| | P Funk mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A series of concept albums and live shows, primarily from Parliament and Funkadelic, have a group of recurring characters, themes and ideas that are collectively referred to as the P Funk mythology. | | | One central concept is Maggot Brain (Maggot Brain (Funkadelic, 1971)), and a song on that album, which is a way of thinking which allows one to forget one’s troubles, above which one must rise or else drown along with all the maggots of the Earth. | | | Their mission is to rescue dance music from the doldrums (unFunkiness). |

| | Encyclopedia: Parliament (band) |
| | The song was the biggest hit of P Funk's career. | | | With the ensuing albums, Parliament became one of the most respected bands on the 1970s, and are now recognized as one of the forefathers of funk music. | | | Soon, Parliament was created in addition to Funkadelic and the two bands consisted of essentially the same people (see List of P Funk members), though both released albums under their respective names. |

| | P-Funk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | P-funk is also an abbreviation for "pure funk," a genre of music embodied by the Clinton bands; and "Plainfield Funk," referring to Plainfield, New Jersey, Parliament's hometown. | | | The albums of the period had morphed into concept albums, with bizarre, spacy themes that carried elaborate and pointed political and sociological messages, and were usually linked between albums (see P-Funk mythology). | | | By 1993, most of the old Parliament and Funkadelic albums were re-released, leading to a new emergence of funk and a new tour by the P.Funk All-Stars. |

| | Can You Get to That? |
| | Funk doesn't have to be heard because the aural music is only a physical manifestation of the yet deeper, noumenal galactic vibe, which is always felt by one whose receptors are tuned to Channel One. | | | The sweat is not integral to the music, as it is in funk, in jazz. | | | Although the mythology P-Funk propound, live within, and gas on may sound at first like an overblown reel at an animation festival for phreaks, everything within it has its place in a coherent ideology. |

| | Science Fair Projects - (Not Just) Knee Deep |
| | This song seems to be about both the singer and the girl from "Freak of the Week", discovering the hidden powers of Funk (see P Funk mythology) and their love of dancing to funk music. | | | In the late 80's, LL Cool J recorded a song called "Nitro" that interpolated some parts of this song. | | | "I got ants in my pants and I need to dance/Chicken ain't lickin', the moose wasn't cookin'/Oh, but your music grooved me, it moved me/That music and the beat HA!/Started tryin' liberating my feet/Can this be me, immersed in funk so deep?" |

| | In funk, locking down a rhythm and getting into a groove is the essence of the music, and his riffs are legendary, live or on record. | | | Ace Records plans to rerelease all of Mutiny's material in the U.K. Funkcronomicon, the Axiom Funk release, was released on July 18, 1995. | | | Bootsy was regarded as a lighter side of the funk, with sillier lyrics talking to his Geepies. |

| | ZA@Play - Music: The P-Father of P-Funk 14/01/00 |
| | That music harked back to the funk of James Brown, the black rock of Jimi Hendrix and the blunted, wacked-out groove of Sly and the Family Stone. | | | I have never seen anyone so obviously happy to be on stage, so charged up by the sheer delirious pleasure of the music he was creating. | | | A concept album about aliens invading Earth in order to capture the spirit of P-Funk and transport it back to their own funk-free planet, it was a huge crossover success on the back of the top-10 single Give up the Funk. |

| | This is a much more cohesive album than the previous Funkadelic forays; it sticks with a musical style (hard-edged funk) throughout, instead of veering through genres. | | | The song begins with a spoken word intro that seems to be describing a woman who has the effect of rendering a person unFunky (see P Funk mythology). | | | In contrast to several previous songs with a similar lyrical theme, "Standing on the Verge of Getting It On" shows tremendous growth in songwriting as the suggestion to get Funky also explicity includes a connection with social change and an awakening of the mind, and not just dancing. |

| | In popular music, George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic collective produced numerous concept albums which tied together in what is referred to as P Funk mythology | | | Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, apart from genre, fit the definition; coteries of dedicated fans perform close textual analysis, and real-world letters seeking help continue to be mailed to Holmes's fictional address. | | | It is used to describe mythology specifically created for fantasy or science-fiction books or movie such as The Lord of the Rings, or role playing games, or any mythology that does not exist before the publication or development of such works. |

| | Eddie Hazel |
| | Perhaps apocryphally, George Clinton told Hazel, during the recording session, to "play like your momma just died" and the result was the epic sounds of Hazel's guitar. | | | Eddie Hazel (April 10, 1950 - December 23, 1992) was a pioneering force in early funk music in the United States. | | | The term, "Maggot Brain," refers both to Hazel's incredible intake of various drugs, as well as a mode of thinking which allows one to rise above the "bullshit" of the world, which is inhabited by maggots who have not yet achieved the status of Maggot Brain (see P Funk mythology). |

| | The social dislocation that Clinton seems to feel and express manifests itself primarily in his outer-space mythology of ‘The Mothership' and the mystical significance of ‘the One.' But Clinton 's alternate cosmology does more than simply disorient the mainstream listener. | | | Social and technological progressions were leaving black Americans largely behind, and that fact in combination with rising conservative trends in American society had the potential to produce a powerful sense of alienation. | | | As Vincent goes on to explain, “P-Funk's fantastic science fiction created a series of spectacular ‘otherworlds' that Africans could inhabit freely, in which one could be loving, caring, sensual, psychedelic, and nasty without fear of cosmic retribution, and whites simply did not exist.” |

When Clinton and his b-shop buds known as The Parliaments had a minor hit with 1967's "I Wanna Testify," their vocal group played the Apollo - and bombed. | | | And being musically tight would make it a one-two punch. |
