Shakin' All Over

Shakin' All Over is a rock and roll song originally performed by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates.  It was written by frontman Johnny Kidd and reached No1 in the UK in August 1960. Johnny Kidd is quoted as saying: 

'When I was going round with a bunch of lads and we happened to see a girl who was a real sizzler we used to say that she gave us ‘quivers down the membranes’. It was a standard saying with us referring to any attractive girl…..I can honestly say that it was this more than anything that inspired me to write ‘Shakin’ All Over’."

The song has been performed many times by The Who, perhaps most famously on Live at Leeds in 1970.
