“(Not Just) Knee Deep” is a funk song featured on side one of Funkadelic’s 1979 album “Uncle Jam Wants You”. An edited version of the song, appearing as Side A on the single release, reached number one on the Billboard Black Singles chart. The song was written by George Clinton and Walter ‘Junie’ Morrison but the songwriting credit is listed as George Clinton, Jr. on the album pressing as a gift to Clinton’s son. The songwriting credit on the single, however, is listed as George Clinton. The song is about a girl who’s ‘freak of the week’ and dances ‘never missing a beat’. It is widely seen as a funk classic, peaking at number seventy-seven on the Hot 100 and topping the US R&B charts in 1979 in heavily edited form. The lyrics deal with a man meeting a woman, presumably at a party, where she dances for him. He is unimpressed by the Jerk, the Monkey, the Moose and the Chicken, but is blown away by the Freak. The song is considered a classic and has been heavily sampled by many artists such as De La Soul, LL Cool J, Tone Loc, MC Hammer, Snoop Dogg, Black Eyed Peas, Bobby Brown, EPMD, Digital Underground, and 2Pac. “Uncle Jam Wants You” was the eleventh studio album by American funk band Funkadelic. It was originally released by Warner Brothers Records in 1979, and was later reissued by Priority Records in 1993. It was produced by George Clinton under the alias Dr. Funkenstein. It is the first Funkadelic album since “America Eats Its Young” in 1972 not to sport a Monkey3 – One Of These Days [ Pink Floyd Cover]” href=”http://www.undercoverart.info/monkey3-one-of-these-days-pink-floyd-cover/”>cover …
