The Hipshake
(Trad: Slim Harop...Arranged by Stewart Cunningham)
Let me tell you 'bout a dance that's goin' around
Everybody's doin' it from the grownup down.
You don't move your head, Don't move your hands,
You don't move your lips, Just shake your hips.
Do the hipshake babe, do the hipshake babe,
Shake your hips babe, shake your hips babe
Now ain’t that easy
If you don't know don't be no threat
Just listen to me and do what I say.
Don't move your head, don't move your hands,
Don't move your lips, just shake your hips.
Do the hipshake babe, do the hipshake babe,
Shake your hips babe, shake your hips babe,
Well ain't that easy
Well, I met a young girl in a country town
She said, "What do you know about Slim Harpo!"
She didn't move her head, she didn't move her hands,
Didn't move her lips child, she shuck her hips.
She did the hipshake babe, she did the hipshake babe,
Shake your hips babe, Shake your hips babe,
Well ain't that easy.
"Every song on ’Silver & Black is a winner, each rich with colour and diversity. It stands as the Leadfinger magnum opus -
and it should rightfully open new doors for the band."
Recorded in a shipping container, the Australian artist's quirky second album is a love letter to 70’s classic rock, folk, and psychedelia. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 15, 2023
