#1 hit for Wild Cherry in 1976.
Songwriter: Robert Parissi
J's Journal:
This song was our opener for much of the Fred Behanna era of ApologetiX. It was another attempt to have a theme song that introduced the band. Some people may dispute me saying "Once I WAS a kooky singer" as if I'm no longer a kooky singer, but the reason that line's in the past tense is because it was when I was "playing in a rock and roll band" (i.e. a secular band).
The original song, "Play That Funky Music," was written about a singer's experience at a club in Pittsburgh, not too far from where I live.
