Parliament - Bop Gun (Endangered Species) Lyrics

At the time I was truly convinced this band was of another planetary sector as they were waaayyyyy out there......in a very funky way🤔✨

That's cause they are intergalactic beings that ride on waves of FUNK from one galaxy to the next!

Still straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 in 2020!!!!!!!!!!!

The voice of 1 Glen Goins, gone to soon !

Has any band anywhere come close to the funk , I don't think so and nobody ever will , funk beyond compare

Nope, but I'll give an A for effort to anybody that can get a crowd movin' when they try!

THE SHOWCASE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY TALENT OF THE LATE GLENN GOINS

1977 Madison Square Garden, I was 17 and I was there. There will never be another Parliament! Funk so powerful I have tears in my eyes from the days long gone.

Yeah man! Those shows were awesome! The best band in the land. I saw them in DC in 1976 at the U of MD cole field house and went to every show afterwards. I would get punished for going to their show without permission but it was well worth it! I can tell the story of the funk mob. My daughters 19 and 25 never saw them but they are on their playlist today. That makes me a proud dad!

Sounds like you got direct connection to the Mothership!

@Real Name Yeah pretty much!

Funk lives

Bound to get down, Haha Call on the Funk.

My mother played this song for my step dad because his named was BeBop, during the summer 1978 they were so in love; miss you guys RIP.

Glenn bad man best of the best!

The screen credit for LP should read Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome

That back cover looks cartoonish..


Especially George with the Afro Puffs.

I was a teen when this came out, in fact, I bought the album. They were definitly ahead of their time. Perfect for scag. Brilliant

I remember buying this album in 1977 when I was 17, I wore the grooves, I can still hear my Father saying TURN THAT NOISE DOWN. RIP Dad.

I was a young teen when this came out. Wow. I'ts still funky.

BOP GUN !!!!

Sir Nose poster always has a place in my home. 😉

Tha funkiest group ever organized,listen to tha beat an all those symbols

George Clinton is a Phenomenal Artist .... he had a discern recognition for exceptional Musicians & Singers , the Lyrics In his Signature hits were far reaching Then and carries so much Weight in Meaning today ...... he Spoke to our unique experiences as African Americans Living in the Bowels of this Country..... incomparable!!!!!!!!

I am Sir Nose and I will never dance

Disco lady...Johnny Taylor...

Where you get THAT funk from?

OMG this music is even better now!

Played the grooves off this in 1977, life was so much simpler. Saw them at Madison Square Garden and if my life ended that night I would have died happy. The music is complete garbage today.

I got introduced to Parliament by me being in The Army at Fort Sill OK. in 1978-1980

Gotta get overy the hump day!

Baby I phone

Those DRUMS!!!

DRUMMER KEEPING IT TOGETHER....SEAMLESSLY...LISTEN...TO ALL DRUMMERS....

I love the choir! "On guard! Defend yourself!"

Funky oidskool,

The GENIUS of George Clinton

Classic FUNK

Funk + messages= PERFECTION

Damn, you got a poster and a comic with this album.

251 souls couldn’t get over the hump!!!!

I used to spend hours as a teen in ‘97 studying this album and the album cover... Str8 ignat heat all over this album...

I can't help but move my head a lil!!

247 people need a personality transplant.

Fuck Jim Crow!!!!!!

Funk is the best

The space bass is popping hard af

Even tho they had split the funk was never stronger at this point... I wonder what if they stayed together

How do we get over the hump and save the ENDANGERED SPECIES when were constantly going to war and hating anyone that's not like us , here for a good. [email protected]#% ,you feel me AND THE CATCH- 22 ENTITY REMAINS IN OPERATION PAST PRESENT AND YET TO BE FUTURE EVENTS TO COME .............

Best funk n hump day song Eva!!

Unguard and defend yoself....🤔

When I was younger my dad said I wouldn't be able to understand the complex nature of this song (because of how it repeats in the chorus - which is what funk is) and now I can't stop listening to it.

1978 Doctor Funkenstein standing orders to Star Child: Whenever you depart from The Mothership you go armed with your Bop Gun and Flashlight and watch out for Sir Nose D'void of Funk.

Who don't need they bop gun?

This had got to be one of the best funk songs EVER!!! BTW. We all know the Thumbs downs are from Trump supporter types, you listening Nick bosa?

i have a new disease... a funk syndrome...

fucking Jam 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

214 people got shot with a bop gun at some point in time

Who remembers the animated tv Ad for this LP, featuring star child? lol Rick James had a tv ad for Busting out, too.

I got to get over the hump.

They were one of the best that ever did it , real funk hand down

I mean like the music, the concept was like, Yes! Tha bomb.

Turned my ass out!

This album was just one the most exciting albums ever. This is when I became a p funk head for real.

I feel like all 210 downvotes on this song are Donald Trump signing up for new youtube accounts so he can downvote it again. Nobody with heart doesn't like this.

Andrew Malone that's y WE MUST VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!!!!💯💯💯

Dem Horny Horns all day baby bobba...lol..

Glen Goins was a great soul singer

Without humps there would be no gettin over.

Funny I just so happen to popped in on YouTube listing, that's what sent me over to Soulbrothanumbahone YouTube. Thank You!

Slow the funk down in the video setting to.75

Funk music comments are the best, everyone in the apex of their day really feeling the music. I'm going to assume many of you are high as fuck ;p

Man I’ve heard this song so many times, coming back to listen to it again.... GODDAMN!! Everything is so tight and on point. The thumping power of the rhythm section laying back the groove for some of the finest funk horn lines, slick guitar, and out of this world key work. WOW is all I can say ladies and gentlemen.

Alex X it's a lil deeper than that!!! listen to what he's saying!!!

like me

This is more different than Ice Cube's version I see he took out a lot of this and added a lot to his.

Ice Cube's version is a remake of One Nation Under A Groove, has tiny to do with this Bop Gun

Listening in 2019? We are not an endangered species😎

LOVE IT

Getting over the hump day

Make my funk the p funk

DEFEND YOURSELF

Turn me loose we shall overcome where did you get your FUNK from ???????? RIP Glen!!!!!!!

Slow down the video to 0.75×....then zone out ...

En garde! It's French for put up your dukes!!!

They were so delicious!!

they still are. new album is out :o)

@zgniniarT holy crap!! I need to check this out!! 😮 Thanks!!

@Linxy Wun opinion?^^

@zgniniarT I am into minds I think lol I think it's mostly because it's not how they used to be in some songs, I absolutely love I'm gunna make you sick of me, I think it's an album that will grow on me though, I wouldn't want to lose the love I have for them 😊😊 what about yourself?

KING OF THE 70S






WAS ZEPPELIN AND THE STONES

and yet you're HERE, posting comments-a most severe case of acute placebo syndrome.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Jerome ATTACKS them drums

God Bless Chocolate City and it's vanilla suburbs.

...and it came to pass, that upon his return, Dr. Funkenstein did find the planet to have completely lost the beat of the Funkentelechy, and had fallen prey to the Placebo Syndrome, spread throughout the galaxy by the infamous Sir Nose D'voidoffunk. Driven by the genius of desperation, Funkenstein sends StarChild to do battle, armed with his greatest invention of all time...THE BOP GUN.

This music is not of this Planet. It is clearly extraterrestrial.

ALL REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE SHOT WITH THE BOPGUN.ℹℹℹℹℹ

Glen Goines was truly the man with much talent!! All of them was musically inclined!! George Clinton was a master mind of music. I was shocked to find out that the Dramatics was the Manager for the Dramatics for a short time. He was the one to tell Ron Banks to sing more baritone and less horns.

Turn me lose, we shall overcome, endangered species (black man) defend yourself, got to get over the hump.

Gotta get over the hump!!

Dude was 24 when he passed. What a voice for a young man. Unbelievable how great these people was

Glenn Goins was a great vocalist.

god i love this song
