music friday: parliament, "give up the funk (tear the roof off the sucker)"

A couple of days ago, my wife was on a Zoom call with some of her knitting friends. I was doing what I usually do these days, lying on the bed, listening to SiriusXM, and I only caught bits and pieces of the conversation. My wife says the topics often range far afield from knitting, and so it was this time. I don't know how it got started, but somehow the women were reminiscing about a song from their past. No one knew who the artist was, and it appeared all they remembered was a snippet of the chorus. I listened closely for a bit, made the proper connections, and told my wife it was Parliament. I must say, it was delightfully entertaining listening to their subsequent discussion.
