[This is a complete reprint of the 2024 pancocojams post with the same title. That post has no visitor comments as of the date and time of this 2026 publication.

For some unknown reason I thought of this song, found that pancocojams post, and returned to that YouTube video to add more comments to the comments that are included in this pancocojams post. Comments #91-#102 have been added to this post in 2026.

The 2024 post remains in this pancocojams blog and this complete reprint is published to increase the opportunities that people have to experience this song and read those comments.]

This pancocojams post showcases Shorty Long's now classic 1966 Rhythm & Blues record "Function At The Junction".

The original version of "Function At The Junction" is showcased in this post along with an unofficial extended version of that record.

This pancocojams post also includes the lyrics for the 1966 "Function At The Junction" record along with a small number of comments from the discussion thread for the video of that record unofficial extended version.

The content of this post is presented for historical, cultural, linguistic, entertainment, and aesthetic purposes.

I'm especially interested in comments about the dances that were performed for this record in the late 1960s as well as comments that mention roller skating to this record during the 1960s and beyond.

As is the case with most pancocojams selected comments compilations, it's not just what is said but how it is said, with special attention to the use of African American Vernacular English.

Thanks to Edward Holland and Shorty Long for composing this song and thanks to Shorty Long for recording this song and his other hit R&B song "Here Comes The Judge".  Thanks to The Funk Brothers (back up musicians) and all those who were associated with this record. Thanks also to all those who are quoted in this post and thanks to the publishers of this videos on YouTube.

LYRICS- FUNCTION AT THE JUNCTION
(composed by Edward Holland & Shorty Long)

I'm getting ready for the function at the junction
And baby you better come on, now now
Because everybody's gonna be there
We've got people comin' from everywhere

We've got Ling Ting Tong from China
Long Tall Sally from Carolina
We've got 007, the private eye
And he's bringin' all the guys from I Spy

Come one, come all, we're gonna have a ball
Down at the function at the junction
And baby you better come on, now now

We're serving egg foo young and barbecue
Having chicken dumplings and kidney stew
Having heap big fun 'til the break of dawn
Gonna shake a tail feather, shoot him 'fore he run
Hold a shotgun on the rooster, and dare him to crow
Hotfoot anybody sleepin', make 'em get out on the floor

Tell him to tell them, to tell Paul to tell them all
Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction
And tell 'em that they'd better come on, now now
Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction, baby
Tell 'em that they'd better come on, now now
All the soul brothers, jitterbuggers
Hip cats and fancy hats
And pretty girls with pretty smiles
All decked out in the latest styles
And Farmer Jim and Guitar Slim
And Betty Boop and "Oop-boop-be-doop"
Mohair Sam from Alabam'
And Minnesota Fats from Hobo Flats
Breath-takin', hip-shakin' cuties, now
Talkin' 'bout some fascinatin', devastatin' beauties, now

They'll all be gathering here, from far and near
For the function at the junction
And brother, you better come on, now now
Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction
Sister, you better come on, now now

Talkin' 'bout a function at the junction
Everybody, you better come on, now
You ain't never seen the function at the junction
You ain't never...

(Stevie's meaning, of course.)"

"I was in a mood to reminiscence after speaking to my older sister (cousin) who I grew up with.  She now lives in Delaware since she retired 5 years ago.  I remember a party she had in my aunt's basement / rec-room - Jamaica Queens,  1965 I was 13 Y.O. that was the first time I heard Function at the Junction and learned a dance called "the goose and the Gander".

My big sister really knew how to dance: all the dances from the 60's 70's and 80's and she could Mambo (Latin we used to call it). just as good as the Latinos from the old neighborhood.  Funny how a song and a phone call can trigger a memory.  She also introduced me to my second wife in 1997 who I'm still married too.

Love you Sarah Jane"

INFORMATION ABOUT THE "TALKIN OUT THE SIDE OF YOUR NECK" RECORD
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talkin%27_Out_the_Side_of_Your_Neck
"Talkin' Out the Side of Your Neck" is a song by American funk band Cameo and the third track on their 1984 album, She's Strange. The song was released as a single with "LΓ©ve Toi!" in 1984.[2] Since its release, it has become associated with HBCU bands[3] and the LSU Tiger Marching Band.[4]

Composition

"Talkin' Out the Side of Your Neck" features elements of hip hop and funk music. Daryl Easlea, writing for BBC Music, described the song as "an attack on the Reagan government [...] rocking a metal groove, full of sassy uptown horns with Talking Heads-style keyboard washes".[5] The song's lyrics mention presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan, with the chorus repeating "You're gonna get what's comin' to you yet".

ARTICLE EXCERPT ABOUT THE TUNE "NECK"

[Added September 10, 2026- This article includes the story of Norfolk State University's marching band being the first band to play "Neck".  However, there are other HBCUs that indicate that they were the first to perform "Neck". i plan to publish a post on that subject ASAP and I'll add that link here.]  


https://hbcugameday.com/2019/12/30/cameo-neck-hbcu-marching-band-starts-norfolk-state-spartan-legion/  "The Origin of ‘Neck’: How Cameo’s hit became an HBCU band anthem" by Gerald Huggins (HBCU Gameday Newswire), December 30, 2019

Cameo dropped “Talking Out The Side of Ya Neck” 35 years ago and the HBCU world has never been the same since. How did it start?

"HBCUs have a long and illustrious history of athletic and band achievements. When attending an HBCU sporting event, attendees should expect to see a tailgate, the Royal Courts, the NPHC (National Pan-Hellenic Council), alumni of all ages, athletes, and without a doubt, they will experience a black college band performance.

Each HBCU marching band has its own flavor, style, and prestige making them special in their own right. However, they all share one special song: Cameo’s “Talkin Out the Side of Yo Neck.” Since its adoption, everyone in the HBCU community agrees this is a timeless marching band anthem, but like most great traditions, many bands like to claim they were the first to perform it. Until now, no one could truly lay claim to the elusive title of originator. On December 22, 2019, I found out in the basement during a family function in Prince George’s County, Maryland. 

I was asked to attend a family gathering by my friend Kathryne Burton. The get together was at her friend, Aerika Anderson’s home. This would be my first time visiting and I knew her dad was my frat brother so I decided to go. Once I found out he was from Pi Gamma chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, it was instant love at that point. The night was winding down and the remaining people congregated to the basement at the bar downstairs. As we were having great conversation and good laughs, I overheard something that I found to be groundbreaking.

Anthony “Tony” Anderson, a native of Richmond, VA, a graduate of Norfolk State University and Spring 1985 initiate of the Pi Gamma chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, mentioned the song “Talkin Out the Side of Yo Neck.” Anderson was one of the well-respected leaders of NSU’s Spartan Legion in 1984. Anderson continued the conversation and in a split second, he tapped his chest twice and emphatically.

“I’m the one who started playing Neck first,” he beamed proudly. “We played that back in 1984!”

Everyone outside of family and friends, who had obviously heard the story before, were shocked.

Like us, many people are not too sure of the origin behind Neck and who played it first. I thought a SWAC school was the first to do it. My friend, Chelsea Chambers thought it was Southern University who started it in the late 90s. So it was only right to hear the whole story behind the HBCU marching band anthem. Denise Anderson, who was an original “Hot Ice” dance line member back in 1984 co-signed and confirmed that Tony was the person to bring the idea to the rest of the band. She even called her dance line sister, Stephanie Wright-Jenkins, for further confirmation. Denise and Wright-Jenkins were apart of the Hot Ice’s Original Six, which started back in 1983.

Tony Anderson, who was a trombone player during the 1984 season and later became drum major in 1985, continued to go in-depth with the story of how he came up with the idea.

“I was riding back to Hampton with my brothers, we were passing the Williamsburg exit on I-64 and the song came on and I knew I wanted to use this song. The title and the blaring horns are what called my attention to the song being that Hampton U always talked trash as rival bands did. This was a week before we played Hampton. I had to write down the lyrics, the notes and buy the tape but I knew this was it!”

[…]

“The crowd went crazy over the song. They yelled from the first up 2! It caught on like nobody’s business.”

The Spartan Legion completed their performance and to put the icing on the cake, Norfolk State defeated Hampton University 15-7 in the Battle of the Bay. That was also the day that Neck became the Spartan Legion anthem. Prior to this game, “Warren’s Jam,” was the Legion’s original anthem.

It was a banner year for NSU. The school won the CIAA basketball and football titles that year, and apparently its band was at the forefront of a new movement.

There has been a ton of speculation behind who came up with Neck but one thing that can be confirmed is the impact Anderson and the Spartan Legion had on America’s Marching Band culture. Anderson spoke on the expansion of the song throughout the numerous marching bands locally and statewide.

“After we played it, we got so much approval from it, that became our anthem,” Anderson said.  “Then others started catching onto it and playing it as well. See, Norfolk is a big feeding area and all the local middle school, high school, and college bands in the area started to play it and that was because of us. It’s still a big thing because it’s a song that every marching band plays now. You ask anybody from Norfolk State back in the day and they’ll tell you that we started that. So to hear not only HBCUs but PWIs (Predominantly White Institutions) like LSU and Ohio State playing it was crazy.”

[…]

To be the originator of something so important to not only Black culture but band culture has to feel like a tremendous accomplishment. There has been chatter that the SWAC may have played it first in 1984 but according to Wright-Jenkins, the impact of Neck belongs to Norfolk State’s Spartan Legion, then a band in the CIAA.

“I want the credit to be given where it should. To hear elementary, middle, high school, black college, and PWIs are playing it. I believe Hampton was the first to play it after us because they copied everything we did. Then Howard was after Hampton. I was told that Texas Southern may have played it the same year but to my knowledge, the SWAC didn’t catch onto Neck until the 90s. Neck is the most influential song to bands. Everyone across lines plays Neck. It’s almost as common as hearing the Star-Spangled Banner every time you go to a college sporting event.”

For 35 years, Neck has become the most notable band song to be played throughout the country. When the song starts, you can see how infectious the sound is to a crowd. At HBCUs, you will see people dancing and members of the D9 strolling to this song. Chances are if you went to an HBCU football game and this song played, you will see members of Omega Psi Phi setting it owt to Neck. That’s most fitting considering Anderson is also a member.

There is no definite answer to who started playing Neck first but one is hard-pressed to hear a story like this one and not believe it. And remember, there was no Youtube to document what was played on a weekly basis. The way Anderson and Wright-Jenkins spoke of this cultural phenomenon gave me no reason not to believe that the Spartan Legion were the pace-setters to the marching band anthem. In my conversations with them both, the most important characteristic of this story is impact. Neck will be a song that will be played for many more years to come.

Thank you, to Anthony “Tony” Anderson and the Spartan Legion for their attribution to the culture.

INFORMATION ABOUT LASHUN PACE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaShun_Pace
"Tarrian LaShun Pace (September 6, 1961 – March 21, 2022),[1] professionally known as LaShun Pace and sometimes credited as LaShun Pace-Rhodes or Shun Pace-Rhodes, was an American gospel singer, songwriter and evangelist. Pace was also a Stellar Award winner.

[...] 

Career

Pace began singing professionally during her teen years in the mid-1970s, performing solo and later alongside her sisters in the group The Anointed Pace Sisters, which formed in the late 1980s. Pace's singing and ministering skills were honed while she was on tour with the Rev. Gene Martin and the Action Revival Team, and with The Edwin Hawkins Singers from 1986 until her death.

In 1988 she recorded In the House of the Lord with Dr. Jonathan Greer and the Cathedral of Faith Church of God in Christ Choirs for Savoy Records. The label signed Pace as a solo artist soon afterwards. In 1990, she released her debut album He Lives, which reached the number two spot on the Billboard gospel charts and featured her signature song "I Know I've Been Changed". The follow-up song Shekinah Glory, appeared in 1993. Three years later, Pace returned with Wealthy Place, which included the song "Act Like You Know" featuring Karen Clark Sheard."...

Did she sing this song so cold that I originally thought she had a whole band and chorus behind her? All she has is a drummer keeping the beat. Then she turned the audience into the choir and was directing them. ❤️ Good God!"
