My sister rented Bridesmaids tonight, and as the movie was nearing it’s conclusion, I was surprised to hear a killer version of "Shakin’ All Over" by Wanda Jackson. Wanda was a 1950’s Rockabilly singer, dated Elvis, then went into the Gospel field for decades. This great, great song, originally recorded by Englishmen Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, is best known to a lot of people from The Who’s version on the Live At Leeds album. Wanda’s version was produced by Jack White and is on Wanda’s 2011 The Party Ain’t Over album. It is SMOKIN’ hot, almost as good as the 1965 version by The Guess Who. Better than Johnny Kidd’s version, and much better than The Who’s imo kinda lame one.
Following directly behind the song is another using a guitar riff almost identical to the one is Shakin’, Blondie’s "Rip Her To Shreads". This is a live version, and is also great, much better than their studio recording heard earlier in the movie.
