"Twist and Shout" is the second single from the album Fellow Hoodlums by the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue.
"Twist and Shout"' had an unusual combination of pop and Cajun zydeco.[citation needed] It reached No. 10 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1991[1] and No. 13 in the Irish Singles Chart[2]
Title
"Twist and Shout" is not the same song made famous by the Topnotes, The Isley Brothers, and the Beatles. However, the 12" single of Deacon Blue's release, perhaps in a nod to the common name, contains a live cover of the Beatles' "I'm Down". Additionally, towards the end of this song, the lyrics; "Come on, come on baby" and "Work it all out" can be heard, quite similar to how they are sung in the other "Twist and Shout".
Release
The single's primary B-sides is the song "Good". Some versions of the single include an additional B-side entitled "Golden Bells".
