When I was five years old, my dad took me to Madison Square Garden to see the Ringling Bros. circus. At one point during the show, a bunch of clowns ran into the crowd as part of an ill-conceived attempt at audience participation. As a young kid, it terrified me and became one of the central themes of my childhood nightmares. Anyway, the above "rap" video - from Bootsy Collins and his son Ouiwey ("Oooh-weee") - reminded me of that. Bizarre.
There's apparently an entire series of these videos, should you be so inclined to watch more of them. Here's part 2.

Damn, nice find. Bootsy has come a long way since the Funkadelic days. At least he's stayed ultra-weird over 25 years.
I got that link from one of my coworkers. He listens almost exclusively to funkadelic and Mantronix, and blasts it out of his office all day long. Pretty funny to see the rest of the people at my company (soft rock crowd) react to him.
Back to the clowns...I could never take Chucky seriously. That evil clown puppet in Poltergeist, though, that traumatized me when I first saw that movie.
