What do you get when you mix equal parts extreme 70′s funk, laughable Satanic overtones and terrifying… amphibian clamor? This nasty little gem, of course. It was produced by none other than James Brown, the self-appointed Minister of New New Super Heavy Funk (great title or greatest title?), and published on his People record label. This single was released in March of 1974, and some suspect that it was done so with the intent of cashing in on the opening of the blockbuster film of the same name. Even if that was the case, it’s still funkier than a mosquito’s tweeter. Read on for the full list of players and a download link. This song is guaranteed to make your Halloween 2010 playlist a little bit creepier and a whole crapload funkier. Enjoy.
