"Shake Your Coconuts" is a song by Danish indie pop duo Junior Senior. The song was recorded in 2002 as the third single from their debut album D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat.

The song is played in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, The Prince and Me and during the end credits of the film Looney Tunes: Back in Action, and an instrumental version of the song can be heard during some scenes from the Malcolm In The Middle episode "Experiment" from the fifth season. It also features on the menus for the European release of the game Worms 3D. Developers Team17 eventually released a "fix" to replace the music. American rock band Phish began their Baker's Dozen 13 night residency at Madison Square Garden with a cover version of the song on 21 July 2017.[1]
