We Want the Funk - George Clinton

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnBexLcMkq4]


If there is a song out there that defines "funk" more than this one, I don't know it. The description of this video on YouTube said it was a "nice song." I actually giggled to myself a little bit. If there is any word I wouldn't use to describe this song, it's "nice." Funk is not nice. Funk is in your face telling you how it is. That's definitely what this song is.


I was first introduced to this song back in college. I went to see a band that played some awesome funk tunes and had a really clever name that was a play on the word philharmonic that escapes me just now. I went, because I knew this girl from high school who was dating one of the guys in the band. It was a great time, and they played some awesome tunes, proving once more that you should go and support local music as often as you can.
