That "Funky Place" feels so good! Horns and vocals work together with a banging rhythm section to create a well sculpted song that you will dance to. It will make you bob your head if your sitting in your seat and have you singing the chorus for days.
lyrics
Alright.
Woo Woo, here we go!
When I think about, baby,
The things we do at night;
Makes me remember, baby,
How we fit just right.
The way you move that body
Like you don't have a care;
I hope we get started
And Imma take you there,
Let me meet you there
In the Funky Place
You know it's the right space.
It's the only place
Where you get no disgrace.
Lookit here.
Now everybody's talkin'
'Bout that place that we been.
And I hope you will meet me, baby
So we can do it again.
Again until the end.
In the Funky Place.
You know it's the right space.
It's the only place
Where you get no disgrace.
Hey!
If you want to do it
You know there ain't nothin' to it
But to do it.
(You just gotta do it, gotta do it. Hey!)
If you want to do it
You know there ain't nothin' to it
But to do it.
We can work it out, babe.
Hey!
Come on.
Horns!
Dig.
Now, if you can't get with it, baby,
Just try try again.
I can guarantee, baby
You sure 'nough gonna win
Put your body in
To the Funky Place
Know it's the right space.
It's the only place
Where you get no disgrace.
If you want to do it
You know there ain't nothin' to it
But to do it.
(Just gotta do it, gotta do it. Hey!)
If you want to do it
You know there ain't nothin' to it
But to do it.
(Do it, do it, do it. Do it, do it, do.)
If you want to do it
You know there ain't nothin' to it
But to do it.
(Doin' it, doin' it, keep doin' it. Doin' it, doin' it, keep doin' it. Hey!)
If you want to do it
You know there ain't nothin' to it
But to do it.
Hey!
We can work it out, baby.
Ugh.
We can do it.

It is time to change your conception of Seattle based music. For over a decade, a new style of music has been growing and evolving in the clubs of this famous West Coast city. Marmalade embodies this new music we call Groove.
Stunning, ragged-edged funk and soul—if you didn’t know this was new, it could be easily mistaken for a rarities comp from the late ’60s. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 20, 2017
Kutiman teams with Melike Şahin for a track that cross-wires laid-back funk with Middle Eastern pop to delirious effect. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2019
