1975년에 미국에서 데뷔한 디스코 밴드로 지금은 한물 가버린 느낌의 댄스곡이지만 나름 인기가 많았던 노래다. 이 노래가 한국인에게 인기를 얻게 된 것은 과거 인텔 펜티엄 프로세서의 CF와 영화 에볼루션을 통해서였다. 갑자기 펜티엄 프로세서라고 하니 컴퓨터계의 애니악을 만난것 같은데 당시에는 펜티엄이라는 단어만 붙어도 무척 좋은 PC의 대명사였다.

 

딱 두장의 앨범을 내고 해산한 밴드다. 그래도 이곡은 빌보트 차트에서 18주간이나 올라가 있었다. 백인들이 하는 펑키뮤직이 어떤 것인지 궁금한 사람들은 한번 들어보아도 좋다. 일반 사람들보다는 음악 하는 사람들에게 훨씬..잘 알려진 곡이다.

 

 

 

Hey... do it now... yeah hey
Yeah, once I was a boogie singer…playin' in a rock & roll band
I never had no problems, yeah... burnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me, yeah... got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly (yes, I did)... to disco down and check out the show
Yeah, they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die…
(hey,hey) till you die... yeah, yeah
Well, I tried to understand this…Yeah, huh, I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish, (How could I)... tonight's the hours, the one behind
So still I kept on fightin'…Wow, loosin' every step of the way (Yeah, what'd you do?)
I said, "I must go back there"(Got to go back)... and check to see if things still the same
Yeah, they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die…
Till you die... (Yeah) Wow, till you die
(Come on... Play some electrified funky music)
(Hey, wait a minute) Now first it wasn't easy…changin' rock & roll and minds
And things were getting shaky... I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now its so much better (It's so much better)... I'm funkin out in ev-er-y way
But-I'll never lose that feelin' (No I won't)... Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die...
Till you die... oh, till you die

(They shouted, Play that funky music) Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Got to keep on…Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Pl--AY that funky music
(Play that funky music) Wanna take ya higha now…
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
