"Shout and Shimmy" is an R&B song written by James Brown and recorded by him and The Famous Flames. Douglas Wolk describes it as "a truly shameless ripoff of The Isley Brothers' 1959 hit "Shout"... basically the fast parts of 'Shout' with the gospel inflections removed and the word 'shimmy' added." [Wolk, Douglas. (2004). "Live at the Apollo", 30-31. New York: Continuum Books.] The song rose to #16 on the R&B chart and #61 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Cover version

The Who recorded a cover version of "Shout and Shimmy" that was released as the B-side of their "My Generation" single in the UK. They are seen performing the song in the documentary film "The Kids Are Alright".
