Lyrics
I'd like to be somebody else and not know where I've been
I'd like to build myself a house out of plasticine
Ah, shake along with me
Ah, shake along with me
I've been driving in my car with my friend Mister Soft
Mister Clean and Mister Ben are living in my loft
Ah, shake along with me
Ah, shake along with me
I'm sorry but I just don't know
I know I said I told you so
When you're happy and you're feeling fine
Then you'll know it's the right time
Then you'll know that it's the right time
To shake along with me
Shake along with me
Shake along with me
Shake along with me
Mister Sifter sold me songs
When I was just sixteen
Now he stops at traffic lights
But only when they're green
Ah, shake along with me
Ah, shake along with me
Ah, shake along with me
Ah, shake along with me
Shake along with me
Shake along with me
Shake along with me
Shake along with them
Shake along with me
Shake along with them
Shake along with me

Notes
"Shakermaker" is the second single from Oasis' debut album, Definitely Maybe, released in **1994**. The song reflects the band's playful side, blending surreal lyrics with a catchy, anthemic chorus. Written by **Noel Gallagher**, the track showcases his ability to craft memorable melodies that stick with listeners.
Produced by Owen Morris** and Mark Coyle, the song reached #11 on the UK Singles Chart**. Its laid-back yet rebellious vibe made it an instant favourite among fans. The song also sparked controversy due to its resemblance to the melody of "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," which led to a lawsuit. Despite this, "Shakermaker" remains a defining track of the Britpop era.
