Loose Booty

Artist: Funkadelic

Title of album: America Eats Its Young

Year of first release: 1972

This is widely considered one of the better songs off what is an otherwise relatively weak album. It was a remake of a Parliament song.

Songwriter(s):

Memorable Lyrics:

• "Eeny meeny miney moe/Catch a junkie by the toe/If he holler let him go"
• "Little Jack Horner/Sittin' in a corner/Snortin' his New York dope/Pulled back a snort/Went into a nod/Wow, was he a dope"
  • Jack Horner is also Burt Reynold[?]'s character in the film Boogie Nights[?] (presumably unrelated)

This song is a obscene nursery rhyme. This would eventually become a whole group of P funk songs, all with the same nursery rhyme-quality, yet obscene and perverse lyrics.

Personnel:

• Vocals: George Clinton
• Guitar: Harold Beane[?]
• Bass guitar: Bootsy Collins
• Keyboard: Bernie Worrell
