	Story Behind the Song I had lots of grooves for this song, and the real trick to writing it was how to fit them all together...which was nothing compared to how to teach it to the musicians. I scored the horn parts and had the best horn players in town (the Grease Spot horns) come over to play on it. The drum part that Doug came up with is fabulous. Lyrics Motha Funky I want all the masses to move dey asses-- Something’s getting funky in here. I want the girls over there To hop up on the closest chair-- Shake it like you never have before, yeah… If you can dance, Now’s your chance-- Take this groove and rock it til you’re sore, yeah… CHORUS: It’s a Motha, Motha Funky (Oooh, it’s a funky motha) It’s a Motha, Motha Funky (Oooh, it’s a funky motha) It’s a Motha, Motha Funky (Oooh, it’s a funky motha) It’s not just funky, y’all…it’s a motha funky! Everybody in the place-- Come get you some bass!
