The track is also featured in the movie [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. |

The song was included as the sixth track on the album in early September 1989, as planned for release in November 1989. The album was abandoned when [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] wanted to involve the other original members of [[The Time]], but many of the tracks were saved for [[Album: Pandemonium|Pandemonium]] and [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. | The song was included as the sixth track on the album in early September 1989, as planned for release in November 1989.

| + | Interestingly, the '''Boom Mix''' version of [[Shake!]] included on the [[Single: Shake!|maxi-single]] contains vocals by [[Levi Seacer, Jr.]] and samples from songs of the [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]] album ([[Release It]], [[Graffiti Bridge]], [[The Latest Fashion]], [[Shake!]] and [[We Can Funk]]). This technique of introducing the album on a track was also used for [[2 Whom It May Concern]] in 1992 (and to some degree on the '''Dance Remix''' of [[Let’s Work]] in 1982). Both tracks (and [[7]]) use samples of a man laughing that comes from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Harris_(musician) Simon Harris]’ "Beats, Breaks & Scratches" series (namely ''Evil Laugh'' from the fourth volume). This laugh sample on [[2 Whom It May Concern]] and [[7]] is therefore not considered as a sample of the '''Boom Mix''' of [[Shake!]]. The backing-music used for the '''Boom Mix''' also comes from this collection (''100 BPM - Ruff Loop)'' and is actually a looped sample of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_White_Band Average White Band] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_E._King Ben E. King]’s 1977 song ''A Star In The Ghetto''. | ||
