The song starts with 'Yertle The Turtle' (from 1985's Freaky Styley), then goes into the Freaky Styley title track. The rest of the song is jams of various Funkadelic or Parliament songs, such as Cosmic Slop and Cholly (Funk Getting Ready To Roll!). Near the end, Flea and John Frusciante play Untitled #2, from Frusciante's first solo album Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt. The songs are pieced together with other jamming.
