George Clinton: Difference between revisions

* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]]: "March to the Witch's Castle" (Justified in the line, "Help him understand that when his loved one remarried, they were truly under the impression that he was dead and would never return").

* [[Careful With That Axe]]: A few times in "Bop Gun (Endangered Species)".

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Oh yeah. Listen to some of his lyrics, read his song titles... hell, just look at his onstage costumes. "Eccentric" is putting it mildly. Probably because of all the drugs.

* [[Concept Album]]: An entire P-Funk mythology, as a matter of fact.

** And Parliament's "Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk" has:

{{quote| ''Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?''<br />

''Yes sir, yes sir, a nickel-bag full'' ([[Don't Explain the Joke|that's drug slang for... something]]) }}

* [[Looney Tunes]]: Theme quoted in "Sir Nose D'Voidofunk"

* [[Looped Lyrics]]

* [[Stage Names]]

* [[Take That]]: "Let's Take It to the Stage" contains jokes at the expense of various funk bands like [[Sly And The Family Stone|Slick and the Family Prick]], [[Rufus|Sloofus]], [[Kool And The Gang|Fool and the Gang]] or [[Earth Wind and Fire|Earth Hot Air and No Fire]]. Also insinuates that the 17 minute gap in the Watergate tapes was erased because that's where [[Richard Nixon]] recorded himself doing drugs.

 

=== The P-Funk mythology provides examples of: ===

* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Sir Nose again.

* [[Heroic Archetype]]: Starchild, Mr. Wiggles.

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Sure, he's a sucker who can't dance or swim and wants to impose the Zone of Zero Funkativity on humanity, but Sir Nose is so incompetent you wonder why Starchild even bothers.

* [[Laughing Mad]]: Sir Nose ''yet again.''
