Funkytown

8/5/18

Let's travel back to 1979 (the year I was born!) when a little group from Minneapolis, Minnesota went double platinum with a disco-single called "Funkytown" 

I don't care who you are, you have fun when you hear this song:




Maybe 8 minutes is a bit much- but it's fun, right? 

Lipps Inc (pronounced Lip Sync) made 3 studio albums, but failed to even touch the instant hit they had with "Funkytown" which shot to number 1 in 28 countries.  The group disbanded in 1985 and I'd imagine somebody is still making royalties from this earworm.  

Sunday afternoon I turned this song on for my kids as we were driving home-  immediately they were dancing and singing along.  It's just a fun song.
