Play that Funky music white boy :

Hey...do it now

once I was a boogie singer...playin' in a rock & roll band
I never had no problems, yeah...burnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me, got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly [yes, I did]...to disco down and check out the show

Yeah, 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...

Well, I tried to understand this...Yeah, huh, I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish, ...tonight's the hours, the one behind
So still I kept on fightin'... loosin' every step of the way (Yeah, what'd you do?)
I said, "I must go back there"[Got to go back]...and check to see if things still the same

Yeah, 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...



Eszter (the singer) Has a very deep and raw, husky voice. She wore different kinds of hats trough the show. That made her a unique contestant.

The song was originally composed by Robert Parissi, singer of the rock band: Wild Cherry. It was sung by different singers too, like: James Brown or Prince.

The artist is Wild Cherry. NOT James Brown.

[maszlagma]

@radmac76 ... and THAT is what I said in the description....

[emanuelsantossousa]

this music isnt original by Wild Cherry??

[maszlagma]

@emanuelsantossousa That is what the title and the description says. I don't know why they have chosen to put James Brown as the original performer in the show. The Judges themselves said afterwards that this is a Wild Cherry song too...

[Kaeleeman]

Wow, can someone really be so ill as to post a racial epitath and make reference to her physical features? And they say mankind is evolving~!

Not sure she meant to change up the vocal melody like that or she was just not familiar with it. In any case, I thought she sang very well.
