SHAKE , RATTLE AND ROLL

            

«Shake, Rattle and Roll» es una canción de Blues de doce compases en forma de rock and roll, escrita en 1954 por Jesse Stone bajo su seudónimo de compositor Charles E. Calhoun. Fue grabado originalmente por Big Joe Turner, y con más éxito de Bill Haley & His Comets. La canción cantada por Big Joe Turner está en el puesto n º 126 de la lista de las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos de la revista Rolling Stone. Bill Haley decidió sustituir algunos pasajes de la letra por considerarlos demasiado " picantes " así al inicio cuando el original dice Sal de esa cama, lávate la cara y las manos : Get outta that bed , wash your face and hands se  tranformó en ; sal de esa cocina y haz sonar esas ollas y cacerolas... como podéis ver y oir más abajo..... Sin embargo en otro de los pasajes en donde quizá se está más cerca del mal gusto , no los toca ni un ápice , así podemos oir ... Soy como un gato tuerto husmeando en un almacén de pescado ..... aún cuando el propio Bill aseguró en una entrevista , en mis temas procuramos evitar cualquier cosa que sea sugerente . I' m like a one-eyed cat peepin'in a seafood store ...........

                                             



Shake Rattle and Roll
Bill Haley
Get out from that kitchen
And rattle those pots and pans
Get out from that kitchen
And rattle those pots and pans
Well, roll my breakfast
'Cause I'm a hungry man
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
Well, you'll never do nothing
To save your doggone soul
Wearing those dresses
Your hair done up so nice
Wearing those dresses
Your hair done up so nice
You look so warm
But your heart is cold as ice
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
I said, shake, rattle, and roll
Well, you'll never do nothing
To save your doggone soul
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
I'm like a one-eyed cat
Peeping in a sea food store
I'm like a one-eyed cat
Peeping…

Shake rattle and roll
Big Joe Turner

Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Get outta that bed, wash your face and hands
Well, you get in that kitchen, make some noise with the pots and pans

Well, you wear low dresses, the sun comes shining through
Well, you wear low dresses, the sun comes shining through
I can't believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you

I believe to my soul you're a devil in nylon hose
I believe to my soul you're a devil in nylon hose
Well, the harder I work, the faster my money goes

I said, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul

I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
I'm like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood store
Well, I can look at you and tell you ain't no child no more

Ah, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul

I said, over the hill and way down underneath
I said, over the hill and way down underneath
You make me roll my eyes, Baby, make me grit my teeth

I said, shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Shake, rattle and roll, shake, rattle and roll
Well, you won't do right to save your doggone soul
