(This is Starchild)
Three blind mice (let me put on my sunglasses)
See how they run (so I can see what they ain't lookin' at)
They all ran after the farmer's wife
Turned on the fun with the water pipe
Have you ever seen such a sight in your life? (ho!)
Those three blind mice (yeah)
Those blind three mice

Ho! I love those meeces to pieces!
Oh, speaking of the Zone of Zero Funkativity
Better known as the Nose Zone
Has anybody seen ol' Smell-o-vision?
Where is Sir Nose'd?
If y'all see Sir Nose
Tell him Starchild said:
"Ho! Put that snoot to use you mother!
'Cause you will dance, sucker"

  1. C.... M....

    Have you ever seen such a sight in your life 😁😁

  2. W.... B....

    I have seen them in concert 2wice in my life....when i was very young .them were rolling all over the floor.but never missed a beat..an again with the hit auquiboogy. Jam ...they turned the place out....love there music....

  3. R.... W....

    At 1:52 the cartoon says, " Sir Nose could wipe the funk off of Starchilds face with a blast from his snooze gun at the drop of a "J". Brilliant. The letter "J" is the last letter invented, yet they use it for the name of "God" Jehovah and the saviour Jesus. How can what was 1st, be named with what is last? It can't. It's impossible. It's also the name of the very first Slave ship the jesus of lubeck. Acts 26:14 says he spoke in a Hebrew tongue and there is NO letter "J" in Hebrew. YAHWEH is the name of Father, Exodus 3:15 and the Son comes in the Father's name YAHshua (John 5:43), so it has to have a YAH in it. Just like the word HalleluYAH. They dropped the "J" on "us" and we feel asleep. The snooze gun. He was trying to wake us up! Now is our chance to dance our way, out of our constrictions. With the groove (Soul) our only guide we should all be moved. Feet don't fail us now. Thank You, George for risking it all to enlighten those who would be enlightened.

  4. b.... ....

  8. S.... F....

    This song reminds me of my middle nephew when he was young. He and his brothers heard my "Maggot Brain" and "Free Your Mind" albums, and were hooked. This one had the entire collection of Funk. And now, he's a successful brother w/a beautiful family. In fact, all three of them are. The Funk Works!

    ​@Realnigga Turner George Clinton was raised a Gnostic Ethiopian, all throughout Parliament Funkadelic are little clues...secret things to be discovered.


    "The Pharisees and the scholars have taken the keys of knowledge and have hidden them. They have not entered nor have they allowed those who want to enter to do so.

    As for you, be as sly as snakes and as simple as doves."

    P.... S....

    @Realnigga Turner Starchild = Joshua the Nazirene aka Jesus the Christ.
    (Anthropo/Son of Man-Bar Enash /Bar Abba/ Bar-Nabas)

    Sir Nose D'voidoffunk = Thaddeus Judas aka Judas Iscariot.

    ;)

    P.... S....

    @Paul Stoican why did starchild always wear a diaper tho ..?

    P.... S....

    @Realnigga Turner That's a damn good question! Perhaps because he taught the wisdom of the babes? The 'Bop Gun' is the 'Sword of Truth' (Perfect Speech) (IMHO)

    Prudence ('Prudentia') is the way to "Foreknowledge".

    4. "The person old in days won't hesitate to ask a little child seven days old about the place of life, and that person will live.

    *For many of the first will be last, and will become a single one.*

    22. Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the (Father's) kingdom."

    They said to him, "Then shall we enter the (Father's) kingdom as babies?"

    Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."

    37. His disciples said, "When will you appear to us, and when will we see you?"

    Jesus said, "When you strip without being ashamed, and you take your clothes and put them under your feet like little children and trample them, then [you] will see the son of the living one and you will not be afraid."

Pay attention . a picture with in a picture. 3 blind mice were on stage . amazing show . never can for get it. have you ever seen such a sight in your life, three blind mice .

  80. K.... S....

    Speaking as a Funkateer, either you get it or you don't. Funk has two messages in it.
    One that makes you party and one that is revolutionary in the upliftment of black people. If you do not understand the roles of Starchild and Sir Nosed D's Voidoffunk,
    Then simply party and leave the understanding to those who can follow instructions. "Pay Attention "

  81. n.... ....

  100. I.... s....

    In the 5th grade I was sick as a dog for 3 days and bed ridden with the flu. I was sleeping when my dear old jazz loving daddy brought me in something to make me feel better...When the 1st song started I swear it was the devil's music. But once the bassline kicked in I was up bouncing around with the 3 blind mice. It must have been all of those Star Wars sounds I heard on that album or the comic book like storyboards on the album cover that had me enthralled for the rest of the afternoon but I was up and getting around great by that evening. The P-funk healed me and I have been Hooked on the P-funk every since. Thanks Dad and you too Starchild and Uncle Jam!
