Synopsis

Mya, Blackstreet, Mase, and Blinky Blink perform inside a colorful live-action version of the Pickles family's home. Mya moves through Tommy's bedroom and plays across an oversized xylophone, while Blackstreet sing in the kitchen. Mase and Blinky Blink appear with the Reptar Wagon against footage from The Rugrats Movie. The video opens and closes with Angelica watching the performance on television, connecting the adult performers to the animated world that inspired the song.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was released in October 1998 as a promotional tie-in to The Rugrats Movie, which opened in the United States on November 20, 1998.

• Its set recreates the Pickles house as a live-action environment rather than placing the performers inside fully animated scenes.

• The oversized xylophone gag references the opening music of the original Rugrats television theme.

• "Take Me There" incorporates the Rugrats theme, written by Mark Mothersbaugh, into Teddy Riley's R&B and pop-rap production.

• Blackstreet were reportedly brought into the soundtrack project because Nickelodeon regarded them as its favorite R&B group. Teddy Riley then added Mya and Mase to broaden the song's appeal, with Blinky Blink joining the collaboration.

• Mya later said the recording was completed in one day, with children visiting the studio and responding to the song's familiar Rugrats connection.

• The single reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a No. 1 hit in New Zealand. It also appeared on Blackstreet's 1999 album Finally in a revised form.
