"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 was charted at number 5 in the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[1] Reviewing the album, People singled "Static" out for praise, calling it "inflammatory".[2] It contains samples of four songs, "I Know You Got Soul", "Hot Pants (I'm Coming, I'm Coming, I'm Coming)", "Alice, I Want You Just for Me", and "Hot Pants Road".[3] It was the last Top 40 hit[definition needed] of Brown's career.[citation needed]
The song's title inspired the identity of the DC Comics superhero Static.[4]
