Anyone remember Richard Pryor doin' his Reverend bit on The Flip Wilson Show?? DAYUM that was a long way back.....but if you haven't seen that you need to look it up. Still hilarious now.
@bigdaddyshit up for the down stroke is about the off beat and reverse style of funk. that and it goes along with the flash light and the bobgun. the flashlight(strobe light) mesmorizes so the bobgun can make them dance. everything is on the one, the one beat that makes all that is un funky funky again. sir nose devoid of funks nose grows as he fakes the funk. star child and the long haired sucker fly around in the mothership looking for his dumb ass....lawlomfg...i love this band,,,,
@SmokeyMcTrees every parliament funkadelic song is about fucking and doing drugs if you want to be simple about it and not listen to the hours of complex interlocking of lyrics.
@bigdaddyshit your really dumb. this song was written way before this version. it was written during a time when almost all music was like this music. this song started as a doowop song singing in a barbershop that george clinton actually owned when he was around sixteen years old....your theory sucks. the song about good music vs bad music is sirnose divoid of funk. your a derp.
@dbspaceoditty wow go back to playing video games internet tough guy I said in my comment that I knew it didn't mean any of what I said. Not a theory either. Go find another video to get in a online argument immature faggot.
America needs funk more than it needs....anything! It's coming, America! Emo, alternative, rock...they've all had their day. They'll come back, in a new guise, but funk is FUNK, and will never fade, bobba!
When this first came out I remember liking this song when I heard the start, then that change up made me say "Who are these folks?". Little did I know just how well I was gonna know who they ALL were.....
My mom took me to my first Parliament/Funkedelic concert in 1977. It was off the chain! My ears are still ringing and Mom's still swinging. Thanks Mom! :)
@WaterhouseFilms I'm pretty sure when Trombonerist said, "Why isnt all music like this," he/she meant why isn't all music this good. 'Cause the crap we have to pick from today can't hold a candle to music like this!
Cause Record Company People are Greedy @Trombonerist . Im sure they know today's sound is garbaGe !

This is the track where The Parliaments (GC, Fuzzy, etc), Funkadelic (Bernie Worrell) and the JBs (Bootsy+Horny Horns) collided and created P-Funk
