For those that don't know, "funky like 9 cans of shaving powder" most likely refers to the very pungent Magic shaving powder that some black men use. My dad used it for years. It stinks!

[uranusking]

This is the first record I ever remember buying. Loved it then, love it now. Like 9 cans of shaving powder, that's FUNKY! :)

[MsKelkelbaby]

[DJMESIAS011]

What is the name the instrument that sounds in the second 47? thanks, greetings from Spain

[fooloof]

@DJMESIAS011: The sound comes from the classic Minimoog synthesizer. The Minimoog also makes the sound beginning at 1:31, and again at 2:15.

[trojanluck88]

From Ice Cube, to AMG, to NWA.. Everybody sampled this. Just a testiment to how strong music was back then!!

[frostedhead]

THE ABSOLUTE BEST BEEN TO THEM. 40+AND THEY R FAR LOOKING BETTER THAN THE GGORILA, FRENGI TT

THANKS FOR SLEEPING WITH LUIS GUZMAN UNDERCOVER MUSLIM

[djlorenzohouston]

This is the album version, if you find the 45 single the intro is different and a little longer

[bftiger75]

Brevity is what made this tune the Bomb. I recall when it would come on at the parties, you had to make your move fast, cause a few minutes later -- the tune was OVER. Circa 1973 ... therefore you wanted more and more. The rap pre-dates George Clinton's late 70s antics.

[felixbullot]

Like if San Andreas took you here.

[GOFLuvr]

This makes me wanna climb up on the roof of the nearest building and scream "THAT'S FUNKY"!!

[nutothis1]

I understand that one of them sang with The Intrigues, noted for the song "In A Moment". I guess we will see on TVone's Unsung.

[SILENTWSDC88]

nd dis how da 90s G FUNK started! love dis track my grandpa showed me dis wen i was like 4

[Vavazelus]

This is the shizz nit. Lets see the dufus rappers today attempt to create music like this. They can not. Only good thing they are good for is stealing music and sampling songs like this. Negros artists are for the most part in Funk and Pop just losers.

[brassenine]

0:11 "say it now" De La Soul in "Me Myself and I." I remember hearing this on the radio like it was yesterday. Thanks for posting.

[naaaaaagz]

cry!

[BeckyPoC]

Did anyone else, when they were little, think "Granny" was actually an old lady?

[teamziehm1]

Badass!!! reminded me about that bag of sticky funk in the garage

[noluv2u]

The most underrated funk band of all-time! They are second to none. Alot of close seconds, but nobody is more funky.

[RidgeJaggers]

Need doubles to keep this one spinning all night!

[heckto35]

Man, this is the F-ing jam!!! Tell me is there a 12" version released? They made this one waaaaaaaayyy too short.

[Mikeyadig1095]

Gotta Love The Old School..

[ibarem]

the start of electronic music

[jonmmadison]

1:28 all day

[jonmmadison]

got this on the original 45...then remember bugging when i first heard "dopeman" (had that on vinyl too--the one with the red "NWA" letters and ghetto picture on the cover of the 12", mad jheri curls!)

[fucker661]

@DutchVillain that song is the shit. Some other ones I like with this sample are: Serial Killa from Snoop Dogg,Born to Roll by Masta Ace, and Ice Cube's Wicked.

[BulletproofGOAT]

I demand you all watch my shit video, Funky Fingers: Revenge

[fknnuttah]

[pimp5965]

[notoriousbarb]

1:27 the game sample ?

[CLEVEN11]

westcoast no.1 sample

[seoulsistah53]

This here is the shit!!!!

[Sickcouch]

the only thing wrong with this song is the fact that it's not long enough.

[WEBSTAR1271]

@Sickcouch you ain't never lied!!!lol.

[alwaysentycing]

@Sickcouch SO TRUE

[trewells]

@Sickcouch Totally agree!

[MrShakbo]

Didn't find out till recently that this song was the basis for the ghetto classic "Aint No Future In Your Frontin" by MC Breed. That song had a heavy influence on West Coast rap music which in itself was highly influential in subsequent years. Amazing the power of music.

[MrBelowzero]

Violadores del verso in Spain has sampled this theme, for a rap instrumental

[MrShakbo]

That sine wave would go on the be west coast rap musics signature sound for years, so fonkay!

[JESSIETEXAS]

for real tune....

[greatestwomanevernow]

This take me way back !!I remember at acousins bday party .all of the kids would go into a trance & start doing the wormdance like the snake in the basket

[Waisswiechmain]

hell yeah!! and lets not forget DIGITAL UNDERGROUND on SEX PACKETS... couldn't remember the name of the track but it was HUMPTY HUMP!!!

[leeannfinley420]

@Waisswiechmain It was the Humpty Dance!

[Waisswiechmain]

hell yeah & lets not forget DIGITAL UNDERGROUND on SEX PACKETS... couldn't remember the name of the track but it was HUMPTY HUMP!!!

[oldskoolmano]

there are about 30artists in hiphop who sampled the synth...basically i think this song led to the creation of G-funk Era....

[Onkojaque]

I came to get Mah Sigarettes & Liquorrrr

[makme514]

The Ohio Players are probably one of the most underrated bands from the seventies, the brass section this band employed was second to none.

[nutothis1]

@makme514 They will be featured as TVone's Unsung. Stay tuned.

[WEBSTAR1271]

@nutothis1 7/4/11 @10 p.m.

[MrOriginalGaming]

@makme514 also extremely ahead of their time

[mohinderbauer]

@makme514 It's sad that there are not popular bands now that have horn sections.

[luckynite12]

Wow, so cool.

[GRIMSREVENGE253]

Just got in my time machine for this one...CANDY I bet you know about the funky worm....LOL......GRIM.

[joshua626]

yo the bass is kicking, it just keep changin in and out.

[4i4oKrasio]

OMG!!!When 5:12 came I jizzed in my pants!

[Yout00ber1]

@4i4oKrasio there is no 5:12... -.-

[4i4oKrasio]

@Yout00ber1 Hahah.FAIL.I meant 2:15.

[abarragans]

THIS IS THE O.G. SHIT!

[TheWaynelds]

Kris Kross (Jump)

Mc Breed (Aint no future in yo frontin)

Above The Law (Black superman)

[Yout00ber1]

@TheWaynelds NWA - Dopeman, Dre made the synthesizer sound so gangsta!

[TheWaynelds]

@Yout00ber1 Yep, I didnt forget Dopeman on the list, but I think that dre sampled the synth directly from this song

[kingazeez21]

@TheWaynelds and DMX (Bugout)

[alvisloko94]

@TheWaynelds You forgot xzibit shrooms

[TheRealHipHopStation]

@TheWaynelds ice cube-ghetto bird

[TheWaynelds]

@TheRealHipHopStation I think the synth for that song was recreated and not sampled. Not positive though.

[AirXRickXJames]

@TheWaynelds You forgot Too Short- Sample The Funk

[charliehustlenflow]

@TheWaynelds vontel keep it on the real

[dafinkarnik]

@TheWaynelds Nipsey Hussle - Hussle in the House and Snoop Dogg ft DPG & RBX - Serial Killa

[TheWaynelds]

@dafinkarnik Damn I guess I missed a lot huh. lol I basically get a comment a day about a song I missed. I guess I could say The Funky Worm (Along with more bounce to the ounce) is the most sampled song for hiphop tracks.

[JusLaffin]

I just heard this on the radio... "like 9 cans of shaving powder...that's funky" ROFL!!

[rjhjcbaca]

Straight out O.G.......

[AboutMyBusiness7]

Ha! dude on the left looks like LeBron James, might be his father, are these cats from Akron Ohio.

I'm thinking that funky worm got busy with LeBron's mother

[Suckerman12]

I really don't know a place Funkier than Ohio. Most of the great funksters come from the Ohio area. Now I now there are places that is just as funky, Minn, Detroit, Atlanta, but not Funkier.

[mvann5566]

ohio players-parliment true masters of funk
