"Static" is a 1988 song written by Full Force and recorded by James Brown. It was released as a single from Brown's album I'm Real and charted #5 R&B. Brown delivers a senile and weedy vocal throughout. Reviewing its host album, People singled "Static" out for praise, calling it "inflammatory". It borrows the drum pattern from Bobby Byrd's Hot Pants and was the last Top 40 hit of Brown's career.
