Yeah that guitar slide slays it. I actually kinda dislike the opening break, as a break anyway. Penguin by a mile.

 

[JUICE_TOE]

EMPEROR Penguin!

 

[dj_cityboy]

oh hells yeah Funky Penguin is still IT for me, man that track is so dope…

 

[Rustledust]

It's got to be Penguin but Itch and Scratch Pt 1 & 2 is THEE Rufus joint.

Whoa... WTF radio are you listening to? Tell me more. Who is playing the Mexican Funky Chicken 45 on terrestrial radio?
