Which 1977 Parliament album includes the track "Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk"?

The 1977 Parliament album that includes “Sir Nose D’Voidoffunk” is Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome.

Released by Casablanca Records on November 28, 1977, the album is a loose concept record built around Parliament’s P-Funk mythology. Its story contrasts the liberating power of funk with the “Placebo Syndrome,” which George Clinton associated with consumerism and disco’s commercial gloss.

“Sir Nose d’Voidoffunk (Pay Attention – B3M)” is the album’s second track and introduces Sir Nose, a character portrayed as the embodiment of being “devoid of funk.” The character becomes a recurring antagonist alongside the heroic Starchild. The song also reworks familiar nursery-rhyme melodies, including “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep” and “Three Blind Mice,” with altered lyrics.

A common mix-up is choosing Motor Booty Affair, another Parliament album from 1978. Funkentelechy instead contains the major P-Funk classic “Flash Light,” whose prominent Minimoog synthesizer bass line was played by Bernie Worrell. The original vinyl edition also included a poster and an eight-page comic explaining the album’s concept.
