26. Is Enya short for "Enervated"?
Seems that way.

The Cowboy Junkies would be another such funky-assed group.

13. Achy-breaky Heart, or anything by the Carpenters
I'm on top of the world
lookin down on creation
and the only explanation I can find
is the love that I found
ever since you've been around
your love's put me at the top of the world

Edited to add that a lot of early Olivia Newton John stuff was seriously un-funky as well. Have You Never Been Mellow. Please Mr. Please. etc.
