One Nation Under A Groove Lyrics


One Nation Under A Groove
  • 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)
