0:00 Now is simply

Alright folks, this is the fourth video in I think what should be known now as The DJ Tutor and Brian S. Red trying to find out where all these tunes have gone. What we're doing is we're finding original songs that people have sampled to death. Brian's done one, this is my third. So Brian, get your act together mate. What we're going to look at now is simply this. If you don't know the format, this is what you've got to do. I'm going to play this tune, you listen to it, you go through your record collection. If you can find a record that has sampled this record, then post it with a video response underneath this video. The tune we're going to look at right now is by one of my all-time classic bands, Funkadelic. Okay, there it is. The track is entitled One Nation Under A Groove and it is, it has got to be...

The fundamental, most beautifulest, gorgeous, P-Funk vibe, soul, funky, disco, everything, you name it song in the history of mankind. If someone's going to disagree with me, then please just don't bother commenting. Go and take up needlework. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Funkadelic on One Nation Under A Groove.

1:58 Don't forget, dig out your tunes

Alright folks, there it is. Have a listen. That's what it's about. Listen to it again if you need to. Practice and enjoy. Don't forget, dig out your tunes. If you can find a tune that's got the sample of this in it, play it. I don't care whether it's house, hip-hop, soul, R&B, techno or trance. Play it, video response, stick it underneath here because this is going to be an archive for DJs in the future. Thank you very much, take it easy.
