Story Behind The Song
Funk is eternal, almost 50 years later we're still playing Earth Wind & Fire, Funkadelic, Parliament, Con Funk Shun, Bar Kays, Lakeside, Dazz Band, Ohio Player, Slave, Brothers Johnson, all the music that made us ( or our parents get up off their asses and jam) dance. Funk isn't going away. A few still funk, thanks to Bruno Mars who helped revive the funk, but it wasn't dead or in a coma...
Song Description
They just don't make good funk music anymore. George Clinton is still funking with us, Con-Funk-Shun, Earth Wind & Fire, Bar Kays, all the great funk bands are still funking on. But no one is making funk like they used to- Funk will never fade, Funk will never go away- Funk never lies, NO the FUNK just wont die.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm funkin', funkin', bass is thumping, funkin' in my sleep,
Groovin' to that funky music, rockin' with the beat.
Old school vibes, we danced to that groove,
Listening to George Clinton, and Con Funk Shun when he moves.
Feel that rhythm, it's pushing me along,
Every note's a fire, burning deep and strong.
Got that twang in my step, can't resist the call,
In this funky universe, I'm ready to ball.
[Chorus]
Don't you know it, funk will never fade,
Somewhere, someway, funk will always play.
If you think that funk is gonna go away,
Get the funk up out of my face.
[Verse 2]
You trippin' if you believe this music's better than before,
Here's a challenge, play YOUR music,
Get your ass on the floor.
Funk's got a special rhythm,
Stomp your feet and clap your hands,
It motivates you, it's a jammin' brand.
Feel that energy, it's fateful and raw,
When that bassline drops, you know you want more.
Hand it to those great funk bands, I'll count off a few,
Earth, Wind & Fire, Sly took me higher,
Bar Kays made me groove, putting life in view.
[Chorus]
Don't you know it, funk will never fade,
Somewhere, someway, funk will always play.
If you think that funk is gonna go away,
Get the funk up out of my face.
[Break]
Funk it like never before,
Like a freakshow on the floor,
Watching that Brick House dance, I need it so,
This funky vibe, it hits my soul.
[Verse 3]
Let's turn it up louder, don't stop the beat,
Every funk-filled moment makes you move your feet.
Grab the crew, let's set the night ablaze,
In this funk-adelic fever, we'll dance in a haze.
Under the starlight, we come alive,
Dancing through the night, that's how we thrive.
Rhythms entwined, in colors and sound,
With the funk in my veins, I feel so profound.
[Chorus]
Don't you know it, funk will never fade,
Somewhere, someway, funk will always play.
If you think that funk is gonna go away,
Get the funk up out of my face.
[Outro]
Funk in our hearts, it's a lifetime affair,
Feel that music, it's everywhere,
I'm funkin', funkin', bass is thumping, feel the heat,
In this world of funk, we'll dance through the street.
