Inspired by the thread about Vulfpeck and whether a particular track of there's is "funky" or not...

I'm curious about the spectrum of what is considered "funky" by people on TB. Please post examples of songs you consider "funky". They don't necessarily have to be "funk" - just something you would describe as "funky".

A couple of tracks which to me are funky, but are not at all what I would call "funk":

Keb Mo Am I Wrong - YouTube

Bring It On (Acoustic) - YouTube

When something says Funk this is the First thing that comes to mind:
Chaka Kahn “Tell Me Something Good”

Swing and a miss.
Both of you do not grasp of the concept of "Funky"

James Brown - My faves by him are Superbad, Big Payback, and Pap's Got a Brand new bag

 

[LBS-bass]

These guys are pretty funky to my ear. Plus what could go wrong with MonoNeon in there?



Yeah, I know it's really kinda jazzy, but I don't mind.

Sorry if this is a repeat of another post but I didnt take the time to read all the previous ones...

The bands that didn't lip sync on Soul Train, you know they could lay it down. Here's a badass example.

Music evolves so much that it's impossible to keep narrow definitions based on what it first was. I love me all that seminal 1970s funk that most people typically define as funk, but "funk/funky" has become so much more since then. It's become a versatile entity in our vernacular (musical or otherwise).

"Funky" has become such a broad term. Like, even though this is a metal song, the way it "bounces" and makes me bob my head and body... it just FEELS "funky" to me, from my hair all the way down to my toes.

So, yeah, many folks would probably chastise me for saying this song is funky... but my whole entire body viscerally feels "yeah, this is funky!" whenever I hear it.

It's "Oasis" by Puya

The Mothership is landing



So funky, I wanna take off my watch and ring



It's Happenin'!

 

[Jack Butler]

I don't know if this meets the definition or not, but seems funky to me...

Did someone put these in yet?

This has been one of my favorite songs for years. Super funky.
