Need title to this jazzy song. "Do the 'something'" -not hustle or locomotion?

Question

I heard this song on the radio and it was really fuzzy so I couldn't understand the main line where the singer said "Do the 'someting'" ,and no it wasn't the hustle or locomotion. The words weren't really important in this song, the singer mostly focused on saying things about what instrument was about to play a solo, the drums or the guitar. It was very jazzy and energetic. I would guess this is a 60's or 70's song. Also, I did understand one line in the song, it was "Look here, we're going to make it mellow for ya now." Immeadietly after that line the music would break for a moment and a trumpet would do a desending rythym for a moment and then the music would break back in. It almost sounded like James Brown but not quite. Similar though. I'm really dying for this song, please help.

Hi everybody. I'm Archie Drell and the Drells from Houston, Texas. We don't
only sing but we dance just as good as we walk. In Houston we just started a
new dance called the Tighten Up. This is the music we tighten up to.

First tighten up on the drums. Come on now drummer. I want you to tighten
it up for me now. oh yeah
Tighten up on that bass now. Tighten it up. ha ha Yeah
Now let that guitar fall in. Oh yeah
Tighten up on that organ now.

Ya, do the tighten up. Yeah now.
I said if you can do it now,
It sure would be tough.

Now look here. Come on now. Make it mellow.
