The show included visuals by longtime G-Stone VJ collaborator Fritz Fitzke and MC performances by Earl Zinger and MC Ras T-Weed. With performances at The Big Chill, Berlin Festival and numerous other high profile festivals, the "K&D Sessions Live“ show became an instant success and a world tour ensued.

I say shake it baby
gotta whole lotta shaking
and you see why they call me chocolate Elvis

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Chocolate Elvis" by Kruder & Dorfmeister have a certain sexual connotation as they talk about shaking and being called Chocolate Elvis. The opening line of "I say shake it baby" sets the tone for the song as it urges the listener to move their body. The use of the phrase "gotta whole lotta shaking" emphasizes the intensity of the movement required. The lyrics then go on to explain why the singer is called Chocolate Elvis.

The comparison to Elvis Presley, an iconic figure of the Rock and Roll era, is significant in the context of the song. Elvis was known for his provocative hip swings while performing and his predominantly black-colored hair. The reference to chocolate here refers to the color of the singer's skin. Thus, the phrase Chocolate Elvis is a representation of a provocative and sensual persona.

Overall, the song is an invitation to abandon all inhibitions and indulge in a moment of primal pleasure. The repeated reference to Chocolate Elvis throughout the lyrics also indicates the power of branding and the importance of having a recognizable image in the music industry.

I say shake it baby
Allow me to express that you should move your body in a rhythmic fashion, my dear companion

gotta whole lotta shaking
I possess an abundance of movements and actions that involve shaking, undulating, and gyrating

and you see why they call me chocolate Elvis
Upon observing my dance routine, it becomes clear why I am bestowed with the nickname 'Chocolate Elvis'
