KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Won't you take me to Funkytown
The opening lines of KIDZ BOP Kids' Funkytown song are a clear representation of someone who is looking for change in their life. The person wants to make a move to a town that is right for them. They desire a place that will keep them moving and grooving with energy. The emphasis on talk shows that the person has been thinking about this move a lot and has probably been vocalizing their intentions to others. However, the person ultimately makes it clear that they need to move on to a new environment in order to achieve their desires.
The chorus of the song then follows, turning the focus to Funkytown. The singer expresses their desire for someone to take them to Funkytown. This statement is metaphorical and can be interpreted to mean that the person is looking for a place that will bring them joy and happiness. The town represents a place where they can be themselves and enjoy life to the fullest. The overall message of the song is one of courage and determination to find a place where one truly belongs.
