I heard a song on the radio with the lyrics "I like to swim" sung by a
Larry Blackmon sounding funk singer. He also mentions "chicken of the
sea" and other aquatic things, but keeps repeating the phrase "I like
to swim." His phrasing is intentionally moronic in an ironic way that
is sheer genius.The vocalists intonation is somewhere between singing
and speaking. He sounds black.
Who did this song? Where can I get it? Hip Hop And Funk::
Simply put, brothers out west brought p-funk to the hip hop round table. . Underground made a lot of noise with a hard hittin' song entitled 'Underwater Rimes'. He eventually won them over when he started cutting up p-funk songs.

I wonder if this might have been "Scat Swim," by Sly Stewart (of "Sly
and the Family Stone").
There's a clip of "Scat Swim" here:

By chance, was the music along with it sounding like a demo button on a keyboard?

No, it is neither Sly Stewart or Fishbone.
Neither song qualifies as funk.
The lyrics are way off.
I don't remember actually.
Googlenut, that has GOT to be it! You are amazing. I am in awe.

Hello solaris4321-ga,
It sounds like you may be looking for "Swim" by Fishbone.

Fishbone - Give A Monkey A Brain And He'll Swear He's The Center Of The Universe
http://www.punknews.org/reviews.php?op=albumreview&id=3708
"The album's first track, "Swim," can either be the song that brings
you in or makes you dismiss the album without even listening to the
rest of the album. I say this because while the song is very energetic
and does a great job of showing Fishbone's heavier influences, the
repetitive chorus of "I like to swim" may be too repetitious for
many."
