I always thought it'd be interesting to masquerade as Frederick Nicole, just to see what it would feel like to hang on to nothing.

20 years ago I knew a guy who rated everything with his "funk scale."
"That rates a 2 on the funk meter." He would say.
He was always giving cool stuff a really low rating. I thought he was kinda backwards in his thinking until I found out that his "funk" refered to the odor, not the funkiness.

Sir Nose, devoid of funk, meets Starchild "Ain't nuttin but a party!!" Then we come to the crossroad. Will it be Funk-intelechy, or the Placebo Syndrome?

Yeah, that's Funky (Funky)
Yeah, that's Funky (Funky)
Yeah, that's Funky (Funky)
If it smells like Funk it must be us
The Funk funk full foul stinky it's stanky stuff
(repeat)
If it smells like Funk it must be us
Cause nobody's Funky as us, Cause we keep it Stinky (Stinky)
We keep it Stinky, (Stinky)
(repeat)
Stinky, Stinky, Stinky,
The Funk phenomenon, we Funk you on n' on
There's no need to hold your nose,
Cause this funk stink like a rose
Big booty Funk, Toe jam Funk,
Underarm Funk, like you headlocking a Skunk'
Reekin' like diseased athlete's feet,
The stench didn't come till after this beat
Smellin' like droors no weezin no pause
Put your hand up on the speakers get smelly ass paws
You know we was coming before we entered the door
Cause you could smell the rhyme when we was walking down the hall
We bring the Funk worse then a wet dog
Stinkin' like fat ladies poopin'out Logs
We drop enough poo to keep them toilets clogged
Keep the people jumpin' like them Bullfrogs
The first one who smelt it ain't the one who delt it
Black Eyed Peas keep the scent blind like delta
Funky like onions you fryin'(Sure is Funky) girl you ain't lyin'
(CHORUS)
Yo' you Funkin' with the Funk family
The non fabricated factual faculty'
We formulatin' up in a factory
Focusin' on the energid' of fluid flow free'
We flawless, everything is for free
We florish and we flaunt our flavour freshly, huh'
Can you believe we flip them frequency's and
Freak MCs they leave all frantically but'
Our intentions are to be friendly but
They fightin' when we start the freestylin' frenzy
I funk up ya' flat till your girlfriend beef
Fillin all anatomy, bringin' me flatery, huh'
She'll be diggin these rhymes that ease beats
Like celulite lyrics all flabby
We bring the funk to your festivities
If you think something stank then it must be the peas!
If it smells like Funk it must be us
The Funk funk full foul stinky it's stanky stuff
(repeat)
If it smells like Funk it must be us
Cause nobody's Funky as us, cause we keep it Stinky
(Funky, Funky, Funky, Funky)
Celulite overweight stankin' MCs
Stench smells so strong it's insanitary
Cause you can sense me a mile away so Jinky
With the jungle Funk sound from Serengeti
Meaty, Fat, Nasty like miss Fat booty's tights
Gettin' dirty like mudfights and dirtbikes
Turning these droors black they used to be white
And we shittin' on these tracks that you gonna' need to wipe
The odor's so contagious that it shows up in your dream,
Man, you could pick me out like food in between
Your two front teeth cause you be lackin' the streets
We got beefy ass beats that we bumpin' in the streets
We so nice n' sweet like steak box n' feet
Sour underarm Funk you ain't washed in a week
And, man, we be reekin' every day or weekend
We could all bounce to the Funk and the season
Bounce, bounce, bounce...Whoo!
haha haha
Yeah that's Funky', Yeah that's Funky'
If you smellin' somethin funky
then you know it got to be nobody other than Apl, Will n' Taboo
Cause if you know that if it smells like Funk then it must be us
If you smellin' Fat Funk then it must be us
If you smellin' something Funky
then you know it got to be nobody other than Apl, Will n' Taboo
Cause you know that if it smells like Funk than it must be us
If you smellin' elephants than it must be us
If you smellin' somethin Funky
then you know it got to be nobody other than Apl, Will n' Taboo
Cause you know that if it smells like Funk then it must be us
If you smellin' elephant poo it must be us

check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk
not a bad description
Funk is an American musical style that originated in the mid- to late-1960s when African American performers blended soul music, soul jazz and R&B into a rhythmic, danceable new form of music. Funk de-emphasizes melody and harmony, and brings a strong rhythmic groove of electric bass and drums to the foreground. Unlike R&B and soul songs, which had many chord changes, funk songs are often based on an extended vamp on a single chord.
Like much of African music, funk typically consists of a complex groove with rhythm instruments such as electric guitar, electric bass, Hammond organ, and drums playing interlocking rhythms. Funk bands also usually have a horn section of several saxophones, trumpets, and in some cases, a trombone, which plays rhythmic "shots".
Influential African American funk performers include James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone, George Clinton, and The Meters. Notable 1970s funk bands included Parliament-Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, The Commodores, and Kool & the Gang. Funk music was a major influence on the development of 1970s disco music and funk samples are used in most styles of hip hop music, and it's also the main influence of Go-Go.

hey there mister E... oooops, sorry, there.... climbing-dance ought to do it... but i was more worried, as to doing a cha-cha, rumba, or tango, up the rock-face, instead of minding the climb...
way, to go then, .... as i truly understand, a good climb, is music to the ears... one simply MUST dance to that... :)
more than reckoned, i reckon ..... :)
