Pseudo Echo - Funky Town

[AJRiddock]

A cover version that sound better than the orginal!!!

[ChrisDSingh87]

ya wanna get high?

[XxboboXx89]

first heard this song on the radio, Nek Minute, DIScO PARTY TIME!!

[WPTSUKS]

when i was a kid i did not sing "funky" thought it was another term :-)

[pepperoniqueen]

Still love this song!!

[stevecav1138]

I haven't felt this way about a song since Funky Town!

[junkyturd]

OMFG I forgot all about this!! I used to think the video was badass when i was kid, now it seems so cheesy. Oh well, still great cover song!

[ZingsVideos]

Funky Town is overated. I lived there for 5 years until undesirables started moving in and the property values crashed. I had to sell my house at a loss. It was nice at one time though. Sad.

[VerticalSandwich]

@ZingsVideos that's the way it works, some place is awesome, and then everybody hears about it and they move there and change it. Same thing happened to Austin, TX.

[sonikbraah]

78 people arent funky enuff, but lol at the keytarist being so enthusiastic 0:36-0:40

[ardrose898]

Did anyone else notice that he flipped us off at 3:30 ...?

[Hachikito]

Que cancion tan Genial

[frozen4N20]

78 people are deaf

[sonikbraah]

that bloke on the keytar is nuts.

[XxboboXx89]

Me like

[edison668]

Super song

[ehelibuff73]

I can't believe the instruments put out so much for NOT being plugged in. My guitar doesn't do that.

[PepalaPow23]

@ehelibuff73 Time to get better instruments then :p

[Dectheboner]

Bullshit

[adrmonteiro]

Eighties!! Eighties!!!

[theonlymoo5e]

Hit #1 on the Australian pop chart for 7 weeks in Dec 1986

[TheWeeman37]

First record i ever bought. Loved the guitar rift at the begining.

[laurel614]

They were good in concert.Australia in the early 80's.:)

[marr1977]

Shoestring budget video, looks like the guys were having fun though

[DoctaCheese]

[asatanseesnatasa]

This has got to be one of my favorites. I can't get enough of these guys. Aussie bands are the best. " Won't you take me down, to funky town?!?!"

[sandy1980ification]

[superflea72]

cool solo in this (in fact the whole tune was full of great guitar work)....it was one of the earliest things that made me want to play

[kojakbangbang7]

KEY TAR

[cire3000]

Jajajajaja, ¿alguien más se metió este video nada más porque acaba de ver el episodio de South Park donde aparece Toallín haciendo este tonito cagón? Jajajajaja.

[Dionysabel]

[rvbn1969]

[skyrocketgenius]

Kereoke this one is easy as easy gets

[iaokinman]

[mantittyful]

[centralparocker]

Yeah, I'd go to Funky Town...NOW

[NDesum]

this should be the best version!

[camilo95leon]

Reggaeton cristiano jajaja perreando por Cristo

[azjustaz]

Awesome! I had the incredible pleasure of SCUBA diving with lead singer Brian after Pseudo Echo's recent gig on Fitzroy Island, with Fitzroy Island Dive Centre and CDC Cairns. The nicest guy and a great dive buddy! You rock, - Az

[christian0pareja0rua]

esta es la versión original??

[davyjones2001]

@christian0pareja0rua no, es un cover, la original es de Lipps Inc.

[selkez1]

66 people thought that the "dislike" button said "dis i like"

[katesatriani]

@selkez1

Very funny! Clever comment- seriously!!

[Robsta1974]

\o/\o/\o/\o/\o/



[Shariukasz]

66 people tried to volume up, but accidentally hit the thumbs down ....

[clement583]

genius new twist of a classick



[kikenecro666]

ke version mas genial... el teclado es increible!



[griseidarouss]

ke bien tocan y cantan me encantannn

[chb92782]

I will never get tired of this song, my baby is going to be born to 80's music lol

[TheItalodancers]

Vivan los 80's !!!

[TheCesar340]

Excelente canción.

[markmarshall39]

best remake ive ever heard

[Asmarinox]

The only 'better than the original' song in the world!!!

[neosuna1]

@Asmarinox 4-Real!! Makes me X-cited $ Funkey town!! yea buddy!

[neosuna1]

@neosuna1 I mean makes me X-cited 4 Funkey Town!! (C how I like it) But for sure awesome guitar!! (awesome everything)

[neosuna1]

@Asmarinox Hey this is Awesome no doubt!!! But Social distortion did a cover for Johnny Cashs' Ring of Fire, and its pretty Rockin also!

[maalbe987]

@Asmarinox You've obviously never heard Cake's version of I Will Survive.

[allmale4utube]

@Asmarinox Best version, love this song it never gets old!

[nikkibox]

@Asmarinox On a lot of songs I like the original but this is an exception to that rule.Cool song.

[Crimsonhelldragon]

The original version is a pussy song, but this version rocks, far away better than original. Alternative Rock of 80 is LAW, and not the crap bands of this generation.

[TheCesar340]

definitivamente concuerdo con usted, la música de ahora, en especial el reggaetón es una MIERDA.

[THEee1000]

HOLLY SHIT I JUST GOT MY NEW FAVORITE SONG!

[cdhann]

@THEee1000 sad, but it's been mine since the day it came out

[Julbeaners]

The drummer is a beast!

[Scourgeandmephiles93]

Damn this makes me wanna go to Funky Town.

[1richardframe]

Best version of the song-I love it! Still have this on 45!

[loudenclear10]

the lead is a hottie

[Ornitottero]

I think I like this more than the original :D

[23026170]

@Ornitottero I absolutely agree with you.This is really great!

[jessica23claire]

I wish it was still acceptable for pretty boys to dress like this :( Still, I think this cover is infinite degrees of AWESOME.

[MrBradipofun]

i know Lipps Inc created a cover of this one :D

[headly66]

@MrBradipofun It was LIpps Inc originally.

[MrBradipofun]

@headly66 i know... it's a joke...

[sdmitch16]

Fell in love with this playing Crash Bandicoot 2.

[X1musicx2Princess3X]

The start of this song. <3333333

[bloodshedhero]

orig is still my favorite, but i surprisingly like this. keytar player is dope lmao.

[Pacmau01]

Fuck the cover the original one is better

[antykant2010]

very cool. na prawdę fajne.

[flyingcasablancasons]

Great band, great cover version, and, I don't mean to be shallow because it's really about the music, but I am pretty shallow so: Holy Cats Brian Canham is HOT! (You had good taste fourteen-year-old me. (Patting myself on the back 25 years ago.))

[stenli008]

Girl I am taking you to funky town

[Magzdv]

...back in the day when the 'keytar' was ever so popular...see also Janet Jackson's vid Control...and Bobby Brown's vid My Prerogative.

[petesdad100]

One of the hottest disco songs. Have no idea what Funky town was suppose to be but loved it! Maybe a acid high, who knows?

[reubencameron]

3:31 he gives us the finger

[MsLou001]

This was my first concert, when I was 13. I still love this band today. James was SOOOOOO hot. (The guy on the electric keyboard)

[iwillexplode999]

thank you so much i LOVED pseudo echo in the 80s LOVE LOVE LOVE soooooo groovy lost the cassette moving in the 90s...its been so long xoxoxo merc... dude on the 6 string is kickin it...never noticed when i was 13 years old...!

[dragondancer1814]

This group is definitely an example of instances where the remake is truly better than the original. This song TOTALLY KICKS ASS!!!!

[MrSkullblue2]

Only time a keytar is cool...in FUNKY TOWN!!!

[Damecos]

@MrSkullblue2 Keytars are always cool.

Paul Hardcastle and Les Rythmes Digitales use them.

[MrSkullblue2]

@Damecos Nawh Only in FUNKYTOWN DUH!

[waarde2]

Get flipped of at 3:30

[sirtrygve75]

when you type in ''funky town'' the melody same 0:59

[eric44267]

better than any pop music out today. fo sho.

[msbentbrook]

gotta love the hair... bet they thought they were cool

[headly66]

@msbentbrook Bet you think you're cool now.

[msbentbrook]

gotta love the hair

[chajin91]

Funky!!!

[XpiteXify]

Now we talking!!!

Hell YEAH!!!

[Yerflua]

Arghnonono don't do that to your guitar strings, the poor old Fender Strat wasn't built to be that cool

[dreamchaser01]

I've been searching for YEARS for an animated video of this song! All I can clearly remember are the beginning words and that it was a space ship or something flying around. I had it on video ages ago and have been trying to find it since my video collection was tossed.

[OmegaLara685]

Grab the audio from this song at speedyconversion doht cohm.

[akiraminou]

u should see my brother..he still looks like one of them LOL

[sedawesome]

lol



[baskok1122]

does anyone remember watching "North Shore" with Matt Adler and Pseudo Echo had done practically the whole soundtrack? This was one of the songs... ah, memories!

[Maryanne4271]

@MssPepper Me too!!! This band is still really Awsome

[petrus4]

Better than Lipps Inc's interpretation.

[SimmonsDrums]

Simmons sds 7 pad :-)

[dianaelizabeth11]

This song is SO frickin GOOD!

[TheWowowo]

Cookoos nest...any body?? What days they were.

[DavidPintoFaria]

@MssPepper agree 100%

[kulasa184]

dying for them...very incredible performance.....

[jonfletcher147]

@MssPepper Agreed ;) 

[RockabillyAnt]

@MssPepper It's not often somebody can say that, but this is one of those cases that it can be said .. :)

[RobEJC]

Despite him pimping for the Bankees, I dig the song and video!

[SimsMovieCreater]

Good 80's or 90's music.

[weirdscience85]

@SimsMovieCreater 80s, 1986, I like this cover too

[TheSpacefanric]

This went to no.6 or something on the US charts ! i've got the 12inch hits cd to this band, whenever a party needs to fire up a slice of 12 inch pseudo echo always does the trick. loved my teen years in the 80's, what a blast !

[Ultimatem26]

enough with the ads by google already gee whiz

[nednebad]

Won´t You take me to..... a FUNKIE TOWN ?

[sevenbegore]

Best part of this song is that blast of keytar at 0:16. Was there something like that in another 80's song? It seems like I've heard it somewhere else.

[LASTINLIVE]

Thanks for sending Andy - Yeh the chipmunks did do this lol.

[14armandito]

biem marihuano con esa cancion me exitan

[weirdscience85]

This reminds me of the late 80s when I was very very little

[pamelamb1962]

the singer is hot

[RockArriba]

@pamelamb1962 jaja



[MrMustangcharles]

toweliie says he cant get high to this.

[FuturisticPwnage]

i LOVE NEW WAVE!!! ALways

[chefy64]

this is the best junk! You know it

[magicman75100]

the drummer's freakin. awesome!

[bigtopbollocks]

Great song. I just did not know that jason donovan of neighbours 1980s fame had a double act on drums for pseudo echo. lol.

[stranget92]

Live is even much better:

watch?v=RVteIOMT8wo

[boganmatslash]

I'm sure that the singer flips off the camera at one stage in this video...

[Tsukasamacleod]

Fuck todd in the shadows! This song kicks ass!

[dario1234511]

that keytar remembers me megaman x LOL

[TheCatel16]

I agree with Proktor3

[proktor3]

Another track better than oryginal

[RoyalWulffDry]

Pegged pants!!! Hawhawhaw

Use to sport my Guess, Levi's and Bugle Boy's like that back in High School.

[DarthMohammed]

Needs more keytar!!

[RamaKpo1]

un re buen video

[Dakiddrob101]

I like the original lipps inc. Version way better

[montyscooter1965]

@Dakiddrob101 you must be a gay, tone deaf or both!!!

[cmtecampos2]

NORTH SHOREEEE!

[randman21]

Hmmm. Apparently, I thought Lipps Inc. and Pseudo Echo were the same band, but just went by different names. Thus, I never heard this version, ever, although I'd always heard the name Pseudo Echo. It's awesome!

[wolkzz]

i love loooks !!

played this every damn day back in the summer of '87.....15 and full of fun times every weekend with the radio
