Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's when I get the shakes all over me
Quivers down my back bone
I've got the shakes down the kneebone
Yeah, havin' the tremors in the thighbone
Shakin' all over
Just the way you say goodnight to me
Quivers down my back bone
I've got the shivers down the thighbone
Yeah, the tremors in my back bone
Shakin' all over
Quivers down my back bone
Yeah, I have the shakes in the kneebone
I've got the tremors in the back bone
Shakin' all over
Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
The Pirates' song "Shakin" is a classic rock and roll tune that captures the excitement and thrill of being in love. The lyrics describe the physical sensations that the singer experiences when he is close to his lover - he gets "the shakes" all over his body, "quivers" down his "back bone," "tremors" in his "thigh bone" and "kneebone." He even has "shivers" down his "thighbone," emphasizing the intensity of his feelings.
The repetition of the phrase "shakin' all over" in the chorus serves to reiterate the singer's physical and emotional state. It emphasizes the fact that this experience is not just a passing feeling, but a visceral, deeply affecting sensation that he cannot shake.

I'm a Japanese teenager girl.
My favorite Japanese guitarist respected Mick Green.
So I learned about Johnny Kidd & The Pirates.
I wanted to listen to various songs from this band and I bought the best album CD
And now I like it!
There are very few Japanese who are aware of it
So I think that it would be better if the goodness of this is conveyed to them.
(Maybe my English is something wrong.
But please don't care about it.)
