"Funkytown" is a song made by the disco band Lipps Inc. The song expresses the pinings for a metaphorical place that keeps "me movin', keeps me groovin' with some energy" and is considered to be one of the last hit songs of the disco era, as by the spring of 1980 disco's popularity was fading. It was a number-one hit in many countries. It is considered the point at which disco hinted at the future of dance music/electronica.
