Parliament Funkadelic - Dr. Funkenstein - Mothership Connection - Houston 1976

[bubbadoodle64]

you gotta love peoples lack of caring about anything back then. I mean one of the guitarists was wearing a freaking diaper. If this video isnt the embodiment of funk i dont know what is

[dbspaceoditty]

@bubbadoodle64 they got the idea for there stage outfits because they showed up a gig way back in the day around the beatles time when you wore a band outfit or uniform. they didnt have any of that crap so they went into the wardrobe room and grabbed some random ass shit and went on stage. when asked what they where doing they say. we have outfits, who said they had to match? real fucking ground breakerrs man. fucking epic. and yes, diaper was his idea, he stuck with it.

[AliYourBrother]

@dbspaceoditty He stuck with the diaper, or the diaper stuck with him????

[BigBlackRod]

….as the millenia progressed….

The legions of the KNIGHTS OF FUNKADELICA released their stranglehold on the thoroughly pimpslapped POOPCULTURE OF SHAMERICA; backed by the might of the second generation of THE INITIATE, Cont...

[murice11]

THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE CLARK SISTERS'S SONG "OVERDOSE OF THE HOLY GHOST" lol lol I see where Twinkie Clark got this from.

[JayNJayShow]

"It's Your Life" -- Too Short

"Bitches 2" -- Ice T

Just a COUPLE of songs that feature samples from this timeless classic.

[ra208849]

the funkiest ever

[kiaba360]

How many alter-egos does G. Clinton have?

[MrCrisssykes]

you have to give in order to receieve.  funk is nonprofit. top office robin the bro from hood made the profits, you digg. mind your wants, because someone is out there that wants your mind

[mccalliog66]

P Funk the DNA of hip hop

[stretchluv]

@mccalliog66 Right on. Dr. Funkenstein told us he would clone himself over and over and hip hop is nothing but a clone. Hell, I'm a clone too.

[scr1bbl3r909]

[notamillionare]

Anyone think it might be innapropriate to play parliament/funkadelic at a wedding?

[Marcus538]

@notamillionare certainly not it should be compulsory,

[prezas13]

@notamillionare i imagine the day i'll do this!

[camster64]

Great stuff everyone's there , Horny Horns , Brides and the funk mob.

[odeskoo]

..."we love 2 fonk a stein!"

[ladycat629]

Does anyone remember the live album where the AUDIENCE sang the lyrics to this song? It was POWERFUL and I am looking for that one.

[camster64]

@ladycat629 Probably P-funk Earth Tour 77. Should be able to buy album/cd if not send me a msg.

[mantas68]

These guys are way to cool, slick, and funky to be human. No way they came from any of our earthly gene pools. This be some nasty shit!!! Me love it long time!

[Aberlour]

If this doesn't look like fun to you, you might want to see a doctor about having the stick removed from your ass.

[88948895611499]

@Aberlour thats a good one!! hahahaha :D i might have to borrow that from you lol!!

[Kycomputer93]

[AliYourBrother]

@j955 George Clinton had millions of funkiest songs!

[fnkdrmmr]

I can't get enough of this nasty funk...

[JoeJacari]

@DONNIMETROPOLIS313

I didn't invent the term "Ghetto Metal" to describe Parliament, a black man did.

As far as "racist" goes, it takes one to know one. In other words, you're a typical left-wing, extremist looking for racists under every pillow.

Shut up. As you can see, people dig my comment. Go read the "Communist Manifesto" you left-wing, "thought police," teacher's pet, fascist fear-monger!

[heckto35]

@JoeJacari I'm not siding anyone, but it does not take a racist to know one.

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@JoeJacari take that shit to the reasons i cant stand that the president of the most powerful nation on the planet is a black man page, this page is about the FUNK. people who dug it are just as dumb as you are buddy. now let the funk hit you where the good lord split you. if you aint gonna get it on, take your dead ass home.

[KristoLaptalo]

[polishedbre]

OMG! It's going on a year already. I miss Garry! funk in peace! There will never be another like you and Parliament-Funkadelic! One of the greatest bands of all time!

[RikJamezBich]

@polishedbre Well said. They had the church influence, as well as the trippy 60's rock. They might even be the best ever.

[gahrzahk]

They must have used Infra-red cameras to cut through all the cannabis haze in filming this mother.

[jody808]

one of the best high concept, stage shows during the 70s

[BIZBANGA12]

NOBODY FUNKS LIK DIS!!!!!!!!!

[sda1225]

"We love to funk u FUNKENSTEIN, your funk is da best, take my body, give it a mind 2 funk wit da rest, hit me wit da 1 and then, if u like, hit me again, we luv 2 FUNK-A-STEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!"

[beatlesbassboy]

these guys are so funky, they speak in morse code to animals and they can dig it

[TheNegro1422]

These motherfucker were NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YouPubeist]

There was a documentary on the funk on the BBC and apparently the drinks Bailey's from a show and has a mangina.

[FelchBelcher]

One of my Jr. high school buddy's dad HAD THIS RECORD and I swear to George Clinton they were a family of rednecks...

[picure]

I love it how they go so overboard with everything. Thats how funk should really be haha

[LauraAmiga]

Funktastic!

[godzillaswalkman]

all that is good, is nasty

[zcguitar]

how could you say the god parents of funk are cookie cutter funk?

[supar2100]

funk + scifi = MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION!!!!!!!

[JoeJacari]

This is like the ghetto answer to Zappa...

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@JoeJacari what an asshole thing to say, thats like someone saying Zappa was the trailer trash answer to PFunk Music which proceeded his career by many years. Do your homework son. how dare you make a racist statement like that. because its a primarily black band theyre referred to as ghetto? ... ghetto? Trust me, Zappa would kick your ass for being so ignorant.

[Darkness2181]

@JoeJacari the funky* answer to Zappa...

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@JoeJacari Zappa was a Ghetto answer to Parliament Funkadelic. Do your Homework.

[Kingofold2112]

@JoeJacari

Answer? He was the question...

[Marcus538]

@JoeJacari or the other way round probably

[BigBlackRod]

@JoeJacari No, Joe; Zappa answered to Dr. Funkenstein...PEACE.

[DONNIMETROPOLIS313]

@BigBlackRod teach

[SoulbassJr]

@JoeJacari well said

[ladycat629]

PURE FUNK!!!!!!!!!!!

[craigmusic1707]

Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva. Love them. Sexy funk.

[craigmusic1707]

Chillies gets down in their own style...who wants cookie cutter funk?

[abcrane]

Clinton is God or I'm an atheist...and I ain't talkin about no BillyBob!

[scnappesoutofit]

I have a super-sexually charged crush on this, instant favourite

[tygerman64]

they just don't make music like that any more ! it does not get any better that.

[falconing101]

I can barely even fathom how awesome this is

[FelchBelcher]

@falconing101 THIS funk is so damn FAR OUT there is no POSSIBLE way that it can be comprehended, even using differential equations....

example: "All that is good is naaasty. Lady be my dog and I'll be your tree, and you can pee on me."

[boxcarchris]

filthy. positively filthy.

[Spaniggles]

I grew up on Funkadelic and Clinton produced some ablums for the Chili Peppers. They were highly influenced by Clinton, make no mistake about.

They say the bigga tha head-ache the bigger tha pill baby!!

[hankaaron1961]

Red Hot Chili Peppers are just a modern version of the Pat Boones of the '50s.

[1thedrummerman]

Whoever said the chilli puppys version is better is not a real p funker!

[lolo831]

@1thedrummerman thats a very sad and disturbing statement for anyone to make

[Spaniggles]

@1thedrummerman

Straight up!!! This is the real man....chilli peppers are who they are because of Funkadelic...!!

[elknutsch]

@1thedrummerman the peppers made it their own.

This one is just funk, chili peppers are punk funk.

Both versions are amazing.

[harmonicmenace]

@1thedrummerman .....u got that right; they must be one of the CHILDREN OF PRODUCTON!

[aigmeyer]

@1thedrummerman It's not better it's different, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers all admire George Clinton and P-Funk

[Zatoichiswordman]

@aigmeyer

you must be really dumb, George Clinton is way more skilled, he moved millions, flea is nothing more than a plague on what me call bass playing, a gimmick and nothing more

[aigmeyer]

@Zatoichiswordman cool

[aigmeyer]

@Zatoichiswordman not to mention I don't give a shit

[pimhond]

@Zatoichiswordman Fuck off. George Clinton is brilliant,. I agree with you on that. But Flea is a god and a great skilled bass player and songwriter. People like you who say these things are plague's.

[davidgoodlettmusic]

@pimhond Flea is a nice bass player, but he can't funk with with Bootsy or especially Cordell Mosson. Read his discography--unfunkwitable!!!

[k0stil]

@1thedrummerman

chill out dude.

they recorded an album with george and george loves them

[TheJor97]

@1thedrummerman They did an alright job but not better :)

[MXZCharlie]

i like the chili peppers version better.

[milltown357]

@MXZCharlie You must be high.

[mugen441]

@milltown357 he must be not so high

[SoulIsTheGoal]

We love to funk you Funkenstein... awww yeah...

[kiddfunkadelic]

bootsy was on his solo tour at this time. cordell "boogie' mosson was their bass player for this tour and many after. he currently plays guitar for george clinton and the p-funk all stars. funk awaayyyy!

[Spaniggles]

Yeah that's Clinton no doubt...Bootsy is up in there somewhere I believe. I think Bootsy had to have joined the group by that time. Maseo is up in there blowin....love this version of DR. Funkenstein over the LP

[lanawonders]

cool.....

[lidlekitty]

Bootsy is a bad ass!

[billyjacc]

@lidlekitty Uh.., yeah Bootsy is but that's not him that's George " Dr. Funkenstien" Clinton
