Deep in the groove... one of the baddest funk songs of all time even with its cryptic "fuck you" messages, lol.

It's interesting how the original version of "Thank You" seemed so upbeat and the "Thank You for Talkin' to Me, Africa" version took it down about ten notches.

But even in the original version, Sly was giving his fans and (especially) music critics a fair warning that his mood was about to change:

Thank you for the party, but I could never stay
Many things is on my mind, words in the away


It's fair to say that Sly was sick and tried of smiling all the time.

Right and I think the second version made it MORE clear he was pissed, lol.
