Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Title of song: I Got a Thing, You Got a Thing, Everybody's Got a Thing Artist: Funkadelic Title of album: Funkadelic Year of first release: 1970 Songwriter: George Clinton Memorable Lyrics: "Behold! I am Funkadelic/I am not of your world/But fear me not/I will do you no harm" Compare to the first song off the same album "... all that is good is nasty" The definition of soul according to George Clinton "Soul is a hamhock in your cornflakes" "Soul, soul is the ring around your bathtub" "Soul is a joint rolled in toilet paper" "Soul is rusty ankles and ashy kneecaps" "Soul is chitlins foo yung" "...orange haze, orange haze, it ain't purple no more" This is probably a reference to "Purple Haze", a song by Jimi Hendrix Complete lyrics at the Motherpage The first part of the song reiterates many of the same points as Mommy, What's a Funkadelic, that Funkadelic and the Funk (see P Funk mythology) are alien in origin but not dangerous. The second part attempts to answer the question of what a soul is (see the five conclusions above). The song also contains the sound of someone smoking marijuana out of a bong.
