Interesting facts and trivia about Shakin'. By Songfacts®.

In this song, Eddie Money sings about a wild night with a reckless gal. She takes him for a ride in her daddy's car, blows out the speakers and gets high. Later on, she treats him to a strip tease. The whole time, there's plenty of shakin' going on.

Money wrote this song with his bass player, Ralph Carter, and with Elizabeth Myers, a composer who usually worked on commercials. The album was produced by Tom Dowd, whose illustrious career included production work for Aretha Franklin, The Allman Brothers and Rod Stewart.

The girl in this song is named Rosanna ("Rosanna's daddy had a car she loved to drive"). That was a popular name in 1982, the year Toto released their "Rosanna."
