In Europe and Oceania, it was a hit in several countries, peaking at number two in New Zealand, number five in Finland, number 11 in Australia, and number 18 in the Netherlands. Keir McFarlane directed the song's music video, featuring the artists performing in a nightclub. "Do You Wanna Get Funky" was awarded one of ASCAP's Rhythm & Soul Awards in 1995.




Composition


Sampling Nice & Smooth's "Hip Hop Junkies", "Do You Wanna Get Funky" is a Snoop Doggy Dogg-esque ragga, hip hop, and P-funk track "with highly charged vocal performances" and "a slick and insinuating groove that is padded with ear-pleasing synth lines".




Critical reception


Larry Flick from Billboard praised "Do You Wanna Get Funky", predicting that its "killer hook and a memorable refrain" will "push the act up the charts once again". Troy J. Augusto from Cash Box highlighted its "heavy-duty dance groove, some tasty toast-vox from Trilogy and a heaping helping of Ms. Wash’s operatic voice", and also suggested the "fiery track" could be a hit on "a large cross-section of contemporary radio". Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "When was the last C&C hit? In other words, high time for a new one." Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update called it the best cut "on a rather patchy new album", positively commenting on the choice of sample and "superb diva vocals from Martha Wash and Zelma Davis".
