Crazy my mom loved this song so much she told us to play this song at her funeral because she didn’t want anyone to be sad. And years later when she passed we played it at the end towards viewing her her body and everyone went some being sad to happy dancing to the music to say good bye to her. She always wanted people happy even after she was gone.
Blessings to you and your family. Me and my baby sister were jamming. I left home fifty years ago, haven't seen my sister in forty years, she passed away and I think of her every time on this song.
Maaaaaaann, U already knoooow!!!! This is a ANTHEM 4 all the years 2 come 4sho.... I'm a 70's baby and I'm proud 2 have grown up on this, JAMES BROWN, THE ISLEY BROTHERS, BB KING, BOBBY WOMACK & BOBBY BLUE BLAND.L.... JUST 2 NAME A FEW❤💯✊🏾
I’m 70 years old and love this song. I was going out to my car to get paperwork and a young man about 19 or 20 years was playing this and it brought back a flood of memories from being in the disco dancing.
If a meteor was coming to the earth causing an extinction level event and destroying humanity forever...this is the song that should be playing as we take our final collective breath.
These boys have no idea about dancing, 🥃🍻 keeping the rap game tight with the ladies. Their to busy 💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨 at each other because he 👀 at me. Sitting in prison because of a 👀. These young folks are 🤯. Afraid to fight with their 🙌🏼 instead of 💨💨💨💨

No matter how bad you feel or depressed you are you put this song on I promise you you will start feeling very happy! Works everytime for me lol😂😂 LONG LIVE THE FUNK!!!
I dont care what people say. For me, those back up female vocal session singers were the polish that really made this song come alive. Another freak of the Weee, Eeèeak ! They were fantastic and the men singing back up as well.
February,25 1980. The night before I went to Boot Camp at MCRD San Diego, I got my funk on . I listened to this song all night. It got me ready. I was 18 years old.I am 62 years old now and it never gets old in fact it gets funkier. The guitar solo is the shit
I was six years old when this song came out. My older brother and sister used to bump it constantly. They imprinted it in my young brain. A decade later, still unable to get those melodies and all that funk out of my head, I went looking for it in record stores. My sister was so high when she used to bump the record that she couldn't remember what the exact name of the song was. She just called it "The Freak." Well, I went and bought every P-Funk album I could find trying to locate this song, not realizing that Funkadelic albums on Warner Brothers were out of print at that time, and no record stores were carrying them. I finally found a bootleg 12" copy pressed just for DJs, but not before I had bought up all their other music. Listening to all their other records, i became a hardcore fan and started studying all the liner notes and going to all their shows. I probably have a good 50 P-Funk shows under my belt at this point, in all their various iterations: P-Funk All-Stars, Bootsy, Original P, Bernie Worrell and the Woo Worriers, Maceo and Fred... P-Funk is the soundtrack of my life, and their shows have been some of the best memories of my life.
THAT's HILARIOUS!! WE USED TO CALL IT THAT... "...it's a freak!" .....AND SAME HERE - at the time, the only copy I found was on DJ pressed vinyl. What a time.
I remember the day this aired for the first time on the radio in Saginaw, Michigan. The station was WWWS (W3Soul) and they were jamming all morning, then the deejay announced this new jam from Funkadelic. I was laid back in the driver's seat of a Cadillac and it was right before school was about to come back from summer break. I remember coming down the boulevard, cruising at about 20 miles per hour with a 40-Oz of Miller beer between my thighs when this song dropped. Just that intro alone almost made me wrap that Caddy around a telephone pole. Mannnnnnnn, I was so hyped that I couldn't sit still. I had to pull over in a convenience store parking lot to listen to the rest of this amazing groove. That was August of 1979 and on that day, this became my favorite song and still remains my favorite song even now. The brilliance of George Clinton's creativity, Junie Morrison's musicality, Michael Hampton's smoking hot guitar solo and Phillippe Wynne's ad-libs just made this an astronomical HIT! But here's a little something that many of you may have not known: If you've heard the song as many times as I have, you realize that the real star of this song is the drums. That beat was insane (especially at the intro), but did you know that the drummer for this song was actually Bootsy Collins? Yep, it's true. Long live the Funk.
Yes sir! How about that African Cuica? aka The Monkey Drum. This entire track is exquisite and introduced me to a new instrument. Just a masterpiece of musicality! NOBODY does it better.
@@juliansevin9109 Yep, in addition to being THEE FUNKIEST BASS PLAYER ON THE PLANET, Bootsy is a singer and drummer and he also played drums on "One Nation Under A Groove" in 1978. Funny thing is that even on some of the old MoTown records, people like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder played drums on other artists records. Just one of those little known facts that'll blow your afro back.
As a white kid growing up in the late 70s in rural Iowa, I played this record one morning as I was getting ready for school. It simply blew me away. BTW I was late for class :-)
I was a 17 year old white girl when this first came out.. I loved it, couldn't stop playing it, couldn't stop dancing to it, our school dances were hopping when this song came on ! Great memories
That's why u keep it pounding the speakers as u cruise a classic car - me and my hubby we be thumping in a rat rod style low rider - 1980 caprice classic 2 door edition - my hubby don't let nothing play but classic hip hop and funk music - all he does is pop lock as he travels all over
@@hattiegoodsoldier4448 LOL! 👍🎯 That's fantastic reading that you and hubby are enjoying the past as well as the present while building a future together! And cruising in a classic low-rider! I'm in a rice burner but hey....crusin, is crusin! Please continue to love and enjoy each other! God Bless you and your loved ones.
I had my first-night party I was in the 8th grade. My older brother was the DJ he was 21 so his friends were there too and it WAS OFF THE HOOK until my mother realized they're was older people there. My father was cool with it but my mother had a fit especially when gum was found on her shaggy carpet and empty liquor bottles in the backyard. It was THE BEST OF TIMES!!! My mom is 94 yrs old now and still mad I never had a night party again. Old friends of mine still talk about that party. I'm 55 yrs old.❤❤❤🤣🤣🤣
14 years old living in rural Ireland. I love hip hop, but Funk will always be my number 2 or maybe even number 1 genre ever. And funkadelic do it like no other! Perfect motherfunking song!
I pledge allegiance to the funk of the United States of Funk and to the Funk for which it stands one nation under a groove, indivisible, with rhythm and P-funk for all.
Micheal Hampton ( who did this one) does a similar solo on the track "Never Buy Texas From a Cowboy" by The Brides of Funkenstein..the 15 minute version
@@granolabombz7560 I'm keeping it 100.... still to this day that has to be one of the greatest guitar solo's i've ever heard in my life. He not only killed it, he should have been arrested for murdering that joint!!!
I was 11 when this was on the radio. My Mom & Stepdad were hardcore fans. We had a full size George Clinton cut out that my Mom won off the radio. My Stepdad would play this record on repeat for hours. I am a child of The P Funk. I'm also a hardcore fan of ParlimentFunkadelic. #PFunk
I knew I would find the answer to my question somewhere in the comments 😂…..I keep thinking 🤔 that latter solo part sounds like the guy from the Spinners and “ta da” I was correct….Philippe Wynne thanks 🤗
I was a year old in 1979 when this song was out, I remember my parents playing this record and me bouncing up and down in my playpen. I felt this deep in my soul! 3 years later (1982) I would get this same feeling again once I heard my Aunt Jackie playing Prince & The Revolution album 1999!!! True story! I’m 45 today (2023) and this still get in my soul!
@@72vince27Yes! All true facts, it’s certain things I can still remember like my yellow and white playpen and I vaguely remember my parents having my older sister and I a double birthday party (we both share the same birth month) and someone holding me over a birthday cake with them glowing candles and I remember trying to take the party hat off and the rubber string kept popping under my chin and neck. That hurt! 😂
I don't have to imagine. I can remember: Fall of 1979. Chicago. North Side. Seventeen years old, starting my first semester at North Park College on a Pell Grant. Taking the El and a bus back and forth every day. Heard this jam on WBMX and was immediately obsessed and enthralled; it made my heart soar. Bought the album as soon as I heard it existed (I was a P Funk Disciple from the time I was fourteen). No personal stereos yet, so I just had to listen to this jam on my radio and record player every chance I had, and let my brain remember every detail and part, focusing on the drum one time, the piano the next time, the backup singers the time after that, and replay it in my head whenever I could. That was the relationship to music you had to have in those days. You got to know a song deep in your bones. And now every time I listen to this, I can feel the chill of a Chicago winter approaching, hear the shriek and clatter of a rusty El train rounding a bend, see the gray back porches of North Side three-flats under a wet gray sky, taste the cheddarburger and fries from the Greek fast food stand down Foster Ave. from North Park, read the Puerto Rican gang graffiti etched into a plexiglass bus window, breathe in the fragrance of rain-soaked concrete and brick, and once again experience just how much this music meant to my adolescent self.
I heard the shortened version on V-103 in Atlanta while visiting my cousins. Blew me away. I heard the long version when I got back to Ohio and about lost my mind, lol!
@@josefkay5013that’s an interesting observation about how deep the relationship with music became, when it was essentially the only form of entertainment available
@@roddydykes7053 Well, there were movies (at the movie theater--VCRs weren't common yet), and TV (with about 7 available channels). And books and magazines, of course. But Americans didn't spend nearly as large a percentage of their income on entertainment as they do now, and spent far less time absorbed by media. They just couldn't. But those limitations made the experiences more precious. You spent more time REMEMBERING them, replaying them in your mind, precisely because you couldn't just access them at will, whenever and wherever you might choose. This gave things like movies and TV shows and recorded music an enormous mythic dimension they lack now.
And to think that when this was in rotation, we use to dance the entire 15 minutes of this song.....................................non stop..........This is so classic..............Parliment/Funkadelic.............the most underrated group ever. People have made careers of this music
I'm so thankful to have lived in that era, it'll never happen again! Real Music, real musicians, message in the lyrics, positive vibes ALL in & out. And let's not forget about costumes...........................Truth be told, I'm waiting on that MOTHERSHIP! Peace, Blessings, Protection, Strength & Forgiveness
Now this is old school music from back in the seventies and it was good funky music and it used to really rock the house parties and really get the ladies hot and sweaty and heated up and everybody be dancing and having a blast and setting it off
This song and too many others were the song tracks of my youth...Now that I'm gonna be 64 in February 2024 it's just as fresh as it was some 45-46 years ago...Classic and timely in every since of the word...Much love and respect to these musical geniuses/pioneers...Imitated but never duplicated!!!!
My brother you blessed to live so long MANY more years to YOU. If you can tell a STORY ABOUT you best days and your worst days what would it be.love YOU FOR being a man of FAITH
I HAVE LOVED PARLIAMENT AND GEORGE CLINTON SINCE 1976! I GOT TO LIVE OUT A DREAM WHEN I SAW GEORGE CLINTON IN LYNCHBURG ,VA A FEW YEARS AGO. I WAS SO HAPPY I CRIED! Us white folks love funk too 😂
Happy Birthday 🎂 Mr. George Clinton Enjoy! You changed the game in a big way yes! Yes you did! Big Ups to you Sir Yessss! This song is here to stay it's a true diamond and forever a classic YEP!
OMG! Experiencing this at the Loft in NYC back when this was released. No cell phones, nobody posing for selfies or worshipping the DJ. It was tlet the music take you, tear off your clothes and sweat buckets dancing your ass off. Fantastic days they were. The music was off the charts.
WE WANT THE WHOLE FUNK

This is what "U" call timeless Music...!!! 40 yrs, stillFresh
They were generous back then with the music. They knew what was needed. 15 min anthem for life
God this is so good. If you’re not moving to this, you’re not living.
God damn that guitar solo. Straight up ACID FUNK.
Micheal Hampton ( who did this one) does a similar solo on the track "Never Buy Texas From a Cowboy" by The Brides of Funkenstein..the 15 minute version
@@granolabombz7560 I'm keeping it 100.... still to this day that has to be one of the greatest guitar solo's i've ever heard in my life. He not only killed it, he should have been arrested for murdering that joint!!!
Hands down!!!
Who did the guitar solo
No need to abuse GOD'S name.
THIS PLAYS HARD THROUGH THE GENERATIONS!!!
The funk era man !!!! The beats the dancing damn I was born to late 96 baby but I’d rather bump this
George Clinton - The King Of Funk
I was 11 when this was on the radio. My Mom & Stepdad were hardcore fans. We had a full size George Clinton cut out that my Mom won off the radio. My Stepdad would play this record on repeat for hours. I am a child of The P Funk. I'm also a hardcore fan of ParlimentFunkadelic. #PFunk
A true FUNKATEER!!!
Same Here !! Keep On Funkin !!
The cut-out though, idk anything about that, but I can imagine...!!!
Glad to know 🎵🎶🎵
Tha funk
This is an EPIC JAM in the purest sense! It hit so hard for so long! RIP Philippe Wynn & Bernie Worrell, Junie Morrison!
Playlist frfr
I knew I would find the answer to my question somewhere in the comments 😂…..I keep thinking 🤔 that latter solo part sounds like the guy from the Spinners and “ta da” I was correct….Philippe Wynne thanks 🤗
This was music back in the days shit I'm jamming this mutherfucker song right now 2-21-2023. Do that tell you something..
So missed. They left their mark thats for sure. Had the honor of meeting George Clinton at Art Basal, this past December, I bout lost my mind.
This classic is here to stay Yep!
I was a year old in 1979 when this song was out, I remember my parents playing this record and me bouncing up and down in my playpen. I felt this deep in my soul! 3 years later (1982) I would get this same feeling again once I heard my Aunt Jackie playing Prince & The Revolution album 1999!!! True story! I’m 45 today (2023) and this still get in my soul!
You remember being one brotha? It’s possible, but I’ve never heard of it.
@@72vince27Yes! All true facts, it’s certain things I can still remember like my yellow and white playpen and I vaguely remember my parents having my older sister and I a double birthday party (we both share the same birth month) and someone holding me over a birthday cake with them glowing candles and I remember trying to take the party hat off and the rubber string kept popping under my chin and neck. That hurt! 😂
The 70s... the DECADE OF FUNK🕺
One of the Baddest Jams around.
Can you imagine hearing this song for the first time on the radio. Wish I was there what a time that would’ve been!
I remember but nothing like seeing them in person.
I don't have to imagine. I can remember:
Fall of 1979. Chicago. North Side. Seventeen years old, starting my first semester at North Park College on a Pell Grant. Taking the El and a bus back and forth every day. Heard this jam on WBMX and was immediately obsessed and enthralled; it made my heart soar. Bought the album as soon as I heard it existed (I was a P Funk Disciple from the time I was fourteen).
No personal stereos yet, so I just had to listen to this jam on my radio and record player every chance I had, and let my brain remember every detail and part, focusing on the drum one time, the piano the next time, the backup singers the time after that, and replay it in my head whenever I could. That was the relationship to music you had to have in those days. You got to know a song deep in your bones.
And now every time I listen to this, I can feel the chill of a Chicago winter approaching, hear the shriek and clatter of a rusty El train rounding a bend, see the gray back porches of North Side three-flats under a wet gray sky, taste the cheddarburger and fries from the Greek fast food stand down Foster Ave. from North Park, read the Puerto Rican gang graffiti etched into a plexiglass bus window, breathe in the fragrance of rain-soaked concrete and brick, and once again experience just how much this music meant to my adolescent self.
I heard the shortened version on V-103 in Atlanta while visiting my cousins. Blew me away. I heard the long version when I got back to Ohio and about lost my mind, lol!
@@josefkay5013that’s an interesting observation about how deep the relationship with music became, when it was essentially the only form of entertainment available
@@roddydykes7053 Well, there were movies (at the movie theater--VCRs weren't common yet), and TV (with about 7 available channels). And books and magazines, of course. But Americans didn't spend nearly as large a percentage of their income on entertainment as they do now, and spent far less time absorbed by media. They just couldn't.
But those limitations made the experiences more precious. You spent more time REMEMBERING them, replaying them in your mind, precisely because you couldn't just access them at will, whenever and wherever you might choose. This gave things like movies and TV shows and recorded music an enormous mythic dimension they lack now.
So much funk it cleared out the room and brought the Lord home 😫😫😫
This song is so freakin Funked Up , and that's whats up!❤
Song still slams... this white boy loves the funk
The 139 who gave this a thumbs down ain't got a funky bone in their body.
The 139 stoops
And to think that when this was in rotation, we use to dance the entire 15 minutes of this song.....................................non stop..........This is so classic..............Parliment/Funkadelic.............the most underrated group ever. People have made careers of this music
There were no fat in those times, everybody was fit!
I got this song off of good burger after that I couldn't stop watching that movie and listening to this song
It’s crazy to think this song is almost 50 years old
And still, so very much alive!!!
@@eiburt4902absolutely!
That just made me tear up, because I was alive when this dropped, and I just realized… dammit Jim, I’m OLD AF
I'm so thankful to have lived in that era, it'll never happen again! Real Music, real musicians, message in the lyrics, positive vibes ALL in & out. And let's not forget about costumes...........................Truth be told, I'm waiting on that MOTHERSHIP!
Peace, Blessings, Protection, Strength & Forgiveness
Yes it was.... will 4ever miss those days
Yeah because George Clinton is from another planet
Hell yea! Cause Mothership is a coming’! They were showing you at his concerts and performances how it’s gonna be!
Don't forget your Bop Gun on that Muthaship!!!!!
The "MOTHERSHIP" went over most people's heads......no pun intended. 👊🏾
Now this is old school music from back in the seventies and it was good funky music and it used to really rock the house parties and really get the ladies hot and sweaty and heated up and everybody be dancing and having a blast and setting it off
This song and too many others were the song tracks of my youth...Now that I'm gonna be 64 in February 2024 it's just as fresh as it was some 45-46 years ago...Classic and timely in every since of the word...Much love and respect to these musical geniuses/pioneers...Imitated but never duplicated!!!!
My brother you blessed to live so long MANY more years to YOU. If you can tell a STORY ABOUT you best days and your worst days what would it be.love YOU FOR being a man of FAITH
Those were the days
@@stevenwells7585agree
I'll be 64 in October. Happy Birthday!!!😄
Ants in my pants and I need to dance !

You go for what you like.im samoan

Happy Birthday 🎂 Mr. George Clinton Enjoy! You changed the game in a big way yes! Yes you did! Big Ups to you Sir Yessss! This song is here to stay it's a true diamond and forever a classic YEP!
So Nice. I remember that time and I have missing of 70's and 80's. Amazing
I think of good burger when I hear this
OMG! Experiencing this at the Loft in NYC back when this was released. No cell phones, nobody posing for selfies or worshipping the DJ. It was tlet the music take you, tear off your clothes and sweat buckets dancing your ass off.
Fantastic days they were. The music was off the charts.
Bamm
