Anybody ever hear P-Funk's cover of Erotic City?

I was watching the movie P.C.U. today and enjoyed that cover version very much. It also wouldn't hurt to mention that the movie was pretty funny. Anybody else see this?

I'm a fan of the ParliaFunkadelicMent Thang ...
but I don't like this version of Erotic City.
Prince's version is far superior.

Seems to me that GC en Prince are falling down together!

Arto lindsay's cover is interesting too.

Don't see the point in the P-funk one, simply because it is VERY close to Prince's version

I got the CD single of this, there's a long and short version.

It pretty much stays true, and the drum loop is almost identical, which is what drives the song, thus is a faithful cover

Yep. It adds next to nothing to the original but despite that I really like it a lot!
