"(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" is a prime example of KC and the Sunshine Band's signature sound, a relentless dancefloor filler that dominated the charts in 1976. Its suggestive lyrics and an insistent, driving beat made it an instant classic of the disco era.
- The single reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in August 1976, becoming the band's third chart-topper in less than a year. It also hit #1 on the Hot Soul Singles chart.
- The song's suggestive lyrical content and overtly sexual theme caused some minor controversy and led to it being banned by some radio stations, though this did little to dampen its popularity.
- The single was included on the band's 1976 album 'Part 3,' which was certified double platinum by the RIAA.
