Shaken, not stirred
Listening to the radio, there are countless songs refering to a female's "behind." Many of these describe shaking the aforementioned "behind."
The way these singers describe it is very.... creative. But is it original?
One of the more creative ones is "shake your tailfeather." For the longest time, I thought that was so original. Who would think to call a "behind" a tailfeather. Funny, huh?
BUT IT'S NOT ORIGINAL!!! Bet you didn't know that!
Several months ago, I was driving back from a wedding with a friend. We were listening to the radio, and started listening to the Disco hour. (It was really late at night... and we needed something to laugh at!) Well, this song comes on- I laughed my "behind" off! It was called "Disco Duck." It sounded like a cartoon duck (similar to Donald Duck) singing this song. It went something like this, "Disco, disco duck. Try your luck- Don't be a cluck." It was hillarious. But at one point, Disco Duck said "shake your tailfeather." Oh- did I laugh!
So here's the question. Do you think the modern day rappers got "shake your tailfeather" from Disco Duck? Or do you think two seperate people can come up with the exact same phrase?
Bonus points: Can you find any other songs that talk about shaking a tailfeather?

They ripped it off!!! They always seem to "sample" from a lot of old stuff...
Great Post.
Yep, I agree with all of the above. Disco Duck was hugely popular, there is no way they didn't hear the song.
i dunno... do current day rappers really listen to disco?
