Lyric Question re Shotgun by Jr. Walker

[MIKEW-UK]

“While performing in his second home, the El Grotto Bar, Junior noticed teenage dancers bopping about, jerking their arms back and forth in a peculiar fashion. He asked them “What kind of junk is this? They was going across the floor like they was shooting. A girl looked at me and sais’ Man, that’ the shotgun, you better write a tune to that’. No sooner said than done. However when Berry Gordy heard it”he fell out and went to laughing!” Junior remembered. “Then he said ‘record it’.... And we went in and did it, and it come to be a great tune”.
