Тексты песен Lipps Inc.
Информация о артисте
Lipps, Inc. (произносится как “lip sync” «лип синк») была студийной группой , которая записала один значимый хит «Funkytown» в 1979-ом году.
Группа была сформированна Стивеном Гринбергом ( Steven Greenberg ) в Минниаполисе, который записал и продюссировал всю музыку группы, а также играл на нескольких инструментах. Вокалисткой была Синтия Джонсан ( Cynthia Johnson ), а остальную часть группы составляли меняющиеся сессионные музыканты.
Они достигли некоторой популярности в период диско эры в конце 70-ых но только благодаря одному хиту. “Funkytown” пробыл на первом месте как в Hot 100, так и в Hot Dance Music/Club Play чартах в США в течении четырёх недель и стал платиновым. Достиг 2-ого места в Англии и стал хитом по всему миру. Их последующие синглы не достигли подобного успеха ( единственная запись “Rock It” смогла попасть в Hot 100 и достичь 64-ое место), однако они записали несколько танцевальных хитов в 80-ых, включая запись “How Long” в 1981-ом году, которая достигла 4-ое место в танцевальных чартах США. Группа перестала записываться в середине 80-ых.
Рок-версия “Funkytown” была записана австралийской группой Pseudo Echo в 1987-ом году и вошла в их альбом Love An Adventure и достигла вершины австралийских чартов.
“Funkytown” стала одним из саундтрэков в фильме Shrek 2.
Песня “Funkytown” получила повторное признание благодаря миксу Soulwax в трэке NY Excuse, появившемся на их ремиксовом альбоме Nite Versions. Трэк был назван NY Lipps.

Lipps, Inc. (pronounced like "lip sync") was a studio pop/rnb band formed in 1979 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The group is best known for their second hit single "Funkytown" (often alternatively labeled as "Funky Town") in 1980.
The group's lead-singer was Cynthia Johnson, and the rest of the group consisted of a changing group of session musicians. One of them was guitarist David Rivkin AKA David Z. who later on produced, mixed and wrote for many others and worked closely with Prince. Steven Greenberg wrote and produced most of the group's music.
Lipps, Inc. achieved popularity during the end of the disco era at the late 1970s and early 1980s and had one major international pop hit. "Funkytown" spent four weeks at number one on both the Hot 100 and on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts in the United States and was awarded a platinum record soon after its release. It reached number two in the United Kingdom and not only was a hit throughout the world back then, but also continuous to play an important role in today´s pop-culture (used in several movies, TV series, commercials, etc.).
Further singles failed to match their initial success (their only other Hot 100 entry was their debut single "Rock It", which peaked at #64 in 1979), however they had more dance club hits throughout the 1980s, including the Ace cover How Long in 1981, which reached #4 on the U.S. dance chart.
The group ceased recording after the album "4" in (1985), by then lead-singer Cynthia Johnson had already left the group and had been replaced by another singer that however couldn´t replace Johnson´s unmistakable lead vocals.
A rock version of "Funkytown" was covered by the Australia group Pseudo Echo in 1987 on their album Love An Adventure and reached the top of the charts there. "Funkytown" is one of the songs of the Shrek 2 movie soundtrack. The song "Funkytown" has had popular recognition again recently due to a mash-up of it with Soulwax's dance track NY Excuse appearing on the Soulwax remix album Nite Versions. The track is titled NY Lipps.
