I am departing today...for a simpler time. Often I wish I was in my 20's in the late 1960's and early 1970's. I really believe I was born too late. I needed to be in NYC at Studio 54 during the hey day. I desperately want to be surrounded by people outta their minds on the cocaina having orgies.
Songs on the radio were "Funky Town" and "Ring My Bell." Are you kidding me? Who wouldn't love some hot 70's chicky working her body across from you on the dance floor (that lit up, no less), mouthing the words, "Won't you take me to...Funky Townnnnnnnn." Yummy.
Then flip to the pop music of today. How f'n boring can you get? Why has it turned to this? At least we have hip-hop now, but even that has been a formula for the last 15 years. In 1968, Hugh Masakela scored an international hit - an international hit - with "Grazin In the Grass." Could this song ever be number one today? Hell no and this fact irks me beyond belief.
So, today on c101 we celebrate songs with soul - Hugh's wonderful gift to the musical tree and the aforementioned 12-inch version of "Funky Town" by Lipps Inc.
Funky Town
Quit flappin your pussylips. It's getting mighty stinky.
Huh?
I said, quit flappin them poosy lips. You stinky. You deaf?
Dear "Mr. I drop brown mud" or "Me Spray Green Apple Splatter" your c101 pass has been revoked. And remember I know who you are thanks to servers/statistics. Punk bitch.
I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I was just a little light-headed from all that poosy-stankin.
It's about damn time someone posted Funky Town on one of these gay websites. Just don't let Fresh catch you - he has something against quality dance-oriented music from before 1986.
Well, KW, we both know our favorite Daywalker/Ginger has some shortfalls. His misguided hatred of ABBA and Lipps Inc. is proof of that. I suppose the best we can hope for is he will come around eventually...
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. Whoa, whoa. Whoa.
I never said anything about not liking Lipps Inc. Don't go putting words into Fresh's mouth. I happen to adore Funkytown and hope to move there one day.
OK, OK, RFO, you're right, you never said anything bad about Lipps Inc. KW and I just assumed that you extended your ABBA hatred to all things disco dancy-dancy. And for the record, you already live in Funky Town, RFO.
I like the disco dancy dancy. It's all 120 BPM and perfect for some bump and grind. Or hustling. Or the rubber duckie
