[@Hedron-Design]

We want the funk. Gotta have that funk!

[@chrisc7065]

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic bands lifted the spirits of a whole generation of teens in the black community of the 1970s, which took the edge off the difficulties that generation was facing. Thanks George!

Parliament killed it with their 15 minute version! To see them perform that in person was the bomb back in 1978 when I was 14 years old at Madison Square Garden!

[@yolondawaters1106]

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!

[@evelynestrada1]

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 was a 8 year old, this music liberated me from the other music kids in England were listening to. Got me dancing something my teenage self was forever grateful for.

[@DarrielBurleson]

Funny. When I first heard the group name, I pronounced it Pa-ly-a-ment. Then thought, isn't that the British Congress?

I saw Parliament/Funkadelic in 1978 at Madison Square Garden! They turned it out too! I viewed the Mothership coming down in that arena and I was completely captivated and mesmerized! I never had so much fun in my life! Young people just don't know what they have missed with bands and vocalists from those years!

Setting here recovering from a major heart attack. Came across this of George Clinton while recuperating. Being in high school in the Disco period 74-77 in the deep south. The track team coming back from a meet in Ruston, LA, we had won 🏆! The song called "Give Up the Funk" (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)” We called it the disco track dance!The whole school bus was shaking!!! Our victory dance⁰!!!!!I believe our form of personal music system was 8 track and cassette. On the bus it was was a cassette player in a boom box. 1977 before every track meet! I'm old enough to remember the first car entertainment system. You could place 5 or 6 45 inch records in the box start your engine and off with favorite date!😂 pain through replacing after one meet everybody predicted we were lose, we won. We had enough money after that to buy a 6 pack of Olympic Beer and a fifth that cheap rot gut Booms farm apple wine our discussion not about girls and Graduation, but would George Clinton get mad if we just called all his bands "george clinton bands" You know he had four bands: Parliament-Funkadelic, Parliament, The Parliaments and Funkadelic. It was deep. By the finish of the 6 pack Olympic, especially the Boone's Don't think we ever came out with an answer. But good times at 65, seems like yesterday
