[vasavoirkijesui]

WHY THE HELL DID YOU PUT A LITTLE JINGLE AT THE BEGINNING AND AT THE END ???

[ChronicGod420]

@vasavoirkijesui Copyright problems. It's either that or changing the pitch/tempo. And besides, it's Pete Rock. It's dope.

[lilwizz200]

@vasavoirkijesui to avoid copyright issues

No wait... there's 131, 460 fellow funkateers!

[scweeber]

5 people here are infected with the placebo syndrome.

i'll shoot them all with the BOP GUN.

this funk is not domestically produced, it is responsive to your mood... you can score it any day of W-E-F-U-N-K wefunk HOOOO!!!!!!

[summersbr1]

Its easy to swim under water and come up dry. Just ask the wet not to be wet.....duhhhh!!!!!!!!

[MegaDragonslayer911]

Naw, when the Ailiens landed this was there first beach encounter as a family,they where still contiplating the water.Some didnt quit understand it.

[WiardvanderKooij]

Bad mutha track, makes me regret the fact that I'm white. But on the other hand, funk is universal, interracial and even interplanetary.

[HeadBangar1030]

@WiardvanderKooij improve your interplanetary funksmenship

[Nedrob2K11]

5 people need to get "Funked Up!!"

[imendizabal]

Thanks for the explanation

[cbmail007]

I tried dancing under water but I got soakin ass wet!!

[imendizabal]

The introduction added here does no justice to this classic piece

[avp0713]

@imendizabal - everyone is being forced to add an introduction otherwise the powers that be at Youtube will remove the intended song and video.

[ninjastah]

[SourAppleKandi]

My mom's song..she turns it up so loud and starts dancing. I'll admit i'll dance along.

[defcreator]

best years in p-funk 78-83 than it never was the same again

[freestyle5504]

this is the best music ever, you cant even explain how they come up with thr arrangement, this is that shit you will never get anymore. I feel for the kids that grow up with this shit they call music today.

[bonepicker1]

@freestyle5504 Brother, they could come up with this because they knew how to play real instruments back then. Plus, all that electronic stuff was new on the scene, and most of their experimentation became songs. Sadly, if I want to see true instrumentalists, I have to turn to rock music, jazz, or heavy metal. Our kids have lost their heritage in music.

[jazzzman20202000]

It's all about the FUNK!

[rin3guy]

Reached #89 in 1979. (U.S., Billboard) -- Can't believe I actually remember this.

[elder4241995]

4 people are just dumb

[gamergirl464]

@elder4241995 and devoid of funk:)

[MegaSoulSearcher]

you couldnt play this at a party nowadays. its on a different level. - dude in background with bird noises, robot voice, of course the aqua voice (drowning), just fucked up. One of their instruments was the pipe. they keep teasing you with getting the jam going then they throw in the bird man again. wow. I'm now tripping. too much

[hobbeekid]

@MegaSoulSearcher why wouldn't you play this @ a party? please explain.Whats wrong with the voice?that's one of the best aspects of this tune.It all blends in to a funky tastey music medley.What would you prefer to play ?

[GSMOKEY1977]

Only George can make music like this CAN U DIG!!!

[onebagofweed]

lil wayne don't got shizz on this.......

[ericbuchanan]

In Detroit thinking about renting a hall and throwing a dayz of wayback jam with old school classics like this with some zapp/roger, tom browne,whodini,heatwave,ojays,­tempts,cameo,etc,etc......you get the point.....think it would go over well?

[DJBiggieSpins]

@ericbuchanan Did Barry White have a perm???...HELLS YEAH, my favorite types of gigs to spin...

How did it go?

[ladeet1962]

would love to be there!!!

[LennyWeen]

@ericbuchanan

Let me know, ill fly out for that shit 

[elder4241995]

@ericbuchanan we need somthing positive like that in Detroit

[dukejah88]

@ericbuchanan - Peace, you need to do this Old school house party style. Please for the sake of the funk. Cuzn this wack ass music that they play on the radio keeps reminding me that im in hell. So maybe just knowing that old school funk is blasting at some party will raise me from this hell of pop music like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Nikki Minaj and Lil Wayne. You gotta do it Cuzn.

Peace

[ddesign63]

@dukejah88 ............if there's to be a Party.........Hit me, pleeeeeeeease! I will travel from the 718 to the 513 (or anywhere) where I am from originally! Miss the PFUNK and HATE the lack of talent today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PEACE

[paconot]

@ericbuchanan Remember back in the day on Soul Train there was dance offs between Dayton, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan dancers. 

[MrBigpapi01]

@ericbuchanan Without a doubt! That's an idea I may try here in D.C! Good Luck!!

[Mastermax345]

@ericbuchanan only one way to find out. if i was there i would be a regular.

[traceymanzano]

[ralphsneed]

The House Party days When the Clubs closed folks went to house partys like 94 Center st Roxbury Mass. Food Drink and Funkin all night long No guns no fightin just Fun

[123djblive]

@ralphsneed I hear you!! same with Norfolk park in Mattapan!!

[jfnorton1066]

As a teen ager in the French Quarter when P Funk happened the city embraced it because 1/4 of the recipe is Jazz. And, yes, Black People did acid too! Finally got to see George Clinton last year here in San Francisco, for about 5 hours, to a mostly younger crowd. I can't remember being so throughly entertained in many years. Mr Clinton shows no signs of slowing down, and neither do I! A 'P'roud Funkadelik!

[Warrenles]

This is the song from the album "Motor Booty Affair".

[skyynett999]

i got FUNKUP AT THE AGE OF 12

[JEDI7ACEN]

Was this ahead of it's time? The rhythm, sound effects, riffs, the whole concept.

With all the technological advances with music instruments (synths, keyboards and such) there is today. why most of the music today's sound like a valium addict tapping out simple beats on a casio?

Looking back, Parliment was the future.

[alohawg]

@JEDI7ACEN They still can't compare and never will.....there's so much going on in their music, it's amazing and it all works.

[rievans57]

@JEDI7ACEN When you take a live drummer and bass player and replace them with a machine and you go from audio to digital you get today's sound in music. For those who grew up when Parliament came out the change is basically a turnoff. If all you know is digital sound and machines then you have nothing to compare it to.

[JEDI7ACEN]

@rievans57 True That!

[omcgirt]

What the hell? What's with the crappy music playing before the start of Aqua Boogie? It's crappy and it's a turn off. Also if you are looking for the song and this plays at the beginning, you will think it's not the right song and move on! I disapprove of it. WTF is your motive doing this? irelandhiphop you are doing this song a detriment putting the shitty ass song before this.

[creaper587]

@omcgirt wow man chill out just a little pete rock before some serious funk nothin wrong with that take a chill p

[MrBucketBot]

@omcgirt I'm pretty sure he put that song in the beginning so that he wouldn't get a copyright claim against him for posting the song. Chill out man.

[geraldbret]

@omcgirt yeah you dont know how the world goes round

[MyNameIsNeutron]

@omcgirt While it's true that you don't disrespect Parliament, you don't disrespect Pete Rock either.

[mrbuck1188]

Parliament is funk machine! Great track!

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #1 soul, #89 pop in Billboard. Should've charter higher pop than that, right, gang? God bless!

[TottivonZuerich]

I believe in funk after death....

[MrLorenzoz]

Never learn to swim, couldn't catch the rhythm of the stroke!!! Parliament Funkadelic was funky times 10. These boys and girls were SUPER bad.....I saw them in concert at least five or more times growing up in NC. Talking about a all night party... When the mothership landed it was time to get down. This was partying at its best. Greensboro Coliseum, Charlotte Coliseum, Fayetteville NC. I was there. Man, talking about fun!!!

[therealraybaby]

R.I.P. Diaper Man. P-FUNK FOREVER!

[strong167]

I used to own the album back in the day. I got it for Christmas. Parliment Funkkadelic one of favorite groups. Anybody 40 and up should appreciate the funk!!!!!!

[chucku00]

Mary Poppins meets Timothy Leary !

[Toncapone]

[MysticSonic007]

I swear to God my dad played this while mom was pregnant with me and now im 18 and stil love it

LONG LIVE THE FUNK

GEORGE CLINTON FTW

[HispanicImpression]

Fuck you, this bass is sick. Who can one be that badass to come up with basslines like this ?

[TheGoddessliz]

I was born in 1974 so when i saw the MOTHERSHIP I was in AWE! I was only 5yrs old and I been on tha MOTHERSHIP ever since!

[USBP464]

@TheGoddessliz I saw the Mothership in 79' at the Chicago Stadium. I was 11. It was the most awesome show I've ever seen. P-Funk was way ahead of its time!

[TheGoddessliz]

off the MOTHERSHIP! HELL YEAH! I was born in 1974 I went to a concert with my mom when they came out the MOTHERSHIP! Lawd I had a good time.

[PowerWoman2009]

watching the foolish movie...now had to get this songs name and group! I should have known it was the funk

[PinkytheDiva]

I love the laugh @ 6:22 like "how many more times can I do that shit" Ok and no offense to the one who posted this one because it is the long version of one of my favorite sons, but why put Pete Rock on this song of all people? Really? I'm just sayin'.

[shyshotcaller27]

I love it! Good music always make my days smoother.

[endorphinz]

Swimming never sounded so funky! lol...

Can't catch the rhythm of the stroke...

[clokwize]

@endorphinz do the wave

[OLMEQ]

@pufunky Yeah.... Metaphysics ... The GODS.. Ain't it FUNKY Y'all...

[92bravo]

The militancy of the message of this song should not get lost in the funk. Now listen with new ears. Power to the people.

[slappy09]

I love that bass line break down at 3:51

[dnjp4life]

Mad samples off this, Snoop, Ant Banks, Thug Life the list goes on and on. Classic and catchy funk track.

[oldsmobile6]

FAQ:  Is water "wet" ?

[SupersonicMojoJojo]

@oldsmobile6 Yes

[oldsmobile6]

I was being silly. Actually SMJ, water isn't wet. You become/get wet, from being in (or making contact) with water.

[goldfangaz49]

You won't know til you get deep in it lol

[SupersonicMojoJojo]

@oldsmobile6 -Read this in the voice of Andy from Little Britain-

"Yer i know"

[deeblackat]

Need A Reminder this was Dope and is still DOPE!

[r10tee]

Pure, uncut funk at 3:49. The coldest funk of all time! A toast to the boogie! Wait.... thats the next album.........

[emisarre]

i like to swim through the water molecules and not get wet. Swim and not get wet! Who would have funk it?

[BreLovesAsians]

I remember when my parents would play parliment on their 8 tack tape. I would sing along with everybody. Now as an adult think these guys were tripping on something like LSD and wrote songs about their trips, like: Aqua Boogie, flashlight, The mothership, Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadol­oop, A toast to the Funk (funk=drugs)

[emisarre]

@BreLovesAsians lol you figured it out! Pfunk and George Clinton were ALL about drugs especially COCAINE find the song "Comin Round the Mountain"

[crysjumar1]

I'm going to go you one better....I used to play this on my 8-track PULL OUT in my Pinto wagon. Just jammin'

[yogiibear20]

[Getrealpeeps]

YEAH, I REMEMBER THIS SONG. I can't swim, eithor (NEVER LEARNED I'M AFRAID OF THE WATER,TOO (FOR REAL), but I DO DANCE :)

Sir NoseD'voidofFunk

[btinsley1]

when i was a junior in highschool, it came across the airwaves that George Clinton was coming to town (this song was out at the time). I remember all of us were wondering how he was going to pull off an "Underwater show"....

Man...that over 30 years ago....we jammed our asses off at that concert

miss you vickie, felicia, wes & bennie

[Killllla415]

"Will you shut up!" haha
