I’d Rather Be With You
Bootsy Collins
Stretchin’ Out In Bootsy’s Rubber Band, 1976
bootsy collins was responsible for most of Parliament’s crazy-wack-funky basslines of the mid-70’s including “Flash Light.” this song is from his first solo album. it’s so PG-13. it starts out “above board” but the lyrics in the fade-out are not for the faint of heart.
it was inspiration for Adina Howard’s “A Freak Like Me” and also for NWA’s “I’d Rather F–k With You” and potentially behind the brilliant but cringe-inducing phife-dawg line “bust a nut inside your eye to show you were i come from” although that’s just conjecture on my part.
me, i just like it for the oboe (that’s an oboe, right?). nothing let’s a woman know you mean business like an oboe!
