| definitely, listen to freaky styley if you're used to bssm and ohm and californication....cause thats like a middle ground between the new stuff and the energetic older stuff....it has the punkish songs and also the horn-tinged smoother stuff that george clinton helped bring to the sound as producer | |

| some people think this song isnt good but i think it is. i may be a "new" fan, but im not just into their newer music, i think its all genius, and i really love their older, funkier music as well as calif. an bssm. get on top is, to me, a cool way to touch back on their roots and be fun. | |

| I agree with govconspiracy pretty much - the song is about getting on top in life, making the most money, being the most talented, most skillful, whatever, and disregarding what is in the way. If other people challenge, you have the answer, and you don't care. | |

| agreed shadowcml. I mean, I don't want to pick a fight with anyone I'm just saying, if you're a "new fan" thats great, just really listen to them. I think a good test to see if you REALLY like a band is to put their CD in and just listen to it....completely. Don't skip around to songs that are played on the radio or anything. Then see how you liked ALL the songs and if you could even listen to it all the way through. It's what I did to see if I really liked them. Found out i'm pretty much a die hard fan. I love these guys! I haven't heard much of their really old stuff (uplift mofo party) but I think I should. Thanks shadowcml! Love y'all! ~*~Tessa~*~ | |

| I think ApacheRose is right about the song's background...either way, it's the funkiest on the album, and it's the song that got me into them...it's very "Shaft", especially with the bassline and the "Right on!" in the chorus :oP | |
