    "comment": "\"Shake It Up,\" written by Ric Ocasek, is a tailor-made party song. With the simple \"dance all night\" refrain, it indeed became a favorite dance party tune.\n--\n Guitarist Elliot Easton said he wanted his solo to sound like \"two guys trading off\". He first plays a Fender Telecaster, in a style skewing country, then midway through the solo switches to a Gibson guitar for a heavier rock sound.",
