"Funkytown" by Lipps, Inc. hits #1 1980



Funkytown, a single released by Lipps Inc., reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 May 31, 1980 and stayed there for four weeks.  It held a record for reaching the #1 spot in 28 countries, until Madonna's Hung Up reached #1 in 41 countries in 2005.

It was the first single from their debut album Mouth to Mouth and was certified double-platinum.

Gotta love the total campiness of this video.  (This isn't Lipps Inc. performing)
