Sorry, the correct answer is "Give It Up, Turn It A Loose". I know you like that one best.

Now that you mention it, I still haven't heard the full 12 minute version of "Make It Funky"

The full-length 14+ minute "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothin' ".

It does go on a bit , but Bootsy's bass is awesome...

For Awhile my favorite would've been Get Up Offa That Thing until I found out that James Brown didn't write it and I was heartbroken.

But anyway, as obvious as my choice might be, I don't think I could live without Sex Machine, probably THE definitive funk tune of all time. Then again, Talkin Loud and Sayin Nothin, and I don't want nobody to give me nothing are pretty damn good too, and with meaningful lyrics...Damn this is too hard

There are lots and lots, but probably my favourites are....

Cold Sweat
Get on the Good Foot
Stone to the Bone

Dman If I had to pick just one JB jam it would have to be "GET UP OFF THAT THANG" that part in the song where JB goes; BARRY WHITE I'M MAD" is classic.

I'll name just 1...

"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood...NOBODY!"

Hell, I'm white and I be damned if I would live somewhere that has no black folks. I would die of boredom. -vainandy

Stone To The Bone

Papa's Got A Brand New Bag

There are tons of others but I wanna play fair. Even though it is one of his well-known, popular songs, I love it cuz I break out in air guitar and I have a little dance in between the air guitar moments. It's a fun song.

SUPER BAD!!!!! (parts 1 and 2)

I don't know who played guitar on that song, but hot damn, it's some of the funkiest lick I've ever heard.
