Answer: All Shook Up

The opposite of none is all, of still is shook, and of down is up.

Otis Blackwell wrote "All Shook Up." On April 13, 1957, the song reached number one on the Billboard Top 100, remaining for eight weeks. According to some sources, Blackwell wrote the song after Al Stanton of Shalimar Music was shaking a bottle of Pepsi and told him he should write a song using the phrase "All shook up." Other sources say that Elvis thought "All shook up" made a good line and was credited with co-writing.
