Why it is here
- This was the first No. 1 R&B hit on the Billboard chart by any P-Funk group, and Parliament's second certified million-selling single. source
- Its bassline was created by Bernie Worrell using at least three connected Minimoog synthesizers after Bootsy Collins rejected the part originally written for him. source
- Rolling Stone ranked it No. 202 on its 2011 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and No. 25 on its 2022 list of the 200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time. source
