Originally Posted By TDLFAN Lisann22, your first definition... says "Funk music was a major influence on the development of disco and, later, hip hop music." Hmmm... The problem is DONNA did "eurodance", NOT disco. Gloria did "disco", Evelyn Champaign King did "disco", Sister Sledge did "disco", Chic did "disco". Donna... did "Eurodance" *AT* the Disco. BIG HUGE difference. Thanks Giorgio, you God!

Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>I just want my P-Funk, I want to get Funked up<< That reminds me of Munich Machine's "Get on the Funky Train" which was also produced by DONNA's producer Giorgio Moroder, so I guess Eurodance does have a little funkiness in it.
