It doesn't get much funkier than the bass-playing of Bootsy Collins. One of the most impressive rubberband man bass recordings you'll hear. Just try to follow along, he plays beats between beats...blows the mind how prodigiously amazing he is.
The opening Tear the roof off the sucker words are spoken by Ray Davis. The primary lyrics are grouped in three clusters, with multiple voices, crazy asides, harmonies and shouts. Musically, it all comes around to the main bass riff, also doubled by guitar. It's from Mothership Connection, one of the most influential funk albums ever released.
Wow! did you plan this for now? looks like the pFunk were in manzanita yesterday...tearin' the roofs off the coastal motha suckahs!!!!tropical storm Pfunk, y'all!!!!
