I compare the bass line in this tune to the SAME level of funk as the old Temptation's tune "Standing on Shakey Ground"...Totally badass, both of them !
@mwupchurch: This song is so funky that if I was walking across a plank over a canyon with a 1,000 ft. drop and somebody played this I couldn't stop myself from dancing to my death.
@tripfunkmonster i couldnt have said it better ! it is impossible to listen to this song and NOT dance,,tap your foot...play air-drums...chair dance,,,,,,if you can,,,,,you might not have a pulse ! KEEP JAMMIN MAN ! PEACE !
when great grand kids come over they want to see me get down with sly.
do the funky dance pops haha. I got to brush up just before they get here every time cause I know its comin. They love sly and the family - of course and why not?? Everybody laughs and cracks up and I don't mind cause funky makes you feel good. Thanks Sly and the Stones great post
holy shit this song is in the ending scene of Scooby-Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed! XD thats how i fell in love with this song!! XD thanks for uploading an postin it!
@ToastyTrumpet Flea is a great bassist, but he's made his career off people like Larry Graham and Louis Johnson. It's like saying Steve Vai is better than Jimi Hendrix - they're from two different eras, they shouldn't be compared. Besides, music isn't about competition.
Great quality!! and great choice of graphic I just posted to my FB (they disable my account with 3000 friends and I'm starting over, this is my first post on my new account, fits the bill perfectly!
