'Loopzilla' a great pandemic mood enhancer by George Clinton
The wacky witty tune mixes lyrics from older popular songs with a funk beat that will appeal to your nostalgic side. It will also lift you out of the doldrums and get you moving. If COVID-19 is driving you up the wall, let the music drive you onto the floor.
Loopzilla is a 1982 single by funk master George Clinton from his first solo album Computer Games. The song reached number 19 0n American R&B charts. What makes this recording so interesting is the way Clinton merged lyrics of songs from Parliament/Funkadelic as well as other hits from the 1960s and forward. The coronavirus pandemic has left many people unable to do the things they did previously to get their minds off of their troubles. George Clinton has always seemed to have double entendres within his music and a method and message to his madness. This is why his songs can be inspiring, fun to dance to, political, and cathartic, all at the same time.
Loopzilla with lyrics penned by Clinton is fun and will take you down memory lane to hit singles of the past. There are four other singles mentioned in the lyrics that may bring back fond memories or give you new ones. Let's have some fun examining the words to Loopzilla and the other songs that are mentioned.

You know that I love you
Sir, things rearrange
And the world puts on a new face

We drive you on the floor
They drive you up the wall
Because they now are the only ones
They drive you up the wall
Don't touch that knob
We drive you on the floor
More bounce, to the once
Give it up .
More bounce, to the once
Come do it one more tome
More bounce, to the once
That's OK
More bounce, to the once
Like planet rock, We just don't stop we're gonna drive you nuts
Don't touch that radio
The song More Bounce to the Ounce was a hit single in 1980 by Roger Troutman and Zap. In between lyrics the listener is encouraged to git git git git git git on the dance floor. Dancing is a form of exercise and will certainly get your mind off of current situations. Don't let the pandemic hold you down, and consider what George Clinton states in Loopzilla. They drive you up the wall we drive you on the floor. At age 70. George Edward Clinton continues to minister through his music to people of all generations.
