About Rump Shaker

"Rump Shaker" is a song by American hip-hop group Wreckx-N-Effect. It was released in August 1992 as the lead single from their second album Hard or Smooth. It features production and guest vocals from Teddy Riley, brother of Wreckx member Markell Riley. Due to the massive success of Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You," the song did not advance further than No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts. Nevertheless, it peaked at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Singles, and No. 9 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts. The chorus of the 2008 single, "Paper Planes" by British musician M. I. A. was widely speculated to be based on the chorus, although the song's writers are not credited.

It's called the rump shaker, the beats is like sweeter than candy
I'm feelin manly and your shaker's comin in handy
Slide em across(??) from New York down by your Virginia
Ticklin you around Delware before I enter

Turn to seduction from face hips to feet
A wiggle and a jiggle can make the night complete
Now since you got the body of the year, come and get the award
Here's a hint - it's like a long sharp sword

Flip tail, so let me see you shake it up like dice
The way you shake your rump is turnin mighty men to mice
But A Plus got a surprise that's a back breaker
Now let me see you shake your rump like a rump shaker

Of the track 'bout the honey shakin rumps and they backs in
Booties of the cuties steady shakin but relaxin

Beats bound to get you up, cold flowin like a faucet
Not mean to make you sit, not mean to make you jump
But yep make the hotties in the party shake your rump

Come on, pass the poom poom, send it to POPPA
Shake it baby shake it baby shake it don't STOPPA

Let me see you do the booty hop (HOP)
