Emotion : Agony
Artist : Funky Family
Track : Funky Is On
Third Label, 1984
I feel awful today. Too many Amaretto’s and a free bottle of champagne ensures I have a head that feels like it’s in a vice.
When it all gets a bit too much you need to go balls out. You need to stick a belter on and is none better than this slice of Italo perfection.
Genius.

I love the way it chases after Radio Gaga and the chorus is an emotional lift, which, although I havent a clue what she is singing, I feel I can sing along to until the agony becomes ecstasy. thanks for the gift.

I also have no idea what she is singing in the chorus and fear I would be massively disappointed were I ever to find out.

this seems to fall somewhere between the earnest UK synth-pop of Human League, Thompson Twins et al, and the slick US electro-dance of Jam & Lewis, Unique, and Hot Streak – a fantastic 80’s dance track that wouldln”t shame their compatriots Change (just a shame there’s mentions of funk in the band name and track when there’s none in the grooves)…
