Shakin’ All Over
Johnny Kidd Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me
Quivers down my back bone
I've got the shakes down the kneebone
Yeah havin' the tremors in the thighbone
Shakin' all over

Just the way you say goodnight to me

Brings that feeling on inside of me
Quivers down my back bone
I've got the quivers down the thighbone
Yeah the tremors in my back bone
Shakin' all over

Quivers down my back bone
Yeah I have the shakes in the kneebone
I've got the tremors in the back bone
Shakin' all over

Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby

Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby

This feeling is further emphasized with the repetition of phrases such as "quivers down my back bone" and "tremors in the thighbone."

The second verse continues to describe the intense physical sensations that the singer experiences when their lover is around them. The line "Just the way you say goodnight to me / Brings that feeling on inside of me" suggests that the simplest of gestures from their lover is enough to send the singer into a state of excitement. The repetition of phrases such as "quivers down my back bone" and "tremors in my back bone" emphasizes the intensity of the physical response.

Overall, the lyrics to "Shakin' All Over" can be interpreted as a celebration of the intense physical and emotional connection between the singer and their lover.

Line by Line Meaning

When you move in right up close to me
Whenever you come too close to me

That's when I get the shakes all over me
That's when my whole body starts shaking

Quivers down my back bone
A tremble travels through my spinal column

I've got the shakes down the kneebone
My knee shakes uncontrollably

Yeah havin' the tremors in the thighbone
I'm experiencing shakes in my thigh

Shakin' all over
My whole body is involuntarily moving

Just the way you say goodnight to me
Your way of bidding me goodnight

Brings that feeling on inside of me
Stirs up feelings within me

I've got the quivers down the thighbone
The trembles are felt in my thigh

Yeah the tremors in my back bone
The shaking is felt in my spinal column

Yeah I have the shakes in the kneebone
My knees are shaking uncontrollably

Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
You're causing me to tremble and I enjoy it

Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
You're causing me to shake and I enjoy it

Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
You're causing me to tremble and I enjoy it

I'm a Japanese teenager girl.
My favorite Japanese guitarist respected Mick Green.
So I learned about Johnny Kidd & The Pirates.
I wanted to listen to various songs from this band and I bought the best album CD
And now I like it!
There are very few Japanese who are aware of it
So I think that it would be better if the goodness of this is conveyed to them.
(Maybe my English is something wrong.
But please don't care about it.)

Hello! I agree that this is a great rock song, a truly timeless piece of music. I don't know if you've heard this story, but Johnny Kidd & the Pirates helped Canada's "The Guess Who" get their first big break and their first hit. Back then, the band members would receive huge reels of audiotape from England featuring their most popular songs of the time, although they often had no labels and they didn't know who the bands or artists were! They learned the songs "by ear" and adapted them for their own use, playing in concert halls and community centers in their home city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. After they re-recorded "Shakin' All Over", they didn't have an official name for their group, so they released the record in a plain cover that said "Guess Who?" It was a huge success. Eventually, they took "The Guess Who" for their name. You ought to use your computer to listen to CBC Radio One online. The Guess Who's guitarist, Randy Bachman, hosts a wonderful weekly two-hour show called "Vinyl Tap" that features all sorts of great, classic rock/R&B/soul/pop music. He also has a channel of streaming music similar to his show, if I'm not mistaken. Check it out if you can!

@oleggorky906

@@robertmassucci1 This is quite some time before The Beatles broke through though (1960). The Beatles first hit didn’t come until October, 1962. Also, I wouldn’t call The Beatles a rock & roll band in the same way that Johnny Kidd and the Pirates were. Sure, they were influenced by rock & roll performers such as Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry and they even recorded some songs in a rock & roll style. But they incorporated a lot of other elements such as soul, folk and blues and even more after they broke through, such as psychedelic and progressive rock sounds.

Strangely enough though, one of their later number ones, Lady Madonna in 1968, did hark back to a rock & roll style, even though that kind of music had been out of fashion for quite a few years. And shortly after this, rock ‘n’ roll came back in a big way in the early 70’s, lasting right the way through the decade with films and television shows cashing in on the boom; American Graffiti, Lemon Popsicle, Private Popsicle, The Buddy Holly Story, Happy Days, Grease, and in the UK, That’ll be the Day.

To British ears, the Guess Who vocal sounds like an impersonation and five years late at that. This record was a building block for the later Invasion. Look at it this way. George Harrison, Jimmy Page, David Gilmore Et al would have soaked this up and reached for their guitars. I saw JK live in 1960. He was a trail blazer.

I absolutely love this guys voice!...and musically, they were just fabulous! This music was before my time, but that doesn't stop me appreciating it. I'd rather listen to this than the drivel that's played on the radio today.

So many remakes. Such a great classic. I always love to play the original versions of great songs.

I had heard this song tons of times, but I don't think I ever realized who sang it until today. Cool. Thanks for the upload.

People forget not only how good and important these were. Without british rock bands like these, there is a good chance there might not be rock today. It could have died on the vine, as John cale put it.

Joe Moretti, from Scotland and using a Zippo lighter as a slide bar. I saw them live in 1960. Well not with Joe Moretti. He did the recording session but didn't tour.
