Funkadelic Songs - One Nation Under A Groove Lyrics
One Nation Under A Groove Lyrics By Funkadelic Songs Album: One Nation Under A Groove Year: 1978 Lyrics: Not Found Available: One Nation Under A Groove Youtube Music Video
This was inspired by an event at the United Nations. Early one morning, bandleader George Clinton was outside the UN headquarters as he and two girlfriends were shooting film for a Parliament/Funkadelic movie that was never finished. P-Funk's signature prop, the Mothership, was landing as a UN staffer started to raise the flags of the member nations. One of Clinton's friends described it as "one nation under a groove." (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)
George Clinton had the title in mind 2 years before the band recorded the song. He didn't have any lyrics - he came up with those in the studio.
This was used in the 1991 movie Young Soul Rebels. The film takes place during The Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977, over a year before this was recorded. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)
