My parents got married in 1960 at 22 years old and moved into a suburban Pittsburgh, PA neighborhood. They told me they would sometimes do the Twist with the neighbors across the street. I always smile and think of that when i hear this song. This song is just pure fun and joy!
This song realized me since I was just 7 years old, my grandfather played this song on his radio and brought me to his garden with water sprinkler and dance with him. I had stopped crying completely, always missing you grandpa ❤
Takes me right back to my second year in Med School in 1957. Makes me smile when I think of those innocent,naive yet highly enjoyable times. Well....maybe in truth they were not totally innocent and naive, but I sure enjoyed them.I did that damned dance so much its a wonder I didn't end up with bilateral dislocated hips. Thanks for posting this and bringing back happy memories to an old guy.
I absolutely love this song sooo much better music than the crap today. I was born in the 80’s but will listen to this music anytime. Love chubby checker he’s so underrated and this song is a classic.🤗
This was the biggest song of that year. And is still remembered to this day. I love the way we don't see chubby checker in his own music video. Only from the point of view that we are involved in the fun. He doesn't need to be on the screen. He is letting the music do all the talking and shows us what this song is all about - 'come on..let's twist again!!!' I agree that Checker was an underrated singer and I also agree that this is a legendary song!!🎉🎉
It’s so funny seeing this twist dance because my great grandfather who was born in the 1800’s was a dance professor and taught dancing with my great grandmother and the 5 oldest kids all worked in the studio. My grandmother and great uncle were the youngest but I have an article he wrote for the Baltimore Sun where people were trying to block these kinds of dancing from starting with the twisting and hips moving and he was all for it and looked forward to the progression of dance. He always felt dancing and music brought everyone together according to what I was told.
My wife and I dated in 11th grade and went steady after school was behind us we continued dating we. Got married n 65 we have been married 59 years I was drafted in 66 sent to Vietnam 11 and half months to my wife yrs have been great we both retired and living the dream Jesus has been so good to us,
dopey comment ... check his record sales, no one hits no. 1 twice with the *same record* by having an underappreciated voice enough with the 'underappreciated' 'underrated' comments, people, they're under thought out
I agree. Too bad the comments are filled with asshats disparriaging modern music Why can't you just like older music without being a dick, and acting like your opinion on music is the end-all-be-all
Sure, Georgian (a country in the Caucasus) dances are the best ones in the world, but I always fall speachless when I see the American dances “Boogie Woogie Woogie” and “Let's Tweest Again.” Nothing more beautiful and incendiary has ever been created by mankind. I love America for this dances.
I am 61 and love to watch and dance this twist...If only we can turn back the hands of time..my mother and father would be very happy,,82and 84,,they love to dance this song..
This song from 1961 was an absolute banger from back then. They all loved those old dance fads and trends as common as the dab in a song from 2015. They might as well party and turn the speakers up on Fridays like it’s 1960! 🎉🎉🎉
This is December 2023 and this Chubby Checker's classic song continues to be exceedingly exciting, exceptionally electrifying, enormously energetic, exclusively entertaining, elating and entertaining. ❤❤❤
They did no such things....maybe the kids were too busy 'twistin' the night away'. Perhaps you were just fantasizing. Although Jerry Lee Lewis might have been...............
at 56 years old so many memories and it starts to feel like so little time! this is the start of our my musical journey right here! thanks for posting!
67 till next month and I remember watching this show those were the good old days I’m laying in bed just having a total knee replacement surgery this past Monday the 12/18/20 and I’m doing the twist while I’m laying down I love and miss those days
J'ai grandi avec ce genre de musique génération 86. Mon oncle qui se faisait des roulés et ces vinyles... la bonne époque on ne se prenait pas la tête... et maintenant c'est💶💣💥😷😥. Tout sa me manques. Quelqu'un à une machine à remonter le temps où connaitrais McFly par hasard on sais jamais
Chubby Checker made this dance popular worldwide. It was #1 on the billboard charts not once but TWICE. No other hit has done that, in the words of Dick Clark. This shaker is just plain fun!
24 years old and Ive always felt like i should have been living in this time. Nothing about being a young man is exciting anymore, just degeneracy and rap culture. Nobody seems to care?? At least I can feel at home when I listen to these old tunes.
hey man. go to a fighting gym. learn some boxing, bjj, or wrestling. get in shape. become confident and start a business. you DON'T have to listen to degenerate rap or watch ugly streamers. reality is what YOU make of it.
“I’m bob Henderson and your listening to the golden greats of the 50’s on CKFD radio. Up next is one of my all time favorites, Chubby Checker and ‘Lets Twist Again’”.
This takes me back 30 years. Imagine yourself walking on the sidewalk with your friends from an old restaurant while the sun sets and make beautiful Colors on the sky.
Mr Devolver. im 38, as my earlier yrs i recall my pop's stating i had just missed those good ol times. back when music was interesting and good. as different songs had been playin he had been mentioning different things that happed and took place around that point of time. interesting you and myself would have enjoyed those times. but i have sibblings and neices and nephews i just couldn't trade.
yes we did have lots of fun miss the good ole days the 1960s was a blast i can remember like yesterday mom at the record player spinnin them 45s dad at the BBQ wow the fun we had i was a just a kid & i love the 1960s & 50s now days never come Close to dance & music we have, take a good look at all the fun we were having !! GOD BLESS !
I hate the fact that all these people are gone now, at the same time i feel happy for them, because they had a beautiful life, with good cars, good music & good taste.
Every Party we went to, The Twist Happened! I remember my Parents and the whole family twisting. The parties lasted all night. :-) Aww the good old 60s.
Younger generation here. When the help came out I was 7 or 8. When hilly goes to tell skeeters mom she wrote the book was my favorite part to dance. Lol love this song.
Que belleza de baile, que pasos tan bien marcados, q bien acompañados con las tonadas del Twis adoró este tema verlos bailar es remontarse en el tiempo es estar alli❤❤❤
My God - this reminds me of the most beautiful time of my life, when in our town we skated with pretty girls on the most beautiful ice rink in the world on a lake in a beautiful park, where lights illuminated the area through willow leaves. And then the service building's microphone started, "Twist again" - just the memory is bringing tears to my eyes!
I was @ a Dive Bar and someone put this song on, everyone started twisting to this song. It was wild. People actually got off their bar stools and joined in with others to dance! Good Times
I was just 6 years old when I listened to this song and... Tonight I discovered this song again, I'm so so sooo happy right now! 🤩🤩 I didn't expect to find it, yehuuu what a coincidence! 😎🤩😍🥰😄😆
people really seemed to be having a lot of fun in the 60’s but let’s not forget that this is arguably the most tumultuous 10 year period in American history (1960-1969), although The Twist came out before all of the craziness started.
Honestly that generation was pure evil filled with racists filths, while enjoying the entertainments from black folks. Not much better in the 2020s tho, maybe just a bit.
@@kimberlyjohnson5756 Haha. You’re very woke! Although, woke people in the 1960s have been outwoked to be considered racist. Your opinions will be considered racist in 5 years time like mine was. You will all be outwoked one day
I'm so jealous (and somehow nostalgic) right now... I wish I could go to a party like this and have real fun just like these people!!! They had no idea how blessed they were to enjoy real music! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
A time when people had class and manners, music was actually worth listening to and everything had character! What I would give to have lived in the 50s and 60s.
Yeah, class when they didn't let some people use a waterfountain or class when a woman was chastised for doing something even a little bit out there Scratch that, anyone doing anything a little out there.
I love seeing this - especially of the older folks dancing their heart's out - and fully in step! I suppose that the very good looking young dancers shown here are now at (or even passed) the very age as the "oldsters" shown here - well, that's life, isn't it? Cheers to all of those shown in this fun clip.
Thank you sir🙏. This video made my day. This hard days for all humanity made us be sad. This video made me smile and give me the hope everything will be fine. Sending to all of you kisses from Romania🙏👍. Be strong wherever you are now🇷🇴🙏
