Play That Funkie Music
Soundtrack Of My Life

February 26
Play That Funkie Music by Wild Cherry.
I love singing this one. I think I was around 10 when it came out in 1976... don't think they played this at my grandparent's 50th Wedding Anniversary party.... but they probably did.
I often find myself singing the chorus ... why I have no idea... but it may have something to do with 'Funkie'. And this singer's voice is weird.



Lyrics:
Hey do it now yeah hey

Yeah
There was a funky singer
Playin' in a rock & Roll Band
And never had no problems yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly,
Yes I did disco down and check out the show
Yeah they was

Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die

Hey wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' Rock & Roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (it's so much better )
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were
Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die

They shouted play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gotta keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music
