Filed under: digital audio hacks Inspired by [James Houston]'s remix of Radiohead's Nude on obsolete hardware , [bd594] put together this mix of Lipps Inc.'s Funkytown . No sampling was used, but he had to loop the footage of the Avaya dot matrix printer's drum part because it shook the table too much. The guitar and bass line are performed by a Commodore 64 . An Intel 14.4 external modem uses DTMF...
So last night, we popped into Ye Fatte Poofes' Armes for karaoke night. We ended up leaving early because poor HL wasn't feeling too great but we were there long enough to see someone opt to do "Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. Now, this is about a 5 minute track and the words are: - Gotta make a move to a Town that's right for me Town to keep me movin' Keep me groovin' with some energy Well, I talk about...
Duke Jr.'s belly is still a little "funky". Maybe some rollerskating disco will help... Lipps, Inc. ∞ Funkytown Zen For Primates ∞ Funkytown Which version do you prefer? or did I leave about your favorite? Leave a hullabaloo. More: Compare & Contrast-s
So, when everyone is a toddler, they have a song they're obsessed with and need to hear again and again and again. It's a phase. When I was little, the song I made my parents play over and over was Funkytown by Lipps, Inc. Which explains a lot, I think. When my sister was little, her song of choice was the Howard the Duck movie theme song. I shit you not. Proof of Abbie's superior wonderfulness? The...
Yes, it's true, as JB mentioned Tuesday, I have been a little busy over the last couple of days because a certain quarterback decided to retire. Though I watched him practice a few times, watched him play hundreds of times and typed his name thousands of times, I never met Brett Favre. But I long ago [...]

I have had one of the most unproductive days ever, and I am blaming it on Lipps Inc. I have not been able to shake 'Funkytown' from worming around my brain ALL DAY. I have tried everything. It is, I suppose, ultimately the fault of 'Futurama', specifically the scene where Morbo , the news monster, is in a karaoke bar singing aforementioned musical nugget. I cannot write a decent abstract under such...
After toppling Alicia Keys' "No One" from the top spot last week, Flo Rida's "Low" remains No. 1 this week on the Billboard Hot 100. The track's 470,000 digital sales sets a single-week record, easily trumping the former title-holder, Fergie's "Fergalicious" at 294,000.
But irresistible. I found the toytown synth and nagging hook line of Lipps Inc's "Funkytown", which I've not heard for 25 years, at the top of my consciousness a couple of nights back. The kids are singing it now. The great glory of youtube is that pretty much anything from the last 30 years is there. Alas it gets barer as you go back - not much Conchita Supervia or Rutland Boughton about. The next...
