The Hustle

[Greeny]

Steve! You can't just leave it at that! This needs full track treatment. I like the twist you've given this. Needs some punky 'Do the Hustle' vox too.

LOL, love it Steve! This actually works really well and is a great riff, with the punky guitars it sounds good. Do the whole thing and add some vox, it would sound great.

I used to play in a pop punk band and we used to do punked up covers of a lot of rock songs (like Sweet Caroline) at about 100mph, much to the bemusement of any heavy rockers in the audience. I guess we spent too much time listening to these guys:

[StevieM]

Yep---- you're definitely back!!! Going to finish it???

[SteveG]

Might do mate, just watched it on Youtube (And I got embarrassingly close without listening first  ) and it is just the same two basic parts repeating a lot, so would not take long to build a backer. Main theme is basic too. Nice easy project to get me going again maybe.

Loved it!

Regarding the original song, if you lived through those times it was hard to forget...like it or not.

Back in the day if you did not dance to that crap you did not get laid!!!!

I'll have to take your word for that, SteveG...I wasn't in my teens yet! I had my own radio, though and after Saturday Night Fever hit, this genre played non-stop on it.

Old disco tunes such as 'The Hustle' need to be updated and refurbished like this - they have languished too long in the dustbins of musical history!
