Performance tip
Before performing Shake the Disease, keep the recurring hook rhythmically identical so listeners can recognize its return. Rehearse that transition in Shake the Disease before worrying about stage movement.
Should you sing it?
Shake the Disease makes sense for a singer who can handle room to shape the lines without cramming them and sell the lyric’s point of view. It has a clearly recurring hook. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
