Parliament-Funkadelic - Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)


This is a music video from the classic funk group Parliament-Funkadelic (Funkadelic was a sister act of George Clinton's first project Parliament, it's a rather complicated band-history, but the two groups were basically a music collaboration collective, in short terms. The credited writers of this song are George Clinton, Bootsy Collins and Jerome Brailey.
The song is off Parliament's album titled "Mothership Connection". It is one of the most recognizable P-Funk songs and also their best selling single ever reaching gold in 1976 (the same year as the single's release).
The song has become quite familiar in pop-culture and has been sampled on numerous occasions by artists like Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. An example of this can be found in Snoop Dogg's song "Undacova Funk" featuring Bootsy on the track. (Embeded below)

I think it's a really good song, and it has a nice jazz vibe, not just in the progression, but in the way the musicians are playing off each other. A very good funk song indeed.

Enjoy ; )
