I got the hippy hippy shake
Well, I got the shake
I got the hippy hippy shake
I can't stand still
With the hippy hippy shakes
Ooh, get my thrills now
Well, it's in the bag
Hippy hippy shake
You shake it to the left

You do the hippy shake shake
With all of your might, whoa baby
Aw, you gotta shake

The Swinging Blue Jeans' hit song Hippy Hippy Shake has a simple, catchy and repetitive chorus that is instantly recognisable. The lyrics invite the listener to join in and shake their body to the left and the right with all their might, using the phrase "hippy hippy shake" as a metaphor for letting loose and having fun. The singer claims to have this shake in the bag, which suggests that it is a skill or a state of mind that he possesses and can share with others. The phrase "get my thrills now" emphasises the hedonistic and energetic nature of the hippy hippy shake, which is presented as a way to escape from boredom and routine.
The opening lines "For goodness sakes, I got the hippy hippy shake" express surprise, delight and enthusiasm at having discovered this new dance or attitude. The use of the exclamation "Ow!" in the final verses reinforces the idea that the hippy hippy shake is a joyful and liberating experience that can be expressed vocally and physically. The structure of the song is simple and repetitive, with verses that lead into the chorus and a basic rhythm that encourages dancing and clapping.

Впервые в этом исполнении я услышал Hippy Shakes в 1965-1967 году и этот вариант просто сразил меня наповал!!!! Я слушал его по десятку раз на дню ежедневно и вот спустя более 50-ти лет отыскал эту запись!!! УРА!!! Спасибо этой группе и пусть память о ней не меркнет!!!
@tambovrodina5719
Я тоже.

Мощная вещь! Величайшая! Мёртвого оживит , да ещё и спляшет.

Аналогично! Тоже самое, в 1965-1967 г. знакомый парень привёз из Кисловодска такую ... "пластинку". Типа открытка с каким-то покрытием.

Понятия не имею. Песня была записана на почтовой открытке. Тогда в СССР портативный магнитофон был редкостью. Были какие-то мини-студии звукозаписи, на почтовую открытку наносился какой-то состав, прошивалось отверстие посередине и записывалась одна песня. Можно было так же записать "звуковое письмо." Приятель мне привёз из города Кисловодска открытку с записью этой песни.
Jag har ingen aning. Låten spelades in på ett vykort. Sedan i Sovjetunionen var en bärbar bandspelare en sällsynthet. Det fanns några miniinspelningsstudior, en del komposition applicerades på ett vykort, ett hål sys i mitten och en låt spelades in. Det var också möjligt att spela in ett " ljudbrev."En vän tog med mig ett vykort från staden Kislovodsk med en inspelning av den här låten.
