Synopsis

Probot performs "Shake Your Blood" in a dark, stripped-down rock setting, with Lemmy Kilmister handling vocals and bass, Dave Grohl behind the drum kit, and Wino Weinrich on guitar. The performance is intercut with footage of tattooed SuicideGirls dancers, who move around the musicians, pose for the camera, and appear inside metal cages. The video embraces the song's loud, dirty Motörhead-inspired energy, presenting the collaboration as a rowdy live spectacle rather than a narrative-driven clip.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed in Los Angeles on November 15-16, 2003, several months before the release of Probot's self-titled album in February 2004.
  • The clip features 66 women associated with the SuicideGirls website and burlesque troupe. Their appearance helped make the video one of the most immediately recognizable pieces of Probot's brief promotional campaign.
  • The on-screen lineup differs from the recording process. Grohl played the drums and most of the instrumental parts on the studio track, while Lemmy contributed the bass and vocals. Wino appears as the guitarist in the video.
  • Lemmy wrote the song's lyrics, reportedly completing them in about ten minutes. The track was written to suit the direct, hard-driving style associated with his work in Motorhead.
  • The video was included among the extras for the film "SuicideGirls: The First Tour."
  • Foo Fighters later performed "Shake Your Blood" with Lemmy at London's Hyde Park in June 2006 and again in Berlin on June 18, 2011.

Lyrics

Looking for relief in your miserable life
You need some rock and roll
And you better get it right
Got to roll them bones,
Do everything they say
If you're cool, you're the fool.
Make it work everyday.

Rock out, make it quick
My, my, my, let it rip
Rock out, feeling good.
Break your heart. Shake your blood.
