I was too young to go to parties when this classic came out that summer, but it sure had us spying on those nasty older teenagers slow dancing to it, during those late night back yard cutouts, that our next-door neighbors use to throw every other weekend...lol. A lot of girls sure got pregnant that summer

DC's own.

Are you in your 60’s?

Since the title was "Funky Beat", I thought it was funk . I don't know how familiar you are with DC, but our summer time spot was Hains Point during this time. This park extended into the Potomac River. This song reminds of one late Friday evening, when me and a buddy of mine, who was carrying his giant boombox, wound up face to face with these two cute sisters, while walking on the sidewalk, which have a rail on the right side, that separate everybody from the river. "Funky Beat" had just started playing when we approached theses two sisters, and we just started jamming with them. I had the cuter girl...lol. After the song, we chatted for about 15 minutes, and I got her number, and my buddy got her girlfriends number.

Unfortunately, this girl never answered her phone. Maybe it was because she was three years older than me, and I was driving a Yugo, and I was just starting my low paid security guard job...but at least it was in the government. Or maybe she didn't really like the way we met. But nine times outta ten, she probably already had somebody. Yeah, I was disappointed, but I met another girl later that month, and she became my girlfriend. This was how I rolled back in the day.

But I'll never forget "Funky Beat", and how that song packed the dance floor that summer. This was when we had a spring and a summer.
