I love this little GIF of Wednesday Addams busting out some James Brown-like moves as Lurch looks on. As we’re approaching Halloween in a few days, it seemed like a fitting accompaniment to this week’s Sunday music. It also fits the music as well. I found myself watching her feet intently as the song played and it just seemed to mesh perfectly with the click-clack of the percussion. You be the judge.
This week’s song is from the Rolling Stones‘ classic 1972 album, Exile on Main Street. The song is their enhanced cover of the song, Shake Your Hips, from bluesman Slim Harpo. This was not the first time the Stones (along with many other rock bands) had covered a Slim Harpo song. They did a great version of his I’m a King Bee on their debut LP in 1964. But in 1972 the Stones were at their peak and this song just became part of who they were, feeling like it was their own work and not a cover.
Anyway, give a listen and keep your eyes on Wednesday’s feet. Hope this gets your Sunday rocking. After all, it is, as every rock radio station in the world will remind us, still Rocktober.
Have a great day.
