I allways figured "PFUnk" was not the original title.
I wouldnt be surprised it was called "Funky Music" shrug

Plus now if hes going to try to sell this, It would make sense to change the title
If not every one would wonder what the hell the "P" in PFUnk stands for

Hopefully we will find out Tuesday the reason for the name change.

Maybe since he is releasing it tn itunes, he wanted to give it a name that wasn't a "inside joke".

I would like to think he got a call from George Clinton who probably reminded him that there are others that like to sue people too.....

I hear u. Aahh, remember the days when we would get b-sides or maxi singles. Come on from 98', was that his last maxi single? Let's do hope we get an alt version of PFUnk or F.U.N.K. or whatever it's called!

Um, let's not get crazy. There's NOTHING about that song that's remotely true P-Funk like.
