"Fantastic Voyage" is a funk song by the American band Lakeside. It was released in 1980 as the lead single from their album of the same name. The song was a major hit, reaching number one on the R&B charts and crossing over to the pop charts, where it peaked at number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Fantastic Voyage" is known for its infectious groove, catchy melody, and memorable lyrics that celebrate escapism and having a good time. The song's title and lyrics evoke the idea of embarking on an exciting journey or adventure, which is reflected in its upbeat and danceable rhythm.
The song has since become a classic of the funk genre and is frequently played on oldies radio stations and at retro-themed parties. Its distinctive bassline and funky instrumentation have also made it a popular sample in hip-hop music, with artists like Coolio famously using it as the basis for his hit song "Fantastic Voyage" in 1994.

Lakeside has a great sound.... like so many R&B bands of that era... Parliament, EW&F, KC and the Sunshine Band just to name a few. Great music 🎶 🎵🎶...

I totally remember when this came out, I was in middle school. So much great music at the time. Totally iconic song, still great today.

[@TheMikeman1971]

Oh i remember this song ! Have you guys done any Bobby Womack ? Across 110th street is such a great story and singer ! I did not look thru your archives !

[@tonybarwick5248]

This was played at all my high school dances ! Great Times thank y’all !!!!!

[@karenfryberger4260]

This was GREAT - right from the source. You guys might want to check out "Prince Live - Play that funky Music - Hollywood Swinging - Fantastic Voyage 4/28/11". It's a 13-minute medley that was a third encore after a 3-hr concert, I believe. It is FUNKY, 'cause "when it comes to funk..(Prince was) a junkie." It's truly incredible. I really hope you'll consider a reaction to it. Love your channel - ❤

[@bossfan49]

Open a window and let some the STANK OUT! Gettin funky in here! 🦾

[@CarolynWilliams-gr1pf]

❤Lakeside❤....I Wanna Hold Your Hand....Say Yes....Real Love....Something About that Woman...

[@lisag8034]

You just can't go wrong Old Skool. Keep looking for some Isley Brothers! I enjoy all of you so much! If you could be so kind...Isley Brothers, Harvest for the World, Fight the Power, Whose that Lady? I was so excited to see them at MGM a few years ago and could not have been more disappointed. Ronald Isley the only member performing and it was like a mish mash variety show. He still trying to be sexy though...lol.

Missing the best part of the song at the end.
