Redding, Otis - Shake Lyrics
Shake!
(Everybody say it!) Shake!
(Early in the morning) Shake!
(Late in the evening) Shake!
(In the midnight hour) Shake!
Shake with the FEELING!
Shake with the FEELING!
Listen while I'm talkin' to you now
Tell you what I'm gonna do now
There's a new thing going around now
I'll tell what to put down now
You move your body all around
And just shake
Shake it like a bowl of soup
Let your body loop de loop
Put your hands on your hip
Come on and let your backbone slip
Move your body like your hip
And just shake!
Shake early in the morning
Shake early in the evening
A Ring-A-Ling-a-Ling
Honey, Shakin' is the greatest thing
But if you really roll Gotta do the thing with SOUL!
Shake shake with all your might now
If you do it, do it right now
Put your hands on your hip,yeah
Come on and let your backbone slip
Move your body like your hip
And just shake
(God have mercy now!)
Early in the morning
Early in the evening All night long, y'all!
If you really want to roll
Gotta do the thing with SOUL!
Shake shake with all your might
If you do it, do it right
Let your body loop de lite
Shake!
Everybody say it, Shake!
One more time, Shake!
Everybody louder, Shake!
One more time, now, say Shake!
Everybody a bit louder, Shake!

It is was huge talent back in the day!
I remember the day that Otis passed. Everyone on their phones. We were all devastated. God bless Otis and Merry Christmas!
Saw this great man in the 60s with Booker t. Died at his peak. Still a great song.
You know what to do. . . .

Otis's SWING VERSION of Sam Cooke's original. Drummer Al Jackson made it his own! Great soulful shuffle!
Fantastic recording by the only King of Soul..... He was the best and will never be forgotten!
This was a sam Cooke much better suited to Redding style of singing.
Damn you leg, you betray my stone confidence!
The Big O
This song is the best thing since my son hung himself in a gas station bathroom.
He recorded this song as an "agreement" with J. W. Alexander as part of the "deal" for having used Yeah Man in Sweet Soul Music.
pizza rolls
WHAT....16 people dont like....why????? please tell me....
MrNellyboy2 Maybe their Pizza Rolls never came in mail...?
This song's so dense. Every instrument has so much going on.
It's like poetry, it rhymes...
You may have gone too far in a few places.
. . . happy 75th birthday
good cover, but nobody beats Mickie
John Peek
SHAKE IT LIKE BOWL OF SOUP NAH! Possibly the greatest lyric ever written.
Twisting the night away
Why would you shake a bowl of soup?!
Sam Cooke & Otis Redding the greatest RIP God Bless

+George Eisner "You might not have noticed it. But your brain did."

I recognize this comment so I upvote.
What's wrong with your faaaaace?!
Cool comment. Very cool.
I challenge any human being who hears this song to just sit still while listening to it. It's impossible.
i like tina turner version better but this man can blow
I`d rather have a cheese and pickle roll.
God damn Otis Redding is great !!!!
Did you ever see "The Pop Monterey Festival"? His performance in it is amazing! If you can, rent it from Netflix or whatever rental store/site you use!
so true, great voice, sings like a guy who is about 45
THIS SHIT , ALL DAY !
His voice was surprisingly well-seasoned, considering he was only in his mid-twenties.
10 yrs old and I love redding's music. You should see him sing this live
in my head all day
Taringa? lol
Mmmm.....I like to fuck my cat....
The finest soul singer who ever lived (imho)
Why do i always get constipation from throwing house parties?
Way too soon !

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame listed three Redding recordings ("Shake," "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," and "Try a Little Tenderness") among its list of "The 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll." Rolling Stone ranked Redding #21 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Live version is better, in my opinion. Great song either way, though.
RED LETTER MEDIA!
Email me if you'd like a pizza roll.
A fantastic cover of the Sam Cooke classic. Forty three years after his passing, Otis Redding's music still and always will matter.
