Dr. Funkenstein was one of George Clinton's many alter egos in the P-Funk mythology.

A live version of the song was performed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the late eighties and appears on the 1998 compilation, 'Under the Covers: Essential Red Hot Chili Peppers'.

In the 2015 'Doctor Who' episode "The Zygon Invasion", the Twelfth Doctor identifies himself as "Dr. Funkenstein".
