What is this old funky song I heard?

Reminded me of the Ohio Players - the only words I could make out was like a woman's vital statistics "36, 24, 36" or something followed by an "Owww".

I'm sure it must be quite well known.
I know u people worthless scum give no heart but wrath of insults a brain-driven wave of destruction your bite is worse than your vocabulary. Shame on you all of you. Go feed your pigs coward.

Walter Orange, I think. Wasn't he supposed to be the lead singer of the Commodores? Or, perhaps the founder of the group?

It is indeed Clyde Orange (the drummer) singing
lead on "Brick House." All of the original members
of the Commodores attended Tuskegee Institute in Alabama
prior to touring with the Jackson 5 in the early '70s
and eventually signing with Motown.
