'''''Tales of Kidd Funkadelic''''' is the eighth studio album by the band [[Funkadelic]], released in September 1976. It was their final album on the [[Westbound Records|Westbound]] record label.  The tracks were recorded during the same sessions as their first release for [[Warner Bros. Records]],  ''[[Hardcore Jollies]]''; which was released a month later.  Two tracks from ''Tales of Kidd Funkadelic'', the single “Undisco Kidd” and the party anthem “Take Your Dead Ass Home!” have been staples in the band’s live performances since the album’s 1976 release, and can be heard on the 1977 [[Parliament (band)|Parliament]] concert album [[Live: P-Funk Earth Tour]]. The album opener “Butt-To-Buttresuscitation” and the song “I’m Never Gonna Tell It” were included in the band’s live shows during the early 2000s.  
The song "Let's Take It to the People" has been sampled by [[hip-hop]] band [[A Tribe Called Quest]] for their song "Everything Is Fair", on their album ''[[The Low End Theory]]''.

Kidd Funkadelic was/is the nickname for guitarist [[Michael Hampton]].
