  • Funkytown est une chanson disco-funk du groupe Lipps Inc, écrite par Steven Greenberg et sortie en janvier 1980. Single extrait de leur premier album (Mouth to Mouth), il s'agit du principal succès du groupe, parvenu en tête des hit-parades internationaux et certifié disque de platine (plus de deux millions de singles vendus). Les paroles, chantées par Cynthia Johnson, évoquent une ville imaginaire nommée Funkytown, où elle aimerait se rendre, qui lui confèrerait une sorte d'énergie pour bouger et danser continuellement. Cette chanson est généralement considérée comme l'un des grands classiques de la musique disco. Elle a fait l'objet de nombreuses reprises (dont une par le groupe australien Pseudo Echo qui fut à nouveau un succès), et est utilisée dans plusieurs films, jeux vidéo ou clips publicitaires.
