This song would get even the “wallflowers” onto the dance floor!!!
The term Everybody's Got A Little Light Under The Sun has specific meaning. George Clinton and company were saying the Sun (as a whole) is our life giving power source, and we all possess a bit of that life sustaining power inside of us. I know, a little deep but that's what he's telling us.
And the album's story arch goes from Endangered Species to Sir Nose (cocaine), consumerism & greed vs love (Wizard of Finance, Funkentelechy), Placebo Syndrome (addiction) to Everybody's Got A Little Light Under The Sun!
Hey Angela, This is classic 70's FUNK that guaranteed to get the dance floor packed every time it was played!!! George Clinton, Parliament & Funkadelic would tear the roof offa the sucka!!!
Got to check out Not Just Knee Deep by Funkadelic
I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THERE'S BLACK FOLK THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD FLASH LIGHT!!! These youngin's should sue their primary care givers. Charge em with Funk Deprivation.
You got that right!!! This is DA JAM!!!
We used to jam to 'Flashlight' on the school bus when i was in high school 1970s.
The badest Funk band on earth. To have grown up with this music to see them in concert. Watching the Mothership land on stage, to witness the funky Dr Funkenstine decend the steps of the ship. An erra past but the music definitely lives on. To all you funkateers , never give up the FUNK. Flash light was the main staple of a party for years clubs also. It got more air time than some of MJs songs and that's a fact. The story of Sir Nose vs Starchild is history in the archives of Funk. Listen to Sir Nose devoid of Funk on the album. You will understand the concept. I went to the Funk festival in 1979 LA Colloseum may 26th. There shows were so creative and spectacular. The Motor boots affair were you could dance under water and not get wet. Funk on young lady. Try not to sweat.
Flashlight is the first battle to between starchild and sir nose to make him dance to the funk, the other battle is aqua boogie where you can dance underwater and not get wet but the final battle is theme from the black hole in which Sir Nose wins the war
If your going to do the 70's you should play something by War.
When I was a kid this came out and funk music, Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins, even early James Brown sex machine, was really the precursor to rap. I was 17 when this came out and this music was all the rage for kids my age at the time.
Parliament and their funky song were just fine, really in the groove, but the highlight of this video by a country mile was the awesome dance moves of our very own Angela!! You go girl!!
My Dear. If you didn't get the line, "Everybody's got a little light under the sun", it's no wonder you spent most of this awesome video playing with your hair.
This whole album, Funkentelechy vs the Placebo Syndrome, is a concept album that tells a story, as illustrated in the comic booklet that came packaged with the vinyl album (don't know if they carried it over to the CD; it's certainly not on Spotify). The basic story is that Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk (in the song, the line "I will never dance") arrives armed with the Snooze Gun, to stop people from dancing or getting down (the Placebo Syndrome). This is obviously not okay, so the Mothership sends Star Child (in the song, the line "Dance sucker!"), armed with the Bop Gun to stop him (Funkentelechy). The entire album leads up to the final confrontation, which is this song.
Reading this back, it sounds like I'm describing some crazy, drug-fueled fever dream. No guarantees that that isn't where the album originated.
Sir Nose won this one.
Not nearly enough funk on these music channels 🥰❤️🔥
The last Friday of each month, there is a local bar that has a thing called Silent Disco. In this event, people are given wireless headphones at the door, and you can switch between the 3 DJs at will. One of the DJs plays dance music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and this song is a favorite of his set. So many people switch over to his channel when this comes on. It might seem weird to a new person, seeing people dancing away, yet you can't hear any music. It really is a fun time. Flashlight really gets people moving. If you ever find yourself in Dayton, OH, hit up Yellow Cab Tavern.
That sounds fun!
Ohio and are insane phucery. God I love this state.
This is what we call P Funk
You are moving and grooving from the get go..true Funk! As a white woman who had multiple race friends in the 70s,.worked at camp inner city kids Boston.. in Maine. We teen counselors listened to records with our multicultural campers..dancing, grooving.. my little kids used to say, " she can dance for a white girl or blue eyed soul sista"...I loved it..still do.. music connections are from a pure place!! At 61, honey, most of all..help me find the funk!! I love ❤ your channel because your smile lights up the space!!!
I just love 70's music so much. I was born in '69. I was heavily influenced by so much music growing up. Between my parents, grandparents and so many aunts & uncles that all hard such a wide range of different music I was constantly introduced to so much great music! Love this reaction, Angela!
lol..."We Want the Funk"...
You have to love George Clinton.
Hey Angela, don't forget Parliament's "Motor Booty Affair"...... and "...shine the spotlight on it!"
Much love!
Wise inclusion. Parliament is essential '70s.
No, it isn't background music for family gatherings. This is Funk! meaning everybody on the dance floor partying their asses off. It's a musical masterpiece where you just let yourself ride the beat and feel free to have fun.
This was a really big hit!!!
fun to watch these gang bands...the stage was one big party😀☮️
The LEGENDARY Iconic Parliament ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's a great day to jam out. Lol
Everybody has a little light under the sun is self-explanatory wow!
(ICONIC LEGENDARY FUNK (so ✅ out the tribute band (🎸 tanglewisultrafunktruckadelic 🎸) and free yo mind and yo azz will surely shine 🎤
Don't forget a group like CAMEO in the late 70's. Songs such as "SHAKE YOUR PANTS" or "I JUST WANT TO BE", were the epitome of the new and quick growing FUNK era at that time.
Check out their song, Aqua boogie. It's Fire!✌️
Night of the Thumpasaurus People,is a great groove to dance to,as well! 🙂
I was one of the lucky ones to see them live in concert back in 90's... the whole night of dancing & FUN!!!
A show for the ages, no doubt. George and the P funk. Glad to see that once upon a night.
You will dance!!!
Boynton Middle School. I was in 8th grade.
To those people who never saw a P-Funk concert in the seventies i feel sorry for you the vibe was totally different compared to watching them from the eighties onward. Plain and simple if you never saw the landing of the mothership live you didnt see a P-Funk concert. By the way Bootsy is the drummer on this song which was his until he gave it to Parliament. Which changed the concept of both albums.
This will always be my favorite 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you want to go down a funk rabbithole, please do Sly and the Family Stone. Stand, Dance to the Music, Hot Fun in the Summertime, Sing a Simple Song, Family Affair, I Want to Take You Higher, Everyday People... they´re just incredible. The first band ever to have black and white, male and female all together.
Parliament, Funkadelic, Brides of Funkenstein, Booty’s Rubber Band, Parlet. Great stuff!
Flashlight one of the most sampled songs ever Bernie worrell on synthesizers rip, catfish collins on that guitar and bootsy on drums
Funk is its own reward.
If you like this song, you'll probably like "Maggot Brain," also by Parliament.
Just being nitpicky: It's a Funkadelic track. But yes, great recommendation.
More likely Mothership Connection or Aqua Boogie!
This was played at my high school prom 1978
I didn't think you would do Funk! George Clinton had other musical projects too, like Funkafelic! These types of songs make me think of low riders for some reason, and that community seems to idolize Mary Wells for some unknown reason! That's my 2 cents for this particular reaction!
PURE UNCUT FUNK 🤘🏾
Awesome band 🌹😉🌹👊💐✊🌺🖤🤜🌺
Why she didn’t play the 12 minute version 😂
🔥 🔥 🔥
This the jam
I love Flashlight!!! & The Parliaments are so off the chane It's crazy. but there Funk is the best!!!!
Gotta love funkadelics
Class of 73 oh yeah i was funking it up,it was just a magical time riding around in my 66 mustang getting my fro and wardrobe together had to step out at the disco right baby
Wow oh yes. The reaction is as much as the performance. I love watching you.
I saw the Commodores at the Christchurch town hall New Zealand in 1997.
Their saying everybody got a little light to make the person their talking about in the song. He wouldn't dance to the funk
The 80's was a terrific, nay, fine era to have been alive in. Except for all the color hair gel that had "secret" pheromones so dudes could have girls follow them around everywhere. Well I guess if you were buying said hair gel for that purpose it wasn't really a "secret". Those silly 80's!
Dig Bootsy's bass on that one.
Bootsy isn't playing bass on this song. Bernie Worrell was on his minimoog synthesizer.
@@lavantwooten2581 I stand corrected.
@@steelers6titles It fools lots of experts also. There was another reaction where the guy went on and on about the bass rift.
I know every note of this song in my head, as I'm guessing many do. Go to about the 1:00 of the song (not the reaction) and close your eyes and really listen to what is thought to be a bass and listen as Worrell walks it down and back up. You can pick up the synthesizer as he walks it back to the high end.
You can win some bets with people who think this is Bootsy. Truth is Bootsy didn't want to play it, and I really believe this song doesn't quite work without Bernie's genius.
Wayment. I'm lookin' at you groovin'. Iont think this yo' first time on Flash Light.
I wonder what would be said when someone is reacting to a Cardi-b song...45 years later.
The fact Angela you are even moving and funking to this song - George Clinton and his merry band succeeded in making their point.
girl you on some roller skates and a big afro to this song.........
I like the way you move......
time to get really woke sis... the light line should be self explanatory! lol
!!!!!!!! FUNK. !!!!!! ON !!!!!! EVERYONE!!!!!
good ole moog bass
It's a song by someone on drugs and for people on drugs.
Going back to 90s clubbin' I didn't care for most of the contemporary stuff and I would constantly pester the DJs to play this song and others like it. That synth really gives human butts to take on lives of their own.
My first concert was seeing Parliment at Madison Square Garden when I was in the 10th grade with five of my friends. The whole place was a party except there were 14,000 people there.
try... one nation under the grove.
Angela 💕 before we end the 70s, here some late ones. Donald Bryd Falling Like Dominos. Since you were talking about Boogie 💯 the other day, Jimmy Castor Bertha Butt Boogie 💯😆. Ohio Players Funky Worm, a little funk you say KC and Sunshine Band, Do You want to party, Foxy Get Off, Peter Brown, Dance With Me, and Do you want to get funky. Happy Music and Rock Creek Park.
Hi young lady a lot of West Coast rappers use samples of their songs in their music i.e. Snoop, Dr.Dre, & NWA...etc
Funk depravation 😂
everybody has a little life on the sun.
Dam girl
Get on down Girl...
You feeling it
Get it girl 💃
♥️
could also add Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force or even early Prince as they were also in this late 70s groove funk sound
"November Rain", "Paradise City", & "Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns and Roses
I agree I could say Chaka Khan Commodores is Funk but the real funky groups are the Bar-Kays Cameo The Gap Band Rick James confunkshun Teena Marie group Zapp and Prince
I know there are so many songs from the 1970's you could choose from, but can I make a suggestion of "Amateur Hour" by Sparks? (1974)?
Science fiction meets funk
Perfect comparison
Take it easy. Like a woodpecker with a headache.
Jiggly
I got to say, you look slightly uncomfortable trying to get funky, and that is not negative as you're not of that era and you have to accept what you get this era. It is for special listening, not everyday use. You are so smooth.
