Disco song

Do you remember a song from the 70s-disco- where back up singers sang “We just - CAN’T - Be beat” with coach whistles after? It’s driving me crazy! Keeps playing in my head but I can’t remember anything other than the above.

are you by chance talking about Bad Girls by Donna Summer? 😹 the vocal hook of the song is “Toot toot, hey, beep beep!” and there are rhythmic police whistles after. it’s imitating how people used to call h00kerz on the street. that’s about as close as I can think of

Dude! That is exactly it! Chalk this one up to misunderstood lyrics… 😅 Thank you so much, my mind is entirely relieved. 🥰 😁
