"Funkytown" is a song performed by the funk band Lipps Inc. Released in 1980, the song expresses the singer's pining for a metaphorical place that will "keep me movin', keeps me groovin' with some energy". It reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Dance charts in 1980, also reaching number 1 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and The Netherlands. It reached No. 2 in the UK,Sweden and on the U.S. R&B chart. "Funkytown" is often considered to be one of disco's last stands. It was Lipps Inc's only U.S. Top 40 hit.
In 1995, it was covered by late Tejano singer Selena during her last televised concert before she was brutally murdered by her fan club president. The song was later released on the movie soundtrack.
