Chubby Checker - The Twist (Official Music Video)
Celebrate the 60th anniversary of “The Twist“ with new commemorative releases:
Follow the iconic dance craze that was “The Twist,” made famous by Chubby Checker from the sixties through today. “The Twist” first went to #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Chart in September of 1960. The music video incorporates footage of Chubby’s October 22, 1961 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in the wake of “The Twist” having again gone to #1 on the Hot 100 earlier that year, a feat never equaled in the decades that followed.
““The Twist““ by Chubby Checker
Composer: Hank Ballard
Come on, baby
Let’s do the twist
Come on, baby
Let’s do the twist
Take me by my little hand
And go like this
E-yah, twist
Baby, baby, twist
Ooh yeah, just like this
Come on, little miss,
And do the twist
My daddy is sleepin’
And mama ain’t around
Yeah, daddy’s just sleepin’
And mama ain’t around
We’re gonna a-twist, a-twist, a-twistin’
’Til we tear the house down
Come on and twist
Yeah, baby, twist
Ooh yeah, just like this
Come on, little miss
And do the twist
E-yah
Yeah, you should see my little sis
You should see my, my little sis
She really knows how to rock
She knows how to twist
Come on and twist
Yeah, baby, twist
Ooh yeah, just like this
Come on, little miss,
And do the twist
Yeah
That’s all right
Yeah, twist all night
Twist
