Funky Town was released by American disco group Lipps Inc. in 1980 and became a worldwide hit built around its catchy synthesiser riff and upbeat dance rhythm. Decades later, the track found a second life online, where editors remixed it with heavily boosted bass for memes, edits and short videos. The bass-boosted version keeps the original melody instantly recognisable while adding the exaggerated low-end punch associated with internet remix culture, which is why it still works as a quick, nostalgic hype sound for reveals and dance moments.
