Good to Your Earhole, from Funkadelic’s 1975 album, Let’s Take It to the Stage is a song sure to move you to a happy place. With a mixture of early rock and funk, the “put your hands together…” lyric along with a slice of Bernie Worrell’s keyboard brings a sliver of gospel to the pot as well. Emotionally, this cut can make you long for hot sticky summers, lounging on the beach with your favorite ice cold beer. When you place your ear to the music, it carries an appreciated distorted guitar played by Eddie Hazel and a fun funk sound of the vocals driven by the bass guitar. Overall, Good to Your Earhole playfully displays the relationship of rock and funk that we presently see in Lenny Kravitz , Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers and even rock group, Queen through the single, Another One Bites the Dust.
