The
Flamin' Groovies is an
American rock music band whose peak was in the 1960s and 1970s. They began in
San Francisco in 1965, founded by
Cyril Jordan and Roy Loney. They are perhaps best known for their song "Shake Some Action", a cover version of which, by American band Cracker, was later featured in the 1995 movie
Clueless. The group have been called one of the forerunners of
punk rock, and they also had a major influence on the
power pop genre.
