Came across this jam on Youtube just recently – its labelled as a Funkadelic track Ive never heard of before: “Heavens to Megatroid”…sounds like Eddie jamming, Hendrix-like, really showing his rock side. I barely see mention of it online though, and haven’t been able to find out yet what it is from…someone on here surely knows though? :folded_hands:

I only found one mention here (on P-Funk Forums), buried in a long thread about rare/unreleased tracks…anyway, sounds kind of like a studio (or perhaps live) jam; it’s not great sound quality but I love the playing. When I first listened, I wondered if it was even a “Funkadelic” track at all…the only one I was fairly sure of was that it was Eddie on lead guitar, so maybe it was a posthumous Eddie track I hadn’t come across before.

There’s also some web hits that come up under the word “Murgatroyd” as opposed to “Megatroid”, FWIW…but unless I’m missing it, I’ve not yet found the original source, or year the material was recorded. Help?! :slight_smile:

I think it’s from the hardcore jollies/Games Dames sessions. And I think it’s Bigfoot and Bootsy, accompanying…think :grinning_face:

Shame it’s not on Rest in P, with a better recording. It’s the bomb, ain’t it.

The name is probably yet another Hannah Barbera ref. Heavens to Murgatroyd is the catchphrase of a dude called Snagglepus, a pink, thespian mountain lion. Exit stage left…

I believe so. Was it listed as Eddie Hazel Rocks Out (Smeeros Jam)?
