  • I never knew that us in Detroit only did the hustle to this XP I thought everyone did!!

  • @ANIMEGURL1227 It's not just a Detroit thing. It's Cali to D.C. Perhaps it was started in Detroit tho :)

  • Stevie wasnt played on this album! great track!! this song kicks ass!

  • his best lp, many gr8 songs,at least 7 singles, coulda sold more than 'hysteria'.wtf? what happened ? i still haven't seen original videos. love the crazy bassline after 6:14..dig it ,groove on.

  • This was huge at the University of Windsor in the early nineties...mainly due to the Detroit influence....great memories.

  • dis dat shit right here!

  • I didn't know it was a Detroit thing. I thought everyone did the hustle to Stevie. As soon as this song started playing, we would run to the dance floor. Fun times.

  • hustle!!! :)

  • if you haven't danced to this in any wedding you fail at life

  • Anyone else here read Bud, not Buddy?

  • Heyyyyyy!!!!!!! You are right!

  • I have a CD of Stevie Wonder that has #1 hits. How is this one not on there?!?

  • whoa thats some lag soz.

  • whoever disliked, it you just unlocked the secrets of how small justin beiber's nob is

  • whoever disliked, it you just unlocked the secrects of how small justin beiber's nob is

  • Can sumbody teach me this hustle? I feel left out.

  • @vintageclassik1990 Some people know this hustle as the electric slide, if that helps...(but to Michiganders, it'll always be the hustle. ;) )

  • @ShannonIsJammin hell yeah!!!

  • @ShannonIsJammin Im from Detroit. I KnowN this song by heart for as long as I can remember, but no one taught me how to do this hustle. Doesn't feel right

  • This "Detroit Hustle" has urban-sprawled its way to Lansing :)

  • This is one of THE best song compositions of the 1980s!

  • I used to think this was a fairly run-of-the-mill song by Stevie's standard. But I've been listening to it repeatidly for the past week, and I would now rank it within my top 10 Stevie songs. I love it. Best being played in a car, sunny day, loud loud loud!

  • Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Detroit Hustle! Everyone around here in Metro Detroit knows that song and dance! :D

  • @amosjames28 Yeah! While we were doing the hustle in the D to this song everybody else on the east coast was dancing to Marcia Griffiths Electric Boogie. Im surprise no other areas caught on to the Stevie track.

  • lol yes, we do the hustle to this is detroit, they taught it in my elementary school we learned it to this song. Doing the hustle to the actual "Do the Hustle" theme song is out of the ordinary here!

  • such an excellent song

  • OMG there is nuthin' gets the ladies at a wedding reception out on the floor faster than this song in my fabulous Motor City...everybody Detroit Hustle, y'all!!!!!!

  • jeeze never heard this song before, this is heavvvy

  • best hustle song ever

  • the re-mix is nice also. haven't heard it in awhile though. good song.

  • I am a proud Detroiter and this song is played at all "over 30" dance bars and at many a wedding and holiday party. At my husband's holiday part in December they had this, so I had to hit the floor and do the hustle with the group, even as pregnant as I was. When I hear this song, I line up to do the hustle. It's like a Pavlovian response :)

  • yes!! i have awesome memories doing the hustle (and did not realize it was a MI thing until reading these comments--i guess that explains why my friends here in CA have no idea what im talking about when i mention it, haha)

    Awesome!! thanks for this :)

  • Checking in, from the mighty Chi...this was a quintessential Chicago House music mixer!

  • Another funky tune - love this song - have the album on vinyl and the 12 inch single. I don't know what the folks did off of it in Detroit but in Richmond, Cali, we did whatever - just put it on and danced - too funky to sit still - had to do something.

  • I'm from New York and we rocked the hell out of this jam......... STEVIE IS DA MAN!

  • @tljones9 :) say it

  • i was a lonely no one

    living in the back amidst life's debris

    STEVIE RULES

  • OH YES! IM FROM DETROIT N THIS IS DA ALL TIME HUSTLE SONG!

  • this cd is in the car on every road trip I make! I eat up a lot of miles on this song alone

  • HEy Johnniewalker23, you have got enough views and subscribers to be a partner! Then you make money of your videos! got to youtube . com / partners

    If they approve, you can get payed for views!

  • I swear if they don't play this song at a wedding reception or any dance it is just not as good is they would have played it :)

  • How good it is...Stevie comes from Heaven..Thanks Stevie.

    women an little boys you see he went an bleached his skin stop that lie about a skin disorder

    skin disorder i have a skin disorder but i didnt turn white a white woman aint that

  • @ronaldlsmith1 uhm wow you're cool aren't you? first off, yuh idiot, him and Stevie were like best buds and their music sounds a lot alike. and it was confirmed after his autopsy that he actually had Vitiligo and to put that rumer to sleep after 20 years but yet people like yourself could care less about the facts and more about the bashing and misunderstanding. now, before you get a whole crowd of haters, I'd watch what you post. kthanks.

  • now this man here is the greastest singer ive ever known you say michael jackson

    is the king but michael didnt like american black people all he did was chase white

    women an little boys

  • ''Hustle Time'' Lolll !!1

  • Excellent!!!

  • stevie is PURE TALENT

  • I like this song but I like the remix version a lot more.

  • Stevie Wonder's the man!

  • this has been his opener while touring hear in the UK - TOTALLY AWESOME track

  • This song never gets old and the Hustle never goes out of style

  • I wish I could song these joyful words...

    Fantastic song! One of my Stevie's favourites!!! Remember it from my childhood, from an old tape... I found it after years on internet...

  • We will never see this kind of talent in our lifetime. Best when you hustle /dance to it.

  • Sheeeeeshh!!! Brings back so many memories, grew up listening to Stevie, loved this sang back in the day... it's still awesome, gotta get up and MOVE now!! Thanks for posting.

  • I wish someone had the actual video. I remember it, he took his shades off, open his eyes wide, and starred at this chick, no bullshit.

  • awesome!

  • Do the hustle!

  • When music was music. Hard to sit down or stay still when this song plays.

  • @vknit10 True :)

  • detroit owns

  • @MichaelJacksonLuvr1

    yes we do!!!! born & raised, now residing in philly, but still a from "the D" through and through!!!!

  • @pphunkwephunk yeah i love detroit and dearborn

  • when this cd came out I was working at a small record shop owned by a family that had a printshop one floor undernearth the record shop & I used to get in trouble for playing this cd too loud ( & I played it everyday & more than once a day ) as I could make the whole brick building shake with the wonderful sounds of stevie wonder LOL

  • All right, everyone get on the floor! Time to do the Hustle :)

  • @willlibuster I didn't understand this until today, was reading an article on Stevie and the writer mentioned that this is the song that folks out in Detroit do the Hustle to.

  • @johnniewalker23 We sure do :). It rocks for the Hustle

  • @johnniewalker23 Were people still doing the Hustle in '87? Oh - I guess so. My bad.

  • @johnniewalker23 YES WE DO!!!!!!!!! :)

  • Comment removed

  • @johnniewalker23 I am from MI and was just asking my frind (from PA) if she remembered doing the hustle to this.. She looked at me all confused and then I read your post! Guess it was only a MI thing HAHAHA

  • @johnniewalker23 I'm born and raised in Detroit and can attest to that. Never fail to see the whole room start Hustling when this track comes on.

  • @johnniewalker23 heck yea we do! lol as a Detroiter myself, we play this at wedding receptions all the time! even the children know it! idk where u live at but i'd b happy to share the Detroit tradition w/ ya! u shud try it over where you're at too :)

  • @johnniewalker23

    That's so weird! My friend from college is from Illinois, and she came to visit me in the Metro Detroit area for a wedding, and this came on and I was dancing my heart out, and she said "Why are you doing the hustle, you weirdo?". The groom came up to her and said "Why are you NOT doing the hustle?!" Lol

  • Comment removed

  • @johnniewalker23 you dance your pain away thats why we started hustling to this song lol

  • @johnniewalker23 yup...us michiganders do the hustle to this song. Everytime someone in my family has a wedding we play this song and start the Hustle!

  • @MariahBobiah001 So true Im from michigan and i used to do the hustle to this song at my school dances and weddings! Im 21 now so i was doing this back when i was like 16

  • @Bobthebuildermustdie I know right!!! I could not imagine the hustle w/o Stevie!!!!

  • @johnniewalker23 us detroiters,,.

  • lookin for this song for years BEST OF THE MUSIC HISTORY

  • This is the song we did the Electric Slide to in Detroit... classic

  • @RemTheMulatto electric slide you mean the hustle lol

  • @babygirlthirtythree Same thing, lol

  • A-FREAKIN-MEN!

  • What an amazing song from Stevie Wonder. This is real music right here. This is much better than today's music nowadays. I would rather listen to Stevie Wonder than to listen to Usher any day. Stevie Wonder has some meaning music out. This is my opinion.

  • i understand what you are saying. thanks for your comment anyways.

  • I love Stevie and feel he is the best, but I get your point about the production. The music is good but the instrumentation is one dimensional at times. I mean listen to songs like another star or visions, they're awsome and real.

  • @alfbigboy I agree. While this is better than most music out there now, this doesn't hold a candle to "Another Star" or "Higher Ground" or any number of his earlier works. One thing that Stevie must be credited with is his ability to create a compelling work of art like this with electronic synthesizers. Many lesser artists of today sound like they've outsourced the job of writing the music to the computer as well.

  • @graecophilos88 year i was born

  • @babygirlthirtythree BUST A MOVE AND DANCE THEN...STAND UP!!STEVIE WONDER IS LEGEND.

  • This song is one of the absolute best, nothin like todays music. Music from twenty years ago and back is the best there is.

  • I love this song! It is the bomb! Long live Stevie!!!!

  • This song is a testament to good music. I have been to white and black receptions and people act a straight fool when this comes on. Damn, now I think I'm gonna put on my steppin' shoes and take the Mrs. out and scuff up some flo' lol.

  • Sorry, but I just have to ask...ForceFagerStorm? just curious bout the username.

  • It's all good. It's from an episode of the Conan O'brien show. He was visiting a fan in Finland, and the apartment next door to hers had a name plate on it and that was the name on it. He starts knocking on this guy's door yelling "Fagerstrom!!! I know you're in there!! You really have to see it to appreciate it, cuz it's hilarious. You used to be able to find the clip all over the net and on here, but I think NBC clips them after they pop up.

  • should get a video of people doing the dnce to this song

  • MR.MOTOWN WONDER!

  • this is THE hustle song! you can do the original or add some extra moves in it. we from detroit know all about this!

  • This is one of those line dance songs the bars always play.

  • Michigan wedding receptions....

  • got that right :)...from Michigan?

  • This song is so true for me and even though I have not found Mr. right I have a better life for drugs and alcohol my pain is gone and i live for today everyday with out crying!!

  • hahah OMG!! my cousin just moved here from Dearborn michigan and she had this at her wedding

  • Hell yeah! I have hustled to this joint at many a club, party and wedding reception. Straight up Michigan style! Go Blue!

  • really we usually use shania twain ur lucky to use this song it's better than shania twain and much more fun :)

  • at my school dances.

    we use this as the hustle.

    and we have this huge group do it.

    its amazing. i love this songg.

  • Stevie: The Movie!

  • this da shit no matter what

  • lololololololololololololololo­lololol

  • The racist pun on Nisa's name was the only funny thing that made up for this disturbing story!!!

    Since most people dance by themselves, its just a matter of time before partner dancing becomes a "thing of the past".

    I guess people just feel awkward around strangers!

  • lol ur crazy dude, partner dancing isn't going anywhere.....and the hustle is the shit even though its not really dancing....hopefully ur not serious...and if you are you should seek help

  • Many of you people are reacting to negative people with stuff that is just as negative, which is a pity because positive stuff is what makes the world better, not outwriting some people with a vicious youtube comment.

  • This song is the Jam. Love this album

  • why do they play this song at every wedding i got to?????

  • Cause its the jam! XD

  • because it's a song to do the hustle to...:D

  • Fuck you!

    I would be more tolerant of you being racist than you blaspheming partner dancing in favor of the Hustle!

  • What the fuck Kittyslasher? Stevie wonder is the man. His music is amazing, Detroit is sweet no matter what any of you pussys say. I am from the D

  • thats right...defend my city!!!!!

  • Because stupid dickheads waste dancefloor space doing the hustle to this song, serious dancers get pissed off.

    This is why people are racist and why the R&B community and the rock and roll community are racially segregated; and why niggers in Detroit think they can be more violent as an excust to discourage racism.

    Stevie Wonder taints the soul rahter than soothes it.

  • You are dumb! So stupid and ignorant for even writing this!!!!!!!

  • LOL @ kittyslasher69. "Serious Dancers" huh? Stop watching You Got Served on repeat and join the real world. You're probably some 15 year old emo. GTFO

  • R&B and rock and roll are segregated? Really? That's why so many R&B artists have collaborated with rock and roll artists on each others albums? You're really just jealous that you haven't learned the dance, sweetie. Oh, and quick spelling lesson: e-x-c-u-s-e spells excuse; not e-x-c-u-s-t. Dumbass. Perhaps, if you picked up a book every once in a while, the world would be a better place.

  • I say that dancing is about being with the partner physically, not doing what everybody else is doing. That is why me and my friend Kitty criticize that dance. I mean, why does the whole dancefloor have to have that dance just because that song is playing?

    I mean, if somebody is going to dance alone, they might as well breakdance (which is what a dancing daredevil would do).

  • It's not up to one person to interpret how dance should be for everyone else. If you don't wanna participate in the hustle, then don't! It's really just that simple. And you obviously have no idea what you're talking about, when it comes to race and rock and roll. Or, have you never heard of Little Richard, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Tina Turner,, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley? All African Americans who in some way either influenced or founded rock and roll.

  • you gotta point and don't forget about Prince and lenny Kravitz

  • I live life in the fast lane.

    And when assholes slow me down, it only creates a hazard for the community.

    Anyway, that is why I don't take kindly to discrepancies in music genres.

    Rock and Roll just had to get fucked up didn't it.

    I mean, Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix are the most famous black people to be part of the genre. The only reason why others didn't maintain consistency to its original form is because people are racist; I see evidentary value in how common one race is for a genre

  • I think racism may hold a key to deciphering the music genre discrepancies you may be under suspicion of!

  • And how exactly are you complaining about racism, when you have a racial slur in your post? Silly little simple bitch.

  • I forgot how this cut was,,,,,,,,,,,great classic

  • Good Lookin out Johnnie, these great songs you get, brings back great memories. They never get old to me at all. :)

  • Well, it also brings back senseless memories.

    If people would stop doing the hustle to this song, dancefloors would make more sense.

  • "The Detroit Hustle" (Pick up the Money)

  • If you stop doing the hustle to this song, the world will be a better place.

  • I want you all to take this oath:

    "I promise never to do the hustle to this song"?

    Anybody with me?

    Because that damn hustle has been overdone.

    Anyway, you will have 69 times more fun dancing with women than dancing apart from them!

  • Samurai has a point!!!!!!!!

    When he makes an oath to encourage more couple dancing and less lone dancing; HE MEANS BUSINESS!!!

    Now that markdown on comment integrity was just sheer stupidity.

    Because you gotta realize that a blind nigger wrote a song which he will never get to witness hustling to because of his medical condition; and since I agree that the hustle is stupid, Stevie deserves to be blind for the rest of his life!

  • Maybe god blinded him for good as an omen to how stupid the hustle is as a dance; and to tell us that the hustle is just an ugly diorama. That I would rather have diarrhea than see that diorama.

  • now thats some funny shit.

  • You're poking fun at a blind man? Seriously? Maybe God should cut off your dick as an omen to show how stupid people like you shouldn't procreate.

  • Geeze, what a bunch of crap. Stevie's eyes would be crying if he had to read this tripe.

    Great song though.

  • genius!

  • Play this song at any given family reunion, and it is guaranteed that somebody will start doing the electric slide!!!!

  • Does anyone know where I can get a copy of a video of this song where a lot of stars were singing with Stevie and Chaka Khan was playing the drums? I saw it on here last year. Thanks

  • You don't deserve a copy of this video!

    The damn hustle has been overdone; and serious dancers have to suffer loss of dancefloor space over lazy losers who dance to this song!!!

    Go find another song to listen to!

  • HATER

  • This man is a genius! I love this song sooo much!! Thanks for posting it, I've been wanting to listen to it forever but could never find it.

    I LOVE YOU! Haha

  • this is sweet man johnnie your are the man stevie wonder is great and if it wasnt for you i wouldnt of heard half of his stuff gratz
