the phrase "funky dixieland" remains one of the most repulsive musical collocations i can think of
especially when the song is neither funky nor dixieland
thx thread for evoking a hideous earworm, must seek treatment immediately

To have smoked grass in 1976, start going, "hey, this song has a nice little groove going," and then get hit with that extended acappella funky dixieland breakdown from out of nowhere must've been alarming.

How did the Oak Ridge Boys never cover this. They've done Seven Nation Army, for godssakes.

I'm pretty anal about musical categorizing and therefore don't believe that dixieland can even BE properly funky
the term "funky" was used by New Orleans jazz + R&B musicians long before the days of James Brown, and the most definitive funk elements (heavy backbeat + bass, syncopation/Latin rhythms) can be traced back to the early 20th century music of New Orleans

The song is characterized by the melodious a cappella section, with lyrics that are perhaps the most well known in the entire song: "I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland/Pretty mama, come and take me by the hand." These lines are also featured in the Train song, "I Got You" (from Save Me San Francisco) on which Simmons received a co-writing credit.
true horror

I realize that, but to my ears the post-JB definition of (capital-f) FUNK basically overwhelmed all that came before

"Black Water" is cool, don't need to hear it every day but solid groove, kind of my go-to pick for before-and-after Doobies as microcosm for early vs. late CR. Y'all kinda sold me on "Woah, We're The Doobies Now" instead, but "Black Water"... just fine. Maybe the acapella thing goes on a few too many rounds and becomes showoffy rather than a delightful change-up in the mix.

Just got back from a long-ass driving trip, listened to cr throughout the east/midwest. Heard "Behind Blue Eyes" seven times. Not complaining, but jeez, I'm pretty sure they recorded a few other songs.
Also, that acapella bit in "Black Water" is the worst and least defensible occurrence of music in all of human history.

so....i don't know WHY anybody would go into the Spotify playlist of the top 500 songs and deleted over 300 songs, but they did. thankfully, I had the full playlist backed up elsewhere and have restored it, and the playlist is no longer collaborative since apparently I can't trust people to not fuck with it.
