This was a big hit in the 70s as far as I know, but I never knew its name or who it's by. It's instrumental (I think) and has a flute playing the whole way thru the song, except a trumpet occasionally joins in. It's got a disco vibe, medium tempo. This should be an easy one for most 30-40somethings at this board, it's a pretty well known song...

Maybe it's "The Hustle" by Van McCoy

My thought too, but how could the blob not remember the "Do The Hustle" part?

Yeah that's it...and that's what I THOUGHT it was. A few days ago when I typed "hustle" in iTunes a bunch of songs came up with that name, and the Van McCoy song must've been the only sample I didn't listen to. Thanks!

Any Jethro Tull songs you can think of? "Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day" was a hit with a lot of flute.
