Well, shake it up baby now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come, come on baby now
Come on and work it on out
Well work it on out, honey
You know you look so good
You know you got me goin' now
Just like I know you would

Well, shake it up baby now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come, come on baby now
Come on and work it on out
You know you twist, little girl
You know you twist so fine
Come on and twist a little closer now
And let me know that you're mine, woo

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Yeah, shake it up baby now
Twist and shout
Come on, come on, come, come on baby now
Come on and work it on out
You know you twist, little girl
You know you twist so fine
Come on and twist a little closer now
And let me know that you're mine
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, baby now
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, baby now
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, baby now
Ah, ah, ah, ah

    My Interpretation:Obviously Johnny Rebel gave his first and best vocal performance in Twist and Shout. When a cover is not a cover. The Beatles changed the world. John Lennon was never a taker-he loved to give. He still is rock & roll personified! Rock in Peace Johnny Rebel! Beatles Forever!!

    General Comment:I am a huge Beatles fan, and I have been for my entire life...little known fact about this song though...when they recorded this song...the band was tired, and John's vocals were almost gone. Whenever they would play this one live...John would practically be screaming the vocals on it. Its a great song.

    Memory:I remember hearing this song on the radio about four or five years ago. It was the first Beatles song I ever remember hearing. From the minute I heard it, I fucking loved it. I still do. It's awesome.
