"Cold Blooded" was a hit funk song for Rick James in 1983. James wrote the song about his relationship with actress Linda Blair.[citation needed] Released from the album of the same title, it spent six weeks at number one on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and reached number forty on the Hot 100.[1]

In 1999, the song was covered by American rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard and included on his album Nigga Please.

On The Chappelle Show during an episode with a Rick James sketch, James (played by Chapelle) sings the song after slapping Charlie Murphy.

The song was featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on a fictional funk station Bounce FM.
