Since he recorded and toured with Frank Zappa in the 70s, the fact that he would cover the tune makes sense.

PARLIAMENT- FUNKADELIC- Flashlight
LOL I dont think nothing tops that for me...

I think Funkadelic and Parliament had more funkier songs than the ones listed, especially that damn "Flashlight". I know, I know, it was a touchstone funk classic but most of the time whenever P-Funk are brought up, this song, "Give Up the Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)", "Mothership Connection", "One Nation Under a Groove", "Atomic Dog" (yes I consider it a P-Funk song, not just a George Clinton solo since technically it WAS P-Funk) and "(Not Just) Knee Deep" are always automatically brought up and I'm thinking "no they had MORE than that!" | |

Of course they did... but when you think of P-Funk you automatically think of One Nation, Mothership, Give up the Funk...
When I think of the genre Funk in general their main classic songs always the first to pop in my mind | |

Another random 10. "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

I am altering the question a bit because technically it is a 100s way tie for the 10 best funk songs of the 70s and 80s (and maybe 60s which depends on the official birth date of "funk".).
This list is in my opinion a justified group of candidates for a top 10 funk list, tunes that don't get the credit that they deserve.

Yeah, that does change things... a personal list of favorite Funk tunes that are underrated, don't get credit, (or just unknown in some cases)....
Mutiny - Burning Up
Betty Davis -"Anti -Love Song"
Osiris - "Gritt On It"
Wood Brass and Steel - "Funkanova" (from the 1:48 point.....)
Mutiny - Lump
Slave - Never Get Away
Stargard -Which Way is Up
Faze -O - Riding High
Junie Morrison - 'Can't Get Over Losing You'
Funkadelic - Icka Prick (Headphones, please! Like George said, "We're Gonna Be Nasty This Year"!)
