This week, I had been in California for two days, shallowly hoping to see a celebrity, when I received a call from my mother that she just went Christmas caroling with a member of Parliament-Funkadelic. Instead of asking her just how she managed to do this, I made the connection of P-Funk once again coming around in time to spread cheer for the New Year.

Do Fries Go With That Shake?
As the new year approaches, I am reminded of how I spent my last New Year's Eve: in a motel in Midlothian, Virginia on acid and salvia with a friend who had dropped out of college to pursue a career in construction. After staring at the carpet for awhile and remarking on how Bruce Willis looks like a video game character, we discovered something wonderful. In 1986, Parliament-Funkadelic's George Clinton continued his solo career with the gem "Do Fries Go with That Shake". Deciding to base the video off of the story of Snow White, replacing the evil step-mother with a fast food monger added to George Clinton's brilliance, as well as my friend and my entertainment as we watched in amazement.

Hmm...you don't hear much about George Clinton's solo career. WONDER WHY?! There is so much donk in this movie, which I won't hate on.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much flair. And god love the thought bubbles. I also love the effect of the mirror breaking.
ReplyDeleteI remember my friend made a copy of a George Clinton album and gave it to me. The only song I remembered was Atomic Dog. Its nice to switch things up once in a while when listening to music. I also love that fact that he showed up in the movie PCU.
ReplyDeleteI forgot...was he playing at a frat party in that movie or something? Many players make an appearance in that movie somehow, from Jeremy Piven to Steve Vai.
ReplyDeleteYea he played at the frat party at the end of the movie. Huge cast, especially the Ed remix.
ReplyDeleteI think it's even streamable maybe.
ReplyDeleteHahaha that sounds like a film I need to see
ReplyDeleteIt's quite bad, but if you watched it with us maybe we'd somehow make it enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteexactly what netflix streaming is all about and why I made a whole list of movies available with the title of the list as "drunk"
ReplyDeleteHaha, I did not know that was the title. But it all makes sense. Who doesn't like watching movies drunk? The answer is probably everyone else but us.
