History
P-Funk George Clinton reached commercial and conceptual heights during the late 1970s after the release of Mothership Connection and a series of spectacular concert tours. Each concert ended with a climactic drop from a giant spaceship from the ceiling. However, as the band and their funk concepts grow, organizations become entangled in internal strife, legal disputes, and creative exhaustion. "Atomic Dog" is P-Funk's last single collective to reach # 1 in the US R & amp; B chart.
According to Clinton, most of the song's lyrics were ad-libles during the recording process.

Reception and critical chart
Although "Atomic Dog" is now considered a popular classical music in the black world, he was initially detained from a radio station. George Clinton's bad reputation in the industry, his political awareness (as seen in previous albums and recordings), and the general movement toward younger action, made his songs not circulating on radio stations. Only after a very strong sale was the song finally aired. The single "Atomic Dog" was released in December 1982 and reached # 1 on the R & B, but skip Hot 100 with just one position.

Copyright claim
"Atomic Dog" is the subject of Bridgeport Music, Inc. v. UMG, Inc., et al. (Case No. 07-5596, 6th Cir 2009), a lawsuit filed in 2007 by the rights holder of the composition for "Atomic Dog" against producer "DOG in Me," a song recorded by R & B and hip-hop group Public Announcement and included in their 1998 album, All Work, No Play. In his complaint, Bridgeport claims that "DOG in Me" infringes copyright by repeating the phrase, "Bow wow wow, yippie yo, yippie yea" and rhythmic rhythms throughout the song, and by repeating the word "dog" in a tone low voice periodically as a form of music punctuation. The jury found that the defendants deliberately violated Bridgeport's rights and provided legal remedy of $ 88,980. In a November 2009 decision confirming lower court rulings, Circuit Justice Martha Craig Daughtry of the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit described the circumstances surrounding the creation of the "Atomic Dog":
The court further described "Bow Wow restraint" as the most famous aspect of the song - "in terms of iconology, perhaps the functional equivalent of 'ET home phone'" - and stated that the jury did not act unreasonably in concluding that there are many similarities between the two the work.
