"Good Vibrations" is a 1991 dance song by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
"Good Vibrations" was written by Amir "MC SPICE" Shakir, a good friend of Donnie Wahlberg. The rapper/songwriter also wrote and produced "Wild Side" for Mark Wahlberg's debut LP as well as three other songs. Spice is featured on the song "Peace" with Mark and the crew and has contributed to the second LP by the Hollywood film star.
It has no connection to the Beach Boys song of the same title. The song includes portions of Loleatta Holloway's track "Love Sensation" ; she is credited as a featured artist on this single. "Good Vibrations" is the only number one song for both Marky Mark and Loleatta Holloway.
It was included in the 1992 hit Disney movie, The Mighty Ducks, as well as the 1999 movie Analyze This. In 2007, the song was used in Blades of Glory during a routine by the characters Stranz and Fairchild.
