From the liner notes of Red Hot and Dance:
"George Michael's involvement in this project cannot pass without comment. Not only has he generously donated three brand new songs which are totally exclusive to this album but his work behind the scenes ensured that this LP saw the light of day. His actions are a forceful reminder that it is down to each individual to utilise their own personal power to fight AIDS and the terrible prejudices that surround it. Fight without prejudice volume one. Respect George."
The mis-success of the Red Hot and Dance-project from which this song was the only single-release was one of the main reasons why George wanted to leave Sony Music. George contributed 4 brand new songs to the project and most of them were originally planned for Listen Without Prejudice Vol. II. When he rejected his plans to release another part of his 1990 album (a more upbeat version of Vol. I) he used Crazymandance for the b-side of Too Funky and Do You Really Want To Know and Happy for exclusive tracks for the Red Hot & Dance album which also featured dance remixes of songs by Madonna, Seal, PM Dawn and Lisa Stansfield amongst others.
Just like in the video for Freedom 90 George once again asked many of the world's most beautiful and famous models like Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell to star in the clip for Too Funky instead of him (he could only be seen as 'the director').
In the year prior to this he was already unsatisfied with Sony Music's treatment but the overwhelming success of his 1991 charity single Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me with Elton John made him stay with the record company. But with Too Funky in 1992 it was all over - it was the last single he recorded for Sony before he got out of his contract in 1995 and had to release Outside and As as part of the deal with his new record company Virgin.
AIDS has always been a matter of heart for George and so the most important thing for him regarding the release of Too Funky was to raise awareness for the Red Hot & Dance compilation. All the proceeds from the sale of this album (and of the single) were to go to AIDS charity projects but the sales of the record were absolutely embarrassing. George even wrote a letter to business magazine Record Mirror when a DJ had claimed earlier, George wouldn't need any support on radio for his work.
Red Hot and Dance was the second major project produced by Red Hot and Blue, an AIDS organisation dedicated to raising money and awareness to fight the onslaught of HIV, the virus that can lead to AIDS, and the ignorance and prejudice that continues to make the AIDS crisis worse than it should be.
On the back of every sleeve of the Too Funky release George wrote:
"All proceeds from this single will be donated to AIDS organizations in the country where this recording was purchased. SAFER SEX SAVES LIVES. Advocate for government committed to finding a cure for HIV, the virus that compromises the immune system and can lead to a variety of symptoms we call AIDS. Treat people with AIDS with the dignity and the care they deserve. STOP AIDS NOW."
