FLAMIN GROOVIES - "shake some action" Tablature
Official FLAMIN GROOVIES Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: zeroy@netcom.com (Roy M. Randall)
This might just be the greatest dumb garage-rock song ever written.
Sometimes you hear people talk about 'believing in rock n' roll'. You
have to beleive in something to sing this song with a straight face. I
prefer to sing it with an adolescent snarl.
SHAKE SOME ACTION
Jordan/Wilson

If you don't dig what I say
Then I will go away.
And I won't come back this again. No.
'Cause I don't need a friend.
(refrain)
(guitar solo again)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FLAMIN GROOVIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
