Rubber Band Man by the Spinners has to be in the discussion.

The use of the superlative suffix "-est" suggests the former. If he'd been merely talking about those two songs, he would have used the comparative suffix "-er".
You didn't read his post, did you?

Which is the Funkier Song?
Up Vote for Dr John's "Right Place, Wrong Time"
Down Vote for Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"
Chicago Manual of Style as it relates to his subject notwithstanding I find it hard to come to the conclusion you did when reading his entire post.

I had to listen to DJ because I wanted to be fair in this comparison, and I hadn’t heard “in the right place” in a while. It’s pretty “funky”, his voice and a couple of the breaks funk the song up pretty good.
I am a little biased because I have been listening to Stevie a good bit lately. I have come to the realization that SW is better than Michael, Prince, and anybody making music today. He might be the GOAT. Superstition is one of my favorite songs, lately.
With all that said, I think Superstition is slightly more “funky”. Thank you for bringing this up

Based in the responses, most people interpreted it as "funkiest".
Chicago style is for history nerds. We APA around here.

Superstition was actually written by Stevie Wonder for Jeff Beck, who played it first. Wonder did a cover of his own song.
Neither of the two. Have you ever heard of The Meters? Zigabo is the drummer who can hold a groove like no one else.

So unless he sold the rights to the song to Beck (which he didn't), it's the other way around.

I Wish
Are you blind? I Wish is a much funkier Stevie song than Superstition.

You got me on a sample chain.
When you said Cameo, I thought of Dennis Edwards - Don't Look Any Further
When I thought of Dennis, I thought of EPMD's Paid in full which sampled it. That song also sampled The Soul Searchers - Ashley's Roachclip (The break in that one at about 3:31 has been sampled it lots of hip hop songs...)
