Whas'nEVER I Play, It's Got To Be FUNKY - All-Onomatopoeia Squad

This week, it's all about songs with hot onomatopoetic elements.  This does not include sound effects, strictly instruments played in a way to make them sound like some element of the song.   Jungle Boogie – Kool & The Gang (Listen to those elephants!) Car Wash – Rose Royce (the popping guitar is the foam as it bubbles onto the car) Little Red Rooster – Sam Cooke (the organist is a beast, imitating the rooster, the dogs, and the hound) Jesus Can Work It Out – Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir - watch the B3 as it shows the water rolling back when the Israelites go through the Red Sea Easy Goin' Evening (My Mother's Call) – Stevie Wonder - Sounds just like what it describes.  This song makes you want to sit in a lawn chair and sip some lemonade, fanning away mosquitos. Aqua Boogie – Parliament - pure submarine funk. Spinning Wheel – Blood, Sweat, & Tears - 100% merry-go-round jam
