Changes: Give up the Funk

Revision as of 19:58, 10 December 2018

Give up the Funk by Parliament is featured in Funk, the twenty-first episode of Season One. It is sung by the New Directions, with solos from Artie, Finn, Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina.

The song was sung as part of a scrimmage against their rivals, Vocal Adrenaline, who had teepeed their Choir Room and performed in their auditorium, after breaking in with Sue's help. By performing this song, the New Directions are showing them what happens when you let go and enjoy the fun of performing and just getting funky. This is also partly revenge for Vocal Adrenaline throwing eggs at Rachel. Jesse also says, "They performed a funk number. We have never been able to pull off a funk number," to which Giselle agrees saying that they were "souless automatons" echoing what was said earlier. Puck smirks after the performance saying, "See you punks at Regionals."
