@Hotroddeo69 The Beatles started the long hair. The Hippies were first and foremost Beatles fans, and music was almost more important than food.
The "Hippies" lived FIRST for the music, to which they engaged in the other two activities.

@Enterthedeath You're simply here to stir stuff up, right, child?
The Beatles revolutionized not only music and recording methods but also fashion, language, and everything else one can name outside music. They were hardly limited to covering old rockabilly tunes of the juvenile period of rock 'n roll.
Even those who didn't like or follow them knew their individual names.
They matured the music with thought and reflection, and expanded it beyond its rigidly limiting form.

@Coshka77 It involved no such thing as concerns this song. The "Hippy" movement began circa 1966, whereas this song, from 1959, was another name for the dance "The Twist," or signified the movement of one's hips while doing "The Twist".

@Informed104 The word "Hippy" as concerns social movements came into usage circa 1966, and was consciously associated to the "Beat" movement of the 1950s, and the their use of the word "Hip," as in, "I'm hip," meaning "I know" or "I'm aware," and or, "I agree."
In this instance it was associated with the dance "The Twist," and the dancer's hips.

@muffinisis The Swinging Blue Jeans released it commercially, whereas The Beatles did not. But it is debatable whether The Swinging Blue Jeans covered it before The Beatles did, unless one knows the date that The Swinging Blue Jeans were formed.
The Swinging Blue Jeans did have a hit with it. As to did it better? The Beatles performed it here in a club, recorded to single track mono. The Swinging Blue Jeans had the advantage of recordiing it in a recording studio.

@MrDmitrij34 The original Cavern was destroyed. You visited a replica.

@Butown The genesis of the word "Hippy" (in the plural, "Hippies") is the word "Hip," as used by the Beats during the 1950s.
The genesis of the word "Hippy" used in this song refers to the 1960s dance called "The Twist".

@MrEvanboydstun I'm sure he's sobbing his eyes out all the way to the bank.
@thedillestpickle I think the word "hippy" here is in reference to hips, as in shaking one's boo-tay.

14 people spilled their hippy hippy shake.
I miss The Beatles anyway, I wish the John & George were still alive today.
