Let's Funk Tonight
Blue Feather Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's walking through the city
And sees the neon lights
See so many people
Having a good time
And feeling alright

Let's funk tonight
To where you're feeling alright
You're alone and call me(?) don't give up tonight
Let's funk tonight
To where you're feeling alright
Difficult situation don't give up the fight

She don't know how to dance
Don't give it up (don't give it up, baby)
She don't know how to dance
Don't give it up (don't give it up, baby)

She's walking through the dancefloor
And sees the people dance
Many boys' hanging around her
Looking for a new romance (and askin' love)

Let's funk tonight
To where you're feeling alright
You're alone and call me(?) don't give up tonight
Let's funk tonight
To where you're feeling alright
Difficult situation don't give up the fight

She don't know how to dance
Don't give it up (don't give it up, baby)
She don't know how to dance
Don't give it up (don't give it up, baby)
Just do the funk, just do the funk
Just do the fair funk...

Let's funk tonight
To where you're feeling alright
You're alone and call me(?) don't give up tonight
Let's funk tonight
To where you're feeling alright
Difficult situation don't give up the fight

Now she knows how to dance
She feels alright (she feels alright)
Now she knows how to dance
She feels alright (she feels alright)





Dancin', dancin', dancin' in the city...

Back in the days I listened to this fantastic funk masterpiece. It played on a local radio station based in Maasmechelen / Belgium area. I still love to listen to it over and over again in the car driving to and from work. Perfectly arranged, timeless funk and definitely one of the most underrated Dutch funk bands.. Also many other songs from this band are a joy to one's soul.

J'avais un peu perdu ce morceau depuis sa sortie en 1981 ou il le passait en boucle(parmi d'autres) sur NRJ et consorts! Ça fait plaisir de réentendre ces longues balades musicales, maintenant qu'elle ne sont plus diffusées du tout. C'est de la bonne zic de boîte comme on en fait plus, en effet.

@albertosoto2937

Que no muera nunca el funky la mejor musica de todos los tiempos

@somaliagullette3230

It's amazing how much groovy stuff came out the year I was born! 1981 was a magical year!
