1) Dato' Sheikh Abdullah bin Ahmad, also known as SHAKE and Dato Shake, was a very popular Malaysian singer in the 1980s Malay music scene.
2) Alias for Detroit producer Anthony "Shake" Shakir who is one of the more underrecognized, underappreciated names in American techno. A bedroom producer since 1981, Shake had an important role in helping shape the early Motor City sound associated with artists such as Juan Atkins / Model 500 and Derrick May. He worked with May and Carl Craig as a producer, writer, or engineer on several early tracks on Metroplex, and worked in management and A&R for the label (as well, he's often joked, as being the janitor) during its formative years. His first solo material appeared on Virgin's seminal Techno! The New Dance Sound Of Detroit compilation with 'Sequence 10'. Known as something of a techno purist, Shake has distanced himself from the European scene many of his colleagues have turned to for support (this accounts somewhat for his continuing obscurity), and his music is stylistically closer to second wave artists such as "Mad Mike" Banks and Claude Young — hard, stripped-down tracks which owe equally to techno, electro, hip-hop, and funk. Shake's visibility and reputation have risen in more recent years as a result of his Frictional and Puzzlebox labels, the latter of which he formed in 1996 with fellow Detroit electro / techno producer Keith Tucker (formerly of Aux 88). Releasing a series of records both solo and in combination (usually under the name Da Sampla), Shake and Tucker's Puzzlebox Records has, along with Underground Resistance and Guidance Recordings, become one of the more coveted sources of straight-up, no-bones Detroit techno.
3) Japanese J-Pop group formed in Tokyo, Japan. Mai Sakura, Maimi Fujita and Nao Miyazawa make up the trio of singers that credit Hirokazu Ito as the composer of both their first and second self-titled albums (SHAKE Vol.1 and SHAKE Vol.2, respectively). Their first album, SHAKE Vol.1 was released August 19th, 2009.
4) Spanish soft rock psychedelic band. Alberto Montero (guitar and vovals), Victor Hernandez (Bass), Jorge Castillo (Drums) y Carlos Cuesta (Guitar) recorded the first and only record at the moment, "Let me wear the morning Sun", in 2005. The band it's now recording the second album in studio.
5) Two-piece garage/shoegazer act based in Boston, MA. Shannon Barker (drums/baritone guitar) and Mike Hiltz (guitar/vox) combine elements of garage rock, shoegazer, and noise pop. Debuting with 2004's "Instant Record" EP, they're now working on a second full-length album.
6) Swedish dancehall band

7) A Mexican psytrance formation.
8) 80s punk from Scotland.
After The Rezillos disbanded, guitarist Callis, bassist Templar and drummer Paterson formed Shake with Troy Tate (who would go on to join The Teardrop Explodes), releasing an EP and two singles (the latter single under the name Jo Callis/S.H.A.K.E. Project).
9.) SHAKE was a band formed by Dave Alpert that played the Boston/Cambridge music scene and garnered significant airplay (mostly on WBOS, WFNX and the original WBCN) around the beginning of the 21st century until his passing in the summer of 2014.

Shake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm punching my card
Eight hours for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I've got this feeling
That time's just holding me down
Thats right baby
I've got this feeling
Now I gotta cut loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool,
obeying every rule
Deep way down in your heart
You're burning, yearning for the some
somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You'll get by if you'd only cut loose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Ooh-whee, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
We got to turn you around
And put your feet on the ground
Gotta take the hold of all
I'm turning loose, footloose,
kick off the Sunday shoes
Please, Louise, pull me off of my knees
Jack, get back, come on before we crack
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
Footloose, kick off the Sunday shoes
Ooh-whee, Marie, shake it, shake it for me
Whoah, Milo come on, come on let's go
Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose
The first verse of the song talks about the struggles of working hard and feeling trapped in a monotonous routine. The lyrics express the frustration of putting in long hours of labor without a clear purpose or reward. The line "I've got this feeling that time's just holding me down" suggests a longing for freedom and a desire to break free from the constraints of a repetitive and unfulfilling life. The singer threatens to "tear up this town" if they don't find a way to escape.
The chorus introduces the concept of cutting loose and being footloose. It encourages liberation and breaking free from societal expectations. "Kick off the Sunday shoes" represents shedding inhibitions and embracing a carefree attitude. The lyrics mention Louise, Jack, and cracking under pressure, implying that the song is meant to motivate others to join in on this liberation and find their own sense of release. "Lose your blues" further emphasizes the idea of letting go of worries and enjoying life to the fullest.
The second verse addresses someone who appears to be reserved and adhering strictly to rules. The lyrics suggest that deep down, this person desires excitement and spontaneity, someone to let them know that life shouldn't pass them by. The singer is trying to convey that taking risks and embracing change is essential for personal growth. They emphasize that if one doesn't even try to break free from conformity, life will continue to pass them by.
The second chorus reinforces the message of breaking free and finding one's own path. It encourages individuals to "cut loose" and let go of inhibitions. The repetition of "kick off the Sunday shoes" further emphasizes the theme of shedding societal expectations and embracing individuality. Louise, Jack, and cracking play similar roles as in the first chorus, highlighting the idea of uniting together to break free from limitations.
The final part of the song emphasizes the need to turn things around and not let life pass one by. The lyrics urge the listener to take control, put their feet on the ground, and seize opportunities. This verse reflects a call to action, motivating individuals to let loose, kick off their shoes, and dance their way to freedom. The repeated phrase "Lose your blues, everybody cut footloose" reinforces the message that joining together and embracing a carefree spirit is vital for personal happiness and fulfillment.
