I love this song.
Definitely a big nod to Funkadelic on an album George Clinton produced. Totally a circa-1984 version of the Funkadelic songs taking #shots at "Doofus" and "Earth Wind and No Fire" as part of their <i>Let's Take it to the Stage</i> manifesto of being the best band on earth when it came to performing. This ideal was really influential to the Chili Peppers and Public Enemy (who sampled the fuck out of <i>Let's Take it to the Stage</i>), ultimately two of the best live bands of the 1980s

All and said and done, Chili Peppers from 1983 to 1991 has more classics than any of these bands. They really won this war both commercially and critically.

First to the rock and roll hall of fame too, though I suspect Duran Duran can't be too far behind...

I'll be pretty surprised if Duran Duran beats H&O to the hall of fame. Figure all those '70s pop-rock acts left out will get ushered in before we bring in low-cred new romantics

This sounds like the J Geils Band more than Funkadelic to me

Voting for the one I would be most bummed to see with a goose egg, so I'm voting for Zapp

^^ my vote (runners-up: Soft Cell and H&O I guess)
― instant coffee happening between us (a passing spacecadet), Sunday, 6 May 2012 22:02 (1 year ago) Permalink
Zapp, then Soft Cell, and then either H&O or RHCP
Lol xp

seeing as how Zapp was at the root of Clinton's cross-label empire going kablooey kinda wonder if it wasn't his influence behind the lyrical reference
cuz I kinda doubt Kiedis or Flea would seriously argue they're better than Zapp and Roger

voting RHCP
as for their new shit, jesus wept. I heard 'Look Around' off the new album and it seriously almost put me off my food. They've really gone to Chris Cornell-esque lengths to make me hate them.
I'll totally cosign Whiney's wish for a pre-95 RHCP concert.
