Shake, Rattle and Roll

 

That's the backlog of charity purchases now covered and with the exception of the current series' I am a bit stuck for inspiration.

Don't be surprised then if you log in and there is nothing new to see. To tide us over until the creative juices start flowing I'm gong to focus on some three word phrases and see if I can post songs relating to the words.

As you can see above we are starting with Shake Rattle and Roll.

There are plenty of Shakes to choose from. There are even a couple of bands Alabama Shakes and Th' Legendary Shack Shakes as well as the album by Savage Mansion called The Shakes. And of course how could we forget Shaking Stevens?

From a reasonable number of songs I've gone for Shake a Tail Feather by The Debutants.

Rattle proved trickier. It boiled down to a choice between The Rattler by Goodbye Mr MacKenzie  or Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole & the Commotions. A hard choice but I've gone for the latter.

Plenty of Rolls to choose from but Richard and Linda Thompson got the nod.

Put them altogether and you get Shake, Rattle & Roll by Big Joe Turner which was also the theme tune to a Radio 2 series of the same name hosted by Mark Lamarr.

More three word nonsense shortly.

Lloyd Cole & the Commotions - Rattlesnakes
