Lyric Question re Shotgun by Jr. Walker

[motony]

man those Miracles always got a good work out, "Come On Do the Jerk" was always my fave Jerk song. next would be "The Jerk" by Martha & the Vandellas on the Dance Party LP. Jr. was singing about dances Shotgun, Jerk & Twine which were all big at about the same time.I do remember that Berry Gordy hadn't heard about the Twine & thought Jr. was singing Cryin Time at the end but no it was Twine Time.

Yep! The Twine was a dance. "Shotgun" was a dance like "The Hitchhike", which was a few years earlier. I don't think people name dances today. I don't think people dance today.....
