  • I always have to give a thumbs down to Chubby's re-records, like this one. This is not his original recording. This is a re-record from the mid 70's. Defintely inferior to the original, and not the familiar version.

  • nice

    

  • @xpro117 but hey I do agree with you when you stated that electronic music was and is this generations music.. no doubt about it I happen to like trance and progressive very much.. :) so your only half wrong "in my opinion" lol I'm pulling your leg.. Be a smart kid not a smart aleck. Have respect for people and always find the good lol word to your mother man :)

  • @Xpro117 do yourself a favor and stop arguing with your elders kid.. You should learn a two or thing about respect I believe a woman by the name of Aretha Franklin could teach you a thing or two about it.. Oh wait you wouldn't care would you? Pick your battles kid....

  • Great song!!!!

  • I just love Rock 'n' Roll!! ^^ I'm not even from the U.S.A! I'm from Puerto Rico... And all this rap things and pop is nothing compared to good this music!! (Correct me if I'm wrong. If it's not rock'n'roll Im sorry...) I love this ^^ I AM GONNA START TO LEARN HOW TO DO THE TWIST!! >:D

  • I'm twisting!

  • This was my favorite song when i was eight! Now, six years later, i finally found it :D

  • Haha Duke Nukem x]

    

  • hahahaha Nice video!!!

  • @Darlingcarmen- thank you!

  • i love old skool music

  • I would give anything to live in the 50's and 60's. Everything is carefree. Soo much fun it wouldve been.

  • @traxxas1232 Carefree? For rich white folks in the United States maybe. Many black people in the U.S were still struggling. Not to mention the Cold War paranoia. Any day a complete a-hole like McArthy could come along accuse you of being a commie or commie sympathizer and ruin your career and your life and still that was far less terrifying than the thought of a civilization-raping nuclear WWIII breaking out because of Soviet expansionism.

    Bad times. Great music but bad times.

  • Actually, the second time The Twist hit #1 it was in January of 1962. It climbed back up the charts late in 1961.

  • Cool!! Sub-Zero dance twist!!!! XD LOL

  • If only i could time travel to dance to these tunes

  • @VeedddeeR you can do it just in you mind

  • also Queens re entered the charts and went to number 1 in 1990? thanks to waynes world.

  • Saw Chubby @ Doc Severonson's in Okla. City years ago. Put on one heck of a show! Did the twist with a school teacher.

  • i love music like this. wish i knew more artists that produces music like this.

  • I LOVE this song, but... what the F**K am I watching!!!!!!!!

  • Lol Duke Nukem Alien doing the Twist.

  • Always knew sub zero was a chubby checker fan, and now i finally have the proof

  • I've danced to this so many times at so many parties...everyone loves it !!! :-))))

  • im 12 and i like classic songs like this and beatles and elvis

  • i hate rap and i love this because when i was little my parents would play songs like this on our record player that i still listen to

  • chubby ckecker vencio a elvis presley pues tiene mas hermosas canciones

  • Comment removed

  • good old days when music really meant something, people could just dance and have fun no matter what was goin on. care free, nowadays.... you have to fill out a text book of papers just to have fun haha

  • omg i couldn't help myself

    I just started dancing and couldn't stop

  • twist twist and keep twisting....till you knock out your back LOL

  • i agree with most everyone on here. fabulous song... i wish like school dances would play this these days. do you know how cool it would be if everyone danced like that again?? great song.. except the video kinda creeps me out.

  • yeah mortal kombat!

    

  • pure energy....

  • Comment removed

  • @Dtox70 He said "C'mon, little miss."

  • @Dtox70 hahahahaha... actually he said c'mon lil MISS hahahahahaha

  • I like rap, but man oh man they do not make em like this anymore..good times I wish I could experience for 1 day

  • It never ceases to amaze me how many young people are dissatisfied with the music of their times. There has to be some good music out there still being made; I guess it isn't mainstream and is what would be called underground. Also the ability to access the music of the past makes the inevitable comparison to music of the present, something that wasn't possible back in the 50's and 60's. The music of the 1920's was unavailable to us.

    Anyway enjoy the 50's > 70's It was a great time ;)

  • The Sandlot

  • This is good music, not rap, rap is crap

  • I am embarrased to say that i go to the school i go to. because when the talent show happened about half of the school either danced or sang to this modern day crap. i wish my school would play some good ol songs. The 50's and the 60's were and are still the best era's of anything. ecspecially music and cars. sorry about spelling errors im only 12.

  • @bblackzero3- don't worry about any spelling errors! Thanks for your nice comment!  Ron

  • @bblackzero3 hey you may be 12 but you have great taste kid.

  • @bblackzero3 Hey, nobody spells perfect. So do this. Use that flashlynx downloader and copy a bunch of this '56 - '65 stuff. Make 3 files of 12 apiece. Burn nto a DVD, have sme friends over and play it for them. You might be able to start something. right now you kids are being robbed of what is real music. More like a gear reduction unit that has run out of oil.. is what you are being fed instead

  • @skaha77 What you think is real music may not be music to someone else. I enjoy all kinds of music... I recently have been enjoying techno music. Face it electronic music is going to be the music of the next generation. New types of music come and go, so there is no such thing as real music... its just an opinion.

  • @xpro117 Your last line gives you away. WHERE did you hear THAT?? Do yourself a favor: Quit Philosophy 100 and take business math 110. That said, there are people who call death metal 'music. It isn't

  • @skaha77 Google it...do whatever, WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT. And yes it can be music to some people, if it isn't why is this music (The Twist) almost never listened to anymore, but death metal is listened to quite a bit nowadays. Bro your comebacks suck... Do YOUR self a favor and except that you are some guy in his late twenties arguing with a 15 year old about what "real" music is and getting his ass kicked.

  • @xpro117 That's quite amusing. Me in my late 20's. In 1972 Alice Cooper released a song titled 'School's Out' . that same year I watched Canada beat Russia in what is the most famour hockey series ever played; outside the Stanley cup. when John F Kennedy was assassinated; I was in a first year History class. As for arguing with a teenager.. and getting my arse kicked. Your line 'just an opinion' is from the new age philospohy being foisted on kids this last deacde. It I.D's you

  • Comment removed

  • @xpro117 ... and you don't know what real music is. As for my 'sucky' comebacks; I honestly don''t care .. OBTW I was born the same year they dropped the two bombs on Japan

  • @bblackzero3

    Music might but every year had it own problem.

    Better start deal with it instead of go safe in the dream world/bunker.

  • @bblackzero3 We could use more people like you, my good sir. At 12, you sure know the good times.

  • I may only be 15, but at least I enjoy good music when I see it. That rap stuff is just flat out terrible.. I don't see how people can dance to it. This you can...

  • @mcspanx1229- thanks for commenting!  Ron

  • @mcspanx1229 heck yeah you can dance to this...plus! it makes you feel so good!

  • Peaple call me chubby Ya wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

  • This is what I call "Feel Good Music"!

  • one of my favorite songs, music today sucks, thats why i love the oldies

  • @soldadodedios702 to be honest todays music makes me sick to my stomache

  • i like this song because its great :D

  • How can you dislike this?

  • that's much better then some shit like disco music or rap thumbs up if you agree!

  • Love this song. I wish we had songs like this playing in the clubs. I would have so much more fun then listening that rap crap. This is stuff you can actually dance to. Most people my age would agree but whatever I don't care. I know I am gonna get asked so I am gonna say it now. I am 24.

  • @Gothicvampyressgwen1-thanks for commenting and I'm glad you enjoy this music! Ron

  • @Gothicvampyressgwen1 Im only 16 and I loves this song

  • @Zjinks1 That's awesome. I think it's cool when kids love this kind of music. Even cooler when they can dance to it. I do alot of stuff at my local performing arts theatre and when this song comes on the radio all the people who grew up when this song came out where surprised I could dance to it.

  • @Gothicvampyressgwen1 I can't believe anyone would dislike this song its a classic

  • @Zjinks1 True.

  • @Gothicvampyressgwen1 im only 14 and i agree with you. rap, pop, hip-hop, its all retarded crap thats not even good. todays singers use altered recording of their voice and get rich. its awful.

  • @SuperLegopants Yep. I agree hun. Some of today's music is okay but after the 70's it started going downhill. Some 80's music is okay but only Prince,Michael jackson and some rock.

  • very catchy and happy song

  • I know they brought back "Louie, Louie", Kingsmen version, and it charted again. Same with "Wipeout" by the Surfaris, right? Did either make #1?

  • never thought mortal combat and this song would go together, but i've been proven wrong

  • this song rocks

  • ...Psycho, Belgians in the Congo.

  • If the past times came back for even one day. That would make one day good enough to remember.

  • @Spattinfire I couldn't agree with you more--but that 1 day would go by like a second. Maybe 3-6 months would be better.(LOL)

  • The 50's music makes 2010 music look like shit

  • this is my fAVORITE SONG

  • its so catchy, and I just want to start shaking it

  • @cell9899- go ahead and dance with the characters on the video! Ron

  • I was TWISTIN' in my seat!

  • I was four and I remember this song well. I can remember adults twisting to this song.

  • I'm 15 and i LOVE this song! :)

    and yes, i'm a fan of justin bieber, rihanna, usher, lady gaga, whatever...

    But this beats everything! it's awesome :D it makes me kinda happy ^^

  • Chubby Checker's music was so likeable that it shattered racial barriers at a time in this country's history when segregation was the RULE. Now that's POWERFUL!!

  • A singer name Hank Ballard of Hank Ballard and the Mdiniters wrote and recorded the twist first. If you listen to his version, Chubby sang it just about note for note. Both had similiar voices. Because of the politics in those days Hank Ballard's version did not do much; maybe the timing was wrong. Chubby picked it up later, and the song took off with the involvement of Dick Clark (politics) from my research. I belive Hank sung the song in 1958 or 59. Check Hank out on Youtube.

  • @stevensph Your stupid they sound nothing alike

  • @stevensph haha i read about this in uncle johns bathroom reader[no not just for the bathroom!] but i was pretty shocked, i always thought it was an original!

  • makes me feel like a boy again

  • how can 4 people hate this??? music wouldn't be alive today if this music never existed

  • THIS SONG JUST MAKES U WANNA GET UP AND DANCE WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 top songs

  • Twist!

  • My wife and I planning on throwing 60's themed new year's party and need a play-list of songs like this one... pls help

  • @farazshaikh On facebook, there is a group called Golden Tunes - Sound of Oldies, look it up in the facebook search. They put up like 6 or so songs a day. theres already about 200 up there.

  • i heard this in spiderman 3 :))))

  • The classic intro! The snare drum immediately followed by the sax. Truly music to my ears. Even though this was his only real big hit, still his influence was huge, and it's odd that he isn't in the R and R Hall of Fame. Saw him interviewed recently on a program from N. Y. called "Profiles," hosted by MIckey Burns. He's clearly not happy about it either. He said that Dick Clark has never invited him to events he's hosted over the years. How come? He's about as r n r as you can get!

  • im ten and i love the oldies

  • all i have to say is respect the oldies

  • reminds me being at my aunts in the summer when i was little lad good times!

  • The Twist - Chubby Checker [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania] - No.01 on 8/8//1960. 15 weeks Top 40. - "Gold hit. AMG Pick. ...his most famous hit, 'The Twist,' remains the yardstick against which all subsequent dancefloor phenomena are measured. Written by Hank Ballard in 1959 that made the charts at number 16." - Cameo Parkway 1957-1967 [Box Set, Original Recording Remastered] (ABKCO)-2005.

  • chubby checker and the fat boys doing the twist

  • Thank you Ron.. Very Cool video!*****!

  • one of the best songs in the world! its wayyy tight!

  • this song just makes me feel good :)

  • (8) 

  • I quite literally got high from this song.

  • no can sit to this!!

    COME ON BABY!!

  • My FAVE SONG of ALL TIME!

  • The twist is turning 50 in September. Chubby is turning 69 October 3rd and still going strong. What does that tell you? Rock and roll keeps you young. Keep twistin America!

  • HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY TO THE TWIST!

  • @DebiNga - yes Happy Birthday! This song was released 50 years ago! Ron

  • SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT RAPPING CRAP ISN'T IT!!!!!!!!!

  • @Shadowlord316- you are so right! Ron

  • @Shadowlord316 oh God YES

  • @Shadowlord316

    Rap'll never be around as long as real music like this.

  • @111Chance EXACTLY!! I just don't understand why, for one anyone would wanna listen to something they cant even understand, and two, me being a christian, I really hate how it cusses, but everyone seems to love it..... I just think it's stupid!

  • @Shadowlord316 it is not

  • @Shadowlord316 nooo!

  • @1994jjm yes

  • @Shadowlord316 Comparing a single song to an entire genre of music in a sweeping general statement is pretty worthless. Both of Chubby Checker's top hits ("(Let's) Twist Again", and "The Twist") are pretty one dimensional (the same dance and same time signature). He has a medium vocal range, the instrumentation is rudimentary with almost 0 change ups, the lyricism is mediocre (this and twist - monosyllabic slant rhyme.) and lacks creativity. This = 50's version of LFO. I still love it, though.

  • this song is ridiculously good. i cant stop but bop to this

  • @skezerone- yes, it really has a great beat doesn't it! Ron

  • @skezerone 'let's twist again' is equally awesome imo!

  • I did this for my talent show in kindergarden!!! everybody loved it !!!!!! i did the hulahoop not tryin to brag but i think im very good
