yeah the Olympics to' it up when I was a kid. I just loved the rhythms and backup vocals and this song kicked my ass, because I'm a player and it's very difficult to tell exactly what's going on musically. I THINK they're saying, 'push pull push pull shimmy shimmy north south east west etc. but this is an old razzmatazz song from the 20's and it don't sound like this, they put plenty of their own mojo on it.
It's a real shame that they only cracked the Top 40 with "Western Movies". Others that should have been up there were "Shimmy Like Kate", "Dance By The Light Of The Moon", "Big Boy Pete", "The Bounce", and more.
loved them while in regular highschool

My favorite Olympics 45. "Workin' Hard" on the flip side is a goodie too.

These guys were 'BAD'. This was my favorite. They never got the credit that they deserve.

I'm pretty sure the producer was Fred Smith, he produced most of LA's R&B acts late 50s & 60s.

The Beatles did this in Hamburg. But although they were the best band in the world...they buggered it good and proper!!!
