One day I think I'm going to play this at a gig just to see what happens, lol

Even at the age of 7, I didn't fall for buying this record. I knew I'd think it was stupid. I only remember listening to a flexible record that was included in one issue of the magazine, called "She Got A Nose Job", which didn't impress me.

However - after the passage of nearly 50 years, I know that I'd definitely appreciate "Mad Twists Rock 'n' Roll" today far more than I could have in the early '60s.

"Let's do the Pretzel!" Yeah!

[PJDooWop]

I know exactly what you mean. There were things that I couldn't stand in my childhood that I can look back and appreciate now.

[jgv007]

never heard of this dance?

[PJDooWop]

The dance is a joke. Mad magazine put this out. It's a joke on all of the whacked out dance songs that were coming out at that time (bop, stroll, twist, watusi, etc). If "The Pretzel" actually caught on people would be dislocating knees and other joints lol

@PJDooWop but you know you can dance

[PJDooWop]

I can't dance lol.. All of the jokes about white men being bad dancers applies to me

[djdeitch]
