"Shaky Shaky" is a Wiggles song from the Yummy Yummy album and video. The song changes its tempo when Greg says, "Shake a little faster/slower". It is a re-written version of "Hey There Everybody", which was written by the Wiggles for the Australian children's group "Bananas in Pyjamas", and released on the latter group's 1993 album "The Album".

Hey there, shaky shaky
Shaking is fun to do
Hey there, shaky shaky
I want to shake with you
Well, then, shake a little faster
Shake a little slower
Hey there, shaky shaky
Shaking is fun to do
Hey there, shaky shaky
I want to shake with you
Well, then, shake a little faster
Shake a little slower

Baila Shaky Shaky, ¡moverse divertido es!
Baila Shaky Shaky, quiero moverme también
Bueno, entonces, ¡muévete más rápido!
Muévete más lento
¡Sigan moviéndose! ¡Shaky Shaky!
Baila Shaky Shaky, ¡moverse divertido es!
Baila Shaky Shaky, quiero moverme también
Bueno, entonces, ¡muévete más rápido!
Muévete más lento
¡Sigan moviéndose! ¡El Shaky Shaky!

From 1994 video[]
Greg: Wow, that Captain Feathersword sure was tricky. We're going to do a song all about shaking now. But before we do, let's get into our shaking clothes. Ready? 1, 2, 3.
(The Wiggles snap their fingers and their shaking clothes magically come on.)
From 1998 video[]
Greg: We're going to do some shaking, but first, we need to get into our shaking clothes!
Jeff: I've got a great idea for some shaking clothes!
Anthony: Wahoo! I've got a great idea for some shaking clothes, too!
Greg: Wa-hee! I've got a great idea for some shaking clothes!
(Murray says nothing and shrugs)
Jeff: I got my shaking clothes.
Anthony: I got my shaking clothes.
Greg: I've got my shaking clothes.
Murray: Are you ready to shake? Let's all shake together!
Epilogue from 1994 video[]
Greg: Wow. That was a lot of fun shaking, but it's time to get back into our Wiggles clothes now. Ready? 1, 2, 3.

Trivia[]
- In the original 1994 video, the Wiggles wore regular jackets, while in the 1998 video, they wore jumpsuits inspired by the clothing of famous singer Elvis Presley (with Anthony even briefly imitating Presley shortly before the song starts)
- The jumpsuits the Wiggles wore in the 1998 video would later be reused in future video clips for other songs, including "Two Little Dickie Birds" (from "Sing a Song of Wiggles") and "The Lion Is King" (from "The Wiggles Go Bananas!").
- The song is briefly played in Episode 2 of "Minutes with Murray".
- In the 1998 video, the title card comes in too early as the Wiggles come out in their Elvis jumpsuits.
- The English and Spanish versions plays in E whereas the Brazilian and Bananas in Pyjamas versions plays in D.
- The percussion is just Murray tapping on his double bass.
