You Shook Me All Night Long
Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos
She kept her motor clean
She was the fastest damn woman that I ever seen
She had sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come, but I was already there
'Cause the walls started shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was achin'
And we were makin' it and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you, shook me all night long
Working double time on the seduction line
She was one of a kind
She's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause
It's just another cause
Made a meal out of me, and come back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
But the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you, shook me all night long
Knocked me out, I said yo
Shook me all night long
Had me shaking and you
Shook me all night long
Well you shook me
Well you shook me
You really shook me and you
Shook me all night long
Aaaaahaaaahaaaah You
Shook me all night long
Yeah yeah you
Shook me all night long
You really got me and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me
Yeah you shook me
All night long
You Shook Me All Night Long
Tori Amos's rendition of "You Shook Me All Night Long" reimagines the classic rock anthem through her signature piano-driven lens. While originally a staple of hard rock, Amos's interpretation aligns with her broader discography, which frequently explores the intersection of classical training and alternative rock sensibilities. This recording demonstrates her ability to deconstruct well-known material, stripping away the original's guitar-heavy arrangement to reveal a more intimate, melodic core. The performance highlights her dynamic vocal range and percussive piano style, transforming a high-energy track into a contemplative piece. Such covers underscore her versatility as a performer who draws from diverse musical traditions to create unique sonic landscapes within her extensive body of work.
