Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry

...eventually The Red Hot Chili Peppers evolved and covered Love Rollercoaster

a.k.a. Roller Coaster of Love.

A-hey, do it now, huh
Yeah, hey

[Verse 1]
Hey-ah, once I was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burning down the one-night stands
Then everything around me, yeah
It got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly, yes, I did, heh
To disco down and check out the show

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, they were dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus]
"Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die", heh heh
'Til you die, yeah (What?)
Hear, hear, heh
[Verse 2]
A-heh, I tried to understand this (Yeah)
Heh, I thought that they were out of their minds
Heh, how could I be so foolish, how could I
To not see I was the one behind?
So still I kept on fighting
Well, losing every step of the way (Hey, what'd you do?)
I said, "I must go back there", I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, they were dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus]
"Play that funky music, white boy (Yeah)
Play that funky music right, oh
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die", heh
'Til you die (Yeah)
Whoa, 'til you die
Gonna play some electrified funky music, yow!

[Guitar Solo]
Ah ha ha
[Verse 3]
Hey, wait a minute, now first it wasn't easy
Changing rock and roll and minds
Yeah, things were getting shaky
(Yeah) I thought I'd have to leave it behind, uh
Ooh, but now it's so much better, it's so much better
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling, no, I won't
Of how I learned my lesson that day

[Pre-Chorus]
When they were dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus]
"Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die", heh heh
'Til you die (Yeah)
Oh, 'til you die, yeah
Come on, let's go!

[Outro]
(They shouted, "Play that funky music") Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) You gotta keep on playing funky music
(Play that funky music) Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Come on and take you higher
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, honky
Play that funky music right

Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring by Johann Sebastian Bach.  

Any Road - George Harrison

Gimme plenty of that guitar…   (Oh yeah!)

Love the video on this one, as well. 

The Curragh - EKO

...Starts out a little slow then builds to a soaring Guitar piece like Joe Satriani's  Always With Me Always With You.

Down On The Corner - CCR

Willie and the Poor Boys are playin’

Bring a nickel, tap your feet… 

Electric Worm - Beasty Boys

This one is a little odd...It's a Beasty Boys Instrumental, but, IMHO, it just has a 'Happy to be takin care of business' sound to it.

Bang the drum all day, Todd Rundgren

"Radio Ga Ga"  📻  Queen {84}

Metropolis

This song is special to me cuz as a kid working on the farm. All I had was my transister radio keeping me company all day.
