maggot brain

These musical revolutionaries turned out their strangest mindfunk of all. Switching back and forth from Parliment to Funkadelic, George Clinton, Eddie Hazel, Tawl Ross, Bernie Worrell, Billy Bass Nelson, and Tiki Fulwood (with a little help from Fuzzy Haskins, Calvin Simon, Grady Thomas, and Ray Davis) made something completely unique with 'Maggot Brain' by blending heavy funk with pychedelic rock, mixed in gospel, blues, folk, country; and threw in wild sound effects, because that's the way they roll.

 'Maggot Brain'

The raw emotional quality of Eddie Hazel's slow building, mind melting, wah wah guitarwork on the amazing title track is like jazz.

"Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, cause y'all have knocked her up."

'Can You Get To That?'

"When you base your life on credit

And your loving days are done

Checks you signed with love and kisses

Later come back signed 'insufficient funds'"

'Hit It And Quit It'

"You can shake it to the east

Shake it to the west

Hit it

Good god, hit it and quit it

You can shake it to the one you love the best"

'You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks'

"If you and your folks love me and my folks like

Me and my folks love you and your folks

If there ever was folks

That ever ever was poor"

The hip shaking 'Wars Of Armageddon' uses crying babies, cuckoo clocks, canned laughter, and bomb blasts to make its funky point.

"Look at that pollution!

It's a fat funky person"
