The Mighty Boosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've got that underwater funk

Forget the P-Funk

We got the funk

We got the sea funk
The Mighty Boosh's song Sea Funk is a fun and quirky nod to the funk genre. The opening line, "We got the funk," is a direct reference to the classic funk song by Parliament, "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)." However, the Boosh quickly shifts gears from the world of funk to the sea, declaring they've got "underwater funk" and "sea funk." The use of the term "underwater" gives the impression that the Boosh are exploring a new and uncharted territory, adding to the overall sense of excitement and adventure in the song.
As the song progresses, the Boosh continue to assert their dominance over the world of funk, boldly proclaiming "Forget the P-Funk, we got the sea funk." This line further reinforces the Boosh's unique brand of funk, setting them apart from other artists and making them the undisputed kings of the sea funk genre. Overall, the lyrics to Sea Funk highlight the Boosh's playful and irreverent approach to music, blending multiple genres and creating something truly original and entertaining.

What is missing for that are the B and C parts, so to speak. Now there is no variation, since it is only made for a short clip. So there has to be some kind of progression, solos, additions. But it can be done.
