10CC - The Wall Street Shuffle (Extended Mix) from the album "Sheet Music" (1974)

"The Wall Street Shuffle" is a single by the British pop/rock band 10cc, released in 1974 on the UK Records label, from the band's 1974 album Sheet Music. It was the most successful single to be released from the album, reaching No. 10 on the UK chart.

The song features a classic rock riff and lyrics that deal with Wall Street and the economy. It features several topical cultural references and specifically mentions Getty, Rothschild and Howard Hughes.

10cc members Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart wrote this song. Gouldman told the The Daily Mail, May 27, 2007: "We were crossing New York's Wall Street in a cab one day and someone said, 'Do the Wall Street Shuffle.' That song just built from there."
The someone was Lol Creme, who along with Kevin Godley rounded out the band.

This song is set in New York City, but it tanked in America, failing to chart. 10cc was much more appreciated in their native UK, where the song went to #10.
