Artist: spellcheck & spyro (spespy) Composer: Leanne Lyricist: Laina Product Code: CACD-00001 Release date: 2006.03.08 Debut Ranking: #1 Label: Channel Ai Productions

Who ever said art has its limitations? And why should anyone simply stick to one genre? And ladies and gentlemen, this is the beauty of sHaKy LeGs, the very first single released from the label, Channel Ai Productions. This single certainly has variation, attitude and humour at one go so I suggest you won’t let this one slip through your fingers.

1. sHaKy LeGs (Original ver.)

sHaKy LeGs deceivingly starts out with a dark and menancing tone as if the singer is threatening the listener. However the mood suddenly disrupted when a kiddish voice breaks in squealing “EVERYBODY, SHAKE YOUR LEGS!” which will take anybody aback. The genre quickly switches to country with a hint of folk. The mood is more uplifting and lively with spellie ocassionally screaming into the microphone but it gradually slows down into rap where spyro gets funkier and funkier till his voice gets distorted… In the end the song switches to country and as the song slows down to the end spyro and spellie have the last word together. Quite a bizarre track indeed with a unique funky edge which will probably leave you scratching your head in confusion but trust me, this song will grow on you like fungus.

2. sHaKy LeGs (Outtake ver.)

To be honest I have really enjoyed this version. It’s similar to the original version but has a more spontaneous and silly touch to it. Vocals aren’t exactly the best but I really enjoyed the rap part where the distorted vocals sound like some alien’s poor attempt at rapping. Trust me these are simply ridiculous but totally amusing. Also the random obnoxious sounds thrown in randomly give this song a lot of life and humour.

3. sHaKy LeGs (Instrumental ver.)

Conclusion

Overall I’ve really enjoyed this single. For a first single it’s really well made and it’s pretty obvious that a lot of work has been put through it. I’ve really enjoyed how spyro’s and spellie’s voice blended together really well to make this duet flow really well. Also the lyrics were pure genius, quite witty and well thought, while the composition was simply a professional piece which flowed so well that I was really impressed after listening to the instrumental version alone.

Overall Rating:

This single was a cover of eyn’s original single and was released commemorating his birthday.

Lyrics

(You gotta breathe hard until your legs are shaking
Do you really need another cheeseburger, fatty?
Can I borrow your bike?
I like your moustache
All the bimbos on the floor!
EVERYBODY, SHAKE YOUR LEGS!)

sHaKy LeGs, oh sHaKy LeGs
How we do love you so
You are so cool
And you’re cooler than the snow

When we’re around you
Laughing is unstoppable
You make us laugh more than
A rhinoceros on a cable

You’re so skilled
And pwn us all
Probably pwn us so much
We get knocked in the head and fall

sHaKy LeGs, oh sHaKy LeGs
You rock our socks
You’re really “good stuff”
And you’re definitely not bullocks

When we’re talking to you
Lots of LMAOing occurs
You teach us really neat stuff
Even FileZilla file transfers

You’re so smart
And have xoned everybody and their mom
Quantum physics ain’t no threat
And you might have been to Vietnam!

sHaKy LeGs, oh sHaKy LeGs
You’re just too great
You love Miranda
And yes, you’re straight

Yo, where’s the nearest McDonald’s?

Yo, yo, yo, come on
Da shiny mountain iz in da house yo, oh ya
So you betta get ya Flickr out, oh ya
And we’re guna party till our teeth are out, oh ya
Yo, yo, yo, oh yeah, come on, eyn rules, oh ya

Channeru ai ai ai, oh yeah
It’s betta than pie pie pie, oh yeah
This isn’t a lie lie lie, oh yeah
And it’s all cuz of eyn eyn eyn, oh yeah

sHaKy LeGs, oh sHaKy LeGs
How we do love you so
You are so cool
And you’re cooler than the snow
(EVERYBODY NOW!)

sHaKy LeGs, oh sHaKy LeGs
You rock our socks
You’re really “good stuff”
And you’re definitely not bullocks
(ONE MORE TIME!)
