Lyrics
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on too many dates [chuckle]
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
You could've been getting down to this sick beat.

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm)
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

That was a joy and a delight!

[littleheaven]

Thank you!

[leanwellback]

Ahhh, I have such a huge smile on my face, that was WONDERFUL. Your editing is superb :D

[littleheaven]

Thank you so much :o)

[settiai]

Oh, this was wonderful!

[littleheaven]

I'm really pleased you liked it, thanks!

[valoise]

So much fun!

[littleheaven]

Thanks!

[shati]

A good new groove. And, idk, physical comedy? Is there a word for what I mean? Exaggerated movements timed with the beat in a way that is funny in itself. What are words.

[littleheaven]

I'm not sure if there's a word for it, but there should be :o) Thanks!

[laura47]

cute!

[littleheaven]

Thanks!

[fairestcat]

Oh, very cute!

[littleheaven]

Thank you :o)

[silvainshadows]

This is SO AWESOME!

[littleheaven]

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback!

[starlady]

Ohhhhh this is the BEST VID, I am sitting here with such a huge smile on my face. The song choice is nothing I would ever have thought of but is 200% perfect, and your editing is so good I almost didn't notice all of the tiny details the first time around. Flawless. Thank you so much! :D

[littleheaven]

You're very welcome. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Funnily enough this is not the source we matched on - when I saw it in your list I couldn't resist vidding it :)

[cofax7]

Awww, that was adorable.

[littleheaven]

Thank you :o)

[purplefringe]

:-D This is so much fun! Omg. Fantastic comic timing. I have a huge grin on my face now!

[littleheaven]

Thanks! I worked on the timing really hard :o)

[metatxt]

Ooooh this was wonderful! The timing and match-cuts were just spectacular. Sincerely sweet and epic fun. Fantastic!

[littleheaven]

Thank you so much for your feedback. I was particularly proud of the match cuts in this vid :o)

[skygiants]

CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP. The timing on this is absolutely superb.

[littleheaven]

Thank you! A lot of painstaking tweaking went into the timing so I'm glad it paid off.

[chaila]

This is such a joy to watch! So snappy and fun.

[littleheaven]

Hee, thanks!

[frayadjacent]

Yay, this was so fun! Great editing, and I liked how you used different sections of the song for different characters. Hooray!

[littleheaven]

LOL, that wasn't actually even intentional, but I'll take it :o) Thanks for the feedback!

[odessie]

Hee, this was so much fun! Your timing and editing is just perfect.

[sanguinity]

That was great fun!

[franzeska]

Wheeee! I love how this never stops moving.

[par_avion]

Tons of fun! I've never actually seen this movie, but you make it look really appealing.

[grammarwoman]

I totally enjoyed the energy and fun of this - kudos!

[deirdre_c]

The musicality of this vid is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Your edits are sheer perfection. PERFECTION, I TELL YOU. I mean, are you serious with the blinking eyes with the beat at 1:41. ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?! ♥_♥

[littleheaven]

I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you noticed the blinks! It was my favourite part of the whole thing. I cut that clip into about 6 bits, all with slightly different speeds, to get that timing right. Thank you so much for the lovely feedback.

[actiaslunaris]

So cute! There's some really excellent attention to timing in here that seems effortless, but it really makes the video pop and move, like with the matching on the first repeats of 'shake it off'.

[swizzlespoon]

Really fun, I haven't seen the movie in ages (since it was in theaters), but this reminded me of all the best things about it.

[echan]

Movin' and groovin' and such fun!

[thirdblindmouse]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. This was very fun!
