chubby checker " the fly"

[ELVIS4221]

FATS = CHUBBY

DOMINO = CHECKER

THIS IS ONE THE VERY BEST ROCK AND ROLL SONGS EVER. BUT DONT EVER FORGET 20 MILES IS A LONG LONG WAY

[Landaux]

Sounds just like someone holding hair clippers to the mic at the beginning for the FLY sound!.

[GuyJon57]

as usual, no blacks dancing... how sad...

[Alikah1]

@GuyJon57 Did you ever wonder whether had there been integrated dancing on these "mainstream" shows of the 50s and 60s, there might never have been SOUL TRAIN in the 70s because no one would have seen the need?

[cs100443]

on a tellement twitter sur cette chanson qu'on avait les jambes lourde le lendemain on avait une ambiance quasi comme la video hein ! marina

[anutzadoditza]

this just twisted my sox out!!!

amazing! :))))))

[bazthehandyman]

Fab sound and some awesome dancing !!

[doozydoozy]

What a ton of fun!

[macvatu]

Chubby was the craze the world over in the early sixties. I was in the military in Germany and it was hit there too, and Holland and the UK. The twist was really great and thanks to the movie camera we now see how it was invented. Image the many things invented hundred or more years ago with no footage of them. Thank your lucky stars, we never had it so good, eh???

[debbiedamooseful]

@macvatu Hey, first of all.....thanks for serving! I was a "military brat" at the time of the "Fly". My Mom and Dad were stationed in Germany before I was born. Keep in touch?

[Nabila28814]

you gotta shake your ass to the sky?

[amvfan82]

I wasnt born in this era but i love the way they dance, it makes me want to dance along

[ODAIROMERO]

Isso é que é musica. sensacional.

[aquarius17grade]

[denisjl100]

@nish147 who?

[Chuck1974]

The twist, the slow twist, the pony, the limbo, the popeye, the fly ... he did a song for just about every dance out there back in the 1960s, I suppose. Fun song, fun dance, fun vid ... thanks for posting it.

[entity909]

ZUMBA eat your heart out lol



[MrAiranS]

[thecountofbasie]

[annabell1955]

[macvatu]

[Raggarbruden10001]

[Donna195553]

aman jojobug i will agree with you there

[Doughno]

Is the Backup Band the Carroll Brothers? It looks kike Pete Carroll on lead guitar.

[thecountofbasie]

@Doughno I believe it is...can't remember which Twist movie it was, but I know the Carroll Brothers are in at least one

[jojobug45]

People were thinner back then b/c food wasn't filled with pesticides and hormones as it is today. Also, people didn't eat as much back then and there wasn't internet and computers to allow ppl to sit on their asses all day while snacking on cheetos and soda.

[debbiedamooseful]

@jojobug45 That's why we called him "Chubby" Checker. Stop being dumb.

[danbennerdotcom]

Just watching that dancing makes me tired.

[64goldenoldies]

i remember this dance too the (t) excellent video chubby was and still is excellent long live chubby

[FMorales40]

lol real cool song from my times wow....get the can of raid to kill all this flys

[sexymama1966]

[compukenny]

I saw chubby in concert many years ago. Man the memories this brings back!

[1964jazzbass]

ouaaaaaa

[missusestlady]

danced and enjoyed themselves without pads

[XxCheekyPaddyxX]

I never go to clubs, but I would totally join chubby twisting! :D

[axcrewe]

[chulpitostado]

[emilben1]

Твист - танец моих родителей!!!

[wezzelman1]

that was the time without all the shit on the world

[PoolPlayrChick]

@freddylongone The one with the long blonde hair? That is Georgine Darcy she played Ms Torso in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. And my 2nd cousin! She passed away in 2004

[dragonplumnuts]

@PoolPlayrChick

[ruedadelasierra]

[bhatoshai]

MAtando Mosca aygasygsyag

[allbuttssoldout]

Noticed not one black couple dancing - they weren't invited (or should I dare say, allowed).

[mansfieldification]

damn.......they are good........

[111sienna]

i love the electric hair clippers used for the fly effect..........

[ladyfuzz1966]

wicked tune

[museack]

@afriendoflife

Who cares? The females are good to look at. Can you say the same for your ethnic bunch?

[ElCid48]

He should be dubbed in Spanish and French Canadian.

Can't stand this shit!

[ElCid48]

No gays, no lesbians, no handicapped people...WTF!!!

[ElCid48]

Why, no Chinese in this video???

No Puerto Ricans, no Mexicans, no Vietnamese, no Japanese, no American indians???

This is a case for the Supreme Court on the grounds of DISCRIMINATION!!! Damn it!

[torturedpneuma]

She's the one I was watching!

[moonbaby77]

i love the white freakish dances!!!

[veganaaron]

Why no people of color in the video... Hmmmm.

[moonbaby77]

maybe the lack of civil rights during the time had to do with that.. sucks.

[MICKEYSMONKEY]

@moonbaby77 you think?....hmmmm.....interestin­g concept.......chuckle.

[museack]

@veganaaron

cause they were out smoking dope, popping hub caps, and at the welfare office that day.

[turbo1964]

WOW!

[dianamaryflorence]

This was not around for very long. I remember the dance very well though.

[thecountofbasie]

Is it me, or does this one sound like the Dave Clark Five learned how to play listening to it? Truly great song, if somewhat (amiably) goofy clip (this is Don't Knock The Twist, I think...fun flick if you can catch it)

[Diegoshigueokato]

francamente tenho 1 lp n sei q ano q e mas muito bom

[MrAugustojunior]

É o Elvis? é os beattles? não é o Rei Chub checker!!!!!!!!!!

[lhachmi123456]

goooooood musika

[dlphcoracl]

Chubby's back up band for this gig is sensational. Classic early '60's rockers.

[beatlejim64]

Chubby's best record....

[ryanwilliammac]

people noweredays are too scared to dance because of the two faced bastards who slag them of, this happened to me when i just wanted to dance causing me to not do it anymore

[sedroc99uk]

thats sad why give into what others think or say they r the ones who have the problem,

[danielix11]

In 1960 people can have fun

[Perfoillusion]

Yeah. Lets twistin!

[musicfreak1967]

it rocks!!!! awesome!!!

[revnstpaul]

sweet sax, my 3 year old son loves the fly...

[DanRafter365]

They jamming up in there....I like when he starts the song off looking like he looking at a fly then starts shaking his hands and hips. And White people had a dance to it too!!! Chubby Checker in rare form. Do the Fly...Ha!

[outsidemyself]

so awesome. Instant love

[maidenslayer]

Old school mosh :P

[myrustycat]

It was good exercise to music and people were thinner during that time frame.

[sudeman48]

Everybody in this video is under 30 yrs old they should be thin. Those were the good old day's 1959 through 1964 best music ever. long live rock!!!

[contact1araya]

@myrustycat How bout' Chubby?

[OPIHIMAN678]

@myrustycat people were thinner because Speed was legally sold, and there a wide range of other stimulants readily available for everyone.

[eatty]

@myrustycat You're STUPID.

[DetKostar20Kr]

Chubby Checker!!! <3

[sunzwiked123]

ummm

i like that

[excoam]

Is a good lesson of dance twist !!

[4211870]

cool .....

[wadepreston]

Is that an electric razor in the audio to mimic the fly? That's pretty funny.

[bewaremylove]

After what's been going into the R&R Hall of Fame lately, Chubby deserves to fly & twist in next year! There aren't many really BIGGER songs than Hound Dog, The Twist & I Want To Hold Your Hand. The Twist hit #1 two different times, that alone should get him in.

[nlamuty666]

He is the best....fuck the rest!!!! Thats the truth!!!!YeaaaHH!!!!

[nlamuty666]

He is the best....fuck the rest!!!! Thats the truth!!!!YeaaaHH!!!!

[aspirationsdream]

Must be the origins of that intergalactic song. The fly sounds remind me of it.

[CdRullzzz]

their dancing is kinda funny:)) ... but then again, maybe if they saw the dancing nowadays, they would have found us very strange.

[GTFD2HOUSE]

look at all those pitiful f#$%s on the dance floor

[PlatteLeuben]

dont forget that without those "pitiful" people there would be no handbanging, raving or whatever people today are dancing to nowadays music. that is evolution. and it was revolution that time. and i love it :)

[PlatteLeuben]

hand = headbanging. sorry.

[1962Vlad]

To jest to co lubią Tygrysy! To jest muzyka dla prawdziwych ......!

[Annie10k]

LOL!... :)

[JOSEDIAZNUILA]

he rocks!!

el es el mejor!!!

[momofjenmatt]

so weird it's all white kids dancing

[Cicdolfin]

there's not a single kid there.

[kyraleighsdad]

so what's your point?

[Janster59]

whoo baby!!! I thought he lived in louisville Ky

[Janster59]

most sucesses are....hey is that an electric razor on that song????

[naylortube]

Wow, sounds like a messed up dude, if that's the case.

[naylortube]

What has he done that everyone needs to know?

[ChubbyCheckerChannel]

mono gordo

[ChubbyCheckerChannel]

[geneciss]

[gmonday]

[computes41]

in my opinon the twist is better but chubby checker rules

[Wholelotofshakingoin]

Probably one of the worlds best entertainers.

[AcePilot101]

the fly, electric buzz (feedback fuzzy guitars, whammy bars, foot pedals..)

Jimi Hendrix

eats his guitar on stage..:(

[kenslavin1961]

What a hoot!  It's great!

[imusfan48]

She can get in my "Fly" anytime! But alas she is probably fat and over 50.

[Gwhitebeard]

YOUTUBE is the ultimate time machine... 1961 = 46 yrs so that blonde must be about 67!! Arg.

[behdoc]

My favorite Chubby song!

[karinaport]

Mine too!! My all time Chubby Checker favorite LP`s are It`s Pony Time!(Parkway 7003) and Let`s Twist Again(Parkway 7004). Loved Chubby Checker In Person(Parkway 7021) too!!

Carlos Chubby Portugues

Puerto Rico

[beatlejim64]

Entered the Billboard Top 40 on October 2,1961...It got as high as # 7..It stayed in the Top 40 for 11 weeks..

My favorite Chubby Checker song!!

[Liece123]

thats when people actually danced in the clubs, instead of just freak on each other all the time =/

[Kanylneger]

How can he be so awesome?

[lindaguadalajara]

[Michi1374]

Good Vidoe. He lives in Philadelphia. He lives still in the same house like 40 years ago.
