Shake Your Hips ~ The Rolling Stones

[figbat1]

PLEASE READ MY COMMENTS BELOW

can you work them out?

[figbat1]

i came up with a theory that involves the book of genesis (fig leaves) buddha (sitting under the bodhi fig tree) jesus (many sayings about figs) ross horne's book (new health revolution) and science (figs are the most important source of food for fruit eating rainforest animals). i then experimented on the figs by eating mainly dried figs (same brand) for over 6 years now and found cycles which i related to the numbers in psgs 11/12 of the book of revelations. this theory has gone everywhere.

[figbat1]

so far i have had eliminations at days 504, 840, 1176, 1512, 1848, 2184, and expect my 7th at day 2520. today is day 2496. i have definitely found something. i am not lying. what i have discovered has gone around the world and many songs have been written about it....the foo fighters' last 3 albums...."vertigo" by U2 (my first name is phil)....coldplays' last 3 albums. an elimination is a day when you experience strong flu-like symptoms and feel terrible. bad stuff is washed out of your body.

[figbat1]

in australia ross hornes' books have been remvoed from the libraries and the bookshops.

in memory of mr glimmer twins and his penchant for golden gaytime icecreams....collecting photos of bobby brown and paulus the wood gnome thomas....and telling every stranger he meets "dave grohl and the fooies are the new beatles and they are so fab"

[ishanbisht]

shake your hipp....po po poooo

[reforest4fertility]

This is a way better song than La Grange, and this preceded it, ahem

[detretrop]

ROOM WAS SPREADN ROUND IN THAT TEXAS TOWN.I'M JUST SAYING.WHO WAS FIRST

[vitamincity]

Look, yes ZZ Top took the riff from the Stones, it doesn't matter. Most blues music is just recycled anyways. The only thing that's supposed to matter with the blues are the lyrics.

[brandonlace]

@vitamincity how many variations of a 12 bar E blues can you make anyway lol.

[jonahtran1]

@vitamincity False. The only thing that's supposed to matter in the blues is the feeling. Blues lyrics are probably the simplest ever. "Baby Please don't go back to New Orleans, you know I love you so baby please don't go." Haha. And the Stones knew this.

[vitamincity]

@jonahtran1 Yeah, you're right.

[HardRockBros000]

zz top la grange? o.ò

[probrojeffro]

Somebodies ripping off somebodies riff, ripping off somebodies riff .. . . Only when music became a product did everyone begin talking that crap. Well hell, now with Youtube and MP3s and open sharing I do hope music goes back to sharing rather than all that narrow minded, stupid who ripped off who crap. Grow up!

[DIExFORxAxCOOKIE]

:O I thought I heard la grange..

well I don't care who came up with it, I think it would be better if they all be open and share those awesome riffs !

Love both songs :D

[signalsoldier]

John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen" and Slim Harpo's "Shake Your Hips." both pre date this version. ZZ Top and the Stone generously use these rifts but listen to both songs and they both give knods to the originators. They clearly mention Slim's name in this song and La Grande actually use the lyrics to Hooker's Boom Boom

[torepunktemeister]

@signalsoldier Don't forget Fried Hockey Boogie of Canned Heat (1968), also a big influence.

[BavonWW]

Is this a remix because it feels wrong. Wish they would just leave stuff alone

[keef186]

I remember first listening to Exile on Main Street when I was about 15, and loving this song instantly. It's so raw and dirty it really does soound like it was recorded in a dark, sweaty basement.

[Horaciow14]

I love how this song feels like it is going to build up but it never does.

[fcotton3]

ketamine



[dannyd1572]

ZZ Top should be charged with plagerism. If that song doesn't sound exactly like this I don't know what does. Pathetic.

[nomarnd]

@dannyd1572 guess you are extremely unfamiliar with the blues

[dannyd1572]

@dannyd1572 Umm La Grange?????

[ElijahMFearon]

@dannyd1572 this was before La Grange

[dannyd1572]

@ElijahMFearon I know...that's what I mean. Read my above post about ZZ Top and plagerism. It sounds just like Shake Your Hips. However, it was Keith Richards who inducted them into the Hall Of Fame so he must not be too pissed :)

[TGPotet]

@dannyd1572 The copyright holder of Boogie Chillen actually sued ZZ Top, but the courts decided that it was public domain. :3

I guess John Lee Hooker was more pissed at the copyright holder, tho.

[howtosuckatX]

@dannyd1572 i thought that 2 the first time i heard this

[jlhyz2]

this riff came from the great john Lee Hooker's Boogie chillen

[jlhyz2]

Check out the original by Slim Harpo. Both versions are great.

[foxiedragg20]

Has to be one of my favorite songs by the Stones!

[shelbykinsGO]

Shake shake shake shake it NOW.

[Pedrosbosson]

I iz gone man . .solid goneeeee

[BZiurSerolf]

the same old trick, the same rock & roll, but i like it

[truontofriitz]

zz top: la grange?

[XXXthingthingxxX]

beer drinkin, good time spendin, foot stompin music!

[spider18241]

@XXXthingthingxxX

I hope your aware having 3 "X"s in your name means you're straight edge.. lol.

[diegocepacol]

makes me want another beer!

[xxxXGuNzXxxx]

Satch Boogie

[xX718flaco718Xx]

you guys need to eductae yourselves on John Mayall & The Blues Breakers. eric Clapton BEFORE Cream. thats blues for u 2 jam 2...

[tonypap1]

It's ironic that this (Exile) is their best album and yet NONE of the so-called Stones classics are on this album (ie, those that you hear at the family party).

[TheRedpeadar]

@tonypap1 tumbling dice cool

[peruvianwolfe]

rolling stones are so much awesome

[MegaBeatle69]

exile on main st is the best stones album on my list!!!!!!!!!!

[WilkyMay609]

@MegaBeatle69  I agree with you.

[TheRedpeadar]

@MegaBeatle69 must be a small list

[MegaBeatle69]

this is one of the greatest songs on the album besides rocks off and turd on the run

[MrCeej9999]

@MegaBeatle69

RIP THIS JOINT!

[shanehenning26]

great song

[TheCouleur3]

zz top la grange a la fassons rolling stones

[TheACDCover]

i love this crocodile rock :-)

[sirronald69]

* * * * *

[Metalhead001122]

wait so was this a cover?

[bouletiful]

@Metalhead001122 This is not a cover!

[LedZeppelin827]

@bouletiful yes it is, it was originally done by slim harpo

[soniadelcroix]

MADE IN FRANCE!

[Metakism]

@soniadelcroix

:)!!

[Metakism]

Thats why they are Great Rolling Stones,the Legends Of Rock N Roll!!!!

[shanehenning26]

great song

[reverendflash]

@UKRod

It's my understanding that the original decision was later overturned and John Lee Hooker got paid.

[scastaneda109]

Now idn't that easy?

[cucarachaw323]

chida rola!!!!!

[srabx]

FUCK THAT STUPPID

[hapzap13]

THE BLUES !!!!!!!!!

[ioriorioriorio]

In the overall over reaching span of time, I'd say that I find the stones much more interesting than the trad. blues......I like all those old delta men, but the stones took this art form and brought it into a whole different vibe...they breathed life into something that was all but dead.....although, I think keith should give up the smoking habit.

[brandonlace]

@ioriorioriorio nicotine is more addictive than heroine lol.

[SeeeEmilyPlayy]

Is it just me, or does this sound a lot like La Grange to you?

[SixtiesMusicWasBest]

@SeeeEmilyPlayy It does not, on the other hand La Grange sounds pretty much like Shake your hips ;)

[MultiDannyboy89]

@SeeeEmilyPlayy now we see where that song came from.

[mrflex83]

great song

[boreese1]

la grange sucks, the stones are the best

[boreese1]

stones are the best screw la grange

[Californiway]

La Grange?

[fahyification]

Faggots

[Flinh02]

big song of blues i love

[sandezki]

HELL YEAH!!!!

R´minds me of the summer of 2002..

[pustohod]

kinda lousy in compare with Slim Harpo's rockin and jumpin original. and yes, la grange beats stones version of shake your hips

[steveconn]

Bullshit.

[mrstrawjr]

el mejor album de los STONES

[Guedingen]

Lonny Donegan-meets-Papa doc-meets- Slim Harpo-meets...

That album is a timeless masterpeice

[winniefifa]

la grange is a fuckin' copy of this song

[LittleUkuleleMonster]

i have nothing against the stones but i prefer la grange tbh :)

[jimmyp73]

@winniefifa this song is a copy of john lee hooker for that matter

[Sanches2112]

Um dos melhores álbuns de sempre, na história dos Stones. Tenho o original em vinil.

[YodaOz]

Grant Walmsley (from the Screaming Jets) and his band The Agents of Peace do the best cover of this song by far!

[mitchakotaco]

Robert Randolph's is pretty ballin too. i saw him an his version kills with the Family band.

[walrustusks]

They don't make albums like this one anymore. I "stole" it when it first came out and played it continuously for 6 months or more.

[MrAlvarosantiagoferr]

fuck you eles são a maior banda da história! está feito!

[walrustusks]

do what MrAlvarosantiagoferr???? do what????? Sprechen die English bitte

[Princeboy99]

You talking about "La Grange"?

[MrAlvarosantiagoferr]

fuck you sgt peppers!!!!!!!!!!

[MrAlvarosantiagoferr]

the best record of all times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gigglegigggle]

YES

[janina568]

Das Cover von The Bosshoss ist um Längen besser. Nicht so lahmarschig und genuschelt.

[Actros1849]

finde ich auch so

[marcusmalmros]

what do you mean? She loves me yeah yeah?

[marcusmalmros]

yeah yeah

[marcusmalmros]

you mean la grange sounds like this, this song was made before the zz top la grange

[xcetia37]

This is the only song from this fantasmic album that i actually dislike. The song gets repetitive and annoying real quick.

[tonyspanish]

great song

[poodle720]

God bless rock n roll. fuck hip hop. This is the stones at their best.

[ebhe0806am]

kicks tallbot

[bacardibum]

anyone else think that the opening riff of la grange sounds a lot like this?

[stevo4es]

like everyone else said...common blues riff....

[Blink182plus44equ226]

@stevo4es This one is played an octave higher though.

[MrCeej9999]

@stevo4es

I'd say 30% of all songs written are based on a well known Blues Riffs

Jonnie B Goode is little more than a pretty simple, old, blues riff, with a lot of fancy guitar over it.

[happyexpectations]

this was supposed to be the inspiration for La Grange, though yes a common style, I think this is what inspired themm

[Boutartega]

Check these:

Slim Harpo - Shake Your Hips

John Lee Hooker - Boogie Chillen

Booker T & the MG's - green onions

ZZ Top - La Grange

Canned Heat - Shake and Boogie

[IvoryPhil]

Don´t forget Bruce Willis Band :)

[postmill1088]

Also, "Howlin for My Baby" by George Thorogood.

[joewpar]

@Boutartega

They're all good!

[sabresfan36]

anyone else think that the opening riff sounds like La Grange by ZZ Top?

[BehindThatLockedDoor]

yeah I just thought the same

[swilliams9511]

@sabresfan36 no effing way!

[PAULOcbi]

shake it,foxy!

[TDKIII]

Slim Harpo was around in the 50s and 60s, not the 20s...he was only born in 1924

[vintageclassicnebula]

Rumour spreadin around in that texas town

bout that shake outside la grange

And you know what Im talkin about

[canisapien]

That's the first thing I thought too... it's a classic dirty blues riff - hundreds of songs use it. This song was written in the 20's by Slim Harpo.
