  • What a great rock and roll band with some of the best vocals ever! Exactly what music is supposed to be-a whole lotta fun!

  • @hakkman2007: Just for your ínfo - it peaked at no. 1 in Australia n stayed there for quite a while. All of them, the band, the management, just everybody, was surprised. Because Peppermint Twist was sort of a filler for Sweet F.A. They had about 3 min. spare on the LP and no song. So it was put on more or less as a joke.

  • the sweet r sweet

  • the sweet are one of the best bands ever! love them!!

    maria in sweden.

  • Hm, má to švih...

  • @LeilaSweden: sorry, but this song does not origin from the 70ies. It's a cover version by Sweet (a great one though - I love it!!!). It has to be credited to Joey Dee & The Starliters and goes all the way back to 1961. It had been part of Sweets repertoire for ages before it saw the light of day on Sweet F.A. - as a filler, in fact.

  • OO the 70ths soo good,, LOOOVE

  • a világ legszebb hangja....................

  • niccccceeeee!!!!! i love the beginning credits!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why all the comments about this not being the original video? Are they all clueless? There was no original video for this classic but you've done a superb job re-editing Ballroom Blitz to create one. Great job. Love this performance. You can't be down when you listen to this version.

  • hum c est des annees 60 cette chanson

  • Swéét "fan vid" INDEED!

  • Haha! :D why did you use the ballroom blitz vid?

  • This was released in UK, I bought the 12" version, which is great.

    However, could'ave been an import, can't remember.

    Probably best cover version done.

  • sO gOOd

  • great version of this song , not released in uk why? cant find it on itunes & want this version by sweet anyone know were i can download it ta

  • its not ok if its not the real vid

  • didn't know this was ever released as a single..it wasn't in the uk for sure. wonder why??

  • Eine der BESTEN Bands der 70er!!!!

  • Singin this and a few other songs in choir.

  • Totally NOGGIN!

  • I used to love watching the girls Jive dancing to this ch00n at Forrestfield Disco (Western Australia) in the 70's. Damn they looked good and danced awesome. Sweets version being the perfect rendition.

  • I love this song I do my dance to it! It is so fun ;p

  • sweat rocks

  • Sweet is great.....einfach super Mucke.....

  • Hammer ......geht voll die Post ab.....Party Party .....Sweet is great

  • Funny thing is, hardly anyone from this generation remembers the dance the song was named for (the twist, which is basically drying your back with a big towel)

  • Only song, which really pushes me to dance!

    The Sweet rocks!

  • Sweet gets far too little credit for the innovative way they changed music in the 70's and beyond.

  • Łezka w oku się kręci.

    Teraz tak nie grają

  • Excellent editing. My favourite track from Sweet Fanny Adams. I used in as the backing music to The Wolf Man Twist on YouTube.

  • Super muzyka, stare czasy się przypominają, to było to...

    Pozdrawiam.

  • You just had to "nerd it up" with your star wars shit.

  • Great track,lousy vid.....kick....

  • Reminds me of the lack of respect that Angel got overall! That's ok though because the true fans are always gonna be there.

  • Chubby Checker was first to sing peppermint twist.

  • Very clever editing - well done!

  • this clip is for the ballroom blitz.....I don,t think the Sweet ever made a music clip for the peppermint twist......The original song was written in the late fifties or early sixties

  • sounds a bit like a Beatles song to me...

  • Thanks for this. I love The Sweet!

  • @hakkman2007 We don't have to do better; we're not the ones who're posting videos. You ARE, so it's your responsibility to co-ordinate your audio and video. The Sweet look like they're ready to die of dub's disease.

  • @endora60 oh shut up ya old mole.

  • @hakkman2007 I'm honestly laughing out loud. "Ya old mole": That's great. I like you better now. "Ya old mole." That's some funny shit, kid.

  • The Ramones meet ABBA! What great kids!

  • @hakkman2007 Synced can be So boring! Love this song and listen to it whilst doing other stuff - so no problem here with synching! Thanks for posting. :-)

  • This is a gigg from Sweden 1974 in Stockholm .........i was there!!!!!!!!

    It's in the Concert house! They playd 2 days .... day 2 was delayd ...

    They were 2 ouers late....... But they DELIVERD,,,, A just say Jippie

  • great song!!!

  • @hakkman2007 Is that the best you can do you vulgar punk? You PM me and say "@TheMrBlinx go fuck yourself ass hole", but you can make no valid point or even a lame excuse. If you can't handle valid criticism, you should disable comments, coward. Millions manage to make decent videos on YouTube; what's YOUR problem? I have a better idea: Why don't you just go and COMMIT SUICIDE, you useless, incompetent piece of shit?! Clearly, the world would be a better place without you!

  • @TheMrBlinx

    Wow Male PMS? just get over it and move the fuck on, life is short as it is anyway.

  • @WoodRatGirl Hey, you're the punk who can't take constructive criticism. Disable comments if you can't take it. 

  • LOL I bet they would have done a killer job on it if they did do it! thanks

  • great singers

  • if one of there songs was released as a single again in todays time i think it would be huge

  • Did you know Sweet were the best selling group in UK after the Beatles until MJ came along? Surprise is it is not Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin

  • @originalpauper Do you leave a glass of milk, cookies and a carrot out on Xmas eve? Do u have a pet unicorn that plays with the fairies at the bottom of your garden? Get real.

  • classic sweet sound , brilliant! 

  • WOW. Darth Vader would be turning in his ashes! Great Song though.

  • Yeah, the intro sucks balls. The song is a kick.

  • бодро, бодро, ощщен бодро!

  • i like the intro

    plz keep it in!!!!!!

  • So glammed out!

  • How much do I LOOOOVE THIS!! Thank you so much for putting it up!

  • lots of their songs sounded like stuff for "Rocky Horror Show" music..almost like "Time Warp"..soooo cheesy and fun!!

  • Did The Sweet ever release this song on an album? If so, what one?

  • @Coreyjay4

    yes on the album Sweet fanny adams.

  • When I was younger Sweet was on the top. Peppermint Twist is still goig strog

  • ahhh i remember dancing to this on my 3rd grade Field day. It was so awesome :)

  • you cannot possibly STILL be sitting in your seat by the end of this song........love it!!

  • Yeah, I agree with BeatlesFan1995, intro spoils it a bit. This was popular in Australia too. I grew up with The Sweet, and now my kids enjoy their music too. THEY ROCK!!!!!!!

  • @mcknudsen

    Do one better. Its freaking hard putting it together needs a lot of patience hence the fact Ive never made one lol... Besides there was never a clip made for this song.........

  • Love this song and especially this album! Sweet FA!! There are many underrated bands, but these are the most underrated of them all!

  • Damn! I thought I had all their best songs. Can't believe I never heard this one before. Outstanding cover!! Thanks for putting this on!
