Give Up the Funk ist ein Song aus der einundzwandzigsten Episode der ersten Staffel, Im Takt der Angst, und wird von Artie, Finn, Kurt, Mercedes und Tina mit den New Directions gesungen. Sie wollen mit diesem Song Vocal Adrenaline zeigen, wo deren Schwachstelle liegt, nämlich in einer Funk-Nummer. Kurt leitet den Song ein, wobei zum ersten Mal seine tiefe Stimmlage zu hören ist. Der Song dient außerdem als Rache dafür, dass Vocal Adrenaline Rachel mit Eiern beworfen hat. Am Ende meint Jesse, der wie der Rest seines Glee Clubs eingeschüchtert ist, dass sie nie eine Funk-Nummer performt haben, worauf Giselle erwidert, dass sie auch nur "seelenlose Roboter" sind. Puck lächelt darauf und meint, dass er die "Punks" bei den Regionals sieht.

Das Original stammt von Parliament aus ihrem dritten Album "Mothership Connection" aus dem Jahr 1975.
