It was a song about the songwriter's excitement at moving to NYC from Minneapolis, that's all. Or so I learned from a VH1 show about dance songs.

Who does the songwriter want to take him or her to Funkytown?

Well, not only that, but the songwriter moved! He no longer needs anyone to take him there!

My reading is that the songwriter is
talking
about moving, but is not so hot on the

Gotta move on!
The song is also not funky, but maybe that's another reason to want to go to Funkytown.

the most brilliant cover version ever,
poorly excerpted here
(http://www.funkytown.com/ftown/real/agitpop.ram) (as the brilliance lies in the contrast between the treatment of the verses, which you don't get to hear here, and the chorus).

Terry Grant was a wonderful specimen of a man. Hell, he was a speciman among specimen.
