It sounds completely different - it's an instrumental, apart from "We blew your mind" at the end". I've always wondered what the connection was, if any. There is absolutely no connection between them. Sly's "Sex Machine" is a long, slow funky blues jam while James Brown's "Get up (I feel like being a) sex machine" is an uptempo, horn driven, dancy, funk tune | |

Geez! I thought he was dead, too. Kinda weird and creepy, yet awesome that he's back. Maybe he and Prince can do a collaboration.
