Boz Scaggs built "Lido Shuffle" out of Fats Domino: the driving shuffle of "The Fat Man", which he used to pound out on piano and sing along to, until David Paich helped him fill it out into a song for Silk Degrees in 1976. Paich arranged it and plays Moog, and the rhythm section is the future Toto engine room, Jeff Porcaro on drums and David Hungate on bass, with a brass and wind gang including Tom Scott, Jim Horn and Chuck Findley blowing on top. Joe Wissert produced.
Released in 1977 as the album's fourth single, it reached No. 11 in the US and 13 in the UK, and in Australia it spent three weeks at No. 2, paired as a double A-side with "What Can I Say". The Philadelphia Eagles made it the soundtrack to cornerback Lito Sheppard's interceptions.
