My current reading on this song is that it is a "dance craze" song like "The Twist" or "The Mashed Potato". The lyrics are dance instructions right? "Git yer head down to the ground/Shake it all around" "Now ya jump back like a hound/Emit a howling sound" "revel in the dips /When yer backbone slips /Takin' honeysuckle sips /From yer rollin' hips"

Great jam! Last time I heard this was probably the school disco in 1983. Love tunes that evoke good memories.
