That's right, _Ball Hog or Tugboat?_.  Maggot Brain is a Funkadelic song from
their album of the same name.  On Mike Watt's version, the ex-Funkadelic
keys player Bernie Worrell plays keys, and J.Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. plays the
lead guitar.

Even more off topic:
The band Widespread Panic (whose bass player has apparently expressed an
affinity for Funkadelic, Mike Watt, _and_ Blue Oyster Cult) does a nice
abbreviated version of Maggot Brain in concert on rare occasions...
