The Beatles - Twist and Shout (with Jimmy Nicol)

1964 http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.... Watch more: http://lifeofthebeatles.blogspot.com/

"Twist and Shout" is a song written by Phil Medley and Bert Berns. It was originally titled "Shake It Up, Baby" and recorded by the Top Notes and then covered by The Isley Brothers. It was covered by The Beatles with John Lennon on the lead vocals and originally released on their first album Please Please Me. The song was covered by The Mamas & the Papas (in the style of a ballad) in 1967 on their album Deliver, and on a film soundtrack by Cliff Richard. It was also covered by The Tremeloes. Most recently Chaka Demus and Pliers (featuring Jack Radics and Taxi Gang) reached No. 1 on the UK charts with their version in January 1994. The Who performed it throughout their career, most notably on Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 and 1982's Who's Last.

The Beatles' version of the song enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in 1986 after Matthew Broderick lip synced it in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Coincidentally, the Rodney Dangerfield film Back to School (released two days after Ferris) also featured the song, this one sung by Dangerfield himself and patterned after the Beatles' arrangement. The use in the two films help propel the single up the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 23 late that summer, giving the group their second chart single of the 1980s (the other being "The Beatles Movie Medley" in 1982). The song's seven week run in the U.S. Top 40 in 1986, combined with its original 16-week run in 1964, makes Twist And Shout the longest running Top 40 hit for the Beatles at 23 weeks. * In the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) engages an entire parade and downtown Chicago in song and dance to "Twist and Shout". It uses the Beatles version, but Paul McCartney was upset that horns were arranged over the track. * In an episode of Full House, Jesse persuades Michelle's class to sing "Twist and Shout" rather than "The Wheels on the Bus." * In an episode of A Different World, Whitley sings "Twist and Shout" on top of a bar when she and Kim decide to go out during their Thanksgiving break. * In the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Benjamin and Daisy watch the Beatles' performance of the song on The Ed Sullivan Show. * The Beatles' version is used in the game Karaoke Revolution Volume 3. * On Strictly Come Dancing the song was danced to by John Sergeant and Kristina Rhianoff. * The Beatles's version is used in a commercial for WSBE, PBS KIDS. * It is also sung by Coventry City, Preston North End, West Ham United and Barnet fans, and played before games. * It is performed by Dale Gonyea with J.R. & the Z-Man in a scene from the film Tuff Turf. * In the TV movie The Jacksons: An American Dream, The Jackson 5 is shown performing the song at a the Apollo Theatre. * It is the opening track in the Career mode of The Beatles: Rock Band.

Thumbs up for John's incredible voice.

[AkiroXKE]

Paul and George are clearly singing along with the track, but John is mainly lip-syncing. I think they were unsure of Jimmy Nichol's ability to copy Ringo's drumming.

[EdwardAlexanderSmall]

I love the beatles. But definitely lip-synching! watching the drummer at the start and he does none of the rolls and fills. But there still heard! AAHHH
