shaking the Moog

Someone who is really into what they're doing; Someone who is unnecessarily overdoing something
Origin:The Moog is, or course, the tiny funny sounding synthesizer featured in many 80's New Wave bands. Even though it is an electronic device, more intense keyboard players may be tempted to pick it up and shake it, as if trying to squeze an extra bit of vibrato out of it.

That guy on line for Star Wars in the Jar Jar Binks costume is really shaking the Moog.
