----------
After a 4 year hiatus from releasing new music, the 1980 release of "Feelin' the Groove" was a return to form for Popsie Funk.
With a new look and a new attitude, Popsie fully embraced the fresh 80's sound that was taking over the nation.
Popsie took his traditional funk sound and incorporated heavy use of 80's synthesizer technology to become a pioneer of the "Synthwave" movement.

Lyrics

[@fkg360]

Simon le Bon told me the other day Popsie’s song inspired Duran Duran to write “Girls on film”. But I don’t mind. Sax on film or tv, as long as the table is sturdy and stable.

[@PopsieFunk]

I have heard that rumor in the past, but Simon himself confirmed it? Tremendous! Tell Simon hello for me!
I remember when he was just starting out. He had a deep desire to succeed. In fact, some could say he was... hungry, perhaps?
Hungry like what, now that is a mystery...

[@fkg360]

Hungry for popcorn before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius

@@fkg360 yup, that's definitely it. I was thinking it had something to do with wolves, but no, that was Warren Zevon...
