Shake Me


"Shake Me" is a hard rock track by Cinderella, featured on their 1986 debut album Night Songs, released through Mercury Records. The song showcases the band's blues-influenced riff style and straightforward hard rock energy that defined their early sound. For electric guitar players, it offers a solid introduction to driving power chords, catchy melodic leads, and the gritty, no-frills approach typical of mid-1980s hard rock.

  • Night Songs was released on June 9, 1986, making 'Shake Me' one of Cinderella's earliest recorded guitar showcases.
  • The track runs approximately 3 minutes and 42 seconds, a compact structure ideal for studying hard rock song arrangement.
  • Cinderella's debut was distributed by Vertigo Records in the UK, giving 'Shake Me' broad international exposure upon release.
