"Shakin'" is a song by American rock singer Eddie Money from his Platinum-certified album No Control , released in 1982. It was co-written by Money, Elizabeth Myers, and Ralph Carter, and released as a single, reaching #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart [1] and #9 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song remains one of Money's most popular among fans.
The video for the single featured actress/model Patricia Kotero, better known as Apollonia, as the female doing the "shakin". She would later go on to co-star in the film Purple Rain .
In 2018, Money confirmed a longstanding theory to Rolling Stone magazine that the song did indeed include the word "tits" ("Her tits were shakin' 'til the middle of the night"), even in the version played on the radio. [2]
The song is a playable track on the music video game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s . The song's video was featured on an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head . The duo enjoyed the video, particularly Money's faces while watching Apollonia dance around.
Money performed the song on an episode of The King of Queens episode titled “Eddie Money”.
