Here's yours truly playing a cover of the James Brown classic "Give It Up or Turnit a Loose (In the Jungle Groove Remix)" on my electric guitar. The words and music were written by Brown's manager Charles Bobbit. The song was released as a single for King Records and reached number fifteen on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts and two weeks at number one on the U.S. Billboard R&B Singles charts in 1969. The song has been covered by many recording artists including Dick Hyman and Lyn Collins. Brown recorded "Give It Up or Turnit a Loose" again with The J.B.'s for his 1970 double album Sex Machine. Over five minutes long, this later recording used a substantially different instrumental arrangement, with an added organ riff and a florid bassline, as well as different lyrics. A remix of this recording by Tim Rodgers appears on the 1986 compilation album In the Jungle Groove. The remixed version has been extensively sampled.

The song was sampled for: Black Rock & Ron - "Act Like You Know" CEO - "House Time, Any Time" Def Jef - "Poet with Soul" Doug E Fresh - "Guess Who?" Everlast - "Syndicate Soldier" Freddie Foxx - "The Master" Gang Starr - "Gotch U" Ice T - "Power" Intelligent Hoodlum - "Keep Striving" Kurtis Blow - "Back by Popular Demand" Miles Davis - "Blow" NWA - "100 Miles and Runnin'" Paris - "Wretched" Professor Griff - "Pass the Ammo" Public Enemy - "Burn Hollywood Burn" Public Enemy - "Welcome to the Terrordome" Rah Digga - "What They Call Me" Rob Base - "Creation" Schoolly D - "Who's Schoolin' Who?" Sister Souljah - "The Hate That Hate Produced" Special Ed - "Come On, Let's Move" Steady B - "Let the Hustlers Play" Tone Loc - "Freaky Behavior" Trey Lewd - "Hoodlums Hoo Ride" Twin Hype - "Tales of the Twins" Ultramagnetic MCs - "Give the Drummer Some" Willie D - "Fuck Rodney King" YBT - "Loud and Hard to Hit"

Tell me what you think about my skills on the electric guitar or the song in general by leaving me a YouTube or Facebook comment and a rating on the video. I'm very serious about my musical talent. Peace.
