Flash Single Review: Funky Dance - Mr Super Dude and Kinderchartin'


"Funky Dance" is the latest release from Mr Super Dude and Kinderchartin'. Guaranteed to have everyone up and moving, the song provides an interesting blend of pop, hip-hop and funk with an explosion of sound that immediately grabs your attention.

The overall vibe reminded me a little of Talking Heads, with perhaps a modicum of assistance from Run DMC on the way.  The lyrics are largely descriptive, where a series of actions are described and 'a hop and a skip and a roll' are seemingly the order of the day.

The rhythm section is highly percussive, creating the required space for a penetrating brass section to swoop in and out of the track adding additional texture. The dynamics are highly effective with the music gradually building in intensity, as we are all invited to 'do the funky dance'.  

A highly innovative piece of music, that will have you up and on your feet dancing in no time at all. If you put Talking Heads, Run DMC and perhaps the Wiggles in a studio, you could possibly come up with something like this. Original, uplifting and inspirational, these guys clearly have their fingers on the pulse and their eyes on the prize. 

Mr Super Dude and Kinderchartin' - a musical explosion.
