Say i'm caught up in... this traffic jam... i'm gonna teach 'em how ta BODY SLAM!

Yes oh yes ! evilking As a tribute to Bootsy's current tour, a back-to-back post of this traffic jam & "Countracula."

"Body Slam" only appeared on single and seems a sort of rework from the album-track "Countracula."

Great job done as well by the studio techs, as it sounds loud 'n clear on the maxi-single format.

Interesting trivia: initially, Bryan Loren was asked to perform the piano-solo on the session.

At the time he was a fresh new talented cat on the scene, such as other keyboardist Bernard "Nard" Wright.

Bryan had done some other session-work with Fat Larry's Band around those years as well.

He couldn't attend the Body Slam-session through circumstances, so the late & great Kae Williams, Jr. (from the group Breakwater) took his place.

Now on with the party, and everyone who might be going to one of Bootsy's upcoming shows... turn on that roto-rooter and keep on rag poppin' that ultra wave headbang pimp fro pimp2
