Okay, so I’ve searched high and low and even tried to use [SongTapper](http://www.songtapper.com) and other similar services to identify this song, but I’ve had no luck.

On [this video](http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=44281256), at exactly the 30 minute mark, they do a little dance to a sped-up version of a funk song that I can’t seem to remember the title (or artist, or anything beyond the beat) of. I apologize in advance that Myspace’s video player sucks and you can’t fast-forward to the 30 minute mark, so I suggest letting the video download in the background while doing other things.

So anyway, can the Dope name that tune? I spent over an hour trying everything I could find to try and ID it today.

It could also be “(Not Just) Knee Deep” by Funkadelic, which the De La Soul thing is based on.
