"Hippy Hippy Shake" began life in as a minor hit single for Chan Romero. Although it's the only song Romero's remembered for -- if anyone remembers the original version at this point -- it's a quite dynamic song in its first incarnation, one of many songs that gives the lie to the myth that ferocious rock'n'roll died by early

"Hippy, Hippy, Shake" is their big hit. Along with "Shaking All Over", a few other songs that are certainly Mersey Beat are "It's Too Late Now" and "Promise You'll Tell Her" - the Liverpool harmonies, the major/minor chord syncopated transitions, the piano/guitar leads and the bass/drums back beat.
