@chaoticjesus Billy wrote this song on a bet with a friend. He said he could write a hit song in under five minutes and his buddy bet him $100 dollars that he couldn't. Billy won the bet.
I remember one night my girlfriend and i got drunk and we started dancing to this song. Trying to do the limbo with a curtain rod held up. We both fell and we laughing so hard we couldnt get up! Before long, the whole trailer park was joining in on the fun! Great music to party with!
I am listening 2 this because I have to rewrite this song for science, called the "Limbic Rock"! I actually like this song, but I don't no how I am going to make it into a song about the Limbic System. Except I think it was pretty clever of my science teacher to think of something like that!
@mrslogansq sorry to hear your dad is no more=/... by the way two of my (quite annoying) freinds hi-jacked my youtube account and wrote alot of junk on my facebook as well -.-'

I didn't swear. I think you should try and apply at UNI once more for a trained observing course. (Possibly Master's) I am not stereotyping. It is true! And for the record, I love Pink Floyd, Ray Charles, and AC/DC, but anything after 1999, for me, is terrible.
I was graduating from the eighth grade at Aliamanu Intermediate School in Hawaii back in 1964 and we celebrated in our classroom by playing the Limbo Rock over and over again! Thank you for bringing back such a wonderful memory of the best time of my life!
Hi just found this track on youtube. When I was in the second form at primary school we used to have a teacher who used to give us a music session every Friday and this was one of the tracks he used to play and we had the limbo bar and everything. I think that I got down to about eight inches then which was pretty incredible. Would never be able to do that now - a long time has gone by but hey the song is still great!!!!!!
A Top 5 hit for Chubby Checker in December 1962. Well, we prepare to say good-bye to 1962 and prepare for 1963. Checker had plenty of hits by this time. Could he be the breakout star as the 1960's progress? That would remain to be seen.
People who listen to Eminem and all of these other rappers like Lil' Wayne are so dumb and uneducated that they have to swear in every sentence. I won this argument. Kthxbai.
@Nixcilak if you used Lil' Wayne it would be a perfectly correct statement but Eminem is a legit great rapper + you can't win an argument on the internet!
@Nixcilak I detest those who feel the need to swear when something bad has not happened. I am not yet highly educated, but planning on at least a masters at uni in the next few years. This music right here is amazing and awesome. So is everything from Pink Floyd to Ray Charles to AC/DC. I also like a lot of newer rock, as well as a lot of metal (do not read as metalcore/screamo, I hate that).
And I also like Eminem.
You may want to stop stereotyping, it gets you a bad reputation these days.
@paulieb70 Thanks for the witty repartee. Maybe when you actually grow a sack with a few hairs on it you'll see that REAL Americans celebrate when their enemies are defeated--and we do it with great music like THIS.
Enjoy your self-satisfied little (VERY little) intellectual kiddie pool...until a radical Muslim terrorist blows it up, that is. :-D
