George Michael - Too Funky single cover | |||||||||||||||
"Too Funky" was a song written and performed by George Michael and released by Epic Records in 1992.
The song was lyrically a basic, animalistic plea from George for sexual activity with an individual and musically it was the most upbeat record he had released since Faith almost five years previously. It featured a clip from The Graduate. Anne Bancroft's line of "Would you like me to seduce you? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" was repeated during the final crescendo. The song then ended with a sample from the BBC sitcom Hancock's Half Hour, with the line "Will you stop playing with that radio of yours? I'm trying to get to sleep!". Too Funky was George's final single for his publishing deal with Sony Music before he started legal action to extricate himself from his contract. Too Funky had been initially earmarked for a follow-up to the album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 but George shelved the idea, instead donating it, along with three other songs, to the project Red Hot + Dance, which raised money for AIDS awareness. George subsequently donated the Too Funky royalties to the same cause. The song didn't appear on any George Michael studio album, although later it was included on his solo collection Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael. The video featured George (sporadically) as a director filming a number of supermodels, similarly to the video for his 1990 single Freedom! '90. The supermodels featured in this video include Linda Evangelista, Tyra Banks, Beverly Peele, and Nadja Auermann. Too Funky reached #4 in the UK singles chart in 1992 and became that year's most played record in Europe. | |||||||||||||||
