Now,
I believe you're the only drummer with a signature beat.
Could you explain the Purdy Shuffle to these fine people?
How it works?
How does it work?
Really?
Wow.
Well,
it started a long,
long time ago.
I had no idea what it was,
but we had the train that came by and
it always seemed to stop,
every other train and all that.
But when it got down to where it really did stop,
there was a thing going on and I said,
oh,
I like that.
I like that.
So,
I worked on it.
I worked on it until I thought I had something really,
really good.
And it was so good that I only did it for about 200 records.
What
can I tell you?
It seemed to work for a lot of people,
so a lot of hits.
Well,
it's
still working.
All right.
It started off kind of simple,
but
the main thing,
it's all about
feel.
But it's also about the tempo.
All right.
I won't fool around with him anymore.
This way.
This way.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
Purdy Shuffle feels so good.
Listen.
The song simply says,
if
I gave you my love,
tell you what I'd do.
Hey,
but you gotta be good to me.
Yeah,
I will be good to you.
Why?
Because there's a whole
lot of things you and I
can do.
Yeah.
If I gave you all my love,
I'd show you,
tell you,
show you,
tell you what I'd
do.
Because there's a whole lot of things you and I,
I could do.
Oh, MSG, oh, yeah.
You're
beautiful.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful to me.
Give it up for Purdy Shuffle.
Beautiful to me.
Give it up one more time for Bernard Purdy.
Thank you.
The hit maker.
The Purdy Shuffle.
