According to KC, it had a lot more meaning and depth. During his performance he would witness the entire crowd having a good time except for some minority. The song inspired people to "get off their can and get out there and do it".<ref>{{cite book|title= The MOJO Collection: The Ultimate Music Companion |first= Jim |last= Irvin |authorlink= Jim Irvin |year= 2007 |publisher= Canongate Books |page= 837}}</ref> The B-side of "Shake Your Booty" is "Boogie Shoes", which later became a hit on its own after it appeared on the ''Saturday Night Fever'' soundtrack in 1977 and then having its own release as a single in early 1978, becoming a top 40 hit in several countries including the UK and US.

The chorus consists of the title expression with ''shake'' appearing eight times.

''Record World'' said that "A hypnotic invitation to get on the dance floor and shake, shake, shake your booty is one that you just can't pass up!"<ref name=rw>{{cite magazine|magazine=Record World|date=July 3, 1976|page=1|accessdate=2023-03-04|title=Hits of the Week|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Record-World/70s/76/RW-1976-07-03.pdf}}</ref>
