Stir It Up is a song originally composed by Bob Marley and first recorded by his group The Wailers in 1967 and issued as a single that same year through Epic records.
“Stir It Up by Bob Marley” is a laid-back love song about finding your way back into the presence of a lover whom you missed very dearly, and whom also shares those feelings. The two of you have nothing to do except sit around and “Stir It Up” together, in peaceful harmony and without paying attention to the time. It’s quite the vibe, and it features the iconic bassline that will have you swaying your hips from side to side, whether it’s your first time hearing the song or your hundredth time today.
For the interest of the Deadheads out there, the Jerry Garcia Band was known to cover Bob Marley’s “Stir It Up” from time-to-time in the late seventies.

[Intro]
Ooh, stir it up
Little darling, stir it up
Come on and stir it up
Little darling, stir it up

It’s been a long, long time
Since I’ve got you on my mind
And now you are here, I say it’s so clear
To see what we could do honey, just me and you

I’ll push the wood
(Stir it, stir it, stir it together)
I blaze your fire

Then I will satisfy your, your heart’s desire
(Stir it, stir it, stir it together)
Said, I stir it, yeah, every minute, yeah
