SHOUT-AND-FALL

'Shout-and-fall' or 'tumbling strain' is a modal frame "very common in Afro-American-derived styles" and are featured in songs such as "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and "My Generation" (Middleton 1990).
"Gesturally, it suggests 'affective outpouring', 'self-offering of the body', 'emptying and relaxation'." The frame may be thought of as a deep structure common to the varied surface structures of songs in which it occurs. (ibid)
