Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die" - Play That Funky Music White Boy by Wild Cherry(1976)

2. "I hear a beat I grab the mic, and then I start this workin'
The kids around the way used to think that I was buggin
But they don't understand how I feel about the funk
I walk with the funk, I talk with the funk
I eat with the funk, I sleep with the funk
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
So now what do they say, when I'm walkin' up the block?
Boom shaka laka there goes the Chief Rocka" - Chief Rocka by Lords of the Underground(1993)

funk

Used to be a bad word. Irre-ducible essential pulse, life force, hyperventilatin' Groove. Not only moves, it can re-move; will sit and sit and never go sour.

funk

funk is a state of mind

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, cause y'all have knocked her up. I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe...I was not offended, for I knew I had to rise above it all, or drown in my own shit.

-Funkiest sentence ever (heard on "Maggot Brain" by Funkadelic)
