Artist: Steve Miller Band Album: The Joker (Capitol) Steve Miller’s lyric on The Joker, the pompatus of love, really stands out. I’ve already explained where he got that from. No, it was not original to him. Many people, including myself, also love the line from The Joker, “You’re the cutest thing I ever did see. I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree.” It’s evocative; it’s a bit sexual. It’s also not original. Steve Miller was a big borrower of lyrics and, I’ve heard this line in a number of old blues or R&B songs that I couldn’t even remember so I had to go on a search. But, it stands out in one tune from 1954, Lovey Dovey by the Clovers. The title comes from the lyrics ‘lovey dovey all the time,’ which Miller also used in The Joker. Lovey Dovey by The CloversWell, you’re the cutest thing that I did ever see. I really love your peaches wanna shake your tree, is the first lyric in Lovey Dovey by the Clovers. Steve Miller seems to have lifted the line straight from this tune. Still, it appears to have been a recurring trope. Those lyrics, tame by today’s standards, were raunchy enough that Clyde McPhatter saw fit to change them when he re-recorded the song, using “I really love you, baby, won’t you come with me.” If You Don’t Want My Peaches by Irving BerlinHowever, we can go all the way back to 1914 for something similar and even more obvious, as it’s in the title of the song. Irving Berlin’s song If You Don’t Want My Peaches contains the lyrics “If you don’t want my peaches, then stop shaking my tree.” The song was never published during Berlin’s lifetime. It was later included on a posthumous CD and sung by Berlin’s granddaughter, Mary Ellin Lerner. Peach Orchard Mama by Blind Lemon JeffersonBlind Lemon Jefferson’s song, Peach Orchard Mama, from 1929, also calls on the image of a peach tree and its fruit:
Notice the joker? Hmmm…. Lovey Dovey by Otis and CarlaAlthough Miller may have been influenced by many works, the clearest influence is seen from Lovey Dovey. It may not have been The Clover’s rendition, however, Otis and Carla also recorded a version of the song in 1956. Otis and Carla were Otis Redding and Carla Thomas. They also recorded a version of The Tramp in which Carla criticizes Otis because he’s from the back-woods, doesn’t have fancy clothes, and needs a haircut. To which he continually responds, “but I’m a lover.” I can’t help thinking that this recalls much of the theme of The Joker, where the singer is being criticized but responds, in so many words, by saying, ‘but I’m a lover.’ More 1970s Music More More Classic Rock Music What does I really love your peaches want to shake your tree mean?Nowadays it is common knowledge that a peach is a term referring to a woman's buttocks, and wanting to “shake her tree” very clearly means that he would like to have some fun with her in the bedroom, ensuring her that he'll love her and show her a good time always.
Who sang the song The Joker?"The Joker" is a song by the Steve Miller Band from their 1973 album The Joker. Released as a single in October 1973, the song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1974 and reached the top 20 in Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands.
