Shake Your Hips

A June 18, 1966, "Spotlight Singles" review in Billboard magazine included "Harpo follows up his hit 'Baby Scratch My Back' with two blues-based sides. Dance-teaching tune is backed by a solid blues weeper with harmonica backing". The review predicted that the single would reached the top 60 of the magazine's Hot 100 singles chart, however, it stalled at number 116 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart for July 23, 1966. Hawkins notes "It seems that 'Shake Your Hips' was a more influential disc than its chart position indicated, and it sold widely over a long period". ==The Rolling Stones version==

The Rolling Stones recorded the song for their album Exile on Main St.. It was Mick Jagger's idea to record it for the album. The Stones recorded this in London, but reworked it at Keith Richards' villa in the South of France, where the band was staying on their "exile." It was recorded to sound like a '50s record. ==Other renditions==

The song has been recorded by many artists, including Love Sculpture for their 1968 album Blues Helping. Other renditions include those by The Dream Syndicate on Out of the Grey (1997 release), the Legendary Shack Shakers on ''Cockadoodledon't (2003) and Joan Osborne on Bring It On Home'' (2012). ==References==
