Eddie Money confirms that his song “Shakin'” includes one of George Carlin’s seven dirty words
Wordpress ^ | August 29, 2019 | Dan from Squirrel Hill

In 1982, Eddie Money had a hit on the radio and MTV with his song “Shakin’.”

Today, most online sources cite one of the song’s lyrics as:

We did some shakin’ ’til the end of the night.

But long before the internet existed, I knew that the words were something else.

The rest of this is redacted due to profanity. See link for the rest: https://danfromsquirrelhill.wordpress.com/2019/08/29/eddie-money/

Pretty clearly "did some shakin'" to my ear. Methinks ol' Eddie is just looking for some late-career publicity.

Shakin'

Eddie is currently suffering from stage 4 esophageal cancer and is probably not long for this world. He could use all of our prayers to accept Jesus as his Savior if he has not done so already.

For those who wish to not got to the blog...

What you probably heard as

“We did some shaking til the middle of the night”

Is really

“Her t*** were shaking til the middle of the night”

You’re welcome.

I've always....always heard the lyric as "Her t**s were shakin' "

Also wondered how it got past the censors.

Even Charlie Daniels' "Devil Went Down to Georgia" had a radio version that had "son of a bit** dubbed over as "son of a gun".

“Her t*** were shaking til the middle of the night”

That's always what I heard on the song.

In post 4 I linked to the portion of the video that the article said it occurred. It is clearly “did” to my ears. I was in my early 20s when that song was popular and at that point of my life I probably could have heard the word “t*ts” somewhere in virtually every sentence I heard. I never heard it in that song, though.

I used to do the song in karaoke.

They listed the lyrics as “we did some shaking”

It was the same lyrics company that showed “you son of a b!tch” in The Devil Went Down To Georgia and “Funky sh!t” instead of “Funky kicks” in Jet Airliner, so I always thought I was hearing something that wasn’t there.

Now we know.

This is an old trick. Listen to the Clash song where they sing “Rock the Casbah”. They aren’t always saying “rock”

Steve Miller’s “Jet Airliner”, 1977.

Some songs had edited versions for the public airwaves. In this day and age it almost seems quaint.

I always heard that as, "F*ck the cash bar." :-)

THIS is the entre Song Verse that is now missing whenever you hear Money For Nothing by Dire Straits on the Radio, even on XM / SIRIUS. No profanity, just more PC nonsense.

See the little faggot with the earring and the make up
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he’s a millionaire

No, you don’t have to post it as clickbait. Here’s all you gotta do.

You’re welcome.

**************

Today, most online sources cite one of the song’s lyrics as:

We did some shakin’ ’til the end of the night.

But long before the internet existed, I knew that the words were something else.

And Money recently verified to Rolling Stone magazine what I had known all along. Here’s an excerpt from their recent interview of him. (The bolding is from the original.)

In “Shakin’,” there’s an ostensibly “misheard” lyric where you sing “Her t*ts were shakin’,” but come on, you were definitely saying that, right?

You know what? Nobody noticed it and [my manager] Bill Graham was so, so pissed off at me because he said that could’ve been a Top Five single, and “you and your sophomoric f***ing b******t, now I can’t get it on the radio.” But when I talked to people, they go, “I loved it when you said that! Wow!”

You didn’t make a clean radio version?

No, there was never a radio version because nobody caught it til the end. Yeah, I said it and I thought it was funny, but in the long run I wish I wouldn’t have said it because that record probably would’ve went double platinum. But I thought it was funny. You know how it is, you know?

To get a song with “tits” in it played on the radio? I don’t.

I was high. I didn’t give a s**t. I said it. Who cares?

Here’s the video of the song. Skip to 1:02 for the relevant part:
