Funk/Soul Friday tune: Get The Funk Outta My Face

The Brothers Johnson know how to deliver heavy bass, soul licking songs.  For all their toiling in clubs, they finally reached success with “Get The Funk Outta My Face,”  the essential 1970’s tune with simple lyrics surrounded by complex bass notes, a few guitar plucks and funky drum beats.

When I first heard this song in my youth, I wanted so much to say “…get the funk outta my face!…” to someone.  This little phrase has been replaced by the crass GTFO, with not nearly enough funk to become a serious expression beyond a base internet acronym.  Life needs more bass and funk, perhaps.
