[royraaijmakers]

[dkstryker]

God i want to see him!

[godofwar1527]

lol if u hered it over the radio for the first time i think u would problaly be thinking sumthing different ;=}

[2008DAREWINNER]

This was Chuck's only number one U.S. hit, sad isn't it? Now we claim to be the "Rock n' Roll nation" and one of the Father's of Rock had this as his only hit in America? C'mon man, Roll Over Beethoven, or Johnny B. Goode? I want to know what the people of the past in the U.S. were too busying playing with their ding-a-lings to actually go buy some classic Chuck records! I'm not knocking ding-a-ling, I love it 'cause Chuck is so great and funny when he sings this song.

[SweetSue4]

I didn't realize that Chuck will be 84yr young this yr. Keep on rockin Chuck! We still love you!

[SweetSue4]

I didn't realize that Chuck will be 84 yrs young this yr. keep on rocking Chuck! We still love you!

[Tomcaatt]

Pass me that bottle chuck

[DeadJ0ker27]

Why does he rush it now? All the new clips are rushed.

[dianaispassionate]

OMG, totally brought back childhood memories!

[dtruck29]

That was AWESOME  died laghing. 5 FUCKIN STARS!!!!

[Bikerdude69]

This is Chucks song. No one else wrote it. he has performed it hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of times. he can perform it however he wants. Remember Nirvana went mainstream and got tired of the mainstream crowd and performed completely ad lib every show? This sounds GREAT to me! Loads of fun! I wish I could have been there! Thanks, Chuck!

[Aeropostale12996]

yall give him a break he is old

[luizaustinpowers]

10 muitobommmmmmmmmmmm

[rockerruss555]

Wow, he totally lost the tempo to this song....and the chords....dont wanna go there!...CHUCK STILL RULZ!!!!!

[SimonW]

He didn't lose the tempo or the chords - he just had fun with it.

[hambone9119]

Chuck Berry is awesome personally he blew Elvis away C

[DeadJ0ker27]

@hambone9119 Hell yeah he did.

[daz1200]

hes a bit too fast here. but still love the song lol

[sd5666]

still has style

[loc645]

every time i hear this song i have to get my ding a ling out and play with it...lol

[exie88]

Gosh this song is the greatest! can always put me in the best of moods. lol

[forsaken15]

this is gay

[typicalaussiebloke]

This song always cracks me up because of the double entendre of what a ding-a-ling is. The verse in this song about sunday school... When they started Sunday school, they try to teach me the golden rule, n that is it's a sin to play with your ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling lol

[lhmran]

Much too much hating on these Chuck Berry concerts...

I've read a little of all your comments lately, and only three things valuable have been said :

1. He does this for fun, not for money

2. I'd rather be to this concert than in some 'sentimental rap' concert

3. He's guitar is horribly out of tune

[LichtorWright]

Another thing to remember, he's in his 80s now, close to 90 years old, it's amazing he can even walk, let alone play a guitar..

[wildrock562]

k seriously God exists, he created everything

[GuzziHeroV50]

tard

[2Dbloodline]

Prove it.

[soulcaliburplayer13]

i had to write a paper for school on this guy hes so funny XD

[JamesTiberiusKirk]

He has seen his best days, not nearly as good as in the old day . hes not doing it for money, just for fun. and thats what matters^^

[ducksRus223]

:P x

[melkiemelkie]

Funny this was his only number 1-hit.

Dear Chuckie...please...sell your guitar...buy a chair and take a seat.

It's now time to stop.

I'm glad Elvis died. This is embarrassing.

[Rockinfreakapotomi]

Why would you slander a video for those of us who like Chuck's music? Elvis was a fat sad man in his later years, and took the coward's way out.

Looks like Chuck here has more strength of character than your precious "King"

See? You didn't like that now did you. So get out of the habut of attemoting to incite trouble where your comments aren't welcome or warranted.

[melkiemelkie]

Elvis couldn't handle his fame. A fame Chuck never knew.

[FreddiesDelilah]

a fame which finally destroyed the king.

and see, chuck is still singing and having fun and where is elvis?

where his fame put him.

[melkiemelkie]

better dying young then ending like this.

very sad.

[yahan01]

this guy is like 80 years old omg. If you ever heard him in his younger days. He was great. and guess what he still around playing where Elvis o yeah dead.

[yahan01]

"If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'."John Lennon

[xtremeboost4eva]

my doodle doodle doo lmao!!!

[levi101010]

i thought the song was great and it made me feel like a child again. i cant wait to play with my ding a ling.

[GCA333]

CHUCK FOREVER! The true king of rock'n'roll.

[rutger5000]

People like Chuck Berry make me wish I didn't believe in God. So I could worship Chuck Berry instead of God.

[Muskadash]

Are you serious?

[rutger5000]

No of course not. I'm only joking. I do love chuck berries music though.

[razorblade967]

I can tell you that there is no god so you are free to worship Chuck Berry

[rutger5000]

The fact that God doesn't exist isn't a reason not to believe in him. I'm almost 100% certain that God doesn't exist, yet everbody needs something to believe in. So why not God? Christianity isn't a bad religion.

[brainsyck]

muskadash sucks dingalings

[kashpc]

lol, don't behave like a fucking arsehole muskadash

[isvash]

why the fuck listen to a song if ur gonna post hate messages

[Muskadash]

Well, I had to listen to it before I decided whether or not I hate it.

[treemonisha2006]

I love Chuck Rock Berry!!!!

[mavis41558]

Maybe Chuck just had a slow day - go look at another video on YouTube

"My Ding-A-Ling" into "Roll Over Beethoven" into "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" live @ BB King's - 6 June 2008

Look at the thrill the keyboard player has playing with Chuck. Hired $10.00 per hour union backing guys or not, I'd PAY to play with Chuck for just one song, just to get to look for his one pick in the bushes. Everyone sits on their heinies in obscurity and Chuck (maybe Little Richard) created it all for US. DIE

[1oldirishman]

Stop writing shite. He is an old man. He was a 'wicked' musician, and a king of Rock And Roll. Be grateful that you've lived in the same era!

[Muskadash]

"the song is still about a dick,"

Yes, and it's sung by one, as well.

[Muskadash]

I wonder if he plays with his dingaling while watching his videos of women taking a dump?

[treemonisha2006]

I see you love criticizing Chuck Rock, muskadash, so what instruments do you play, how many cd's have you put out and how many hits have you written?

[Muskadash]

But you don't have to be a successful professional musician to see that Chuck Berry can't play or sing anymore. Time to retire!

[rutger5000]

people are allowed to grow older. And they are allowed to be proud of what they achieved. Even if this music would make glass shatter, and it made small children cry we shouldn't critize it. Because of the amazing music he made in the past. At least that's how I feel.

[kc7fys]

Noting his hour had passed (actually less than 50 minutes, since 10 had been spent trying to persuade Berry to allow the venue to use video presentation) he immediately walked off the stage, directly away from the audience, passing the drums and to the safety railing at the back of the stage. Being unable to find an opening in the safety fence, he climbed over it with his guitar and girlfriend in tow and hopped in his rental car, driving off. That was the experience we had with Chuck.What a guy.

[kc7fys]

he hadn't arranged for another. His girlfriend, who was seated on the folding chair at the side of the stage, jabbed her finger downward, pointing out the pick in the shadows—and he still couldn't find it. He went to the mic and invited the harmonica player from The Fabulous Thunderbirds to come out and take a solo while he crawled around looking for that one pick. He finally found it, and resumed performing. However at one point—midway through a song, he checked his watch for the last time.....

[kc7fys]

The Fabulous Thunderbirds played a dynamite sweaty set and whipped the crowd up well. Berry showed up 20 minutes before his curtain time and when asked by the backing session men what songs they would be playing his riposte was, "Chuck Berry songs." He brought his guitar, girlfriend, a folding chair, and a single pick. As he was going onstage, he told the technical staff to shut off the video projection screens—that he wouldn't perform with them. This is a very large outdoor venue, and these....

[kc7fys]

driven directly to the state fairgrounds on their own. The backing musicians hired for the evening were seasoned locals, familiar with Berry's oeuvre—as one might well be in such a position. They had hoped for a brief soundcheck with Mr. Berry, however. Chuck parked his rent-a-car behind the stage area—which had no backdrop, nothing, just the drum kit, keyboards and odd amps. Berry stipulated that a backline amp be provided, something from the 1950's which was quite hard to locate and expensive.

[kc7fys]

I was talking to a friend yesterday over dinner. He runs a Midwestern State Fair and coordinates the talent, and they had hired Chuck Berry to play. They'd gotten the Fabulous Thunderbirds to open, and contracted Mr. Berry roughly 35,000USD for a single 60-minute set. His rider stipulated that he be provided with a drummer, bass player and keyboard/guitar person. They went to the airport to pick him up, and he wasn't there as planned. Apparently him and his girlfriend had rented a car and......

[thuggin760]

i dont like this version, the original was the best. Hes still awesome though :D

[RhonnieJhean]

Well, as much as I like Chuck Berry, this song is just umm...lmao. How shall I put it?....i have not many words, but two bells hanging from a string just sounds a tad similar to two testicles and a penis, am I right?

[jbeach05]

i'm sure that's the point

[RhonnieJhean]

No, cause he said in the song his grandma gave it to him...I dont think grannys go around handing dicks to their grandsons.

[CaptainPoopface]

the song is still about a dick, dont overanalyze it. thats the whole point.

[jbeach05]

the point is to make the song suggestive and refer to a penis. while at the same time make it fun and playful. you're the one who suggested the sexual reference to begin with.

[Rockinfreakapotomi]

It's a double entendre. The "toy" he is talking about is quite obviously intended to represent a penis. While the literal meaning of the song may refer to a toy with bells on it, Chuck was really trying to indicate that he was singing about a penis. Innuendo, Rhonnie.

[hellspawn0125]

lildave359390 ur a fucking ass raper

[lildave359390]

he was a child mulaster people!

[pisssss123]

realy

[eisbein65]

der wahre King of Rock`n Roll

[nedwerd]

4 letters l.o.l.z.

[JethroWilbury]

Wow, he changed the words drastically.

[Airborn14]

the live rock father!!!

[RAYSKOOL99]

Great Song. Chuck is the Best no matter how old he is.

[beastboylien]

He is reffering to a tamborine

[petesharky]

No it's 2 bells hanging on a string. Didn't you listen to the opening verse. His grand mother gave it to him. He just likes to play with it a lot and keep it safe from snapping turtles. LOL

[hanktified99]

this is a cool & funny song that most people sing, and don't admit to likeing, even tho they know it word for word, i have heard the original from the late 50's or early 60's and the later versions it still is a great party song!!!!!!!!!

[thiagop666]

the live rock father!!!

[simplydub]

i wanna play with my dinga ling

[TORONTO987654321]

I couldn't care if this guy couldn't play a G-tar, I still invite him to my summer bash house and toss toonies.... Hey will play the closed to the dingoling.

He has more spirit in him then most people in there 20's and he's over 80....

[Mariobrofromgametalk]

i was there lol! i live out of sioux city in nebraska i was hear and we were makin fun of him since he didnt come out right away...

saying he had to fix his hearing aid and get his dentures in lol

but he was good here

[BooBooLane]

Chuck is referring to a ring-ding toy orig. made in the the USA but now in China.

He is one of the 4 Immortals:

Bo Dee-Dee

Fatty D

Lil Richie.

And this is a great post. Thank you.

[geddylee92]

No, actually he is referring to his PENIS.

[BooBooLane]

Ever heard of the old hardcore punk band: "Rudimentary Peni"? You'd like them.

Rudi Peni.

[parkinson34]

Ill bet he'll O.D. on viagra

[djsartin]

Find the 1985 video here on YouTube...

it's the original song...not the first time he sang it..but the original lyrics..DJ

[SimpleDirection]

Its a joke every one knows he means a babies toy but whats funny about it is could also mean his.. . Mkai?

[ellum68]

Chuck Berry has mastered the art of the double entrande. Lol

[thejerryleelewisfan]

chuck berry didn't write this song ! no ?

[rocker931]

Yes he did. He was the first person to make it to the pop charts who has also made it to blues and jazz charts.

[haunter112]

Okay, children.

The lyrics clearly describe Chuck's "Ding-a-ling" as silver bells hanging on a string.

He's not, repeat, NOT referring to his penis, testicles, or any other body part.

The joke is that, in the U.S., the phrase "ding-a-ling" is a common euphemism for male genitalia.

The bawdiness of this song is easily inferred but not necessarily implied.

Comprende?

[kicior99]

do you know the word AMBIGUITY???

[geddylee92]

No, he is most definitely referring to hes PENIS.

Comprende?

[MrStabby909]

no, it's actually a children's song. It's about a couple of silver bells on a string.

[Qarols]

"no he is refferring to his penis, not a babies toy"...really?, are you joking?. my language is spanish and i don't understand this video?, answer me, really he is refferring about penis in this video???

[abebeau]

In the version he used to sing back in the 60's (much different to this one), the first said "the cutest little toy you every had", then describes bells on a string. Check related videos from 30 years ago and you'll hear his proper version :)

[ShortyLongstrokin]

LOL....I love this dirty old man.

[muskypuckers]

OMG, this is embarrassing.

[dawnnnate]

this is one of the greatest most fun shows ever. Everyone should see Chuck at least once. they'll keep you coming back & you have to love the bass player!

[slicknicknirvana]

thanks to viagra,he can still play with his dingaling!

[1060893]

This song is great. Over the years he's added new verses. LOL! They sound like dirty lymrics.

[gunnerdan]

rofl @ bassist

[naptownkilla187]

THATS JUST  CHUCK BARRY PEACE

[lesismoskvich]

yeaa..awsome !!so funny.he's a weirdow but i like him..wish my old man could be like him..or my selelf when i will be 80years old

[dagurisbest]

this guy is a legend and he sing while hes 80! bloody legend

[hugby]

dis song rocks

[PplKillALot]

omg freaks!

[relieve111]

I hate u

[ChuckIstheKing]

He is the real king of Rock´n´Roll!!!!!! No doubt

[minoanboy]

Not bad for 80+ yr young dude.

John Lennon once said, "If you must call rock and roll by another name, might as well call it Chuck Berry!"

Check his version when he was younger,

put you tube dot come here /watch?v=UrBh7egY6RI

[bouncychu]

lol give the guy a break ! he's old X= btw a dingaling is a babies toy. why must everyone be so sick and perverted all the time?

[gunnerdan]

i think the guy who wrote it meant it too be like that.

[acacacacademy]

no he is refferring to his penis, not a babies toy

[tyronelab]

sounds like he is in a rush to get it over with. still a classic song when he was in his prime and brilliant artist altogether

[maggot666punk]

hes clearly talking about his penis. thats all guys wanna do is play with their penis.

[emersonrbrito]

ELE TOMOU UNS GORÓ!

[hahnbird]

I think Chuck had a liquid lunch before he went on that day!

[ruthlesstoothless]

yeah, Ensure Plus!

[ruthlesstoothless]

yeah, Ensure Plus!

[DrEvilScientistMan]

This song was a kick when Chuck was still with it (sadly and amazingly his only number 1) lol, but these days it has an old pervert in the park vibe to it. It's like watching your grandfather awkwardly masturbate to a nursing home nurse. Hail, hail rock'n'roll though, I've seen Chuck Live twice and it was worth every wasted penny.

[Usubstitution]

the guy invented Rock & Roll and outlived most of his fans and copycats.

Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Kurt Cobaine are all dead and yet Chuck is still playing live shows 50+ years after his first hit... Legendary!!

[skinnydipper16]

this sounds horrible, wats wrong with him?

[ruthlesstoothless]

he's about 80 yrs old in this video. i don't know too many 80 yr olds who can rock out like that.

[brookealana81]

it sounds like the crowd are more into it then chuck himself. haha

[Juggalo5588]

well considering hes more than 80 years old and still playin live it happens, lol, but this was pretty funny.

[brookealana81]

haha pisser. i remember this song when i was growing up. Dad often played it.
