Funkadelic - Can You Get To That (HQ)

[MIMI88998899]

They have been rocking this out in one of those NBA commercials; I just had to come here to get the full version. Now that's the way I like it. Back in the days when music was music.

[beastley325]

@cubertt55 write... instrumentals... horrid. What kind of English did you learn?

[Metalfanmusicfan]

This song is awesome. But guess what? Sleigh Bells is also great. Come on people!!!

[droth40]

Thumbs up if Footlocker brought you here

[mrstanbmw]

They use this Jam on the New Footlocker Commerical. I just sang this song last week.

[cubertt55]

Agreed with many others they didnt want to beat funkadelic, they just admitted that they couldnt right anywhere close to as good of instramentals.

If all the rappers with horid beats still followed this ideology it wouldnt be in the dark age it is now.

[32nikral]

Rill Rill!!!!!!

[LivinNostalgia]

this drums are tight!! somebody know the name of this drums??

[MrDankLove]

"Hottest month ever"

[themaplebanned]

ugh, shut up about whether this or rill rill is better. they're both brilliant songs, and sleigh bells weren't trying to "beat" funkadelic by sampling their song. just listen to the music.

[aceinthehole1222]

This song is amazing and so is "Rill Rill" so stfu and enjoy the music.

[oscarburger]

went to watch another youtube video after this one, footlocker ad playing this song.

super confused.

[TheLoanGMan]

It's not 1975, folks. Be pleased a band in 2012 recognizes they could get a hit by sampling this song and proceeded to do so. I love Sleigh Bells and now am aware of Funkadelic because of them.

[ShaezyShae]

@TheLoanGMan Had to reply to you, because you are right on. Not sure what all the negative is towards Sleigh Bells or Funkadelic for that matter. Two similar sounding songs, with their own feel to them. For the uninformed out there if you don't know what sampling is, you might want to stop listening to some of your favorite artists. Just saying.

[andstric23]

Sleigh Bells can eat a dick

[coolestusername1234]

FOOT LOCKER

[rlv005]

both the sleigh bells and this are good. the sample of this on Rill Rill was a good take on the song, personally i feel both are good in their own light.

[trojan9610]

foot locker commercial made me want to check this song out.

[MrBrandonMedellin]

Sleigh Bells Rill

Rill

[Dillon1791]

This song makes me want pancakes...

[cucumbermelon19]

@Dillon1791 me too

[Dillon1791]

@cucumbermelon19 yeah, like them ButterMilks with that Aunt Jimema on em'.  :)

[PositiveBelle]

Love, the song' and the video.

[itsallaboutkiya]

WOAH!!! I never knew Sleigh Bells sampled them with Rill Rill ... I heard this a few minutes ago on another video, I was like wtf ...that makes me like Rill Rill more now !

[ProConProductions]

People, so what if Sleigh Bells used a sample from Funkadelic? Artists do it all the time and we should all just listen to what we think is good and not hate on either one of the songs... grow up.

[Kingrob30]

@ProConProductions Word!

[sdwhitesox]

thanks foot locker

[MaXCKY]

Everytime someone else samples a song, the original song gets a barrage of hate comments, and nobody listens to the message of the original song, and only thinks of the sample and how it was used. It's dumb, listen to the music.

[dbspaceoditty]

everybody start blowing up the slegh bells page. because we all know this was funkadelic. let the people who dont know its funk read this spam.

[IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

This song is the whole reason why "Rill Rill" is so good.

[MileyMe16]

Sleigh Bells (an artist) made a song called Rill Rill that has the same beat as this song.

[LennyWeen]

GEORGE CLiNTON IS THE MOTHERSHIP PURE UNCUT FUNKIEST OF ALL FUNK!

EDDIE HAZEL SECTARY OF STATE & STEVIE WONDER AS MINSTER OF EDUCATION!!!

ARETHRA FRANKLIN.............THE FIRST LADY!!!!

[juddz90]

@LennyWeen George Clinton screwed over the original members of P-Funk. that's why they kicked him out and he had to go create the P-Funk Allstars. Now O-P (Original P-Funk) led by Grady Thomas was the shit, though Fuzzy was kind of an ass. He ended up screwing over my uncle, just like George screwed them over.

[freaky02]

Wtf is a sleigh bell?

[danlikesmusicalot]

@freaky02 they are a noise pop duo who sampled the main groove from this track and made a very good song around it :)

[stargazer00]

die hipsters

[1stbaseddisciple]

@stargazer00 chill out man.

[HausOfJakeh]

i like both funkadelic and sleigh bells so just enjoy the music and stop your bitching.

[RubenFrankinPusslemo]

Sample my ass son

[Chancestodolak]

comments are ruining the song

[charliemac64]

@Chancestodolak quit reading the comments and read something worthwhile while listening to the music

[Chancestodolak]

if i ever was to get myself baptized I would want george clintonto be there. I pray every nite

[ImaShitOnYourTits]

Sleigh Bells shouldn't even deserve and honorable mention around this album. Seriously folks, this is FUNKADELIC. Stay solid and dig, brothers and sisters.

[Saskatchewan00]

I've always wanted to get stoned to this song but I never have...

[lietkynes65]

I had no idea anyone sampled this. One of my favorite songs for many years. You could't sample a better song in my opinion.

[mediushavoc]

FUNKADELICIOUS................­................

[tripperthe]

God DAmN! I forget how good this shit is... Fuck. I"m exploding! And so is my robot!

[learningfromthedevil]

ok first off this song is amazing, secondly stop hating on sleighbells firstly theyre not hipster u wanna see hipster go and listen to foster the people the hipsters raped them after they disovered them. the only promblem that i can c of sleighbells is that there only good song is basically the same song as this just different

[caledooper]

@learningfromthedevil what are you saying

[GiantDoucheNG]

@learningfromthedevil holy shit do you have a point

[Scrappy1138]

@learningfromthedevil The lyrics are the only thing that's different. The beat is EXACTLY the same. That's plagiarism.

[kaishaku72]

badass

[TheCaliforniaboy1]

HEY STOP SLAMMIMG SLEIGH BELLS! It was just sample in their song. We all know who was the original. DAMN! You guys are a bunch of pirahnas!

[ariel12955]

Have a heart have a heart have a..Oh wait wrong song.

[cellardoorfive]

rill rill is fucking horrible and nobody cares if you got here from it.

comparing funkadelic to sleigh bells is like comparing leonardo da vinci to the shit i took this morning.

[summerease]

SAFE MEN

[wombo2]

@swamph3n uh DUH. I mean I don't know why they'd go with a loop that is so recognizable from this song and make it poppy and repetitive and quite frankly dull when this song has so much going for it then just that riff alone

[kraig7777]

I once had a life, or rather

Life had me

[wowprogamer1]

So so good if you listen carefully ! :)

[pdlobo]

I WANT TO KNOW!!!!!

[jigs9600able]

Entourage!!!

[ciretose2]

@jigs9600able That's how I just found it too. New favorite song.

[Markthompson123]

now i see

[fede018]

i like Sleigh Bells, but there's no comparission to Funkadelic

[brianthelion79]

I like the beginning of this song, but I don’t care for the bass singer. Makes the song seem too goofy. I prefer the Sleigh Bells song better. Both great songs though. This song is the opening theme song in the movie Safe Men, by the way.

[wombo2]

I like the Sleigh Bells song until I heard this. WTF were they thinkin? Can't beat this song. soo goood

[renaud68]

@wombo2

I don't think they were trying to "beat" this song

[TWill800]

@wombo2 That's not the point of sampling they weren't trying to "beat" this song

[BelleAndTheBoy]

I can get to that. And now you know.

[hayden541]

haha not racist but... Afroturf lol :D no flaming plz

[misterdeadhead]

@hayden541 haha genious!

[AlecKronicle]

the besttttt song

[rnoka]

chasing the dragon

thanks diplo

[lonestarw0lf]

brilliant

[ahimsasunshine]

Funkadelic is the shit! Sleigh bells did good by sampling this.

[braquemar]

@LaLaGrunge Is this a hipster song? This is an honest question. I wanna know.

[braquemar]

@LaLaGrunge Is this a hipster song? This is an honest question. I wanna know.

[braquemar]

@LaLaGrunge Oh nevermind I just listened to that Ring Ring shit. I've heard it all over the place. You are on the one.

[DRAJSTEELE]

checks you signed with love and kisses later come back signed insufficient funds.......Can you get to THAT!!!

[TAYLORHWALL]

[shit311]

[BelleAndTheBoy]

I once had a life, or rather life had me...

[AndroGurl]

i think the beginning was respectively sampled by Sleigh Bells to make a just as great song.

[maclennan73]

@AndroGurl Respectfully yes, but far from 'as great'....I think .....every time it starts on the radio I hope this is going to play.

[1CDubCDub1]

Have a heart, have a heart, have a heart

Sixteen six six six like the pentagon!

[schnids1605]

@1CDubCDub1

the pentagon has 5 sides

[1CDubCDub1]

@schnids1605 my friend must have posted this... :P (he's dumb)

[Phantomicity]

@1CDubCDub1 It's actually "sixteen, six six six and I know the part" or "sixteen, six six six and you fell apart". The pentagon only has six sides!

[lzickefoose]

The greatest song ever written. Simple as that.

[Katimaci]

I Love Funkadelic!

[L0veepanicc]

SLEIGH BELLS!

[ainalovesyou]

Whats Whitney Houston doing with her head in the mud? lol

[mjjcng8958]

@ainalovesyou yeah

[k0ekjebakker]

Hell yeah I can get to that!

[mimimishima]

Well, what the funk. This is good music!

[djbullfrog69]

ooooohh...who was that? Cut that funking out!

[DrCake11]

this is my favorite song ever

what an awesome chorus!

[griecovich]

this is my favorite song ever. really.

[Nurasake]

The sleigh bells version sounds whiny and uninspired compared to this. And the bass in the sleigh bells version is just ridiculous. And I love bassy songs.

[retoryx]

this is truly... ahh fuck it this is good shit, and by shit i mean gold, and by gold i mean, me., hebxjv..., ii mea....af GOLDDDDDDDDD

[LexiGainez]

[LivingNorDying]

@LexiGainez Sleigh Bells is trash

[fedorgspsilvamma]

[asus3571]

i got/my fav song for the dry season

[VaNsLoVeR97]

i think i like the sleigh bells version better. i mean, i guess if this is your style of music, then yeah it's pretty good. but it's definitely not my style.

[theleequa]

@VaNsLoVeR97 just what i thought when i heard the sleigh bells cover:P

[Pendor42]

i wanna know

[bert111777]

"insert comment about 4 people not being able to get to that"

[snappinandtappin]

funkadelic must've used a time machine to go forward in time and sample this from sleigh bells right?

[LoveForAAR]

@snappinandtappin

no they just wish they could actually make a melody this good

[tripperthe]

less than 1% of people dislike this, that's how jammy it is. Amazing. Absolutely Killing IT.

[ThaTruthsTeacher]

How could you dislike this? Nothing but solid music. Funkadelicious :)

[sownzgr8]

Superb.

[MrTrackfreek]

ROCK ON FUNKADELIC.

[DClean]

I feel bad that I only know this riff because of a shitty pop band made up of fake Brooklynites.

[elwoop]

@DClean  i totally agree with you

[keywordLipchap]

@DClean ohhh sleigh bells :/

[hdbacote]

bomb diggidty

[DitaMomoman]

SLEIGH BELLS!

[LivReynolds]

This is amazing. You guys should check out Stone Darling's cover. :)

[shedmeat]

The Official song of Emile Heskey

[bajoink0]

so sleigh bells sampled this song? right? for "rill rill"?

[reddevilman94]

@bajoink0 rill rill / ring ring... yes they did

[sensibilium]

yes boss! I have got to that dude!

[carltonbauheimer]

that face scares the crap outa me.

[Mussili]

@carltonbauheimer Maaaaaan...are u F%#!?...n' HIGH???

This pic screams the AFRO part of me!!!!!

and IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFULl!!!!

[carltonbauheimer]

@Mussili Oh no, that pic def screams the AFRO part of me too... but its pretty scary. And not beautiful. It looks like the face one would make when a lion is eating one's lower body and one is still alive. And simultaneously giving birth. To a porcupine.

[Mussili]

@carltonbauheimer

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!

Maaaan,have u been eating too many magic funkadelic mushrooms??!!??

One Love bro!

[jjpeterson1]

A solid tune fo sure.

[Machiismo]

End the Sleigh Bells argument - covers/remixes aren't made for comparison, they are often homages and if not they are just people making new musical creations that should be judged independently of their source.

The Sleigh Bells song is excellent anyway.

[Tarius729]

@Machiismo LOL what?? cant end it on that. new musical creation?? the music was created by Funkadelic in 1971. The reason why the sleigh bells song is 'excellent' is because of this bed of music created by Funkadelic. thats why you think its so good. Funkadelic. thank george clinton.

[DidYouEatMyCoookies]

@everyone, did you really have to bring the fight here too?

[hespelledyalewitha6]

funky

[ro3DGcks]

this reminds me of school house rock :P

[thezoombini]

See them live while they're still living. One of the few that got better with age.

[genowinks]

"I recollect with mixed emotions all the good times we used to have"

[eatsleepmusic]

Ok... so I would respect Sleigh Bells a lot more if they'd come up with the backing for that track by themselves. But I'm still going to enjoy the song... and this song. And I bet there are a lot of other 20-somethings who have never heard this music who will end up picking up this album because they wondered about the origin of the Sleigh Bells sample. If Funkadelic gets the recognition/royalties they deserve, no harm done.

[hespelledyalewitha6]

@eatsleepmusic amen brother

[chrisgod1]

I want to get funked up

[yolfer]

Forget the Sleigh Bells jokes, how is this song structure any different from "Lola" by The Kinks?

[MaximusRelaximus]

@yolfer if this was (and i'm by no means admitting it is) a case of a black musician stealing from a white one, well, hey, more power to em...i would say "tit for tat" but a. "tit" is getting majorly ripped off in that exchange and b. every white rock star owes everything to blues music...this from a die-hard zep fan.

[itsturbotimeyall]

@yolfer they just both use the same blues progression which isnt uncommon. really not very similar except they are both trying to evoke the same nostalgia

[Tarius729]

@yolfer its different because its a fackin sample directly from funkadelic, not lola. and furthermore, if you cant hear a difference between the chord progression of lola and the one for can you get to that, then you really shouldnt be talking music. maybe go talk about harry potter or something.

[Tarius729]

[Leadhead444]

Sweet...now i can love two songs with the same chords!
