George Clinton "flash light"

[UltraMatrix219]

[CharlesNicholson10]

Sounds like the music to a Sonic level

[manufran02]

HOW HIGH brought me here

[Livingdeadheadgirl89]

Going to see George Clinton tomorrow night! So happy!

[grizzlyfan41]

I guess 18 people forgot their flashlight......

[MalpaisLegate]

FLESH LIGHT!

[feelsoright89]

Watching the Bernie Mac show I remember hearing this song play along with other good oldies.

[MARPSTE]

george clinton is right up there with bikram choudhury

[TheCamilla51]

love it

[redpunk]

is george clinton god? or is god george clinton....

[ceromantique]

i saw george clinton for free in ottawa in 2008 or 2009 during ottawa's bluesfest in our downtown party section called the byward market. Best time of my life!!!!! i will always remember it.

[Bonzeroni]

I'm in my teens and my nutty dad introduced me to flashlight - my friends can't handle the funk!

They're wimps- one even went on a beaver boy phase - this is dangerous without parental supervision.

[rnmn1714]

@Bonzeroni

Not only is this a great comment on the funk, but if you also threw a Tim and Eric reference in there (beaver boyz) then you, sir, have submitted the greatest youtube comment ever. Period.

[Livingdeadheadgirl89]

That is a great comment!

You're awesome

@Bonzeroni

[KdogtheKing]

how doesnt this have a million views

[alfordelliott1]

this reminds me of the beginning of "Set It Off" movie

[clamburgerler]

i once saw george clinton and parliament live at a hippie fest a few years back. George was smoking crack on stage and the bass player was only wearing an oversized diaper, it may have been the acid, but that was one of the coolest shows i've ever had the privilege of attending. 

[BaadPennie]

@clamburgerler

The bass player died last june. No more diapers. tsk

[BionicGroin]

I kind of want to lead guerrillas in the local radio towers, take control of the signals, and just play this on all the frequencies for a day.

[respectmypretty]

this makes me think about an episode of the bernie mac show lmao

[deshawndre]

everybody's got a little light under the sun under the sun under the sun under the sun

[lwplwp]

According to Bernie this was the first tune he and Bootsie coordinated the keyboard and the bass....And as they say...The rest is history....

[flotuc]

crazy , good stuff!

[skinbiscuit]

*WARNING* This track is super-saturated with funk and injects the listener with 840% of the daily recommended levels of consumption. The bassline (even by itself) is so funky, that it's too much for today's pop music demographic to handle. If the weak-minded try to grasp 'all that is funk' in this groove masterpiece, their heads might explode.

[demiglace2000]

@skinbiscuit Ha ha So funking true!

[romack2]

@skinbiscuit LMAO!...Too true!

[205MRMAGIC]

[jrobinso011]

Anyone else think of Plato when they hear this song?

[TheBelva85]

@jrobinso011 this is wise man!

[LebannersHook]

@jrobinso011 I know who Plato and Socrates are but I guess I don't know much about their writings. Why does this song make you think of Plato?

[jrobinso011]

@LebannersHook In Plato's "Republic" he presents what is called the "Allegory of the Cave." He says that men's souls are like men chained in a cave facing a wall; behind them are people making shadows against the wall. Once man is freed from his chains, he learns that the shadows are only representations of the real world. The Sun is allegorical for what Plato calls "The Good." Wiki or Google "Allegory of the Cave" and "Metaphor of the Sun" for more info.

[jrobinso011]

@LebannersHook The line "Everybody's got a little light under the sun" recalls the idea that every man can be freed from the cave in order to bask in The Good. Flashlights are typically used inside of caves. I don't know if the connections to Plato is intentional or not, but I like thinking about it anyway.

[SamaelLilithsSon]

@jrobinso011 Is that were he said that thing about casting a shadow against a wall or something?I didn't go look it up but I know I'm probably way off.I read about it but never completely understood it that's why I can't remember it I guess.Could you enlighten those of us who aren't in the know?

[rodehard]

It's on my playlist. Thanks for posting!
