DEF: The Escape Club “Shake For the Sheik”

London-based group The Escape Club scored the biggest hit of their career in November 1988, when “Wild, Wild West” hit number one on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. A couple months later, The Escape Club’s next single, “Shake For The Sheik,” also hit the Top 40, becoming the second of the band’s three Top 40 singles. On this date in 1989, “Shake For The Sheik” climbed to a peak position of number 28, where it would spend three weeks. Today, “Shake For The Sheik” by The Escape Club is the Daily Eighties Flashback.
