"Shake Your Love" (Atlantic 89187, Atlantic UK A9187) is the second single by American singer-songwriter-actress Deborah Gibson, and the leadoff single for her album "Out of the Blue" (LP 81780). Originally recorded in the spring of 1987 for the "Dream Tour," the song is written by Gibson herself and produced by Fred Zarr and engineered by Don Feinberg for BiZarr Music, Inc., with Douglas Breitbart as executive producer ("see also Debbie Gibson"). It reached number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart at the end of 1987 and was her breakthrough single in the U.K., reaching number seven in early 1988.

The music video to support this single, eventually included on Gibson's video album "Out of the Blue" (Atlantic VHS 50123) was set on a facsimile of a drive-in movie theater lot and choreographed by Paula Abdul.

Criticism

Comedian Bill Hicks commented on Gibson and "Shake Your Love" in his "Sane Man" performance. Most notably, the quote "What love are you shaking, Debbie? You're twelve!"
