Shake_Your_Hips
"Shake Your Hips" (sometimes known as "Hip Shake") is a song written by Louisiana bluesman Slim Harpo. He recorded it in February 1966 for producer J. D. Miller for a follow-up single to his hugely successful "Baby Scratch My Back". Miller's Excello Records released it as a single in June 1966 and in October, the song became the lead track for Slim Harpo's 1966 album Baby Scratch My Back, which was a long-term release in Excello's catalogue.[1]
Slim Harpo biographer Martin Hawkins describes it as a "dance-instruction song [with a] fast-paced, hypnotic shoeshine beat".[1] He notes contributions by Lazy Lester on percussion and Katie Webster on organ.[1]
