No, I will not take you down to Funkytown.

[Bucky]

Oh great, and now that annoying song is stuck in your head.

[datasuspect]

1. if i was ever to return to funkytown

i would want you to accompany me.

[BurtWorm]

2. That song is one of my guilty pleasures.

[Orsino]

3. You'd think by now they'd stop the incessant demands.

That's big money for you. I think Lipps sold out the moment they incorporated.

[Midlodemocrat]

4. How about Electric Avenue?

7. Only if we can take it higher

nt

[Bucky]

12. I won't take you there, either. You'll just have to walk down there.

Once you get there, I'm sure you'll find out that you need to take it some place higher, instead.

[Strong Atheist]

5. You think that's annoying?

Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall...

6. And the #1 Hit on the Major Suckage Charts is ... (wait for it) ...

"Fly, Robin, Fly"

Fly, robin fly
Fly, robin fly
Fly, robin fly
Up, up to the sky
Fly, robin fly
Fly, robin fly
Fly, robin fly Up, up to the sky



Fly, robin fly
Fly, robin fly
Fly, robin fly
Up, up to the sky



a 1975 song by the German group Silver Convention. "Fly, Robin, Fly" carries the distinction of being a Billboard chart-topper with one of the fewest numbers of unique words: six. The chorus simply repeats "Fly, robin, fly" three times, with an ending of "Up, up to the sky!" This was because the band had trouble learning English, and they didn't want to have to learn an entire song to sing.

8. i don't think so

-excellent bass track
-synth washes

[Fran Kubelik]

14. I'm not a musician so

the things you're referring to:

-excellent bass track
-synth washes
-disco violins

don't mean much to me. They play "Fly, Robin, Fly" almost every day here in the common areas and lavatories where I work. I would say that the instrumental is nice ... but the lyrics suck. Why not keep it as just an instrumental piece?

21. It's a German group. Of course the lyrics are gonna suck.

The entire catalog of The Scorpions and Michael Schenker Group have proven that.

23. these guys are german

27. Kraftwerk ain't known for their lyrics

Cool music, yes, but nobody buys their records for the literary value.

[PeaceNikki]

16. Taste.

That poster has nun.

[chemenger]

20. AAAWWWW!

:cry:

You hurt my feelings. You're not a very nice person. I do so have good taste. I post on DU afterall.



AND "FLY, ROBIN, FLY" still sucks.

[PeaceNikki]

22. I refer you to the image in my signature line.

9. My least favorite song to ever come out of Minneapolis

Although Funkytown Studios (the studio the guy who wrote/produced the song built with the proceeds from said song) is actually quite nice.

[KamaAina]

13. But I've got to make a move to a town that's right for me!

:(

[Arugula Latte]

15. Yeah, but you talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it

:cry:

[KG]

17. in my city, they tore Funkytown down, and put up overpriced condos

:(

[Dogtown]
