GLORY BE...:
"It's like when I say, 'Glory be, da funk's on me,' a lot of people don't know what the heck I'm talking about." Mr. [Bootsy] Collins was happy for the opportunity to translate. What it means, he said, is, well: "Glory . . . be . . . da funk's . . . on . . . me. It kind of says exactly what I'm feeling."

and there's more:
"The good thing about funk," he said, "is that it always shows up. If it's a party, a real party, it always shows up. Next year you might not hear about it, but you can never get rid of that mug. It's like the bugs that won't die. You spray Raid on the mugs, but the mug always survives. The funk will always survive."
