[AshleyBellaDonna91]

I've always wanted to skate to this song! I would love to go to a 70s themed skate party with the styles & songs...although I didnt come along until '91 and my mom was only 5 when this song came out. Good music is priceless. I love this song!

[CoolasIce2]

This is one of the best songs ever made.

[tsangpogorge]

[madmikeastoria]

Does Bootsy kick ass or what?? What a great hit to remember high school and good weed!

[YeahNigguhhh]

having another song as the intro won't stop them from removing your shit, it just means you've illegally posted 2 different tracks you don't have the copyright to.

[MeInTheCornfield]

I remember annoying the hell outta my dad when this came out!!!

[TheGetterdone]

[Rivers1334]

What's the song at the beginning?!

[EuphoricNoise]

What a funky keyboard

[Period0fAltering]

For a minute, I thought PARLIAMENT was playing that Pete Rock song. Should known, Parliament doesn't know nothin' about that kind of Jammin:P

[Retrooify]

FLASSSSSSSSHLIGHTTT !

[KeiffyDe]

Something smells real funky in here!

[5Kpro]

16 people dont understand true funk

[LMmccallL57]

Not feeling that intro. If I had been able to get to the page quicker, I'd have clicked off and missed the actual song, not knowing it was about to play.

Anyway, love this song! It's a main staple at any 70s/funk party, in my opinion.

[heyrubes007]

What's that shit before the song ???

[summersht]

Love you people all you mofo's that put this funk up on the net. This is the shiznit, the very best and the very funkiest of Parliament riight here!

[MzKarmel601]

Now these BROTHERS... need to do a REUNION TOUR. My Star Chapter is having a 70's Social this weekend and I am taking this song to JAM too. In my platforms and SUNGLASSES that look like Fearless Fly! ROCK ON!

[MysticMoodism]

Man, we skated, smoked and partied our asses off to this!!! P-Funk!! Forever!

[reverendmysticfogg]

The world NEEDS more P-FUNK!

[murraythedemonhead]

Quality tune. One of the highlights of my life up to this point was meeting George Clinton and most of Parliment outside their gig in Tripod in Dublin a few years ago.

[libear1018]

The original album jacket was great art as well. I had it framed, but it got lost in a move:-(

[trianglemangler]

Surely one of the all-time great basslines

[estyle40]

@trianglemangler As a bass-player myself, I gotta agree!! It would take me all day to come up with somethin nowhere near as good as this!!!

[mary2live]

every body has a little light ..under the sun...under the sun... watch me pop and lock... hey, ! hey, ! hey.... now watch me robot.. here we go!!!! , here we go...here we go... hey.. hey...hey!!!!!

[GoldenUrethra]

You should get rid of the Peter Rock intro. It's annoying.

[unclegusyo]

@GoldenUrethra lol you're an idiot

[swoop4632]

@GoldenUrethra I AGREE! as a child of this music..that intro SUX!!

[misternash16]

@GoldenUrethra hell no pete rock is the illest foo!

[narutoboys1]

[YungMalThaKid]

it is 2 hard resisting the funk

suuden urge 2 poplock now

[proking2]

leave off the intro - frustrating

[Granton803]

What is that little intro in the beginning?!?!?!?

[roadwarr]

The Mothership returns to Earth to reclaim the Pyramids before we get too stupid and they are destroyed. To decelerate from Funkwarp 20, so it can enter the atmosphere without completely destroying the ozone layer and wreaking havoc on the planet, the volume of output is reduced from 1 million decibels down to 110.

Yes, that's right, the Mothership is driven by FunkWave technology, far in advance of anything we have created.

[smoothmiles24]

someone needs to open a window... its funky in here

[diazazap]

What's the sample in 0,00 to O:13 ????

[MPHswayze]

Did you know that this song is massively popular in Japan and its influence can be heard in games such as Sonic the Hedgehog 3??

This **** is so funky that Japanese video game programmers love it. Amazing.

[smoothmiles24]

@MPHswayze also toe jam and earl... that is some funky music :)... but no one can beat the p-funk

[andrewruvalcaba2007]

@MPHswayze wanna know why its popular in Japan? Because Japan has a great sense of music

[xtremeiv1]

This is what my father listen to and so do i

[thehydrostore]

this funk stunk up my day

[Yoshimanssbm]

Lame, parliament replaced their bass with a synthesized bass beat. It sounds so bad and has no funky feeling. I am done.

[HARLOWETV]

@Yoshimanssbm U BUGG'N...

[bonepicker1]

@Yoshimanssbm This song was originally done with a moog synthesizer. If they'd tried to play this on a bass guitar, it wouldn't have sounded as funkstankulous ? as it does. With the bass processors today, this song could be duplicated on a bass guitar. They were ahead of their time on this, zapp, sos, and many other bands started using the moog after this.

[brahlou]

@Yoshimanssbm dumbass that is bass guitar with an envelope filter on it. basically every funk band back then used one lol

[smoothmiles24]

@brahlou your the dumb ass its done with a synthesizer... it is not an actual bass guitar... lol tard

[javi4550]

I MIGTH JUST BE 28 YEARS OLD BUT I LUV THIS MUZIK  IT's JUST 2 FUNKY SO FUNKY IT STINK.

[TheNewsoul2]

THIS SONG WOULD HIT NO.1 IN 2010 and I have been listening to this jam since 1978 when I was 12 years old, in an era where there were landmark songs, albums and singles "FLASHLIGHT" is what we call a timeless song. It never hit no.1 on the pop charts but 32 years we are still talking about this masterpiece as it were released yesterday.

[bbBassYo]

Where is the funk in 2010?!?!?!?!?! exept here offcourse!

[Andrewiimovies]

reminds me so much of mario galaxy 2

[AVAINTEX]

@Andrewiimovies  lol

[6402680]

R.I.P. Phelps "Catfish" Collins, the guitarist who put that "chink" down on this masterpiece!

[roaringchicken92]

Owwww, funk me!!

[SuperBdugan]

I wouldn't call Clinton a god, however, you're absolutely right when you said, this song never gets old. Parliament was ahead of its time with this one!

[SuperBdugan]

I wouldn't call Clinton a god, however, you're absolutely right when you said, this song never gets old. Parliament was ahead of its time this one!

[CrowdPleeza]

This may be one of the most important songs made regardless of genre. This song modernized music when you think about it. Basically this song made the use of the synthersizer popular. Any style of music that makes use of a synth sound owes it to this song. Music after 1977 would be very different without this song.

[er6789er]

Clinton is a GOD!!!!!

[GeorgeBolterJr]

George Clinton and crew will be remembered long after they pass on to the Big Funk Party in the Mothership!

[Lazygreendog]

This the song when U heard REF whistles on the floor!!!

[ddesign63]

@Lazygreendog ........hahaaaaaaaaaaaaa....Yo­u better Know it Baby! And many other groups of the Mid - Late 70's. Loved being a teen then! Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

[Netspin1]

Thanks for the claim protection. More should do it. There's no original mixing it up.

As for GENERAL FUNK - it's fundamental sledge hammer drive: puts the move at your desk, on the road, job, get down floor…smile on your face.

[ferretace]

Don't you just hate it when a thousand people remake a song and you can't find the original? Thanks irelandhiphop! You rule

[multic58]

This song sold me on funk

[Systemofaown]

Oddly enough the original members of parliment were actually james browns' backing band, who left on account of he was kind of a dick. So it could be said that parliment IS the most sampled group of all time.

[timeoffnow]

All I can say is this is " Feel Good Music". Dont matter if its 1977 or 2010!!!

[romoore14]

I love them Im 47 and a mother of 7 and I play this all the time........and my kids are loving them too!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember dancing to this long time ago !!!!And I'm still dancing to it keeps me in shape

[glitterlip]

[StormSong8]

The bass line in this song, especially the last few minutes, is so evil the entire band should be locked up!

[fooloof]

@StormSong8: blame the Minimoog.
