I came across the term "southside shuffle" this last couple of weeks. I know all kinds of shuffles... but what is this one?  Any ideas?

What might help is to post a audio clip of what someone is calling a Southside Shuffle. This would help determine if there is another name for it ... which I'm positive there is.

OK, I have more information.

Turns out, a bass playing friend of mine heard me playing "Inner City Blues" by Marvin Gaye at a gig a week or two ago. I play a "shuffled" version of a boogaloo beat.

So, mystery solved.

Thanks guys!

"duh-duh-DAH-duh-DAH-duh-DAH-duh-DAH", to be perfectly simple.

The chorus of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by that one band is a heavy-music-type example.  Refer to James Brown for the authentic version.

It was used way too much in the early 1990s, and through this period by pop music stragglers and CCM.  It's musically appropriate at times, but I have a personal bias against it for a variety of reasons beyond the scope of this thread.

We've discussed the Boogaloo here on several occasions.

There's different types of Boogaloos as well (ie. Electric Boogaloo, Latin Boogaloo).
