but that's not really a "disco" record (if you're stringent) but it is one of those joints that I think you'd have to be well versed in P-Funk to know since it was on the last Parliament album (which IMO ain't one of their best, certainly ain't seeing the one right before it). it bangs, but not like "Knee Deep" and "One Nation Under A Groove" did for Funkadelic, or any of the Parliament hits in the '70s.

but "Humpty Dance" is definitely one of the most "recite every verse" tracks in the genre, not to mention its beat was probably sampled more than any rap song to date. in the early '90s there was like a cult surrounding that beat (esp. in R&B)
