    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.

    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.

    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!

    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........
