Wake y'all's asses up.....give it up for "Body Slam" by Bootsy Collins. It's time for me to wake this place up with some hardcore funk. Give it up for "Body Slam" by Bootsy Collins. If that song don't wake you up then you've been dead for years. Andy is a four letter word. | |

there's an interesting story about this song.It is actually a remix of another song from his album.They added new lyrics and stuff,and it became an entirely different tune...and a big hit too.Does anyone have all the details? According to allmusic... Bootsy Collins' late-'70s, early-'80s chart decline is still thought-provoking. Collins was releasing great singles like "F-Encounter" and "Shine-O-Myte (Rag Popping)" but fans were more interested in his album offerings. In fact, a 1982 album track became the genesis of this danceable track. This song originally came from "Countracula (This One's for You)." While the song is one of Bootsy's customarily fun offerings, the Countracula premise was inane. But there was good musicianship underneath the gunk. Unfortunately, at this time Bootsy seemed a little disconsolate, and as his sales begin to slip, so did his confidence. To obtain that elusive punch that was lacking, Collins enlisted the help of Philly club mixers for this track. It worked. Nikki Martinelli and David Todd brought up the rhythm guitar, spotlighted the female backing vocals, and Collins' better lyrics showed up this time around. This was his biggest hit since 1979's "Jam Fan (Hot)." Although this doesn't have the hard-driving, quirky sound of most P-Funk efforts, it was in line with the work coming from the Los Angeles-based label Solar. But unlike a lot of the work that came to typify early-'80s R&B, Collins made sure the drums were live. He played them himself along with space bass, keyboards, guitar, and percussion. Is this type of recording less potent than "pure" P-Funk? Who cares? This rocks. If anything, this proves how hard and skillfully Collins worked to get a hit and this dancefloor gift is a present for his fans. Both tracks are included on...

This song is slammin'! (No pun intended). Electronic, but it still grooves. And I love the chorused out rhythm guitar on that jam too. | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 Yeah, I have those. As much as I dig Bootsy, I never really dig this cut. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Love it,but I don't understand why it sounds like  I DON'T WANT TO BE NORMAL,because normal is part of the status quo,which I don't want to be a part of- Tori Amos | |

 There is only one Bootsy and I thank God that he's on earth with us during my lifetime.  | |
