Matmatah's song "Twist and Shout" is a cover of the classic Beatles hit with a twist of their own. The lyrics are all about encouraging someone to let loose and get their groove on. The song starts off with the classic call to action, "Shake it up baby now," before diving into the chorus of "Twist and shout." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is all about getting up and moving your body.
As the song goes on, the lyrics continue to encourage the listener to let go of their inhibitions and just dance. The lines "Come on and work it on out" and "Let me know you're mine" are all about connecting with someone on a physical and emotional level through dance. It's a truly joyful song that's all about celebrating life and living in the moment.
One interesting fact about Matmatah's version of "Twist and Shout" is that it features a mix of French and English lyrics. This is because Matmatah is a French rock band, and they wanted to add their own unique spin to the song. Additionally, the music video for the song features footage from the movie "The Seventh Seal" by Ingmar Bergman.
