Shakin' All Over
The Guess Who Lyrics

The lyrics to The Guess Who's song "Shakin' All Over" describe the singer's physical reaction to someone he is attracted to. When the person moves in close to him, he gets chills all over his body and feels shivers down his spine. He describes the physical sensations he is feeling, such as quivering in his back bone, shakes in his thigh bone, and shivers in his knee bone, all of which are causing him to shake all over. The way the person says goodnight to him also intensifies these feelings, making him shake even more.

The song is a classic example of rock and roll music from the 1960s, with its upbeat rhythm and simple, catchy lyrics. The song was a big hit when it was released in 1965, reaching the top ten on the charts in both the US and the UK. It has since become a beloved classic, covered by many artists over the years.

One interesting fact about "Shakin' All Over" is that it was written by a Canadian musician named Johnny Kidd, who originally released the song with his band, the Pirates, in 1960. The Guess Who's version of the song was actually a cover, but it became much more popular than the original.

Another interesting fact is that the song has been covered by many other artists, including The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Iggy Pop. Each artist brought their own unique style to the song, making it a versatile and enduring classic.
