The point was kinda that it doesn't make much sense to call them the funkiest bunch of white guys on earth in the context of them having firmly become a mainstream rock band. In fact it just sounds downright ridiculous. What's more, as I've commonly found, generally the fans of their later material don't even LIKE their funk stuff and only like the Chilis for their cookie-cutter pop rock. Yet you still find them referring to them as "funk" and "funky". Just makes ya laugh.
