Man, I was in a place
Called Keeprunnin', Mississippi one time
And I heard someone on my way by
Sounded a little something like raw funk to me
So I slowed down and took a listen
And this is all I could hear, baby
Whoa-hah-hey
Whoa-hah-ha
(x5)
It got so good to me, man, that I stopped runnin'
My feets was tired anyhow
So I reached in my inside pocket
And got my harp out
Sit down by old beat-up railroad train
And get me get myself
A little of that old funky thang
{vocal "harmonica" solo}
Yeah!
Yeah, I'm ?
Yeah, whoa!
Yeah
Mm-m-hmmm
Yeah
Can you all feel what I mean?
This is what you call
Waaay-back yonder funk
Whoa ha hey
Whoa ha ha
(x19)
Say it loud!
I'm funky and I'm proud!
I'm aging!
Old 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".
