The song expresses a very male and very teenaged angst.

From the Wiki:
Kidd and the Pirates' finest moment might have been the powerful song "Shakin' All Over", which features memorable opening guitars and solo from Joe Moretti,[2] and reached number one in the UK singles charts in 1960. The song and the group's proto-power trio line-up both made a strong impression on the Who, who would cover it in their 1970 album Live at Leeds, whose CD liner notes proclaim the original to be the UK's best pre-Beatles rock single. Canada's The Guess Who reached #1 with a cover version in early 1965. It was covered again in 1984 by the California band "Pegasus" with Tedd Armstrong and Steve Caton on their "Pegasus Takes Flight" EP. Music critics Roy Carr and Tony Tyler would later write that "Shakin' All Over" was the second-ever genuine British rock classic, following Cliff Richard's "Move It".
Heh. The blurb doesn't mention that Pete Townshend said that they had to do the cover because, in the early days of The Who, concert fans always confused them with The Guess Who, and demanded to hear the song.

Here is the 1965 The Guess Who version:


Guess who's still not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

It's funny how many people don't know that this was an anti-war protest song, and not actually about American women

Like A Doll's Eye!

“You were at the debate? What happened?”
“Macro Rubio slammed two torpedoes into the SS Trump, Chief. We was comin' back from that terrible loss in South Carolina... just dropped like a bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred million in Super Pac Money went into the water. The Bush Campaign went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the Donald Trump coming for about a half an year. Tiger. Asshole. Reality star.
Thirteen footer. Of pure bullshit. You know... you know that when you're in the water, chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. Well, at least at his toupee... it is a dead giveaway. I have lived all over the world. It’s not like I lived on one block all my life. I have traveled. I even know how to drive. A car. A boat. A golf ball. Everything except a nail. I hire Mexicans for that. Sailed the seven seas. B'cause my missions had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent to anyone, huh. I know everything but I can’t school all of you fools. I can only bomb one blog at a time. So when I didn’t attack that reality star asshole they didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, chief. The Trumplets come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like 'ol squares in battle like uh, you see on a calendar, like the Battle of Waterloo. The elitists. The Republican establishment. The small businessmen who exploit illegal aliens. The conservative pundits who Trump refuses to consult. The Neocons who never saw a war they didn’t want to start. And the idea was, the Trump goes to the nearest man and then he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the Trump and the Trumplets would go away and attack someone else.
