Adam Lambert - Play that Funky Music (full version with lyrics)

[2000STORM2000]

This version sounds better in my opinion because, the original version sounds kind of funny... He didn't murder this song, he made it his own. If he's gona sing this song exactly like the comedian wild cherry then whats the point.

[tylermcclain606]

ew. . .

[LizzyG00]

ooooooooooooooooooooooh :)

[chocolate3261]

@iloveanimalswbu ADAM LAMBERT is not bi sexual, he is pure gay. If u listen 2 his interviews he says he is bi curious. DO NOT get the 2 mixed up, he HATES that with passion

[chocolate3261]

This is amazing. Give me ADAM LAMBERT any day of the week. Ive listened 2 both version n would so much rather listen 2 this 1.

[superscenekitty]

It's actually not that bad if you really listen to it better than some of the covers I've heard 

[silvervolt7]

He's not a faggot because he likes men...

He's a faggot because he killed this song.

[WeAreBeastlyEpic]

@silvervolt7 Faggot is a derogotery term so I recon you say that you can really hurt somone

[Perseus1401]

Who thinks that this is total bullshit? I have to tell something to those people: YOU ARE EPIC. I mean, this song is awesome when it is played by the Wild Cherries, but Mr. Lambert messes it up.

[hobosandbuttmonkeys]

Oh My God.... THIS SUCKS. WHAT HAS HE DONE TO THE BOOGIE BEAT.

Somebody call the Soul Police. NOW.

[halomasterDG]

its way better adam lambert all day

[halomasterDG]

its way better adam lambert alll day

[sparkles61598]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! uu waass convicteed of muurder and the victim was the song!

[2000STORM2000]

@sparkles61598 ewwwwwwwwwww!!! you either just dont like Adam Lambert or you cant hear better because your old just like the wild cherry. I love wild cherry music too but in my opinion the version of this song is better than the original.

[rubenramirezmd]

I had witness today the killing of a song

[GameAmy]

@rubenramirezmd I like this song, but that was awesome!!

[Rocko3837]

watch?v=8SH7fJVUFBs

[2000STORM2000]

This is much better than the original version period. Adam Lambert YOU ROCK!

[Edog729]

@2000STORM2000 you obviously don't listen to good music then. if you think this is better than wild cherry :)

[cuttieontherun]

adam sooo should have won american idol....you hear more about him than kris allen

[dudezofamerica]

This is fucking terrible!



[Amazingmasyer1]

I like wild cherry's version better

[shamidkpzd]

Not my favorite arrangement of this song. Some parts of it worked better than others. Regardless, Adam's vocals are orgasmic.

[tevinnumber21]

well he did after words are u hearing about kris like ur hearing about adam nnnuuuhhhh so to me he won after words that is he pushed heself forward

[lulu1chocoholic14]

he has officially killed the song....

[marlieke36]

@lulu1chocoholic14 You are totally right! This is awfull!

[diabo1087]

This is CRAP, original is way bettter!

[yanbmaster17]

What is funky in this version? I mean if we compare with the original?? There is no groove there...

[Majadra]

that was really shitty compared to the original

[fguka]

@Majadra yea man this guy is a fag

[Pepsicarwash]

@fguka hmm flaming assholes use the word fag, FYI.

[fguka]

@Pepsicarwash what kind of an idiot would say that?

[Pepsicarwash]

@Pepsicarwash read back on the comments and you will see it was you who said Fag. He may be gay but he can sing and he has more money then you.

[Bagheadman]

@Majadra No, this was just really shit. Period.

[TheRealPoptart]

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die

Till you die

Oh ya, ya

I tried to understand this

I thought that they were out of their minds

How could I be so foolish (How could I)

[kintoki100]

Ruined the song, totally agree

[FOREIGNGIRL7]

sorry i just heard wild cherry, no comparison.. the orginal take the cake!!!

[Shadowybladeatgmail]

@FOREIGNGIRL7 Amen to that!

[dkuch45]

My ears, oh God my fucking ears.

[iLaurenicious]

He just ruined the song.

Totally......

No Comment

[gonatego2]

@iLaurenicious Actually... you just left a comment. Just sayin...

[iLaurenicious]

@gonatego2

no need tho take thing so literally

that was from my brother

[Cube4thewin]

Totally took the groove out of the original...

[scottrule1]

May not be his original, but I still respect someone who can take a classic, and modify it to their own style. That is sometimes tough to do.  I have tried to remake a song in my own style, but it can be so hard when you have the original always playing in your head.

[FreeTheGhetto]

It was good until he got to the chorus

[DamanaRose]

All he did was slow the beat and speed it up in different spots. I think his version is a bit more sexy but that's just me.

[supersmosh4ever]

Fucking awful.

[cryingcherryblossom]

both the orignial and adam's version of this song are good in there own way!!! so bring on the hater comments! xP

[McRrOxZ]

he is talented but i do think he did help the song i know he changed a bit but it is just no good i would go with Wild Cherry's verisiion first. any thing else of Adam Lambert's is good

[That0neThing]

this is terrible.... no offense to adam he's a great singer but this song just got ruined...

[jaryl13]

He just totaly ruined this song!! 

[dcopic3]

this guy is one of the best vocals on theplanet,and he not ruined the song.He made his own version

[azuwazu03]

better the original

[x3DORKiE]

Umm... what? This boy just ruined a classic.

[CHUCKINATOR1231]

he made it worse

[stacimcrockstar]

I think he's ok, but he just should just kinda ruined this song to me

[sonnytook]

oh god he butchered this classic. barf

[bilskruvaren]

he fu*** up the song:(

[MsJulieLovely]

I do hope that he didn't win NOT because he's gay. He has one of the most beautiful voices that I've ever heard. He's an original artist and performer. He still doesn't have enough №1 singles, which is fairly sad. Like a diamond in the appropriate chase, this voice has got to be used nicely - in the very best songs.

I will really look up to his future work. Go, Adam :)

from Russia with love.

[iloveanimalswbu]

Even though he's bisexual i love his music i think he was the best one in idol. and i love his eyes there soooooooooooooo pretty lol.

[holyelectricalsocket]

WTH?!? they SKIPPED the freakin' awesome guitar solo!!!

[Musclefan426ci]

what in the flying fuck a monkey is this?......this fucking sucks........what the hell happened to the funky ass guitar riff.......and what the fuck did he due to the chorus.......he should be shot in the face for this

[reversalmushroom]

Lacks the appropriate amount of funk

[wavnut]

He's the greatest ever!! I don't think idols die ever do they? He'll be playing a good long time.

[crazywanch101]

Do you smell meat?smells like someone butchered one of the best songs ever this versions sucks so hard.

[HendrixIsGod47]

one of the best songs ever? haha. yeah its a cool, funky song but calling it one of the best songs ever is like calling anchorman or something one of the best movies ever.

[macvspc1020]

i agree!!! nothing against adam but he destroyed this song!

[TheMadRobb]

How could he sing these lyrics so hollow. Theres no funk in the music. No funky bass line. No funky guitar. No funky drum line. Just a hollow synthesizer and a little boy pop voice absolutely DESTRoyiNG this song.

[HendrixIsGod47]

yeah that talk-box guitar guitar line isnt funky at all. wtf. no funky drums? are we listening to the same song? this is some funky shit. it was actually better live though, the idol studio kinda sterilizes everything

[beatlesfan988]

no offense all u peeps...but wild cherrys version is way betta. adam lambert just ruined the song! no offense

[LambertLover27]

this version is way better then the original

[ferglicious]

ruined the original...

[nathou37]

this version is soooooooooooooo much better than the original omfg :P luve ya adam

[Creeveyable]

fuck...he destroyed the song...no seriously...

wild cherry 's version(the original version) is soooooooo much better...

[insight821]

he made the song better, your not very smart are you?

[FrEeZePoP1234]

so not as good as wild cherry sings it. this guy isnt nearly as good!!

[insight821]

bullshit!

[babyfireflyhoppy9099]

i love you adam!! <3 so hot baby!!

iloveyou:)

[ryuritanaka]

he is sooo hott! ^_^ it's too bad.... -_-

[popydude]

@ryuritanaka

its true when they say all good men are gay or taken. this comes from a guy

[ryuritanaka]

@popydude

LOL, right on!

[coconutlink]

Adam should of won

[birdofprey18]

i think he lost because hes gay which if fucking stupid he should of fucking won

[thebat991]

he probably didnt lose becausae he was gay. it was probably the fact that every1 where kris is from are inbred and voted 10 times.

[Musclefan426ci]

@thebat991 after hearing this piece of shit....i think he should be executed....he never shoulda won if he can't even pull off a cover of this w/o totally raping it.......hell even Canadian Heavy Metal Band EXTREME did a better job covering it

[thebat991]

@Musclefan426ci who do you mean by piece of shit and he never shoulda won? it sounds like ur talking about adam at first than you start talking about the winner wich sound like kris

[iloveinu2death]

@coconutlink Actually....I am happy he didn't...it makes him seem so much hotter to me...since he shows that you don't have to get first place to make your dreams come true!! Being the winner isn't everything! ;)) Adam definitely proves that to a T!! ^.^

[iloveinu2death]

@coconutlink He even said on Oprah that he did not think he was going to win first place anyway and still his fame is bigger than he had ever imagined (he said this too). :))

[Zoe14561]

@coconutlink no he shouldnt have if he did he wouldnt have been as fanouse as he is now

[WeirdoTeeHee]

@coconutlink Amen to that :) x

[dudezofamerica]

@coconutlink Adam did win........try being more specific next time.

[oh9girl]

i COMPLETELY agree with swimcmk213 but i still like kris 2. but not as much as much as adam after i heard this song! :DDD <3

[MrJ1DA1]

AWESOME

[197cash]

I dont like his version in my opinion the original is better

[Firefox521]

by wild cherry? i agree...

[councebby3]

His hair is awesome. it fits him

[dimi546]

wtf is up with his hair?

[LovelyLaugher94]

It's called gel...you know..used to style hair. He wanted to be in costume. Get it? No? Oh well!

[dimi546]

It's still silly.

[NikkiFree23]

I LOVE ADAM LAMBERT!!

[swimcmk213]

I LOVE ADAM LAMBERT! he is an original artist who spends his week trying to make his song for the week his own unlike SOME PEOPLE *cough*kris *cough*cough* who had to spend the time learning how to sing! Most people only voted for him cuz he was cute AND the voting was totally and compleatly rigged! im so pissed! if you dont believe me look it up but if you voted by txt msg it was free as long as the vote went to Kris all of adams fans had to pay to vote! he should be disqualified!

[miggleschick]

@swimcmk213 thas bull! you know it

[swimcmk213]

like i said HE WOULD NOT BE AN ARTIST IF HE SANG THE ORIGINAL now would he??

ya thats wat i thought

[swimcmk213]

he wouldnt be an artist if he sang the original now would he

[surfer53]

What I love about this is that Adam was never coy, he was just so honest that he answered exact questions. "I am who i am," before the competition basically answered the questions for me. Certain details, like bisexuality and bicuriousness, were yet to be determined, but confirming photos with him kissing guys pretty much confirmed he likes men. On 20/20 they asked him outright...are you gay? Again, he answered the question. Of course he's gay. Are you a liar because you answer more than the q?

[SaraMathilde]

Based on the fact that I live in Europe, and judged on the fact that I can't remember any of Kris Allens performances on AI, I'd say that Adam is most likely to have the biggest international career of the two of them.

[superfragaWHAT]

adam is gay. he's said it in numerous interviews.

[SaraMathilde]

so what?

[superfragaWHAT]

nothing, i'm just pointing it out to everyone who said "ADAM'S NOT GAY!"

[SaraMathilde]

Thanks, I am trying to point it out my self :)Well, and then sorry for misunderstanding you.

[superfragaWHAT]

no prob!

[pieman1234]

crap cover

[katieisanangel456]

i love him!

[number1adamlfan]

i am adam's #1 fan!!!! i love u adammmm!!!! u r sooo hotttt!!!!! i llove adam lambert

[angelbabe12398]

Adam is not gay and will someone please show me this Video where he announced it!!????Adam deserved to win and who really likes Kris's SINGING!!?????????

[SaraMathilde]

He outed him self in the newest copy of "Rolling Stones" ;)

[darkeyedmusician]

he actually did say he was gay in rolling stone. He deserved to win in every way. But regardless he is better than Kris and Adam is still smoking hot

[randomestrike65]

uhhhh adam's gay? uhhh TMI

[PinkLederhosen]

Why do some people think celebrity's lives are public property? Just enjoy their art and forget the rest.

[number1adamlfan]

thank u finally someone that understands!!!!!!

[PinkLederhosen]

I view his singing as a gift to us all. Same with any good performer. What he does in his personal life is his own business.

[unsexymom]

did his mom and dad make him gay because he was so beautiful? he would make a beautiful woman. such a waste!

[SaraMathilde]

your comment was a waste, too, then.

[clanwa]

It wasent the fact that he was gay, as much as his genre. Adam had a genre in which he was already defined. Kris was a humble guy who could attract more of the "girls" and younger audience who dont like Adam's type of singing. When Danny left most of his voters would have gone to Kris cause he sang more then Kris then Adam.

[BlackDragonOfEgypt]

My husband sings so well :]

[ShingingDisco]

he is not your husband

[BlackDragonOfEgypt]

It's none of your business :]

[ShingingDisco]

sure...(cough) (cough)

[BlackDragonOfEgypt]

Still none of your business

[ShingingDisco]

i dont care because

1.adam anounced he was gay I have nothing against that

2.Hes not married

3.your a wannabe

[BlackDragonOfEgypt]

Wow you're really taking me serious? What kind of uptight bastard are you? Do you know how many other girls say the same thing? Why don't you try taking a joke?

[chazman807]

this guy sucks - love the song though

[BlackDragonOfEgypt]

Then why are you watching this?

[Prinzezz103]

he is not gay so just shut up stupid gay ppl

[SaraMathilde]

If he's not gay, then why did he out him self in this copy of "Rolling Stone"?

[jeffhardyluvr56]

He killed it

[Palmtreebridge123]

:) i love this song!!!!!!!

[PinkLederhosen]

Hey, nobody is forcing you to listen to his music. Who cares if he is gay or not? He's a fantastic performer and that's all the explanation he owes anyone.

[cuite321]

I totally agree with you i love his singing and no one voted for him because hes gay if no one knew then Adam would of won for sure!

[celticcon92]

A true artist

[cjillah4]

this song is good but is he really gay

[WonderPetzFreak7]

so who cares..... prejeduce

[iluv80smuzic]

i agree with TheOnesYouWontForget...now he won't have to have that stupid NoBoundries song on his album...no offense intended but i really hated that song...he will probably have a lot more freedom than he would have if he'd won

[JadaandEli]

i can't get over how he lost but still he will have records and if he didn;t have american idol he still would have got a career in singing but if kris allan would have not had ameican idol he probably would not have a career in singing

[LuvPeteWentz4eva1029]

same with me funville4ever but not startin shit but i prolly like him way more than you.. i got pics of him all over my locker and my wall.. and i have a watch and a hoodie of adam lambert..

and my dad said the same thing he is gunna get further than kris.. he will.. hes hotter and better... WHO EFFING CARES IF HES GAY!!! I LOVVVEEEEEE HIMMM!!!!! xD im gunna meet him.. WATCH! i will... i cant wait till my bday.. MAN I LOVE ADAM!!!!!!!!!

[sakuralikun]

Adam Is totaly Amazing!!!

(is it just me or dose the background music kinda sound like Livin on a prayer??)

[funville4ever]

OMG ADAM I LOVE YOU ever since the auditions I have loved Adam and I dont care if he's Gay so what I still love Him he sounds soooooo amazing I was literally crying when he lost I think it was fixed he's were 1,000 times better!!! and he'll go further than Kris ever will!! in fact I wouldn't be surprised id he signed w/ Queen he reminds me of Freddie Mercury right down to his looks Queen should seriously consider him I LOVE ADAM!!!!!!

[TheOnesYouWontForget]

It's so much better though that he didn't win, because then he doesn't have to be under American Idols thumb, you know? he can do what he wants..

[jhawk12350]

all of the top 12/13 are controlled by American Idol which gets royalties of their earnings for x amount of years as stated by the contract. it does depend on their total earnings though and record sales but AI has control through their original contract which is like 5 years long

[diffcontroversy]

Holy crap! This guy's voice is ASTOUNDING.

[danistin]

I can't believe he lost D:

[annialation123]

is he really gay D= ?

[KevinJonasFAN14]

of course hes not and even if he is it doesnt matter. hes awesome. and i think he lost becuz people think hes gay and that shouldnt matter. i voted for him so much. its so stupid becuz its discriminating against him if he is gay. and almost every guy on tv wheres guyliner. is brad pitt gay? haha make me laugh

[annanaz91]

...guyliner lol

[thebeatlez12]

hes so amazing!!!!!!!

gorgeous voice

gorgeous face....HES GONNA WIN

[slash2jimi]

this guy is a faggot, but he has a good voice.... ha

[iRchikER]

u shouldn't be talking shet about people

[BrittanyBloodsucker]

I love this song! I never really was a fan of Adam, because people kept dying over him. But now that I actually hear his stuff; hes actually got a lot of talent. I'm impressed :]
