This is Dr.
Funkenstein.
This is gonna be one of the first of my installments of covering some Parliament Funkadelics
So this is actually my very first Parliament Funkadelic that I covered in all these years.
But anyway, this is Dr.
Funkenstein.
It's just a nice syncopated
Bass line that you just gotta get in the groove and feel the funk of what Bootsy was doing in this song.
