"Super Bad" is a 1970 James Brown song. Originally released as a three-part single, it went to #1 on the R&B chart and number 13 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔White, Cliff (1991). "Discography". In ''Star Time'' (pp. 54–59) (booklet ). New York: PolyGram Records.〕 The song's lyrics include the refrain "I've got soul and I'm super bad." The positive use of the word "bad" is an example of linguistic reappropriation, which Brown had done before in "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud". The song includes a tenor saxophone solo by Robert McCollough, during which Brown yells "Blow me some Trane, brother!" Brown re-recorded "Super Bad" for a 1971 album of the same name. He performed the song on ''Soul Train'' on February 10, 1973. The 1987 UK No 1. MARRS song Pump Up the Volume samples the "Watch Me" vocal part of the song. ==Personnel== * James Brown - lead vocal ''with The J.B.'s:'' * Clayton "Chicken" Gunnells - trumpet * Darryl "Hasaan" Jamison - trumpet * Robert McCollough - tenor saxophone * Bobby Byrd - organ * Phelps "Catfish" Collins - guitar * William "Bootsy" Collins - bass * John "Jabo" Starks - drums * Johnny Griggs - congas〔Leeds, Alan, and Harry Weinger (1991).
