How to Be a Futurist

See, because James Brown kinda owned the phrase “Sex Machine.” Even if the company that makes the device in question doesn’t call it “The Sex Machine,” they’ll probably want the song for their commercials.

The song in question is titled “Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine.” I enjoy it not just because it’s a great song, but because I’m fascinated by the intro, in which James Brown declares to his band and the audience that he feels “like doing (his) thing,” “like a, like a sex machine, man!” The first time he tried that intro out on an unsuspecting audience, I suspect the reaction was a bit muted.
