Sometimes it get weird with George Clinton's Funkadelic. Well, actually, it gets weird very frequently with anything George Clinton does. From 1973, this is Cosmic Slop, and I think that's George in whiteface. Although it is definitely weird, it is also pretty representative of New York City in the early 70s. Also, I swear I've never been at a party like this.
For all the craziness it's a sobering lyric:
I was one of five born to my motherAn older sister and three young brothersWe've seen it hard, we've seen it kind of roughBut always with a smile, she was sure to try to hideThe fact from us that life was really tough
The weirdness, seriousness at times, and musicianship is what makes Funkadelic, Parliament, and Parliament/Funkadelic memorable.
Features Garry Shider on vocals and guitar, Ron Bykowski on lead guitar, Tyrone Lampkin on drums, and bass by Boogie Mosson.
