“Hippy Hippy Shake” was the group’s highest-charting single other than “Keep Your Hands Yourself,” reaching number 45. The band also recorded a cover of the Swinging Blue Jeans’ late 1960’s hit “Hippy Hippy Shake” for the soundtrack of the Tom Cruise film, Cocktail. The song managed to hit number 86 on the charts. The group’s follow-up single “Battleship Chains” was a sharp-edged rocker, once again featured Baird’s distinctive vocals. “Keep Your Hands To Yourself,” was actually kept out of the Number One spot on the charts by Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.” The low-fi video for the song, featuring the band performing the tune on a flatbed truck, was aired constantly on MTV. “Keep Your Hands To Yourself,” an ode to love and (pre-marital) sex, jumped all the way up to number two on the charts. The album was a resolute blast of no holds barred, straight ahead, bar band music with a dash of country and southern rock tossed in for good measure. The reconstituted band signed up with Elektra Records, and their self-titled debut was released in 1986, at a time when old-school rock and roll was in short supply. The release received some positive response from reviewers, and Baird later joined up with former bandmate Rick Richards, drummer Mauro Magellan and bassist Rick Price (a trio who had been playing together in a band called the Hell Hounds) to re-launch the Georgia Satellites. They liked the songs and in 1985, issued them as an EP under the title Keep The Faith. The band’s manager took the demo to a small British record label.

The demo didn’t generate much interest, so in 1984, the band members went their separate ways. The band changed their name to Georgia Satellites and went into the studio to record a demo with producer Jeff Glixman. Both Keith Christopher and David Michaelson departed and were replaced by Dave Hewitt and Randy DeLay. The group regularly played local bars and clubs in Georgia and weathered a couple of personnel changes in their early years. The band started out around 1980 as Keith and the Satellites, with a lineup that included guitarists Rick Richards and Dan Baird, bassist Keith Christopher and drummer David Michaelson. The tune was a sizable hit for the Georgia Satellites, an Atlanta-based group that specialized in old-fashioned, guitar-infused rock and roll.
