Why is it called Lido Shuffle?

Scaggs took the idea of the shuffle from a song by Fats Domino called “The Fat Man”, which had a driving shuffle beat that he used to play on the piano. Scaggs then showed the song to Paich and they worked together to fill it out. The result was “Lido Shuffle”. Since then, the term has been used to describe any number of songs with a similar shuffle beat. Whether you’re a fan of Scaggs or Domino, there’s no denying that the Lido Shuffle is a catchy rhythm that’s perfect for dancing.
