Funky Town was one of the few "disco" songs I could stand, I was much more into Rock and Heavy Metal ... I think my favorites of that year were "My Sharona" by the Knack and "Don't Bring Me Down" by ELO.
Yeah I like My Sharonna too and also the Culture Club! YIKES! LIPPS sang Funky Town...
Another one Bites the Dust by Queen was good too!
