In contrast to several previous songs with a similar lyrical theme, "Standing on the Verge of Getting It On" shows tremendous growth in songwriting as the suggestion to get Funky also explicity includes a connection with social change and an awakening of the mind, and not just dancing.
"Standing on the Verge is a full-bodied, crazy mess in the best possible way, with heavy funk jams that still smoke today while making a lot of supposedly loud and dangerous rock sound anemic."

However the only single from the album - its title track - failed to chart at all, possibly because of its lyrical content which told the story of a single mother, who turns to prostitution to pay for her children’s upkeep.
By the time that “Cosmic Slop”’s follow-up, “Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On” reached the shops, the musicians on the record had scored an R&B Top 10 hit, but not as Funkadelic and not on Westbound.

Which gets us to a key irony of the conservative assault on the concept of journalistic objectivity and claims of media bias.
They can't get themselves to say it, even though the authors of the piece, Nagourney and Stevenson, are seasoned political reporters who know the relevant facts perfectly well enough to make the judgment themselves.
Now the folks at the Wall Street Journal editorial page are pulling the standard dump on Bremer, claiming that he, in addition to getting this or that wrong during his tenure in Iraq, now can't keep his story straight about whether he was asking for more troops on the ground in the country or not.

Franklin Roosevelt once said, “The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger.

Original single edits of "Cosmic Slop," "Standing on the Verge of Getting It On," and "Red Hot Mama" will make you long for the extended album versions.
Of course, all of Funkadelic's genius is not contained on just these 2 discs and the one drawback is that many of their epic extended jams are edited down from their original form.

 Joshua Redman Elastic Band: Momentum - PopMatters Music Review
The problem is, however, that Redman has been standing on the verge of getting it on for a very long time now.
This album is the more groove-focused of the two (the other is the first album from the SFJazz Collective, of which he is the artistic director), and is probably supposed to show that Josh Redman can, in fact, get down and boogie.
James Brown was a major jazz artist (ever hear him play organ?), Jimmy Smith knew how to get down in it, there are examples of funky jazz everywhere, stuff that didn't stop and get smooth just when it should be getting hard.

Heavy funk, political refrains, R&B love songs and innovative instrumentation all shine on this 1973 recording, which contains the beloved title track about a woman forced to work as a prostitute in order to make money to feed her family.
Eddie Hazel’s hard funk jams take the spotlight in this album, with songs such as “Standing on the Verge of Getting It On” urging fans to get funky—not only by dancing, but by opening one’s mind and fighting for social change.
With horns, layered synths and spoken word and introducing the Star Child/Mothership allegory, this album continues to be an influence on artists of multiple musical genres, even decades later.
