The lyrics to Soul City Orchestra's song The Hustle are quite simple, but they convey a clear message of wanting people to dance and do the popular disco dance move called the hustle. The repetition of phrases like "do it" and "do the hustle" create a catchy and upbeat rhythm that encourages listeners to get up and dance. It's a classic example of a disco song that came out in the 1970s and is still remembered today for its infectious groove and fun lyrics.
The song is meant to be a dance anthem, and it does its job well. The lyrics are sparse but effective, getting straight to the point and inviting people to join in the fun. The repetition of the same phrases over and over might seem repetitive to some, but it works to create a hypnotic effect similar to the one that disco music as a whole was known for. Even without deeper meaning or complicated wordplay, The Hustle remains a beloved song that has stood the test of time and continues to be played at parties and gatherings today.
