The funkiest tune ever...

[souljacker]

The theme tune to "Monkey!"

 

[Erich Zann]

Trampled underfoot - Led Zeppelin. Well, it is almost the riff from superstition anyway.
Shifting Gears - Jonny Hammond
Fools gold - Stone Roses

 

[djbombscare]

Is dee-lites groove is in the heart funky enough ?

 

[killer b]

The theme tune to "Monkey!"

i own that on the bbc 7-inch single. it is indeed very funky.

 

[zenie]

Fools gold - Stone Roses

You're joking right - doesn't eactly make YOU want to 'get on the floor and dance' does it???

good song but surely not FUNK

 

[Fozzie Bear]

It is The Meters. End of.

Honorable mention for "Apache" by the Incredible Bongo band tho.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

The Pioneers 'Na na hey hey kiss him goodbye". Not the Steam version, The Pioneers one was the funky one with the percussion breakdown in the middle 8.

I've got the Steam version and I'm pretty sure it has a percussive breakdown in the middle.

 

[Clintons Cat]

The Temptations-Ball Of Confusion

Curtis Mayfield- Superfly

Issac Hayes- Theme From Shaft

 

[Idaho]

Mountains - Prince. Is that funk?

 

[El Sueno]

I've got the Steam version and I'm pretty sure it has a percussive breakdown in the middle.

Hmmm... I'll ask Robert Elms which is the version he always plays, maybe I'm getting confused m'sel'.

"If you dont like, what you see here........"

lmao, 'Extreme'... I think any song with a sweep-picked guitar solo should be considered void in this section!

'pends what funk means to you. Look it up in dictionary - you probably won't find a definintion. Someone put maggot brain, I don't think that's very funky. Great, but doesn't want to make me dance - your definintion, not mine.

 

[nathansears]

Badder than Evil - Hot Wheels

 

[Boogie Boy]

'Funky Like A Train' The Equals.

BB

 

[Sunspots]

i own that on the bbc 7-inch single. it is indeed very funky.

Me too. It is.

 

[souljacker]

Me too. It is.

I win then. It's decided.

 

[treefrog]

Superstition, easily. Makes me want to dance just thinking about it

do-do-do-do doooo

 

[El Sueno]

Na na hey hey kiss him goodbye

I've got the Steam version and I'm pretty sure it has a percussive breakdown in the middle.

Elms just played The Pioneers version on his 94.9 show, that was the one I was thinking of. I think it was the original, recorded in a little studio flat in Kentish Town apparantly. Makes me sing!

 

[Biffo]

Boogie Nights - Heatwave
Boogie Wonderland - Earth Wind & Fire
Buffalo Stance - Neneh Cherry

will have to check that one out n all then...

 

[slowth]

The Gap Band-You dropped a bomb on me

 

[Jazzz]

I'm going to allow people to make more than three nominations.

I'd like to nominate

The Popcorn - James Brown instrumental which is DAMN funky. Also 'Mother popcorn'... hot damn!

I wish - Stevie Wonder. Those horns!

 

[Jazzz]

Issac Hayes- Theme From Shaft

Have you heard the theme from "Shaft in Africa"?

- much funkier IMHO

 

[Apathy]

a few i think are very funky...

JBs - hot pants (i'm comin)
aretha franklin - rock steady
maceo & the macks - cross the tracks

 

[gentlegreen]

I really can't choose individual tunes, but I think the answer must involve Bootsy, Larry Graham or George Porter Jr.

<... searching for "Graham Central Station" will now be my motivation for sorting out the chaos that is my CD collection before the week is out ... >

"People ask me everywhere
they say, is that really all your hair?
I just tell them if it ain't
well it sho' don't mean that now I cain't
cuz I don't believe it's fair
to judge a man
by the length of his hair....."

 

[Maggot]

You're joking right - doesn't eactly make YOU want to 'get on the floor and dance' does it???

good song but surely not FUNK

I think it's funky and danceable - it has wah wah!

 

[Mation]

Another vote for Superstition here.

 

[zenie]

I think it's funky and danceable - it has wah wah!

ok ok it's not my poll just when I think of funk I think of 70's funk iynwim

 

[jasoon]

superstition, sir duke, higher ground

 

[stavros]

DJ Mark The 45 King - "The 900 Number".

OK, it doesn't change whatsoever for the whole song but goddamn, why does it need to when it oozes funk out of every orifice?

 

[jeff_leigh]

Rufus Thomas - Walking the Dog
