You Gotta Hear This Funk Band - Key & Peele

A 70s funk band plays a song with very strange lyrics.

About Key & Peele:
Key & Peele showcases the fearless wit of stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the duo takes on everything from "Gremlins 2" to systemic racism. With an array of sketches as wide-reaching as they are cringingly accurate, the pair has created a bevy of classic characters, including Wendell, the players of the East/West Bowl and President Obama's Anger Translator.

"Got a pocket full of funky, with a peppermint twist" is possibly the funkiest phrase to have ever been phrased.

[SirKingWest]

Every lyric is the trigger phrase for a sleeper agent somewhere around the world

[RomanticAntihero]

This is a perfect sketch. Everything in it is absolutely on point, from the weird lyrics to the one white guy with the long blond hair and beard and everything in between.

[hydrogenhyper]

The worst part is this song would 100% be on my playlist

[rlh]

What this sketch doesn’t show is that like most funk song, this goes on for another ten minutes.

[dougw]

The lyrics are every password you'd ever need

[XakTerrible]

"Deep fried Detroit soda train" 😂😂😂
Also, they're both playing bass.

[drrockkso]

I love the intensity of Jordan's delivery at 1:27, as if he was singing the most profound, emotional lyric ever written LOL.

[gutar]

This goes hard. I'm not even sure that this qualifies as parody cause it is a completely believable funk song

[elizabethwest]

I played this at a party mixed in with other funk music, and nobody batted an eye.

[CannonKnight]

An afro with a receding hairline is the most 70s thing ever.

[mumblesbadly]

The costumer designer for this skit should have won an Emmy!

[alienz]

When he said, "Penicillin Trapdoor Laser Currency Beans"

I felt that.

[samr]

“Locomotive supernova Spanish Harlem sun” does bang

[John-dwru]

Got a pocket full of funky with a peppermint twist She’s a cool, shifty mama blasting off on the flip Iridescent pork belly galactic super train Mama sister playground with a straw daddy cane
Got that quick dip crayon earthquake jet pack on a bun Locomotive supernova Spanish Harlem sun Yeah Slick crawfish solar blast with a phosphorescent brain Who’s that mama squat town? Deep fried Detroit soda train
You gotta make it swim Nebulatic comets sanitation disease Quick play tornado rip and tickle beef sneeze Heyy Ships planet justice cannons, cables and trees Doctors office penguin shillings, railroads and peas I said crippled donkey Mel Brooks book train Bats on my knees Penicillin trapdoor laser currency beans He say penicillin trapdoor laser currency beans

[mrswaggersticksgamingextra]

Thats my dad on drums! He only played with them for the Funk Future tour but he never stopped talking about it. He was always waiting for a reunion but unfortunately had a heart episode that left him completely brain dead. Miss you, dad! Still waiting for that reunion

[necasperaterent]

I don't even care if the lyrics are nonsense, this track is straight fire 🔥🔥🔥

[kgfes]

The production team that make these period accurate pieces (both the costumes and the aged video quality) doesn't get enough credit

[richardthanmyself]

I love how they always start off with something not only accurate to life but fire "I got a pocket full of funky with a peppermint twist"!? Come on thats 🔥

[omarbarraza]

I love the random funky white guy, that is so accurate
