Shakin' All Over Written by: Johnny Kidd Originally recorded by: Johnny Kidd and the Pirates When you move right up close to me That's when I get shakes all over me Quivers down my backbone I got the shakes in my kneebone I got the shakes in my thigh bone Shakin' all over When you move and say goodnight to me That's when I get shakes all over me When you move right up close to me That's when I get shakes all over me Quivers down my backbone I got the shakes in my kneebone I got the shakes in my thigh bone Shakin' all over When you move and say goodnight to me That's when I get shakes all over me |
DOCUMENTATION It began as a lad's joke - one of the band saw a girl he
fancied, "she gives me quivers in me membranes" he would tell the
rest. It began as a riff and a baseline jabbed out in thirty minutes. It
began as a B-Side. The marvel of pop (and the reason a biographical approach
seems so lacking sometimes) is how circumstances as drab as these produce
wonders. This song was covered by Billy Idol, Led Zeppelin and Suzi Quatro Rick performed this song live at Soaring Eagle Casino on 11/17/00
