The song "Cadillac" by Billy Childish and Thee Headcoats includes the lyrics "For Goodness' sake, I got the Hippy Hippy Shakes." This line refers to a popular dance move from the 1950s called the "Hippy Hippy Shake." The singer of the song is so caught up in the rhythm of the music that they can't sit still and have to dance. The repetitive nature of the chorus emphasizes this feeling, with the singer saying they "got the shakes" and then describing the physical act of shaking multiple times throughout the song. The line "it's in the bag" adds to the feel-good nature of the song, suggesting that nothing can stop the singer from dancing and having a good time.
Overall, "Cadillac" is a high-energy song that celebrates the joy of dancing and being swept up in the moment. The lyrics are repetitive and simple, but they capture the sense of abandon that comes with letting loose on the dance floor. In some ways, this song is a reminder of a simpler time when the "Hippy Hippy Shake" was all the rage and dancing was a way of life.
