vs. "P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" vs. "Rock the Casbah" "Tear The Roof Off The Sucker (Give Up The Funk)" vs. "London Calling" "Up for the Down Stroke" vs. "I Fought the Law" "Bop Gun (Endangered Species)" vs. "Tommy Gun" "Flash Light" vs. "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" "Aqua Boogy (A Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop)" vs. "Straight to Hell" "Mothership Connection (Star Child)" vs. "Train in Vain" "Do That Stuff" vs. "Lost in the Supermarket" "Chocolate City" vs. "Police On My Back" "Gamin’ on Ya" vs. "Janie Jones" Interesting Fact: George Clinton originally started a doo-wop act in the fifties, called "The Parliaments," (borrowing from cigarette brands commonly offering sophisticated-sounding names for vocal groups). Their transition to funk-monsters was gradual, with the Parliaments' backup band moving forward on the stage, and the Parliaments becoming the band's backup singers. Interesting Fact: Joe Strummer is the only guy, I think, who sang for two bands in our countdown, having fronted the Clash (Pogues, I meant Pogues --- cursed sharpie) during the Hell's Ditch tour, when Shane MacGowan couldn't answer the bell.

Edgy meant, in his ineresting facts, that Joe Strummer fronted the Pogues in the Hells' Ditch tour.

Wow. Mets fans just have no love for the funk. I thought this would be close--or at least, kind of close. Willie's going to have to give you all a stern talking to. 1.
