Lipps Inc. was a studio band that achieved one significant hit, "Funkytown" in 1979.
The group was formed in Minneapolis by Steven Greenberg, who wrote and produced all of the group's music, and who also played several musical instruments. The lead singer and saxophonist was Cynthia Johnson, and the rest of the group consisted of a changing group of session musicians, including guitarist David Rivkin.

They achieved some popularity during the late 1970s. The group released their debut album Mouth to Mouth in early 1979 (although original pressings of the album actually have 1979 or 1980 listed as the copyright date). Their hit from this album, "Funkytown" spent four weeks at Number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in the United States and was awarded a platinum record. It reached number two in the United Kingdom and was a hit throughout the world.

  • lipps inc or lip sync? :P

  • yeah.............. im not sleeping tonight

  • Seems like the two girls on the side forgot the upper half of their baggy costumes - ones with a dog face, floppy ears, and big snout.

  • The Dutch Doris D and the Pins

  • @SoCcEr101Bro seu cu

  • GAY...GAY...GAY

    

  • I don't even smoke pot, however, after watching this, I feel high as hell!

  • I remember hearing this tune in a sparcely-attended large jewelry shop in a scorchingly hot strange summer morning in Fresno, California. It was so hot and the sun so blazing that scarcely any people or cars were outside on the street. I dunno, I somehow got scared... Ever since, I always get a little scared when I hear this song.

  • wow 

  • Er, the name of the group is LIPPS INC, as in "lip sync". They were a studio band that had other performers lip syncing their songs. The lead singer Cynthia Johnson, who was Miss Black Minnesota, must've not had a problem with the singers chosen, so why should we?
