Biography
Formation
Consisting of MC and producer Daniel Rankine (aka Mr Trials or simply Trials), MCs Adam Baker (aka Uncle Sesta or simply Sesta) and Matthew Honson (aka Sketchy Hons or simply Hons), and DJ Daniel Yates (aka Reflux), Funkoars was established in Adelaide around the year 1999. According to Trials, a "Funkoar is the dreg of society. It is the funnel in which all morals and conscious are drained into the river Styx."
In March 2014, Sesta explained that at the time of the band's formation, notions of fame or success were not a significant factor in the creative process, and he thinks "that's what gave the local scene such a strong foundation. There was no promised light at the end of the tunnel that your average band would dare to dream of." Sesta further explained that artists at the time were driven by a love of hip hop culture, unconcerned by market trends, and they "enjoyed the process of making the songs" most of all. In addition to Gravediggaz and Akinyele, Sesta also identified Centrelink as an early influence of the band, as bandmate "Hons would come to my house on check day [welfare payment day] and we'd finish a case of imported (from Melbourne) beer and a hot chicken. We passed it back and forth on a body board in a small wading pool we got from Cheap As Chips. Came up with a lot of ideas there, sort of."

Funkoars: Greatest Hits
Hey Seti, Yeah we should get some girl going like "hooow" and shit for the chorus for the girls
Oh I could probably do it like this "HOOW"
You are not Jesus
You just nailed now you must bail
Hanging around's out of the question
I'm dropping the confession.
Cause gotta live a lotta shots and take it to her like a soccer lesson
She play the goal keeper
Soul reason i'm here is to retire old with a pole eater
Ladies! Is that a bun in the oven?
Want some lovin'? Better suck that gut in!
Urrh, they should've left you where they found ya,
The girls got traffic cuz they cant move around her,
They're like "I am beautifuuuul",
I guess again you're better off making friends with lesbians!
It sounds sick but I love a dumb chick,
When the smartest thing coming 'outta their mouths my dick,
Heads swell again,
Hip size is irrelevant,
Aslong as their throat can take more than a pelicans,
So throw your centrelink cards in the air! Girls!
And wave'em like you just dont care! Ladies!
If you're livin' the dream I wanna hear you scream:
I dont pay full price for bus fare!
For gods sake...
She looked like Olivia Newton John...
Except she was really ugly and had...
Huge balls...
