Funkadelic - (Not Just) Knee Deep

From the 1979 Warner Bros. album, "Uncle Jam Wants You"

[@GREATTECH1]

I'M ROCKING THIS on June 1, 2024 just like I did in 1976. THIS JAM WILL NEVER GROW OLD. I lost my mind! I'd NEVER heard anything like this before, and to tell the truth I STILL haven't. I'm almost 72 now, and this still gets my body rockin'. Funkadelic and UNCLE JAM... I tell the youngsters all the time..."You had to BE there"....lol. LOVE IT FOREVER. I STILL GOT IT...

Crazy my mom loved this song so much she told us to play this song at her funeral because she didn’t want anyone to be sad. And years later when she passed we played it at the end towards viewing her her body and everyone went some being sad to happy dancing to the music to say good bye to her. She always wanted people happy even after she was gone.

I was six years old when this song came out. My older brother and sister used to bump it constantly. They imprinted it in my young brain. A decade later, still unable to get those melodies and all that funk out of my head, I went looking for it in record stores. My sister was so high when she used to bump the record that she couldn't remember what the exact name of the song was. She just called it "The Freak." Well, I went and bought every P-Funk album I could find trying to locate this song, not realizing that Funkadelic albums on Warner Brothers were out of print at that time, and no record stores were carrying them. I finally found a bootleg 12" copy pressed just for DJs, but not before I had bought up all their other music. Listening to all their other records, i became a hardcore fan and started studying all the liner notes and going to all their shows. I probably have a good 50 P-Funk shows under my belt at this point, in all their various iterations: P-Funk All-Stars, Bootsy, Original P, Bernie Worrell and the Woo Worriers, Maceo and Fred... P-Funk is the soundtrack of my life, and their shows have been some of the best memories of my life.

[@breezecanada4038]

I remember the day this aired for the first time on the radio in Saginaw, Michigan. The station was WWWS (W3Soul) and they were jamming all morning, then the deejay announced this new jam from Funkadelic. I was laid back in the driver's seat of a Cadillac and it was right before school was about to come back from summer break. I remember coming down the boulevard, cruising at about 20 miles per hour with a 40-Oz of Miller beer between my thighs when this song dropped. Just that intro alone almost made me wrap that Caddy around a telephone pole. Mannnnnnnn, I was so hyped that I couldn't sit still. I had to pull over in a convenience store parking lot to listen to the rest of this amazing groove. That was August of 1979 and on that day, this became my favorite song and still remains my favorite song even now. The brilliance of George Clinton's creativity, Junie Morrison's musicality, Michael Hampton's smoking hot guitar solo and Phillippe Wynne's ad-libs just made this an astronomical HIT! But here's a little something that many of you may have not known: If you've heard the song as many times as I have, you realize that the real star of this song is the drums. That beat was insane (especially at the intro), but did you know that the drummer for this song was actually Bootsy Collins? Yep, it's true. Long live the Funk.

[@ROJO25]

Yes sir! How about that African Cuica? aka The Monkey Drum. This entire track is exquisite and introduced me to a new instrument. Just a masterpiece of musicality! NOBODY does it better.
