George Clinton invited members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. to join him on stage at his inaugural P-Funk Festival for a legendary performance of “Atomic Dog.”
George Clinton took the stage for his inaugural P-Funk Fest in Tallahassee, Florida, where he was joined by members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., for a legendary high-energy performance of his Billboard No. 1 hit “Atomic Dog.”
On April 11, Ques from Omega Psi Phi’s Florida A&M University’s Upsilon Phi Chapter and Florida State University’s Chi Theta Chapter joined George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic for a standout performance of “Atomic Dog” at the first of what’s expected to become an annual musical celebration, HBCU Game Day reports.
“One of my prophytes alerted us that Mr. Clinton wanted us to perform Atomic Dog with him at this festival,” said Cole Bigelow, a junior at FAMU and president of the Upsilon Psi Chapter. “I was so happy to not only see him perform some of his other songs, but have a chance to step as well. It was crazy. I can only say he is iconic, and it was an honor to be on stage with him.”
Since then, the song has been deeply woven into the fraternity’s identity and remains a staple across HBCU and Divine Nine culture.
Now, with the launch of P-Funk Fest, the moment could become an annual celebration.
