"You Scared The Lovin Outta Me" by Funkadelic. For all of the true funksters out there, can any of ya'll wrap your minds around this? Is this song a trip or what? Man, I remember when I was little, my older cousin used to play the "Hardcore Jollies" album to death. Well, whenever it got to this song, I would get kinda scared cuz that beginning is some ghoulish sounding shit. Hell, the whole song is. But, I dug it in a weird way just the same. As I got older, it's become one of my faves from Funkadelic. Who else here likes this very strange but cool song?

DAYUMM!!!! BLACK!!!

The song's cold blooded, huh funkpill? Yeah, the lyrics are waaay out, player.

These verse's are cold:

I thought I knew all there is to do
I stuck out my chest and dove into a love
With ego in charge, I charged into what seemed be the quickest way into manhood.

Eat this for me and from a tiny tree, she plucked a fruit
and placed it on her navel. I was no freak, but I was getting weak
I took the quickest way into her womanhood.

blackguitaristz said:

Other than George Clinton, who else can write lyrics like that????

My favorite on that album is "Smokey"

Bernie's key's at its best.....

The singing arrangements just
blows me away each time I listen to it....

You're on it Black!!!

funkpill said:

Thanx, player. Yeah, "Smokey" is tight as well. "Adolescent Funk" is some Pink Floyd "Dark Side Of The Moon" shit.

blackguitaristz said:

on "Adolescent Funk"....
Like I said, Bernie at his best!!!

Ok fellas, its time for Ms Legs to give her on this Funk. Now, this cut had to be one of the most profound cuts that George and the crew has come up with up especially the part about: "getting weak I took the quickest way into her womanhood." Now, that is some deep shit. Hell, after thinking about it makes me want to quote a verse from one of his other cuts. Damn!

"How About Some Doobie In Your Funk?"

Hotlegs said:

You know your funk Ms. Legs!!!
Marry me....

What about the beginning of "Soul Mate"???

Given a chance, I would love the hell
out of you little girl....Don't cha' know...

Give me a sign, to let me know,
that its alright to desire you...
Need you....

Hotlegs said:

Yes Legs, they went straight to the goodies!!!!

funkpill said:

Yep.

funkpill said:

You scared the lovin outta me is a jam, but Smokey is my shit!!!

sinisterpentatonic said:

Damn, Sinister! Nosferatu! Very, very cool!

HARDCORE JOLLIES!!!!

Hmmm, don't think I ever heard this one ... PSYCH!!!

Actually, when I first heard this album when it came out it was mostly too intense for me. It took me a couple of years to really start getting into it. The first cuts I really dug were Comin' Round the Mountain, Smokey, Hardcore Jollies and Cosmic Slop (did you know this version is from the Newberg Session P-Funk rehearsal session album -- THAT album is one of my all-time favorites!). Over the years, I have come to appreciate everything on the album. It has unjustly been referred to filler as because George was splitting the good stuff between this, his first Warner Bros. album, and Tales of Kidd Funkadelic, his final Westbound release. They both came out around the same time in 1976. I have always liked Hardcore Jollies the best between the two, but Tales has grown on me as well over the years.

PEEEACE!

I saw george(with Bernie) last night in New Orleans : )

Yeah, as a kid, I LOVED "Tales of Kidd Funkadelic". I loved the album cover. Another bite from KISS. Look at the backside of the cover when the "baby" transforms from wearing a diaper to the Gene Simmons outfit! Anyway, I also dug "Hardcore Jollies" as well, but differently. As a kid, I loved "Comin Round The Mountain'. I liked that song the best, followed by the live version of "Cosmic Slop".

Ms Legs, I thought u could dig it cuz I mentioned KISS, along with Parliament/Funkadelic, my two alltime fave bands in the world!

this track is another example of how deep Funkadelic was --- when I first heard this stuff, I was too young to grasp any of it , I just knew it was some spooky shit, but even back then I was hooked--it's amazing how many layers their stuff has--it plugs into something deep inside you, it's the kind of stuff that draws you in, whether you're ready or not...

yep.

been meaning to chime in on this thread too... BG

Song used to and still kinda scares the shit outta me. But now it's definitely a good thing. Definitely one of my favorite Funkadelic cuts.

YEAHHH!!!!

Hardcore Jollies is a masterpiece. My friends and I used to argue over who did the lead solo on "Comin' Round The Mountain". I swore up and down it was Eddie, and he swore it was Mike Hampton. I was happy once "Rest In P" came out and had the extended jam of that song. It shut him up REAL quick (lol). "Smokey" shows the Curtis Mayfield influence to a whole new level. And like black guitarist, P-Funk and KISS were my 2 favorite bands back in the day too.

i loved the fact that they turned a kids limerick in2 a classic riff...and if u dont know what i'm gettin at the opening guitar riff "is theres a place in france where the ladies wear no pants".....
