I was strung out on Bach
And Beethoven was my thing
I dug jazz, I dug rock
Anything with a swing
Then I ran into a friend Who told me there was so much more
Find the void that you missed
There is plenty to explore
We want to take you, Cholly, when we go
(You wanna take me?)
We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we roll
(Well, if you'd play me just a little bit more)
But if we play you just a little more
(Maybe I will)
We'd love to take you, Cholly, when we go
You know right about that time I started
To analyze what they were trying to tell
Me, they said: "Come on, Cholly, we want to
take you somewhere"
I didn't know where
They was trying to take me, next thing I
Know they were saying something like this:
Funk, gettin' ready to go-
Funk gettin' ready to roll (what?)
Funk, gettin' ready to go-
Funk gettin' ready to roll
(What in the world are they talking about?)
Funk gettin' ready to roll-gettin' ready to go?
No, they can't do that
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll-see Ive Bach-I love Beethoven
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
I would dance, I would sing,
I could get lost in my dreams
I would fly, but never too high
'Cause my funk deserted me
Now that the door is open wide
And all my funk just can't hide
With the syndrome left behind
No, my funk just can't hide
We like to take you, Cholly, when we go
We like to take you, Cholly, when we roll
(They promise they would play one more time)
But if we play you just a little bit more
We'd like to take you, Cholly, etc
You know
It was in my hands
It was in my feet
I got it all over me
Yes, I did, I got it all over me
Got to go, got to go
Got to go with the funk
Get ready
I would waltz, I would sing
I would get lost in my dreams
I would fly but never too high
'Cause the funk deserted me
Now that the door is open wide
And my funk I can't hide
(I must go with the funk
Parliament-Funkadelic is the collective name given to the funk music group led by George Clinton, active primarily in the 1970s. The group, composed of a number of musicians and singers, recorded under the names Parliament and Funkadelic, but often presented itself as a single entity. Among the most notable members are Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker, all coming from James Brown's bands. Their musical style was characterized by driving rhythms, funky melodic lines and often fantastical and satirical lyrics. Live performances were spectacular, with flamboyant costumes, futuristic stage sets and an infectious party atmosphere. Parliament-Funkadelic had a significant impact on hip hop music in the 1980s and 1990s, influencing artists like Prince and Rick James. Some of the group's most representative songs include "Flash Light", "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)" and "Maggot Brain".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
