I wanna see motivation
So, come on now, feel the vibration
It's such a good vibration
Come on, come on, come on
It's such a sweet sensation
Feel it, feel it
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation (feel the vibration)
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation
It's such a good vibration
It's such a sweet sensation

Laughing bc he blinded an Asian man in a hate crime and settled the lawsuit but the fave he says black white brown and red, doesn’t mention any other. Fuck it he doesn’t say yellow, makes me laugh considering it’s a song about good vibes , as he’s climbing an Asian man who will never see ever again

If it wasn't for Loleatta Holloway this song would not have been as huge. She was a massive vocal powerhouse
@zigglb
i am just listening now for the first time in decades to hear "Marky Mark" and i forgot there even was a rap vocal line XD
@raegibson3066
no one could sing like her but ppl used to try to make fun of it and try to sing that high. she apparently was not paid well and not shown live since back then image was everything.
@katkat8216
She is the whole song
