This was one of those tunes that i thought was going to sound better because of the name title, but when i did, I didnt know WHAT to think of it.

Yeah, I know what u mean. It's a very visual title, like most of Funkadelic's titles. It was never one of my faves by them but I still dig it.

The conversation beginning of this song always reminded me of Pink Floyd's 'Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict', except for the guitar part. lol lol lol

A classic joint. Junie plays all the instruments on the title track and Mike wails throughout on the guitar.

I LOVE the "Funk Gets Stronger-Millameter" jam w/ Sly. He still had it at that time. I wish George would release more of those jams with Sly. And Eddie's clean guitar licks blends in so well.

And "Icka-Pricka" is straight up badass. A great way to end and close (sadly)the Funkadelic funk rock saga.

I know George wanted to make this a double LP but Warner's wouldn't have it. I'm still waiting for George to release the (in his words) "guitar heavy" 21'st century Funkadelic CD.

It's a mixed album but i prefer it to Uncle Jam Wants You which for me was the weakest of all Funkadelic's output. Ok it had Knee Deep on it but the rest i didn't care for. Electro Cuties was another cool song from War Babies.

What it is Spyz? Yeah, in George's words, "Icka- Pricka" is about Prince. He said that he and some of the members were all digging on label mate P's album Dirty Mind and he wanted Funkadelic to do a "Prince like" sex tune. This is what Clinton has said "Icka- Pricka" is based on.

Icka Pricka played backwards = Atomic Dog's beat/track. Check It.

Does anyone have the track listing of the original double album?
I know that some of the discarded tracks ended up on the George Clinton Family Series.
