[JarnBjorn72]

It used to be that DJs weren't allowed to play this song at parties because it made everyone go crazy and a fight would start!

[TheSatanas666]

since i dont live between white people no more i had forgot how unfunky most of them are LOL

[MelleBEATS]

@TheSatanas666 No bout bro, this is insane, this is just madness how bad these people can dance. madness

[remo5455]

Something about George that makes you not give a fuck!

[jassi611]

THIS IS EPIC

[804ktj]

That's David LETTERMAN"S BAND which is why the song ended on time :)

[OMGwellPWNED]

Damnit, at least un-tuck your awful polo shirt from your trousers when you're dancing to funk!

[Shizzmonger]

OH MY GOD I WISH I WAS THERE. IF I GOT TO DANCE WITH GEORGE CLINTON TO THIS SONG I WOULD SHIT MY PANTS...

[cybernex]

Snoop stole that tune!

[enjoypolydor]

@cybernex Dre and Snoop sampled it. You can't "steal" music.

[cehayes74]

P-Funk knows no color nor race, "ONE NATION UNDER A GROOVE" !!! FUNK ON PEOPLE !!!

[bmusicinoc]

When was this show aired? I know this song came out in 1979.

[Timmyfunk1]

@bmusicinoc-This performance originally aired on June 25th, 1991.

[berzirk]

HAA HAA. George just starts pulling folks down to the stage. They're looking around like, seriously? I can do that?

[MUARFA]

[HardbezProductions]

[snubbs741]

@HardbezProductions NOO PLEASE not another Not just knee Deep sample it's been donee enough times by Dr Dre himself

[HardbezProductions]

[westcoastneverdie]

[gordycox]

@westcoastneverdie  best of luck the music is a little to good to request a remix if you ask me!

[GoTransit]

respect

[theesenuttz]

i hope they'll come back to stockholm real soon! best show ive been at.

[sex6cult9revolution]

Just watched again. This is how I remember P-Funk: always a ton of fun. I realized that's Gary in the Simpsons shirt and P-Nut to his left. And I think that's Clip Payne in the tacky jean jacket with "Clu?" on it.

[potobuah15]

@sex6cult9revolution

even tho your response is 2 years old i think i have the answer.... Clip is the one wearing the blue beret hat. I'm pretty sure that's Lige Curry in the Clu? acid was jean ensemble.

[jesusfreaklol1]

awesome song

[sex6cult9revolution]

I'm guessing this is like 1985. Anyone know?

This could read like a news story headline and all:

P-FUNK PARTY TAKES OVER LETTERMAN'S STUDIO. Everyone in the house gets down with the exception of Sir Nose Dave Void of Funk.

[thrillhouseuncut]

i'm guessin more like 1993..

the backing singer has a simpsons t-shirt on

[sex6cult9revolution]

Let's compromise on 1990 - or around whenever the Simpsons first came out. George was way heavier by 1993. I saw them a lot that year and they didn't have that spunk. The outfits look really 80's, too.

[thrillhouseuncut]

ah it was 1991

i just looked it up ! :)

[sex6cult9revolution]

Wow. No shit.

I guess you can find out anything online if you look for it.

Thanks!

[JimiHfan13]

@thrillhouseuncut probably 1989

[chrispollina1]

Holy hell! PFunk TORE THAT PLACE UP! I've never seen a dance party break out on late nite TV!

[swingfoot]

George really brought music to life like no other. Listenin' to this makes me want to freak in more ways than one.

Thanks George.

[baficchio]

THE BESSSTT!!!!

[kiddfunknyc]

IS Funk not it's OWN reward?

[nazikiwe]

[danzig2288]

[Torihope]

Lemme tell ya; there's no hang ups--they're havin' a ball and supporting the music. Who cares about the dumb stuff. Beat, feet, sweet--George doesn't care; neither should we. Those folks were having a ball--and supporting the music!!!

[demiz2305]

[freein2339]

[ZamzarBob]

OH, I was born in this set. See the hair color? its smells of my face tofu! Se, in the gorilla bar, they serve this as a form of martial artists. And to think, this is so Groovy. I no this is right for me.

[wyzard214]

George at his best! The band was tight and the crown looks like they had a great time. I could'nt stop laughing or dancing. Very fun clip to watch!

[Timmyfunk1]

[monkeynoname]

I recon that EPMD sampled this one for Goldigger too, but yes De La had the bigger hit

[dumamaxx09]

i believe it was de la soul and dr dre who make the original beat: g funk intro on doggystyle & me myself & i

[FuzzyHaskins]

no, it was parliamentfunkadelics creation.

de la soul sampled the verse backing track for Me Myself and I.

[dumamaxx09]

[markcowley42]

[tresojos]

[Bloodsport1]

I remember this. David Letterman is a P Funk head. i remember when Geroge CLinton was on the Letterman's show about every month of so back in the days.

[Timmyfunk1]

Correction. Paul Schaffer is a P-Funk head, not Dave.

[modifiedcontent]

Exactly! (Why are people giving Timmyfunk1's comment thumbs down?!)

[cjames666]

True, I'm white, we're not made for it. Look at the decline of Michael Jacksons career for example. Lol.

[andyastro1]

[HispanicImpression]

Man, ist das geil...

[theshoelady]
