Review about Lipps Inc. Funkyworld: The Best of Lipps Inc. | Reviewer: Brian
------ About the song Funkytown performed by Lipps Inc.
The #1 song on this album would have to be "Funkytown". If you have the chance to listen to it make sure you listen to the ORIGINAL version which is 7:38. Still #1 since 1980
Both of the the lyric lines, "While you think you’re able" are actually, "Buy it if you're able"
I was a mobile D.J. from the 70's through the 80's
Thank you for your upload.
