1. a 1980 number one hit for the R&B/funk/post-discogroup
Lipps,Inc. (pronounced "lip
synch" - yes, that's how U say it). They were basically a one hit wonder.
2. a Top 10 hit in 1987 for the Australian New Wave group
Pseudo Echo. It has a harder-edged sound than the original seven years before. A genuine butt
kicker. Pseudo Echo also scored a hit with their own "Living in a Dream" earlier in 1987.
3. because of their playing the Pseudo Echo hit, San Francisco radio stations gave the nickname "Funky Town" to their city itself.

Peking duck at the Golden Dragon restaurant.
Phil: Alright!
