In the hit movie, "Anchorman" Will Ferrell's love interest (played by Christina Applegate) makes the reference in the title of this post refering to sex. That's another way you could analize the lyrics of Funkytown.
The guy she could be bangin could be incredibuly bad in the sack. Sex is supposed to be an intimate and amazing experience for both members who participate. He could be that selfish guy who just gets what he wants then dips out and goes to sleep.
So one day she just gets pissed and up and leaves to find someone better. She looks around all over trying to find someone who will take her to "Funkytown." That place where she just has the greatest sex ever!
Another way you could look at is as if she was someone struggling to get some commitment out of her relationship. She could be with some amazing guy who is afraid of making the next step. Sure they are both interested in the "big step" but neither have them has made a move. They "Talk about it, talk about it, talk about it, talk about it" but nothing ever happens.
Finally, the girl gets fed up one day and just straight up asks her man, "Wont you take me to, Funkytown?" She is ready to make that next step and give herself to him.
However, the song never resolves itself. Who knows if anyone got takin to funkytown?
