The song "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On" is a classic rock and roll hit that was first recorded by Big Maybelle in 1955. The song is most famously associated with Jerry Lee Lewis, who recorded it in 1957 and turned it into a massive hit. The lyrics of the song are simple and straightforward, inviting someone to come over for a good time because there's a whole lot of shakin' going on. The song encourages listeners to let loose and dance, with the repeated refrain of "shake it baby shake it."
The song's lyrics are full of playful innuendo, suggesting that there's more going on than just innocent dancing. When the singer invites someone to come over to their barn for some chicken and to get the bull by the horns, it's clear that there's a certain level of country roughhousing going on. The repeated calls to "shake it" and the encouragement to "wiggle around just a little bit" also imply that there's a certain sensuality to the dancing.
