Song of the Day: "Shakin' All Over" by the Guess Who



I heard this song for the first time on a school bus, traveling from Meadville to Warren, Pennsylvania, after a high-school track meet in May of 1965. By the time the song ended, all conversation had been brought to a momentary halt. You’d think that with this kind of stunned-into-silence reaction, the song would have reached the top 10 – and perhaps it climbed this high in regional markets – but it peaked in June at #22 (no bullet) for 2 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100.
