The other night, I went to a club and one of the songs played was the "Banana Boat Song (Day-O)." It was a little weird.

Well George Clinton actually did a kickass cover of that song, believe it or not. It's seriously funked up, as you might expect if you know anything about George Clinton, the mastermind behind the final metamorphosis of funk. Yeah I know, James Brown, blah blah blah--the guy didn't compare with the genius of George.
But I gave up playing the in the club years ago after a couple trial runs, it's just too reminiscent of the original, and the hip-hop R & B girls generally cannot handle Clinton anyway, which is a goddamned shame..
