"Lido Shuffle" is a song written by Boz Scaggs and David Paich and introduced on the 1976 album Silk Degrees.[5] It was released as a single in 1977 and was produced by Joe Wissert.[6]

Background

Scaggs recalled: "'Lido Shuffle was a song that I'd been banging around. I...took the idea of the shuffle [from] a song that Fats Domino did called 'The Fat Man' that had a kind of driving shuffle beat that I used to play on the piano, and I just started kind of singing along with it. Then I showed it to [David] Paich and he helped me fill it out. It ended up being 'Lido Shuffle.'"[7]

Members of the backup band on "Lido Shuffle" include David Paich, Jeff Porcaro and David Hungate, who later formed Toto.[8]

Reception

Released as the album's fourth single, "Lido Shuffle" reached number 11 in the US and 13 on the UK Singles Chart.[9] In Australia the track spent three weeks at number 2 as a double A-side hit with "What Can I Say".

The song was adopted by the Philadelphia Eagles to play when cornerback Lito Sheppard would make an interception.[10]
