The video for the single featured actress/model Patricia Kotero, better known as Apollonia, as the female doing the "shakin". She would later go on to co-star in the film Purple Rain.

Lyrics

In 2018, Money confirmed a longstanding theory to Rolling Stone magazine that the song did indeed include the word "tits," ("Her tits were shakin' till the middle of the night") even in the version played on the radio.[2]

In popular culture

The song is a playable track on the music video game Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. The song's video was featured on an episode of Beavis and Butt-Head. The duo enjoyed the video, particularly Money's faces while watching Apollonia dance around.
