Name that Herbie Hancock song!

This is more or less a desperate plea in the guise of a super fun game you can play along with at home!

It's from his 70s era, I beleive, or at least when he was at his funkiest, and it has a big native american influence. It sounds like Native American chants are on the track as well as flutes (or whatever instrument it may be, sort of sounds like a flute). This has been driving me nuts, and as Herbie Hancock has a billion songs, I cant find it.

In summation, whoever guesses correctly gets 200 points. All points redeemable for tokens at your local Chuckie Cheese.

It could be "Kebero" from Future 2 Future.. though that's 2001 and definitely not his funkiest

David, I'm 99.9% sure you're thinking of the version of "Watermelon Man" from Herbie's album called Headhunters.

A totally classic album which you MUST purchase at once, by the way.

That's it, Watermelon Man. It put me off because I kept finding songs that were either mislabeled, or different versions. 200 points to Broheems.

In addition to that Headhunters album, you should check out Thrust, which came right after it I believe.
