Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

And... I'll bet you already know who wrote that...
Oh the embarrassment, I don't know who wrote it!
Nice tune, thanks for finding it! They're right, it IS all about the bass. Only if you play bass, of course. But if you do, you know it's all about the song.
SHOCKING
It's not by Bruce, it's a Tom Waits tune from the 'Heartattack and Vine' album. Written for his wife.
For me this was her number two right after "Come on take another piece of my heart now baby."
NO TREBLE !! ":O}
I couldn't find the exact lyrics as the young ladies cleaned them up to better suit the venue.. But here's the original (I think!) lyrics.
"All About That Bass"
Because you know I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass... bass... bass... bass
Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't no size two
But I can shake it, shake it, like I'm supposed to do
'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places
I see the magazine workin' that Photoshop
We know that shit ain't real, come on now, make it stop
If you got beauty, beauty, just raise 'em up
'Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top
Yeah, my mama she told me "don't worry about your size"
(Shoo wop wop, sha-ooh wop wop)
She says, "Boys like a little more booty to hold at night"
(That booty, uh, that booty booty)
You know I won't be no stick figure silicone Barbie doll
(Shoo wop wop, sha-ooh wop wop)
So if that's what you're into, then go 'head and move along
Because you know I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass... Hey!
I'm bringing booty back
Go 'head and tell them skinny bitches that
No, I'm just playing, I know you think you're fat
But I'm here to tell you...
Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top
Yeah my mama she told me, "don't worry about your size"
(Shoo wop wop, sha-ooh wop wop)
She says, "Boys like a little more booty to hold at night"
(That booty booty, uh, that booty booty)
You know I won't be no stick figure, silicone Barbie doll
So if that's what you're into, then go 'head and move along
Because you know I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass...
Because you know I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I said I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass...
Because you know I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass, no treble

'Bout that bass... Hey!
I'm all about that bass
'Bout that bass... Hey!
I'm all about that bass
Bout that bass...
Hey!
Yeah yeah... ohh... You know you like this bass... Hey...
This song truly blows me away. It speaks of a pain few of us can even imagine. lost treasures never to be reclaimed..
Step into another mans life..be be prepared for his pain. Every word carries meaning and every meaning must be endured.
From the Bone Machine Album.
Well the Ice Man's mule is parked
Outside the bar
Where a man with missing fingers
Plays a strange guitar
And the German dwarf
Dances with the butcher's son
And tonight a little rain never hurt no one
They're dancing on the roof
And the ceiling's coming down
And I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves
And a little trouble makes it worth the going
And a little rain never hurt no one
Oh, the world is round
And I'll go around
You must risk something that matters
My hands are strong
I'll take any man here
If it's worth the going
It's worth the ride
She was 15 years old
And she'd never seen the ocean
She climbed into a van
With a vagabond
And the last thing she said
Was "I love you Mom"
And a little rain
Never hurt no one
And a little rain
Never hurt no one

This song is from one of the few movies I never pass on a chance to see again.
Each viewing passes as serenely as the Desert where the only things that can move are the things that must move for it to be a desert.
This song has haunted my dreams for decades now. They are always good dreams, dry and unencumbered by negative emotion.

We've been here before. Were here now because I have a problem letting go.
I think it takes a kind of courage even for professionals to step out on a stage
With only your talent and training to sustain you. However great the rewards the treat of failure can cripple the naturally shy among us.
This lady put a spell on me, I can't quite break loose of her, hell I can't even want to.":O}

The bass they are referring to sits a'top of their legs.
"No treble, so if that's what your into you better move along."
Charmed, I can't deny it!

Knock me over with a leaf, I wouldn't have guessed the writer in many years of trying to.
But a world of music with only bass would be terrible. Every musicians duty is to make all of the other musicians sound good. And of course having an ace on bass is a lovely thing.
