I had the thesis that when people TRY to play “Funk” as a genre, it sounds like shit; but when someone’s funky, whatever they play has Da Funk. I present this as proof positive. And this should also prove that there’s only two kinds of music: good and bad.

At first, this song was annoying; the beat was decent but the lyrics were repetitive and her voice seemed to clash on top of the music. I thought: “OK, ha ha, it’s funny but it’s not even good comedy seeing as it only has two lines. Why couldn’t she just write more lyrics to at least try to save the song? It’s a novelty song, let me play some real music … ”.
Later, on good speakers (balanced EQ), where the bass was coming in stronger and the sound was better mixed, it started sounding good; “Damn, it’s got a little groove. OK, OK …”.
[Say what you want about the song but, back when, if you were making House in Chicago or New York you had to know a little something.]
Finally, after I saw the guy in the video doing that old House stepping (@ 1:35, on stage, black and white scene), I was trying out my own moves talking about “Don’t want no short dick man!”
This almost made “Too Good Monday” …
