Funkadelic - Friday Night, August 14th Lyrics

Today is the only day you can listen to this song.

Just kidding, every day is a good day for Funkadelic.

...4:29 ... 5:04!!...dulcet 🤘🏽💜🤘🏽

15 Years ago - Thursday night August the 14th (The 2003 Blackout).

Must be my bday again 2018

The song of August

When I was a young boy Chuck
Berry , Bo Diddley, Willie Mae Thornton
were pioneers of rock music.

Didn't that take place in WATTS riots decades ago.
August 14,1965?

Those major scale licks that eddie threw over this song with the e minor pentatonic just makes it ever so tasty

Raw rock/funk n roll

I checked and the year of this album's release, August 14th was indeed a Friday.

William Lavagna Wow! That's something else! 🤘

i watched a live feed of George on his bday 7-22-2017
he was chillin to FYM album. he was singing along. His wife asked who was playing. that was 2 cool GEORGE being GEORGE i only been digging FUNKADELIC since 1971 so i hollared not sung a few words myself

Mmm My Birthday :D

My income tax return came through.

I think this is their RAWEST album. I mean gritty, sandpaper, glass on sidewalk kick-assery !

Getting into funkadelic...your definition sir is top notch

Perfect analogy

Part of a masterpiece. Love it. Happy August 14!

yes they can, they were the most influential

i allways liked this funky

must be my bday again

Great album. i hear a lot of similarity with there first album and this one.

One of the BEST songs on one of the BEST albums!!!!

This is FUNKY WITH A ROCK TWIST!!!!,,Who is the 5 folks who dont know music?

The first heavy metal song i can think of, is Summertime Blues by Blue Cheer. And the first Shock rocker has to be without a question Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

Haven't smoked weed in a while cuz of D.O.T, but this shit makes me want to fire one up!!!!

Me too its my b day too Aug 14th!!

Yes I heard that Screaming Jay was the first.

very first*

Screamin' Jay Hawkins is often considered the first/one of the vert first 'Shock Rockers, and he'd been around since the 50s....

Thee truth!

Funkadelic & Black Sabbath cannot be compared. Two way different bands. Black Sabbath was around fairly early too, as they were called Earth. However, it makes no difference as both bands were smokin'

here before everyone ... happy bday to me

And on the 6th day God created Eddie Hazel

those are great thoughts. but as far as mainstream metal yes, i would agree. but if you find old records and sheet music and replicate them, you will find some interesting things. i looked up a long time ago, it wasnt on youtube because i would be subscribed to them, so around 2004. i found videos of this guy that would translate old music and play it on on a bunch of tracks and make sweet videos. but most of the music was jazz/blues influence. if they had our instruments, they wouldve wailed.

your right. one of there first major performances when showing up to the gig they where asked where there outfits/uniforms where....they looked puzzled, and the hosts told them to go grab stuff from the dressing room (the hosts probably thought they where going to grab a leisure suit or suede suit...nope, somebody wore a diaper.

i'm white as a snowflake :)
but nothing makes me more proud then a slap on my back from a black brother telling me "you dance well, man"

how to beat them?
start to play only life and manage yourself, you might get not rich, but neither them get one red cent of you.

10 thumbs up from me for you,
yes, screaming jay hawkins, if we ever look for roots...
blame record labels & publishers for this since the "columbia indestructable"

does that really matter?
i hate genres, they divide music, true musicians don't divide music.
read&listen leonard bernstein

''if it sounds good it is good'' Duke Ellington

and make a tune like "eulogy & light" and you get public enemy #1

"because of racism" - perhaps?
but i guess call your band -adelic and your out of business.

plus Jimi was in a white band, so he was "safe." Jimi wasn't really playing for a Black audience until Band of Gypsies, and that's not as recognized as "the Jimi Hendrix Experience" stuff

Hendrix really wasn't revered until he gained recognition in the UK. None of his early singles in the US cracked the Top 40. Once the Brits accepted him into the rock establishment, white kids in America did too.

It was racism that is why this group never got credit for their advancement in music.

Funkadelic's first album came out the same year as Black Sabbath's first two albums. I agree that Funkadelic's (and particularly Eddie Hazel's) contribution to hard rock is sorely under-recognized though. I don't know if it's racism or just de facto segregation, but a lot of people never heard Funkadelic when they were playing more characteristically "white" genres of music like hard rock.

@fabtri89 Thanks for that info on the shock rockers. That was interesting.

@lawplanet12 Yes Screaming Jay was the first. How can I forget him.

@blaakhawk as a P-Funk Member, let me be the first to say that Screamin Jay Hawkins is the first shock rocker before EVERYBODY...EVERYTHING ELSE YOU SPOKE OF IS 200% TRUE !! around this time, Rock was more affiliated with White though us blacks created it...blame the record labels for creating dumb things like "black music" divisions which it became more about color than music & us black folks played a part when we hung on TOO LONG to Motown, Stax & other commercial R&B Movements

I think the guys in the studios did a great job too! Bringing the great sound to a more psychedelic way.

@RubenFrankinPusslemo AD SUN RA TO THIS LIST EVEN PRIOR...LOL

@blaakhawk GOOD POINT...THEN AGAIN ALL ROCK MUSIC IS AFRICAN -SOUL-BLUES -GOSPEL-AT ITS BASE-THIS CAN NEVER BE DISPUTED..AND YOU ARE RIGHT RACISM PLAYED A BIG PART TO ROCK..HELL WHITE FOLK BOO'D PRINCE WHEN HE TOURED..NOW THEY LOVE HIM..WHAT DUMB RACIST FUCKS BACK THEN--AND MANY TIMES NOW ...remember to funk and kiss were on the same label at one time---so live shows were alot parallel -then again alot of hard rockers naturally claim Detroit as 'that town' for rock' WE' KNOW WHY!!

The bass blows my mind every time.

i like how on this album the songs begin understandable and after couple of minutes it goes somewhere way beyond normal

check this out iam from cleveland the same year this album came out i got my first income tax check i always play 047

Slavery REALLY ended in the U.S. of A. when George and the cats got audience !
Martin and Malcolm were only in there to prepare the coming !

my income tax return came through/ i played 047 and hit for 2....

Happy birthday to me !! :)

@emile235 I'd say that Blue Cheer's version of "Summertime Blues" came out before all of the aforementioned groups. And if that song ain't primordial heavy metal, I don't know what is.

I'd say Link Wray's'' Rumble '' would be the first heavy metal tune

@PaulThe123 I'd say the first heavy metal songs would be first iron Maiden or Judas Priest albums

my bday

@Soulman785 Thanks for acknowledging my historic information on music. Read the book called Funk by Rickey Vincent.

@questioningsilence Funkadelic was out longer before Black Sabbath. Funkadelic and Jimi Hendrix were the first artist to bring out that sound in rock. A more hard and louder sounding music. They were the first to dress flamboyant and have long hair. because of racism these artist will never get the credit they deserve in the main stream music media. Funkadelic was also the first group to put on costumes and make up on stage long before Alice Cooper and KISS. They were the first shock rockers.

screaming jay was before them as to costumed

@blaakhawk well, black sabbath's first record came out 5 months earlier, but its close

@blaakhawk actually this is psychedelic rock. but we can call it "funk metal" too ;)

This was the first Heavy Metal song.

This was the first album I ever heard that made me realize what Africans Americans lost when they turned their backs on guitar driven rock

@Soulman785 I totally agree! So under appreciated! And I like them better than the Parliament side as well!

so kick ass. anyone that dislikes this song needs to shoot themself in the mouth. what is soul? a ring around your bathtub

eddie and billy giving us a funking lesson pure rock love how tiki beats the drums oh yeah the girls singing are dawn you know tony orlando's backup singers they had a serious wild side.

The first time i heard this song it just scared the shit out of me. I love this song & album ever since.

RIP Eddie Hazel, the lead guitarist

@bigsherm7 me either, when this album was finally released it just took me under, it took me a while to get through the whole album

The day i was born. But i was born on Friday at 10 past 12 PM.
This song can still represent my first night in existence...

It's Friday night August 13th. Almost there

Check out "Orianthi Panagari" . . . this is the young lady who was Michael Jackson's guitarist on "This is It." . . . check out her videos on YouTube . . . I don't lightly compare to Hendrix but she's there . . . and so young . . .

My first exposure to Funkadelic and lead guitarist Eddie Hazel . . . I haven't been the same since

The first Funkadelic song that I ever heard !!! . . .

tony orlando's girls dawn sing backup on here.

Great song, yes!!!
