Flashlight: Parliament w/Prince on Bass!

This is certainly a different take on Flashlight!
I really enjoyed that clip. I get the feeling that Prince was enjoying being one the guys laying down the groove instead of being the star. I think that slower version of Flashlight was plenty funky too.
Dr. Cheese does it again!!!
This is the kind of loose-but-not-sloppy funk that P-Funk does as well as, if not better than, anyone else. Prince fit right in. Is there anything he couldn't do?

Allow me to explain...Write a will.
I mean it's not like the tight Tower Of Power-style funk. It's more laid back; not depending on perfect, precise interplay with drums/bass/horns/etc. I personally prefer this type of groove, although I dig all kinds of funk. I'm sure the P-Funk Mob can play any way they want to. And it certainly wasn't a swipe at Prince - I love me some Prince!
Believe me - there's no bigger P-Funk fan than me!
I did not think you were taking a swipe at anybody. I was just engaging in some dark humor.
OK, cool...just wanted to clarify, especially since we seem to be on the same page regarding funk.
I re-watched the Rave Un2... DVD a couple of weeks ago and the only part of it that I don't like is when Prince tosses that bass across the floor after his jam with Larry Graham. I mean, even Warwicks deserve better than that!

At that time, I think he had some sort of endorsement with Warwick. Prince could afford to toss basses the way I MIGHT toss picks!

So Captain Kirk shoulda had an inkling huh
Doc...I completely whiffed on this!Write a will.
It finally occurred to me that this was an answer to "Is there anything he (Prince) can't do?"
It may take a while, but I eventually get the joke!
We now return you to your originally scheduled programming, already in progress...
Sitting in the woods upon a log, my finger on the trigger my eyes on a hog and I sat back laughing at ya.
Us it what time it is
