"Maggot Brain" is the legendary 1971 title track and album by the band Funkadelic. It is famously defined by its surreal, spoken-word introduction and an agonizingly beautiful, 10-minute improvised guitar solo by Eddie Hazel, who was instructed by George Clinton to play "as if his mother had just died".

Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time

For y'all have knocked her up

I have tasted the maggots in the mind of the universe

I was not offended

For I knew I had to rise above it all

Or drown in my own shit
