She's About a Mover - Sir Douglas Quintet

She's About a Mover - Sir Douglas Quintet
Mendocino, 1965
2:25
Written by Doug Sahm

This song was inspired by Sahm's remark about a lovely woman in a club: "She's a body mover, isn't she?" Sahm cleaned the remark up a bit and turned it into this musical strut that extols the virtues of a fine lady.  The lyrics are simple but the groove is hypnotic.  Built on a compulsive organ riff, this is a rough and raw slice of Tex-Mex garage rock in the vein of the Standells' "Dirty Water."
