Parliament

In modern politics and history, a parliament is a legislative, elected body of government. Generally a modern parliament has three functions: representing the electorate, making laws, and overseeing the government (i.e., hearings, inquiries).

Although some restrict the use of the word parliament to parliamentary systems, it is also commonly used to describe the legislature in presidential systems (i.e. the French parliament), even where it is not in the official name.

Historically, parliaments included various kinds of deliberative, consultative, and judicial assemblies (i.e. the mediaeval parlements).

Etymology

The term is derived from Anglo-Norman parlement, from the verb parler 'talk'. The meaning evolved over time: originally any discussion, conversation, or negotiation (attested around 1100), through various kinds of deliberative or judicial groups, often summoned by the monarch. By 1400, it had come to mean in Britain specifically the British supreme legislature.

Origins

Various parliaments are claimed to be the oldest in the world, under varying definitions:

Parliament-Funkadelic

Parliament-Funkadelic is a funk, soul and rock music collective headed by George Clinton. Their style has been dubbed P-Funk. Collectively the group has existed under various names since the 1960s and has been known for top-notch musicianship, politically charged lyrics, outlandish concept albums and memorable live performances. They influenced numerous post-disco and post-punk music groups of the 1980s and 1990s.

The collective's origins date back to the doo-wop group the Parliaments, formed in the late 1950s in Plainfield, New Jersey. Under Clinton's direction, by the early 1970s the groups Parliament and Funkadelic were operating concurrently and consisted of the same stable of musicians playing different types of funk music for two different labels. The name "Parliament-Funkadelic" became the catch-all term for the multiple bands in Clinton's stable. By the late 1970s the collective had grown to include dozens of musicians recording and touring under many different group names and solo projects. (See P-Funk offshoot groups and solo ventures.) Overall, the collective achieved thirteen top ten hits in the American R&B music charts between 1967 and 1983, including six number one hits. Funkadelic is a funk band with a psychedelic rock touch whose influences include the amplified sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, James Brown's funk, blues, Sun Ra's experimentation, Frank Zappa's and the Coasters' humor, the concept albums of the Beatles and the Who and southern soul artists like Otis Redding and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Parliament is a funk/R&B band whose influences are the funky side of Hendrix and Sly Stone, Motown soul groups turned funk groups like the Temptations, the political songs of the Impressions, Rufus Thomas' southern funk, doo-wop groups like the Coasters for the humour and Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers.

Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome

There's so much syndrome, baby
There's so much syndrome, baby
When all the smiles are out of town
You're going round and round
You find the syndrome
When your ups lift you down
Your placebo is too weak
You're in the syndrome
You're in the syndrome
And the intensity of their sadness
Is equal to the intensity they enjoy
There's so much syndrome, baby
When all the thing is out of sound
There's no coming round
Play with the syndrome
What used to be such fun to do
Can often leave you weak
Into the syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
Livin' at the top of the syndrome
Placebo syndrome
There's so much syndrome, baby
When all the smiles are out of town
You're falling round and round
You find the syndrome
When your ups lift you down
Your placebo is too weak
You're in the syndrome
When all the smiles are out of town
You're falling round and round
You find the syndrome
When your ups lift you down
Your placebo is too weak
You're in the syndrome
So good, syndrome
Livin' in the syndrome
