GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD

I was just about to post that in a way, this song puts me in the mind of "Africa Talks to You (The Asphalt Jungle)"

But when I started listening to the song, I realized that it actually has more variety, more movement than "Sugar Daddy"

Still, it's in a similar zone... But D needs to work on filling up the sonic space. Sly has those chattering, overlapping and interlocking guitars and organ yelps. You gotta layer some stuff over the groove to achieve that kind of hypnotic effect.

Stuff like "Sugar Daddy" and "Chicken Grease"... they're just too "watery"... too wide a space between the parts, no tension holding it all together... you try to dance to it and you fall through all the gaps in the groove.
