Song of the Day Mar 23

March 23, 2024

This month I’m focusing on One Hit Wonders of the 80s.

Today our song is:  Funkytown

Wikipedia tells us this about the song:

"Funkytown" is a song by American disco-funk group Lipps Inc., released by Casablanca Records in March 1980. It was written and produced by Steven Greenberg and released as the second single from the group's debut studio album, Mouth to Mouth (1979).

"Funkytown" was met with immediate commercial success, reaching number one on various record charts in different countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Israel, New Zealand, Spain, the United States and West Germany. It quickly became the group's signature song, selling over eight million copies worldwide, making it their most successful song.

Enjoy!
