Cant believe this came out in 1986, I remember being a kid and being stopped in my tracks when first heard this song and I instantly loved the band. This was at the start of my now decades of learning the guitar and for me this song was a massive undertaking for me as a kid. It set me on a road that had me discovering Yngwie, Gary Moore, Vai etc and into professional music work and much of it was started by this (cover) songs influence alone.

The ultimate 80s boy band, Pseudo Echo out of Australia. This remake of Lipps Inc Funkytown ranked in the top ten on Billboard where it remained in various categories for nearly one year. *It was released late October 1986. It was the highest selling dance single of 1987. So popular was the tune that it virtually debuted in the top ten globally. It is widely considered to be vastly better than the original, an opinion I hold as well. Anthony Argiro was the original bands drummer. He was later replaced with Vince Leigh, brother of the lead singer. Vince performs with the band in this video. Labeled the "ultimate 80s dude" Vince gained celebrity status in his own right from fans and followers of this extraordinary band. My opinion, the boy was HOT as all get out, and when it comes to percussion few are better, none can compare to his rhythm. "One adept percussionist" Drummers are universally intensely high energy fellas which is why I find them so attractive and completely irresistible. Vince left the band in 2007 and was replaced with Cameron Smith (drummer) In 2020 the band released their 6th and 7th LPs. In May of this year Pseudo Echo released their 6th LP titled Acoustica. In September they released their 7th LP titled After Party. *Stats; according to an independent record industry media site.

I loved seeing these guys live. Always a killer set. They always did an extended outro to this song, was brilliant. Autumnal Park is one of my favourite albums from the 80's.

This is the best song ever, by far! The best cover of a song. My dad showed this to me, definitely one of my favorite songs ever!

That instrument which is like a cross between a keyboards and a guitar is so 80s.

@@batfleckforever3594 The word "keytar" is actually a recent term, like "yacht rock." Believe it or not, nobody called it a "keytar" back in the '80s. They were called "remote controllers" or "remote keyboards" or "strap-on controllers." One company came out with a controller with the brand name "Keytar" (which actually wasn't a big seller compared to its competition models) but no one was able to use it because it was trademarked.

It's a keytar. It's same as any old keyboard, but worn like a guitar. Keytar was ( like Kleenex) a brand name, so remote synth, portable synth, shoulder synth, strap synth were a few of the names I'd heard flying around at the time. Moog synth had one as far back as the 70's called the Liberator I believe...

There are rare times when a remake is even better than the original; this is one of those times! 70s classics revamped for a new decade! 🎸

Lipps Inc.'s original classic is from the 80s, too. Peaked in the summer of 1980.

Well, the original is a annoying gimmicky bit of disco fluff, it's lucky it got the rework, it doesn't deserve it. Least this proves the song's not a total duffer, but only cos the way they did it. Still prefer an original song they did like 'Listening', that's a classic the silly original of this song can't hope to compete with.
