These songs range from the Sam Cooke influenced ballad of Raise Your Head to the Little Richard/Fats Domino inspired rocker Lotta Shakin' Lotta of Jivin', to instrumental ravers such as Key Jammer, Do It Now, Aw Get It and Pat Your Rock to dance-craze themed songs such as Look At Grandma Watusi!, Mister Twister, Spinning Top and Ennis Lee.
