"Take Me There" is a song by American quartet Blackstreet and singer Mya, featuring Bad Boy rappers Mase and Blinky Blink.
Blackstreet initially became involved with The Rugrats Movie (1998) and its soundtrack after finding out that they were Nickelodeon's favorite R&B group.
Looking for other ways to tap into what was popular with children, Teddy Riley enlisted the help of Mýa and Mase.
The video starts with cartoon character Angelica Pickles turning on the television to a clip of the Rugrats pulling the Reptar Wagon up a hill.
Mýa is seen in Tommy Pickles's bedroom, the members of Blackstreet are seen in the kitchen, and Mase and Blinky Blink are seen driving the Reptar Wagon against a background of a scene from the film.
The video premiered as a part of Blackstreet and Mýa's hosting of SNICK,[4][better source needed] and was directed by Luke Nola and Steve Saussey.
The Rugrats Movie soundtrack was awarded a platinum certification in the United States for selling over one million copies.
[citation needed] It was also well liked in The Clip List, making its debut on the Box Tops, and was played about 15 hours weekly on the California Music Channel (CMC).
[citation needed] Sound Tracks noted its popularity:["Take Me There"] earn[ed] the Greatest Gainer/Airplay title for its 17% increase in audience.
A remix by Big Yam using the melody of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" and a rap-less edit are helping the track make inroads on radio.
[9] A remix which samples the Jackson 5's number-one hit "I Want You Back" was issued promotionally to radio stations and was made commercially available on a CD single in the United Kingdom.
It also appears on Blackstreet's album Finally; this version omits Mase and Blinky Blink, possibly because their verses primarily revolve around the Rugrats characters.
