The Groove – Play That Funky Bingo – Blurb for 01/28/26

If you weren’t at The Groove last Wednesday, you missed a night so musically chaotic, so joyfully unhinged, so perfectly on‑brand, that even the smoker outside seemed to be dancing. The room filled early — because nothing motivates people like a mid‑week party and a discount that feels like it was calculated by an accountant who moonlights as a bass player.

We kicked things off with Rock &/or Roll, our tribute to songs that sometimes refuse to commit to just one verb. The dabbers were flying, the tables were shaking, and Bobbi‑Jo — celebrating her birthday — snagged a win like she had personally negotiated the playlist with Chuck Berry. Gunther S, Dustin E, Tammy S, Eric L, and Alisha B all doubled up later in the night, proving that some people don’t just rock… they rock the room.

Then came 1980’s Part 1, which hit the crowd like a hairspray cloud drifting out of a mall salon in 1987. Gunther S kept his streak alive, Tammy S doubled down, Eric L continued showing up like a synth riff that refuses to fade, and Stephanie V moonwalked into the winner’s circle. If you felt a sudden urge to wear leg warmers, that was normal.

Songs That Stutter followed — our beloved collection of “b-b-b-b-bangers.” This round always reveals who grew up on Buddy Holly, who grew up on Britney, and who just enjoys watching the host try to pronounce song titles without sounding like he’s buffering. Alisha B, Kayla C, Brittanie S, John D, and Stephanie V all reappeared, proving that while the songs may stutter, the winners do not.

We closed with 1970’s Part 4, which turned into a full‑scale bell-bottom avalanche. The winner list was so long it looked like the credits of a Marvel movie. Repeat champions from earlier rounds — Dustin E, Michele E, Mary W, Bobbi‑Jo (birthday magic strikes twice), Lisa G, Brittanie S, Stephanie V, John D — all returned like bell‑bottom‑wearing bingo superheroes. If we’d dimmed the lights, half the room would’ve started doing The Hustle.

📸 Automatic Funky Bingo Winners

These legends followed the blurb directions, uploaded a photo, and used the secret phrase — earning an automatic entry on the prize wheel:
Alisha B • Victoria D • Ben W • Brittanie S • Dustin E • Michelle E • Brody E

💸 Prize Wheel Winners

  • $10 – John D
  • $10 – Jim H
  • $10 – Brandon P

Ben winning with his photo entry was the perfect ending — proof that sometimes the wheel rewards those who follow directions, take pictures, and look like they’re having the time of their lives.

We’ll see you This Wednesday at 6:30pm for another round of Play That Funky Bingo at The Groove — where the smoker smells amazing, the music hits just right, and the dabbers roll harder than the Stones.
