If Aussie Hip Hop made out with Country Music, they’d produce a baby like this!

Hillbilly Funk is the ultimate mash‑up: breakbeats meet banjos, rap meets rodeo. It’s cheeky, bold, and stomps from the city streets to the back paddock. Fat basslines, brass hits, and a call‑and‑response hook that’ll have you yelling, “Do the Hillbilly Funk!”

This one goes back a ways—I wrote the first version about 15 years ago after a wild DJ gig up in Gladstone. The vibe stuck, the story grew, and sat on the back burner until now! The groove turned into a full‑blown floor‑stomper: barnyard grooves over crisp breakbeat drums, country twang riding shotgun with city swagger. Think neon lights, boot‑stomp rhythms, and a crowd who knows every chant.

From Brisbane bayside to back‑paddock parties, Hillbilly Funk is pure dancefloor fun. Play it loud!

Verse 1
Here’s my story, short but it’s true
Don’t laugh now, could happen to you
Down with the crew at the discothèque
She stepped in the room with the stripes and checks

Verse 2
I scoped her style,
From her lips to her kicks,
Boots on the floor,
Man, that fashion was slick.
Then it hit me hard,
She flashed that smile,
Country charm in the city,
Had me hooked for a while.

Hook
Lights down low,
Yeah I was drunk,
Next thing I know,
Everybody scream, Hillbilly Funk!
Clap to the beat, Hillbilly Funk!
Banjo and brass, Hillbilly Funk!
From the right to the left, Hillbilly Funk!

Verse 3
She said, “Boy, you dance?”
I said, “I’ll give it a try,”
She spun me ‘round like a rodeo,
Under neon lights.
DJ dropped the beat,
And the crowd got loud,
We mixed barnyard moves
With the breakbeat sound.

Verse 4
Now the bass went boom,
And the boots went stomp,
We mashed up the groove
With a hillbilly romp.
City meets the country,
That girl got spunk,
Everybody scream,
“Do the Hillbilly Funk!”

Chorus (Gang Chant)
Everybody scream, Hillbilly Funk!
Clap to the beat, Hillbilly Funk!
Banjo and brass, Hillbilly Funk!
From the right to the left, Hillbilly Funk!
Build it high, let it roar
On the downbeat, all aboard!
One more time, make it pump
Get the funk up and jump, Hillbilly Funk!

Verse 5
Now the banjo twanged,
And the trumpet blew,
We tore up the floor,
Like a hoedown crew.
Boots in the air,
Spins on the deck,
City lights flashing,
Country in effect!

Verse 6
She hollered “Yeehaw!”
And the crowd went wild,
DJ flipped the beat,
With that backwoods style.
From the barn to the block,
We don’t play by the book,
Raise your glass high,
For that Hillbilly Funk!

Hook (Repeat)
Lights down low,
Yeah I was drunk,
Next thing I know,
Hillbilly Funk.
Clap to the beat, Hillbilly Funk!
Banjo and brass, Hillbilly Funk!
From the right to the left, Hillbilly Funk!
Build it high, let it roar
On the downbeat, all aboard!
One more time, make it pump
Get the funk up and jump, Hillbilly Funk!
