 Funkytown (Lipps, Inc.) - Reviews on RateItAll
"Funkytown" was one of the last, great songs of the disco era.
Instantly recognizable to most generations, "Funkytown" has been covered several times, including a version by Pseudo Echo (which charted in 1987).
The original by Lipps, Inc. was a huge hit in 1980, charting in the U.S. for 15 weeks (peaking at #1 for 4 of those weeks); nevertheless, the single suffers slightly as a Big 80's song, as it falls within a then waning genre.

It's a magical collage of obnoxious beats (that change pace), a vocoder voice, sequenced-keyboard rhythms and sound effects that makes a really a fascinating listen, especially when it's pulsating at high volume while driving down the highway with the moon roof open under the twinkling stars.
