In “‘76: Hustle '76”, Merritt recalls an event from his childhood in which he attempted to purchase a 'soundalike’ disco compilation record after seeing a commercial for it on late night TV.
[Verse 1]
Some people don't know how to dance
It's easy, you just move your hips
Now, as a chorus line advance
Tomorrow we'll do tango dips
You see, darlings, the whole world 'round
We've all gone wild for this new sound
[Chorus]
Hustle '76
Everybody dance now
You've got to dance now
Hustle '76
Ooh don't make romance now
Please, no romance now
Hustle '76
Everybody dance your life away
[Verse 2]
They sold a record on TV
Big melodies with simple beats
Dance music for the AM dial
Lyrics, alas, not for aesthetes
What can I tell you? I was ten
I should have been in bed by then
I order
[Chorus]
Hustle '76
Everybody dance now
You've got to dance now
Hustle '76
Ooh don't make romance now
Please, no romance now
Hustle '76
Everybody dance your life away
Hustle '76
Everybody dance now
You've got to dance now
Hustle '76
Ooh don't make romance now
Please, no romance now
Hustle '76
Everybody dance your life away
Hustle '76
Everybody dance your life away
’76 Hustle 76 was written by Stephin Merritt.
’76 Hustle 76 was produced by Charles Newman & Doveman & Stephin Merritt.
The Magnetic Fields released ’76 Hustle 76 on Fri Mar 10 2017.
In the album’s lyric booklet, Merritt tells Daniel Handler:
The record [Hustle ‘76] never came. I think I actually forgot to mention that in the song, which is strange because it is certainly the entertaining part of the story. I ordered it, it never came, so I’ve spent my life replicating.
