Damn Foreigners. Can I Bust?
If you’re going to be singing an American song, please stop mixing your language with mine. A friend and I had a discussion about this. Take this song for instance FUNKY TOWN by Kim Hyun Jung.
There's no way she's speaking real Japanese, Chinese or what the fuck ever. It's like she just took some words at random too fit in with the American version.
Here's the Funky Town lyrics
Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me. Town to keep me movin'. Keep me groovin' with some energy.....Well, I talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about it, Talk about, Talk about, Talk about movin.....Gotta move on...Gotta move on...Gotta move on.....Won't you take me to..Funkytown. Won't you take me to..Funkytown. Won't you take me to..Funkytown. Won't you take me to..Funkytown.
Before hard funksters like Prince and the Time hit the national stage, before groundbreaking alternative rockers Hüsker Dü and the Replacements, Minneapolis was barely a blip on America's musical radar -- that is until Lipps Inc. broke out with one of disco's most monumental singles, the number one smash "Funkytown." The brainchild of producer/songwriter Steven Greenberg, Lipps Inc. (meant to be pronounced as a pun on "lip sync") wound up as one-hit wonders, but that one hit still stands as one of disco's all-time classics; its computerized feel and lean, spare arrangement contrasted sharply with the perceived excesses of most disco music, yet its longing for escape (specifically, from Minneapolis, whose music scene was still in its infancy) fit the spirit of the era perfectly, sending it to the top of the charts for a full month in 1980.

You're an idiot Blackfoot. Stick to shrimping. Clearly you have no taste for culchuh.
