parliament - give up the funk

[camisetasurfo]

39 people needs to goe FUnK themselves :S

[umusuuk]

It's really gonna suck if people start thinking the Glee version is better. You know, all power ot that show, it has a wide range of style and an alright plot, but fucking hell, have some respect for the classics.

[jamietherooster]

@umusuuk people will think that because they only see what they see , they are brainwashed into not knowing real talent , shoamoaaaan muther

SUPERGROOVALISTICPROSIFUNKSTIC­ATION



[TheJaninei]

37 people had no funk to begin with!

[Rabshakeh9]

Funk - the secret language of the original baseheads. Those who got the funk also got the sweet smellin moist stuff that came with the funk. Some folks call them girls.

[MrVerncoleman]

[smuck06]

[RootbrianRocksAgain]

Our band played this in memory of a dear friend who passed.

[Afrojoeable]

funk da funk

[pilincardet07]

gotta bring the funk back damn it

[fierrote]

The title of this video and song is wrong. The name of the song is "Tear The Roof Off The Sucker" not "Give Up The Funk"

[crazyjames95]

The funk is a living creature about the size of a medicine ball and covered in teats. It came from outer space and landed on Bootsy Collins' house. At this time Bootsy was just a simple farmer. He tool a look at all those tities and lost his mind. He began to milk the funk and made himself a funkshake. He began to feel fizzy inside and passed out. When he came too baby he was slappin' the bass!

[gio54337]

this is the real funk

[MadMupp]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn thats funky

[jdhj25]

These are some Bad Mothers

[pyrosies66613]

[rashida7777]

There really was a mothership?!! What in h*ll were they smoklin' lol!

[DJHENRYPAUL1]

Classic FOREVER!!!

[Turn2God4Hope]

Parliament is a TRIP--has anyone ever made Church-Funk music!

Check out this song entitled--GOD IS GOOD EVEN IF

Just Enter: mark behrens (in the search field)THANKS.

[dominicanachula15]

[Reactiv12]

This has got to be the earliest and nearest thing to modern day hip-hop...rap...

[SameOldFunk]

Please give us our daily funk, we needs it, we wants it! Parliament for ever!

[metodex]

[boxingin]

Funk has got to be the goovies music ever.

[ilikemthick49]

these kids don't no what good music today,i like hip hop rap like everyone else but they don't have no talent they rap about stupid stuff,there aint nothin 2 attract u 2 the song everything is done on pc now there no origianilty,no imagination.like everything else these days these kids have even gotten lazy n there music.we need some funk somethin with a beat to make u wanna get up & party not something the radio stations no suck & push down down our throats till we like the sorry song.

[SvenDansk7]

@ilikemthick49 Quit the negativity. If YouTube existed in the 1970's people would be hating on funk music. If YouTube existed in the 1960's people would be hating on the Beatles. Let's just enjoy the music that's at hand and forget about whatever music sounds like crap to us in 2011. Because who knows- music could get a lot worse in the future! :P

[unitedsense]

natural groove,i think so.

feel the for free love.

[fanofalotofthings]

We are playing this for pep band right now! It is so much fun!

[maggotmaggie08]

@fanofalotofthings We're playing this song and other funky songs in marching band this year and so far, we've got ones (meaning the best) in marching competitions!

[fanofalotofthings]

@maggotmaggie08 We don't have marching competitions. We just play at homecoming and before the home games for sports. It is lots of fun! I just found out not too long ago we used to have pep band playoffs! I don't know why we still don't do that, but I am determined to find out! haha We would rock! =D

[NickyLess]

I've got this amazing song and two shows in my head :S Mighty Boosh and Glee haha!

[4lifeMetallicaFan]

[MrFrozenVomit]

glee can suck my balls

[TADapling]

and on the 7th day the Lord did not rest...no, he brang the funk. and his name was george clinton

[Debrabe1957]

Funk, Funk, Funk all day and night, this was my crew. Just downright funky for real! Concerts were off the chain back then, whew! This is it!!! Real Funky Music. That Bass is just nasty, lowdown nasty!!!!

[DABEARS1088]

saw them in77. iwas the only white boy at that concert. i had a great time

[Timmyfunk1]

@DABEARS1088-Unlike most white folks at the time, you showed class and dedication with regards to Funk and Black music. Fly on soldier!

[funkedbyinjection]

@Timmyfunk1 How would you know? You were surprised that someone white knew them as far back as 1968. You egotistical toad. If it weren't for the underground people, the hippies, they wouldn't have lasted this long. Black folks didn't want to be bothered with their music--"the devil's music". Listen to ALL of GC's interviews. He tells it just like I told you years ago.

[Timmyfunk1]

@funkedbyinjection-Look, you want to engage in immature name calling, I can do it right back, you disease ridden half-assed groupie. Black folks put the gold and platinum albums on the walls of long standing band members, not that so-called underground. Once again, you hear only what you want to hear. Nevermind the fact that my comments weren't even directed towards you. I think it would be to your benefit to stay out of other people's business and go about your merrry way.

[funkedbyinjection]

@Timmyfunk1 disease ridden half-assed groupie?  wth are you? a male groupie. worse, a male groupie who doesn't know what he's talking about. a phony archivist who gets on people's nerves. you're still mad because Eddie wanted me, and not you! Black folks put the gold and platinum albums on the walls? Think fans in Europe had anything to do with it? Probably never crossed your narrow little mind. Twit.
