George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic bands lifted the spirits of a whole generation of teens in the black community of the 1970s, which took the edge off the difficulties that generation was facing. Thanks George!
Just imagine it LIVE and in living color...1977 Lloyd Noble Arena, Norman, OK, I was a shook 15yo AND life long fan since, that mothership slide across the ceiling 🎉🙌🏾
Parliament killed it with their 15 minute version! To see them perform that in person was the bomb back in 1978 when I was 14 years old at Madison Square Garden!
This song is the BOMB, this was my song in the 70's. That BASS is BAD ASS. Parliament rules - Excellent dance music. Instead of this SHIT we have now. You all got it going on. THANX.
70s block parties; riding mini bikes; popping wheelies on Schwinn bikes; family member all alive; community love! Parliament has timeless music! Much love...
I remember when this came out...they would come out with an album every November. Good times, aaah, good times. Now this is funk. Playing real instruments. People today will be looking at their instruments like Marvin Berry did in Back to the Future saying wow, I didnt know instruments could do this...lol! Famous line: Could this be me immersed in funk so deep...lovin' it!
I was a 8 year old, this music liberated me from the other music kids in England were listening to. Got me dancing something my teenage self was forever grateful for.
I MISSED THIS TIME ITS TO BAD I COULDNT CLEAN TO THIS MUSIC BUT I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO HEAR IT AS A LITTLE GIRL! I CAN TELL PARENTS TODAY ,PLAY THIS TO THEIR KIDS SO THEY CAN KNOW WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS!
Hahahaha! I remember waking up at 6:30 am on Saturdays get ya rag and wipe the walls washing laundry down many a weekend morning this song was blasting 2 to 4 times in rotation
On my sixteenth birthday, my mother presented me with an album of theirs, I was hooked DO not attempt to adjust your radio station along with the instruments!!
This song reminds me of my baby brother Micheal...he used to blast this on our stereo speakers at home when our mom was out of town and the whole neighborhood would break out and dance...RIP MICHEAL...POETRY777
One of the greatest songs of all time. RIP Bernie Worrel! This song from 1979 influenced and even created thousands of new genres and musicians. Something about their music is truly magical. Good to your earhole.
Your "ear hole" portion of ur comment, reminding me of listening to da funk.. with earbuds in .. had a visitor frm England at my home. He heard me say "doing it to you in your ear hole" He said "what!? 😮 did your mum say?" My daughter started laffin- she knew what it was!! He did not!!😮 😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣
The masterpiece of the funk era. George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, Bootsy and Catfish Collins unleashed the funk and we will never be the same ever again.
I was at my friends house when this came out at a house party we all had the time of my life… I got so many numbers that night …. I am p funk fan for listener Clinton you change my soul for life…..
Say Bro Coming up in the seventies me and my brothers would dress up as funkadelics, and play the albums in my mom's front yard.we would actually act like we were them, and have our friends sitting in chairs watching us perform. Only if we had videos back then.
Another odd thing about this song. Phillipe Wynn just happened to stop by the studio as they were recording this(Him and Bootsy were old friends and He almost joined Funkadelic back in 1973, but went to the Spinners instead. And the rest is history........
I've been funkin with this Jam since it's release in September of '79. I was 16 years old then I'm 54 now & I'm still rollin' with da funk P-Funk never gets old, because Funk is always ready to roll!😎
this is so fantastic!!! I feel so sorry for this generation because unless you or your parents grew up with this kind of music, they will never truly know good music. Thank you so much!!!!
I saw Parliament/Funkadelic in 1978 at Madison Square Garden! They turned it out too! I viewed the Mothership coming down in that arena and I was completely captivated and mesmerized! I never had so much fun in my life! Young people just don't know what they have missed with bands and vocalists from those years!
When I was in high school at MAP Secondary School in Gaborone, Botswana Southern Africa in the late 70s, some of us were into the Deep Funk groove of Parliament FUNKADELIC and SLAVE tracks - this brings back great 👌 memories!!!! 🎼🎶💪💯👌⚡😎
Had the privilege of catching a showing inside a beer garden, back in early 90's in Ybor, Fl... True funk never goes away.😁👍🏻 Get down with the funk, everybody loves the funk.
1979 Late summer, early fall. We use to rock this song in Frankfurt & Aschaffenburg Germany, where I was stationed. This was a last dance Club closer. Sweat n Wet!! Youngin's today don't know about that type of having fun partying.
The lyrical delivery on this track from funkadelic is amazing not fire but when she danced she sets the world on fiiiyyaa!! Super funky super smooth attitude vocals I love it... pfunk4life💯🤘🤘
Seen the man himself perform this live in his underwear in Malibu back in 08 brother still has it. I recall leaving the show at around 1:30 cu. I just figured this shit won't stop any time soon lol I want to be his age and still going hard. Rock on Gerorge!
This is Junie playing most of the instruments in this song. George wrote it, but didn't want to record it because the first change goes from 4/4 to 3/4 and George thought that ruined the groove. But Junie kept buggin' him to let him arrange it and he did. That's a wild way to stumble into a no. 1 hit!
GC had been singing the song to himself, but didn't see how the 'round and round' waltzy part could work. Junie said 'it can be arranged' and recorded a five minute basic track. GC took the track, looped it three times and put all the vocals, Michael Hampton's guitar solo, Phillipe Wynn's solo on top.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAA she's the freak of the week! man I'm only 27 but I was raised listening to funk. I was on of those kids that would pull out my grandfather's records and sit in front of the big tower speakers and vibe . this is my all time favorite song.
Andrew VanWyngarden (of MGMT) was randomly asked by an interviewer on the streets who he wanted to play the halftime show and Andrew said George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic and the interviewer was like "I don't know who that is." haha
I was there! 1975 to 1985. Motor City roller rink, Macomb, International, Skateworld, Troy. Etc. This music was the bomb when you had 4 wheels, per foot, spinning!
I remember when i would go out to those after hour spots and they played this there would be No standing room, because everyone is throwing down and it was lovely just dancing doing you and enjoying the music 🎉, even though times has changed the good thing about it ,is i haven't 😊❤❤❤❤🎉
This was Detroit's theme song!!! We used to stop everything when it came on the radio and Dance!!!! This is Real Music!!! We need this kinda music to resurface and bring back big bands with real singers!!!! This is better then anything out right now cause this gets in your bones.
George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic bands lifted the spirits of a whole generation of teens in the black community of the 1970s, which took the edge off the difficulties that generation was facing. Thanks George!

Hardcore ❤funk at its best.
Back when music was music and these folks were just tearing it up and down bringing us the funk and nothing but the funk...
Besides the obvious DANCE FACTOR... The Composition of this song was BRILLIANT ❗

Tweezaat First time I listened to P-Funk high I thought I was gonna blow up (in a good way lol)
Working out to this in S. E. Asia, 10/2024 like it was 1978. Still Knee Deep and crazy funky!
When black people harmonized in their music creating quality and art.
Whats a black person maybe buy a Cantonese shade card.......cam o large ya mean .wow qe all have colour except see thru people like uuuuuuu
Yes. Historically unrivaled.
You can't argue that this type of music was straight-up party and dance music - you didn't have to drink to feel this music!
For sure
Amen
I remember when this came out...they would come out with an album every November. Good times, aaah, good times.
Now this is funk. Playing real instruments. People today will be looking at their instruments like Marvin Berry did in Back to the Future saying wow, I didnt know instruments could do this...lol!
Famous line: Could this be me immersed in funk so deep...lovin' it!
yeah!

I was a 8 year old, this music liberated me from the other music kids in England were listening to. Got me dancing something my teenage self was forever grateful for.
Funny. When I first heard the group name, I pronounced it Pa-ly-a-ment. Then thought, isn't that the British Congress?
Dig that!!

He said "what!? 😮 did your mum say?" My daughter started laffin- she knew what it was!! He did not!!😮

😂Yes! We knew how to party back in the day! had so much fun 😁
Say Bro Coming up in the seventies me and my brothers would dress up as funkadelics, and play the albums in my mom's front yard.we would actually act like we were them, and have our friends sitting in chairs watching us perform. Only if we had videos back then.
ALL RIGHT ,I KNOW YALL WERE JAMMING, BECAUSE THIS WAS AND STILL IS MY JAM ,IT TOOK ALL THE DEPRESSION AWAY WHEN I LISTENINED TO IT!
Knee Deep and flashlight is the greatest song ever
November 2024 🎉❤
Another odd thing about this song. Phillipe Wynn just happened to stop by the studio as they were recording this(Him and Bootsy were old friends and He almost joined Funkadelic back in 1973, but went to the Spinners instead. And the rest is history........
My neighbor's called the cops on me for playing this too loud. THEY got arrested. 😆👍🎶 I've got ants in my pants and I need to dance.
😂😂😂

The memories of the parties and the C. West😅

I saw Parliament/Funkadelic in 1978 at Madison Square Garden! They turned it out too! I viewed the Mothership coming down in that arena and I was completely captivated and mesmerized! I never had so much fun in my life! Young people just don't know what they have missed with bands and vocalists from those years!
heard this song one time on GTA: Vice City and it's taken me 10 years to find this song, thank god for the funk
All you had to do was ask an old head. GenX or Boomer, i.e. someone you consider "old". We woulda told you right then and there.
When I was in high school at MAP Secondary School in Gaborone, Botswana Southern Africa in the late 70s, some of us were into the Deep Funk groove of Parliament FUNKADELIC and SLAVE tracks - this brings back great 👌 memories!!!! 🎼🎶💪💯👌⚡😎

Something about the music...CLASSIC FUNK
This is Junie playing most of the instruments in this song. George wrote it, but didn't want to record it because the first change goes from 4/4 to 3/4 and George thought that ruined the groove. But Junie kept buggin' him to let him arrange it and he did. That's a wild way to stumble into a no. 1 hit!
GC had been singing the song to himself, but didn't see how the 'round and round' waltzy part could work. Junie said 'it can be arranged' and recorded a five minute basic track.

My father's favorite song!
