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!
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!
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!
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...
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........
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
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 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!!!! 🎼🎶💪💯👌⚡😎
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.
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'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!😎
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.
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 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!!!!
Just seen George Clinton/Parliment in his farewell concert here in Detroit on 7/22/18 at Freedon Hill. I will always remember it. Lit from the moment he stepped that stage and until he left. Knee Deep will be my fave we had the 12” and this was the only song we played at my birthday when i turned 5!!!!! Funk on GC 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
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 😊❤❤❤❤🎉
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💯🤘🤘
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
Setting here recovering from a major heart attack. Came across this of George Clinton while recuperating. Being in high school in the Disco period 74-77 in the deep south. The track team coming back from a meet in Ruston, LA, we had won 🏆! The song called "Give Up the Funk" (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)” We called it the disco track dance!The whole school bus was shaking!!! Our victory dance⁰!!!!!I believe our form of personal music system was 8 track and cassette. On the bus it was was a cassette player in a boom box. 1977 before every track meet! I'm old enough to remember the first car entertainment system. You could place 5 or 6 45 inch records in the box start your engine and off with favorite date!😂 pain through replacing after one meet everybody predicted we were lose, we won. We had enough money after that to buy a 6 pack of Olympic Beer and a fifth that cheap rot gut Booms farm apple wine our discussion not about girls and Graduation, but would George Clinton get mad if we just called all his bands "george clinton bands" You know he had four bands: Parliament-Funkadelic, Parliament, The Parliaments and Funkadelic. It was deep. By the finish of the 6 pack Olympic, especially the Boone's Don't think we ever came out with an answer. But good times at 65, seems like yesterday
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.
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
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.
I'm glad this song was posted because it plays in movie "Good Burger" (funny movie!!); I'm not sure why I didn't get this album, but I have others of George Clinton and The Parliament; ENJOY THIS MUSIC! MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD AND THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED, IT HELPS YOU THROUGH THE DAY AND NIGHT!! THANK GOD! ❣
This jam started my love affair with P-Funk when I heard someone playing it on a huge boombox at a track meet in Killeen Texas! My love will never cease for this music...
It’s January 2025 and I’m about to turn 64 >This joint takes me back to 1979 thinking of other people who I was with who are gone. Every day is a GIFT so jam and reminisce about those I’ve lost who I jammed this hint with!
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.
One of the best orchestrated songs ever.
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 🎉🙌🏾
This was the SHIT back in the DAY, and it STILL IS!
Owww!!!???
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.
now this is what I call music. they don't make em like this anymore.. unfortunately.
bring back the FUNK!!!!
We want the funk. Gotta have that funk!
Yessir 🤘🏾
every cookout, old head gathering, family reunions. good times. love the 15 minute version.
Good for any celebration
Shit every school dance, house party
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!

That's it!!! "...Something about tha music..!" ;-)
Yes yes oppressed black people whatever. Keep pretending anybody held your asses down except for yourself
🤟🤟🤟

More than 1 generation!

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!
in my late teens or early 20' when I first heard parliament and fell in love, now almost 60 and still love them
You and me both, 62 and still "it moves me and grooves me "
Yes 63 in 2024 & STILL funking-went to their concert in Norman OK 1977...I've been knee deep every since ❤
Back when music was music and these folks were just tearing it up and down bringing us the funk and nothing but the funk...
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.
That's just Bootsy, baby!!!!!
This brings me back! wait I'm only 15!

This may be the finest music that has ever been.
it is undeniably
Agreed but they're STILL fonkin' w/jam Radio Friendly and the airwaves don't show no love
They don't know how to do it like that anymore
@@dannyg5040 a once in a lifetime
Not may be,it is!
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
This song, "Rapper's Delight", and "Do I Do" (both the full versions) will leave you shocked for over 30 minutes!
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'm 62 My first album was Parliament. I dig that funky beat nothing but the funk
Michael Hampton's guitar solo to me is the best performances in Funk Music History..Classic & underrated..
CHURCH !!
dude this song pumps me up every time. I didn't grow up with this song, but man this funk.
thank you MR.Clinton for showing us the blueprint. Have an idea, and funk it.
....and he's still kicking!
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!!

Working out to this in S. E. Asia, 10/2024 like it was 1978. Still Knee Deep and crazy funky!
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!!

Agree with your description. It was truly AMAZING when this came out, it took previous hit "One Nation" to another level!
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
