One month after the initial release, Johnny O'Keefe covered it in his Australian TV show Six O'Clock Rock and released it as a single, reaching # 2 in Australia. His 1964 re-recording was only a minor hit at # 49. Joey Dee and the Starliters reached # 6 with their recording of the song in 1962 ( The Starlighters also worked the call - and - response portion of the song into its even bigger hit, `` Peppermint Twist '' ), while the Isley Brothers ' version re-charted that same year at # 94. Scottish pop singer Lulu had a # 7 UK hit with the song in 1964 ( attributed to Lulu and the Luvvers ), and a # 8 UK hit with a re-recorded version in 1986.

The song, as performed by Otis Day and the Knights, was also prominently featured in the 1978 fraternity house film National Lampoon 's Animal House. To this day, the song is regularly performed at Dartmouth College, the Ivy League institution in Hanover, New Hampshire, upon which the Animal House story was based, and at the University of Oregon, where the movie was filmed. The 1959 original by the Isley Brothers appeared in the 1982 comedy film Diner. Question Mark & the Mysterians recorded a version of the song on their 1967 album, Action.

( May 2017 ) `` Shout '' has woven itself into many iconic American media such as a dance song in which people progressively crouch down to the dance floor as the song gets quieter. For example, at the end of the 3rd quarter of an Oregon Ducks game at Autzen Stadium, in recognition of National Lampoon 's Animal House being filmed at the University of Oregon in 1977 - 78, the crowd traditionally dances to the song.
