Hi, Rick

There are serveral songs titled "Earthquake" including the one below by Ronnie Milsap.

Earthquake
Album: Heart and Soul

Mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm
Now hit me! Ooh-yeah! Hooh!

Ooh-ee baby, don't you know you set my soul on fire
You're like a double scoop o' ice cream
Sittin' on top of a cherry pie
Ooh-ee baby, don't you know you make me lose control
Come on over to me mamma, let me feel your rock 'n' roll.

'Cause you know you got what it takes
To make my body shake - just like an earthquake
You shake my body down
Like an earthquake, you shake my body down.

Ooh-ee baby, I'm a twitchin' and a tremblin' inside
You've got me covered up in love
I'm buried in your landslide
Ooh-ee baby, I'm a livin' in a danger zone, yeah
I'm in a cold, cold sweat and my mouth is dry as a bone.

'Cause you know you've got what it takes
To make my body shake just like an earthquake, wooh
You shake my body down
I said an earthquake, you shake my body down.

Ooh, a hurricane ain't got nothin' on you, no
'Cause you blow me away, there's nothin' I can say or do
Except shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Shake, shake (like an earthquake)
I just shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Harmonica comin' in, Oh Lord, wooh.

Oh, oh, oh, a hurricane ain't got nothin' on you
'Cause you blow me away, there's nothin' I can say or do
Except shake, shake (like an earthquake)
I just shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Shake, shake (like an earthquake),
Shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Shake, shake (earthquake), shake, shake (earthquake)
You got me shakin' and tremblin' (like an earthquake)
Oh Lord, shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Oh, oh, You got me shakin' and tremblin' (like an earthquake)
Shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Oh, oh, you got me shakin' baby
I just shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Oh yeah, I just shake, shake (like an earthquake)
Oh, I just shake, shake (like an earthquake)
I just shake, shake (like an earthquake)
I just shake, shake (ahhhh)...

The second song is:

Rip Off the Knob
written by David Bellamy

Well if she's drivin' you to work or you're headin' to the club
And you hear that special that you both really love
You pull your best girl close and tell her how ya feel
And then you kiss her one time so she knows it's really real
And when the music's that good you don't even have to ask
Rip off the knob and beat on the dash


Well when you're runnin' with your lover on a Saturday night
You're punchin' buttons on the dial 'cause it's got to be right
You got your car shined up and the ragtop down
You're playin' power country while you're cruisin' thru town
Yeah your baby's lookin' sexy, this moment has to last
Rip off the knob and beat on the dash


Rip Rip it off
Rip, rip
Rip it off


Well when you're parked at the beach on a near perfect night
And the stage has been set for a party in the moonlight
Well the drums begin to pound and you're dancin' with your friends
And you don't expect you're ever gonna feel this good again
And then the DJ says "call in to win some cash"
Rip off the knob and beat on the dash


Rip, Rip it off
Rip, rip
Ript it off

Rip, Rip it off
Rip, Rip,
Rip it off
