Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Let's get the cue track, OK right, what?)
Ahh-ahhh, ahhh
Oh, you ain't seen obscene yet
We gonna be nasty this here time
Check it out, huh
Can you imagine this?
Put on some protection for your ears
Pussy serving land?

Like John Henry the steel drivin' man
Who with a hammer and spike in his hand
Said it's what's up front that cunt
Lifting weights with his tits (icka prick and iron pussy)
Doing push-ups with his clit (yucka fuck and muscle cunt)
Disgusting!
Icka prick and iron pussy
Yucka fuck and muscle cunt

There ain't no decent dick in Detroit
Ho, grossin out!
Icka prick and iron pussy (nasty can be)
Yucka fucka muscle cunt
If you think that's nasty
Follow me to the men's room
Watch me write on the wall (icka prick and iron pussy)
Graffilthy!
Suck my mind

Oh!
This is equal-opportunity nasty
Here, that helps?
Take it off, take it all off, hey!
Icka prick and iron pussy (pumpin' to please!)
Yucka fuck and muscle cunt (without humps there will be no gettin' over)
Icka prick and iron pussy
And still, there's no decent dick in Detroit
Icka prick and iron pussy (and that's a gross point of view)
Yucka fuck and muscle cunt (oh you don't?)
Icka prick and iron pussy

Oh, serving pussy from the shoulder
Oh, yeah, you'll get knocked up listening to this (ahhh-ahhh-ahhh)
You'd better put some protection on your ears
This is graffilthy! (ahhhh-ahhh-ahh!)
Can you imagine this?
Get that thing out of here, boy
Ahhh-ahh-ahhh
Icka prick
You're sick!
Who you gonna stick? (can you imagine this?)
That's a counterfeit dick
The shape of things to come
Can you dig it
Can you imagine this?

Icka prick and iron pussy
Yucka fuck and muscle cunt
I can't...

This ain't about penetration
It's about tenderness and concentration
Friction what gets you off
Oh, you ain't seen obscene yet
Oh!
Follow me to the men's room
Watch me write on the wall
I'll tell it all
Flush you before I go
Wash out my mouth with soap
And shit-talk some mo'!

Let's discuss disgusting
You ain't seen obscene yet
You haven't seen this before
While he's serving pussy from the shoulder
She's serving dick from the head (You haven't seen this before)
Let's discuss disgusting

We gonna be nasty this year (mmm hmmm)
Elmo MacNasty, mental masturbation
Psychological perversion (hey, hey)

Can you imagine this
Let's go do a quickie
Don't take your clothes off
Follow the ho-ho lines
Freakin' behind the naval blockade
Lookin' through your belly-button window
Let's discuss disgusting
Whooa-ooo
Her pussy is on the steel-wool rag
Penetration is a drag
It seems like there's no decent cunt in Detroit
Of course, I like to watch

Ahh
Hey!
Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh [Repeat x 3]
She lifts weights with her tits
He does pushups with his clit
Ahhhh
Can you imagine




I lift weights with my tits, owww
Can you imagine this?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Funkadelic's "Icka Prick" are filled with crude and obscene language, employing explicit sexual imagery to create a sense of shock and disgust. The chorus features the repetition of the phrase "icka prick and iron pussy" and "yucka fuck and muscle cunt," which are presumably intended to convey a sense of visceral revulsion. The song seems to be addressing the topic of sexual potency and prowess, with lines like "there ain't no decent dick in Detroit" implying a certain desperation or lack of satisfaction. The lyrics also make frequent use of wordplay and double entendres, such as "friction what gets you off," which turns an innocuous term into a sexual one.


At its core, "Icka Prick" appears to be a critique of conventional notions of masculinity and femininity, suggesting that ideas around gender and sexual identity are inherently limiting and repressive. The image of John Henry lifting weights with his tits provides a powerful metaphor for this idea, suggesting that traditional gender roles are just as absurd and arbitrary as a man using his breasts to pump iron. Overall, the song serves as a biting satire of societal expectations around sex and gender, skewering these norms with humor and irreverence.

@@DJGary0910 I heard people in the message column on Amazon many years ago say that song was about George teaching Prince a nasty lesson in response to "Dirty Mind" George doesn't mention Prince in reference to that in his book but he does say that around that time people were in so many words coming weak due to what he called "prudish" times. He felt like people were using "nasty" for shock value and controversy (sex sells) but were representing a little kid or just weak cultural approach to nastiness in general. The album artwork explains how that's used in /TV/advertisements perfectly ("Charlie's Dangles"🀣)
Besides that the song references what I believe is the gay cultural scene that was on the rise and to come later, also from both gender sides including the fanatical gym gay cultural scene specific to that. It's also about inadequate sex organs as a consequence, but that's just my opinion based on this...

"Iron pussy serving land, like John Henry (real legend/story) the steel driving man, who with a hammer and spike in his hand, says what's up.. FRONT THAT CUNT (gross) lifting weights with his tits, doing push-ups with his clit..Disgusting!..it seems like there's no decent dick in Detroit"

"Icka Prick and iron pussy...yucka fuck and muscle Cunt"

"Nasty can't be bored"

"ICKA PRICK... YOUR SICK! who you gonna stick... with your Counterfeit Dick"

"Let's "discuss" "DISGUSTING!"

"Oh she says it's not about penetration, but tenderness and concentration...friction is what gets you off"

"Iron pussy's on a steel wool rag, yucka fuck penetration is a drag..it seems like there's no desent Cunt in Detroit.. but of course I like to watch"

He even compares it to a "hump" which they explain on GLORYHALLASTOOPID to mean Sir Nose Devoid of Funk/satan as a unwanted pest that serves to improve us once we learn to get over the "hump" "a positive nuseance"

Their deep meaning lyrics always sounded like preaching in disguise or veiled parables to me. Takes work to be truly PFUNK worthy.
