Oh yeah! Break it down.

Yo! Wassup?? This is Lil' T-Rex and DJ Nan.D.NeE. Grand Funkmaster Noah Funky Monkey is directing this piece of classic His-Stor-EE for ya'll. See. You've been fooled. Those kids today... they don't know what real music is all about. Rap this. Rap that. We're talking Old Skool here. US3 sampling some Herbie Hancock. Yeah. That's where it's at. Don't know what we're talking about?

We're about to break it down for ya.

Here we go!

Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know we have something special for you at Birdland this evening. A recording for Blue Note Records

What's that? yeah yeah yeah
funky funky, how bout a big hand now?
wait, wait a minute


Groovy groovy
jazzy funky pounce bounce dance as we
Dip in the melodic
sea, the rhythm keeps flowin, it drips to MC
Sweet sugar pop
sugar pop rocks it pops ya dont stop
Till the sweet
beat drops
I show and prove
as a stick in move
Hear the poems
recited on top of the groove
Smooth, mind,
floating like a butterfly
Notes start to
float, suttle like a lullabye
Brace yourself as
the beat hits ya
Dip trip, flip
fantasia

(ah, ah, ah,
what's that? biggity biggity bop)



Feel the beat
drop, jazz and hip hop
Drippin in the
dome, and mix is on the lock
Funk and fusion, a
fly illusion
Keeps ya coastin
on the river we cruisin
Up down round and
round, round the found
But nevertheless
ya gots to get down
Finesse the freak
thru the beat so unique
Ya move your feet,
the sweat from the heat



Ah, Fun-ky, Fun-ky!


Peace Out. Word to your mother.

**This is what happens when you're married to a man who loves old jazz and hip hop blends. He's also got a thing for African Tribal music. You should see Lil T-Rex and DJ Nan.D.NeE when Sim breaks out Afro-Celt Soundsystem. Oh yeah!

Here's the original US3 video for all you people who were in college back in '93.

Peace out, ya'll.

Awesome...simply awesome.

I hopped over here from Christine's "Welcome to my Brain", and just wanted to say "Hi" and "Will you be my friend?"! ;-)

Hmmm...1993? This song takes me back! In '93 I gave birth to my first girly...at age 20. Can you say "MTV generation"? 'Course, that was back when they actually PLAYED music.

I love this song, btw. I have it on my iPod, and my girls (I have 4) don't know WHAT to make of it. They KNOW it's cool...they just can't admit it to ME!

We're homeschoolers as well, and we have two kiddos on the Autism spectrum. We are FUN-KY, FUN-KY. Stop by and say HI sometime!
