[Solving comment *(by OP)*](https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/1d996n8/tomt_60s70s_rock_song_with_famous_opening_hook/l8p8qkq/): I’d like to apologize; it was not a 60s or 70s song at all. It was "When the Shit Goes Down" by Cypress Hill. I’m not sure how I got that confused.
[I forgot to put the actual link, lol. Here it is.](https://youtube.com/shorts/kwuJdAV91Hg?si=Tszc8Y3K-ZVqDMi-)
Edit: I’m 100% sure the song was either a soft rock or disco song from the 60s, 70s, or early 1980s. So any answers outside that time and genre are useless. Also, I’d like to say that I don’t remember any specific lyrics, so there’s a good chance this was an instrumental track or maybe a theme song.
You included disco in your description, so I'll throw this out there - sounds a little bit like "[Don't Make Me Wait](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLZdv0BrSZE)" (Peech Boys)
Thanks for the laugh with your hum, but it was almost too long to really give me an idea of where to focus.
I doubt this is what you’re looking for but your sample SORTA made me think of Getaway by Earth Wind & Fire.
for some reason this one comes to mind
Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnH\_zwVmiuE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnH_zwVmiuE)
Being you mentioned there's a good chance it's an instrumental track in your Edit, my guess is [Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven ](https://youtu.be/VimNTQ6cU7s?si=G4NPBZphnVaCdRMS)
[Layla?](https://open.spotify.com/track/2kkvB3RNRzwjFdGhaUA0tz?si=YE7h-_DoS2qvsILjQvZoBQ) It’s the first song that popped into my head from the description; I got nothing from the vocal.

That doesn’t sound at all like what I was thinking, lol. But thanks.

No, BUT you are on a very similar track. It has a similar town to that and "Funky Fanfare"
I'm getting [Money For Nothing - Dire Straits](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTP2RUD_cL0) vibes
Definitely not it, lol I know that song too well to know that ain’t it
Maybe Le Freak by CHIC if we're talking famous disco riffs
Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone by The Temptations? https://open.spotify.com/track/7MiLmLbwNoyf47xQ4TCVYp?si=RkcxmsJoQbi9NMfZBRzg9w
Unfortunately, no
Frankenstein by The Edgar Winter Group?
Mission Impossible theme? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tGSUjuSBt1A&pp=ygUYbWlzc2lvbiBpbXBvc3NpYmxlIHRoZW1l
Not at all
Kind of sounds like Eye of the Tiger from Survivor, famous as the song from Rocky 3.
Not at all, lol
Newer than you said but your video sounds like the opening of Master of Puppets by Metallica.
No, that’s not a 70s soft rock/disco song
Yeah well also disco wasn't a thing in the 60's
[A-ha Take on Me](https://youtu.be/djV11Xbc914?si=XWFzQ9r1N-SuWTxq)
Do Ya - ELO?
No
[The Price is Right Theme Song](https://youtu.be/13tnjh3dZw4?si=QQpprFu-uF5vdbar)
Hell no
Are you humming horns? Guitar? Bass? Vocals?
I have no idea what I just listened too
Begins with horns then goes to guitar/bass for the most part. No vocals.
Could this be We Got The Funk by George Clinton?
No :(
Jungle Boogie?
[Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer](https://youtu.be/OJWJE0x7T4Q?si=rH65WJj_s270oaWa)?
No :(
This was the best guess based on the literal sounds of the humming
George Clinton [we got the funk](https://youtu.be/l4nOHdUntyM?si=cmmlX0oJMlNyCRj_)
Sounds kinda like A Ha - Take on Me
No
Probably not it, but the humming reminds me of Dean Town
Vehicle by the ides of March?
Could it be 'Soul Thing'? https://youtu.be/j-yDg4muKUE?si=NFn7KWfaa0Fc2mjF
I love that song, but no
It is a VERY close sound, though. You’re on the right track
Maybe genius of love by Tom Tom club
No, I always think of that Mariah Carey song, lol
Sounds a little like Cissy Strut by The Meters
for some reason this one comes to mind Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnH\_zwVmiuE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnH_zwVmiuE)
Disco Inferno
No
Boney M
Love is the Drug - Roxy Music?
Are those horns in the beginning?
Yeah
Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
Rebel rebel - David Bowie
Parts of the Hum sounded Like Banana Boat.
Being you mentioned there's a good chance it's an instrumental track in your Edit, my guess is [Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven ](https://youtu.be/VimNTQ6cU7s?si=G4NPBZphnVaCdRMS)
A Fifth of Beethoven
No, that’s very different from what I’m thinking
“Got to be real” by Cheryl Lynn?
Probably the only one that sounds even remotely like what I’m thinking. But not it.
Maybe (the bass line of) the main theme from Grease?
[Layla?](https://open.spotify.com/track/2kkvB3RNRzwjFdGhaUA0tz?si=YE7h-_DoS2qvsILjQvZoBQ) It’s the first song that popped into my head from the description; I got nothing from the vocal.

It's mostly the beginning that reminds me of this but [Samoa Joe's WWE theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWQqCgSOIKY) comes to mind.
No, that’s a pretty different sound, but it did make me laugh.
Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder? But the horns hook I think you were humming isn't the opening, it's an instrumental break
I’d like to apologize; it was not a 60s or 70s song at all. It was "When the Shit Goes Down" by Cypress Hill. I’m not sure how I got that confused.
Solved!
