Jennifer Harris from Grand Blanc, MiI love the remake by Pseudo Echo better than Lipps inc.Robert from Zanesville, OhLoved this song appearing briefly in "History Of the World Part One".Stormy from Kokomo, InEverytime that I hear this song, I think of a great dance bar in Indianapolis, Indiana called "Rico's" (since torn down) where my girlfriend Diane Wilson and I used to go dance on the weekends in the 80's! I should have married that girl!.Jennifer Harris from Grand Blanc, MiI like Psudo Echo's version better.He typically stuck to classical music but earned the nickname "Mister Funkytown" because of this recording. recording of "Funkytown." I never knew this about him until I read his obituary when he passed away in 2007.

Drew from Birmingham, AlWell Johnny, not just "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream, but what about the opening to "Jet Airliner" by the Steve Miller Band? Maybe even the opening to "Get Ready" by the Temptations.If you love disco celebrate it! But generally mid 60s to Mid 70s is "classic rock". So please don't refer to disco as classic rock. But much later will generally be referred to as rock of the particular decade, or disco, techno, rap, etc. Occasionally singers and bands that continue that are true to their original style and the style the "British Invasion" brought us, will still fall in that category even if some of their songs are a little later.
"Classic rock" is between those time frames. Cathy from Palmdale, CaTo the comment on classic rock: The official era of "classic rock" does not include sock hop or disco.

Tango from SantiagoThis song also appears during a funny scene in the Spanish comedy movie "Muertos de Risa" by Alex De La Iglesia.Ej from Twin CitiesSteve is also the uncle of record producer John "Strawberry" Fields.Brenda A Archer from New Zealand I love this song.Sleepybrown from Los AngelesThere's like 7 or 8 videos to this song with most of them having these weird looking white women dancing the robot singing this song with not a trace of Cynthia Johnson anywhere in the vids, what gives? Were they pulling a Milli Vanilli, it's not like Cynthia was a two tons of fun Martha Wash, Cynthia wasn't hard on the eyes, so why the deception? Why wasn't she in all of the videos? Bizarre.Did she ever get someone to take her to Funkytown? Bad Squirrel from Everywhere I Want To Be.Yeet Feet from PittsburghAm i gonna be the only one who mentions the cartel video.Johnson's slinky, sexy vocals drive it home to "Funkytown." But those technique work to the song's advantage by giving the instruments a very clean sound (i.e., sax, guitar and violins) and impeccable timing. It's really the sequencing techniques in recording that give the song a sterile, auto-pilot feel. Actually it appears only the synths themselves, and possibly drum machines, were of the non-conventional type instruments. Armin from Dallas/fort WorthI always suspected this song was concocted by studio wizardry, to the extent that I thought practically all the instruments were synthesized.
