OMG WE CAN'T BELIEVE HE SAID THAT!!! CHUCK BERRY - MY DING A LING (REACTION) 

I was a senior in high school when this came out in 1972. Everyone was playing this song and the girls were just eating it up and laughing their buns off. My what a fun time we had back then. We took it all in with a grain of salt. What memories...Chuck sure gave us all one to remember. Priceless!

He didn’t say anything dirty. It’s all in “your” mind. 😄

This was Chuck's first gold record. There's a long session where he teaches the audience to sing. The boys sing "Ding A Ling." The girls sing "I want you to play with my." You can hear it fairly clearly on this recording.

Oh I forgot to tell this was in England and the Queen was in attendance.

This was in England! They had a great sense of humor. 😂

This particular clip is from Chuck's show at Lanchester Polytechnic Arts Festival, Coventry, England in June 1972, a week? long event featuring all kinds of music, from classical to Elton John. The audience is largely British students at the Poly (now a University). His show was filmed and recorded and instead of all his classic rccknroll numbers, THIS was the hit of the show. Pye Records released it as a single and it gave Chuck his first and only UK number One, it even kept Elvis' "Burning Love" off the top of the British chart. Before this he recorded essentially the same song as "My Tambourine" on his 1968 Frisco album, presumably because the record company didnt like the "rude" TingaLing lyrics. Ironically Ting a Ling was hated by the British rock n roll fans, the Teds etc, as they thought he wasn't staying true to his 50s RnR roots. But that's Chuck for you, always an entertainer, and never afraid to upset people.

Any Americans watching this might like to know u can see the whole show on Chuck Berry at the BBC 1972 .it's on line to view. All the best.

Chuck is the man...

We loved CHUCK BERRY's dingle a ling up here in the cold north too, greetings from Norway.

We knew how to have a good time , no one got they feelings hurt, it was great days

His first and only Number 1 song from the 50’s to the 60’s and finally to 1972

Just silliness and fun. Got to love it.

my grandmother used to laugh and let us listen as kids. damn, this made me choke up.

This was a very popular song. I had an album with this song but my grandmother heard the song and broke the album in half. So not everyone loved the song but it still makes me smile.

Even back then we all KNEW what he ment !

I remember when I was young and this song came out. We giggled at it. It's actually only a bit dirty in your mind. Listen to the first verse again. It explains what it is.

Chuck berry was one of a kind. I sure miss ole chuck. RIP 🙏🙏

There's a longer version of this song that has him talking to the audience at the beginning and you will be laughing for a long time. You should check it out...Also check out his song"Reelin` and Rockin`",You will love it.

i was 9 when yhis song came ou and everytime it would come om the radio id be singing along.. drove my mom nuts

Fun Fact : This was Chuck Berry's ONLY number one hit

Lmao........we used to play this every chance we could on the jukebox at the pool.......funniest song and performance

Chuck Berry, the real King of rock and roll.

Omg! I haven't heard this in years!!

The man was a genius. He could sing and play the hell out of his guitar.

He did this when he came to my college Frostburg State in 1968. He blew us away. One of the best concerts I have ever been at. He was such a great song writer and performer. An original.-Never to be duplicated.

I remember this song when I was kid. Everyone thought it was hysterical. FYI- it’s a cover. Chuck Berry did not write this. It was originally recorded in the 50s by another artist.

Such a fun song.

It was Chuck's only #1 hit. Believe that s*it? Crazy. Love this song. ❤❤❤❤

I wish you had gotten the video with the set up where he was teaching them their parts. It's so funny.

Uses to walk around in jr high singing this. This and Mac Davis HARD TO BE HUMBLE

The 70s were absolutely amazing. It didn't matter where you were from, there was always room for one more at any event.

You should check out the full 11 minute version

Just another example of his skill as a performer. This reconfirms the fact that music is suppose to bring joy.

I am so glad you played this treasure of sonf

Remember this from my teen years! Loved this song!

I remember singing this back in the day 🎸🇬🇧 R.I.P MR BERRY

Hay, you two, I just watched your video staring that crazy man, Chuck Berry. I am a sixty six year old grandmother now, but, when Chuck Berry released that song in 72, I was 16. We teens loved it, it was so funny, and of course the grownups was horrified. Lol! That song was censored back then, so I'm having a good time listening to it again. Ha ha ha, so much fun!

I've been waiting for you guys to do one! Thanks.

Reelin' and Rockin' from the same performance. Hilarious.

I remember we had this record at home. when my mam played it for us, we were so shocked cos it was rude But it was sooooo funnny. We used to sing it at school, so all the other kids would laugh. We'd get into trouble if the teachers heard us though.🤣🎶🤣🎤🤣🎼🤪

Y’all in for a treat!!!! Another good fun song is Wildwood Weed by Jim Stafford. 😂😂😂😂

I was a high school freshman when this was popular. I was in the band and we rode a bus to ballgames with the cheerleaders. There were always sing-a-longs to and from the games and this was the most requested song to sing! hahahahaha

The only sad thing about this song is that it was his biggest hit!!!

I taught my 7 year old grandson this song and he got in trouble singing it in school.

I've actually got this on an old '45... listened to it so much when I was a kid I'm surprised it still plays... but it does... and it's still just as funny!

I saw Chuck Berry in concert at Madison Square Garden in the early 70's. It was a Dick Clark reunion concert with 10 other acts.

Oooh, I really hope you went back and heard this from the beginning. Its gold. ❤🎶🎸

Big thumbs up! I knew you would love this and waiting for your reactions was so much fun! You two simply brighten my day! Mr. Berry was such an incredible artist to see him just having fun, what a performer he was, a gift.

The shocked look on Shawn's face is priceless.

I was born in 1971. When I was a little older probably 3 or 4, every now and then we would be going somewhere, usually on public transportation, I’d start off singing “when I was a little bitty boy….. and my mother would slap her hand right over my mouth…. If I kept singing after she took her hand off my mouth, I’d find her hand on my behind! Hahaaaaa She didn’t mind us singing it at home….. but in public hahahaaaaa oh the good old days!!!

you know it sounds from the accents of the crowd that this was recorded in the UK.

If you listen to the uncut version he teaches the audience what to do and explains the song before he starts playing it It’s great!

Love this cute little song!!

Surprisingly this was his only number one hit.

I'm 70 now and saw Chuck Berry around 1969 or 1970 in Long Beach California. Me and a friend hitchiked there and panhandled the $2.00 to see him. It was a trip; he had alot of energy!

Amazing how just a little bell in the word Ding-A-Ling made it all funny

I fist heard this song as a child and laughed & laughed! Still funny as an adult 🙂

And no one ran for their safe space.

Saw him in concert when he was in his 80's. He was so good. Rest in peace..

Chuck Berry to cool man !

I saw Chuck perform this when I was 17 at a summer concert on Lake Erie in the resort town of Port Dover, Ontario Canada. It was quite a concert. Chuck was full of energy and fun. He would do this after the crowd was a bit more relaxed. Inuendo to the max. Cheers from Canada

Reeelin and rockin should be your next chuck berry song

I can't believe no one knows him. He was a genius....... I think this was filmed in London. We loved him over here.

OMG..I have not heard this in YEARS.

I was in grade school in the 70s. We used to sing this at recess.

I laugh out loud every time I hear this song. Love it!!

I love watching people react to this for the first time.

1968...My birth year... Incidently Chuck was singing about silver bells

I was just a little kid when this song came out in 1972, but I can remember it well and thought it was hilarious, which it is. The amazing thing about this song though is that I am really surprised it was played on the radio!😀

We used to sing this song on the school bus on the way to school every morning even the bus driver joined in, Love Chuck berry !

Nothing like sneaking it past the censors 😆😆

loved the song i remember it from the 70,s it still brings a smile to my face and i,m 60 lol.

i TRUELY wished I would have seen him in concert

I laughed so hard I was CRYING!!!

I was 7 when this came out. My mother obviously kept it away from us but we had a truly wild woman move in across the street & she gleefully played it for us when we were swimming in her pool.

U guys are great. Love it. I'm 64 n enjoy y'all

It's common knowledge that Chuck had a prodigious ding-a-ling. so naturally he sang about it

This song was actually played on the radio. We were little kids and sang along.

Would you believe that dirty song used to come out on the radio all the time. Lol this was so funny, we all use to stop and listen to this song and start singing and laughing.

This was released in the early 70's. About 20 years after his hay day. 😁

It actually was a toy with a string and bells on it called a Ding A Ling, because of the sound the bells made, it sounded like "ding a ling", that's where the name came from. So, he's really singing about a toy but in an ambiguous manner.

Absolutely loved it 🤣🤣 thank you

Now that's the king of rock and soul!

The BBC didn't actually censor this song - although there was a campaign to get it banned - but didn't play it on their stations .... which helped to make it a number one in the charts!!

And FUN was had by all even the ones that wasn't singing along

This was No. 1 in UK for many weeks and on TV, the BBC created a cartoon to accompany it

I didn't realize it for years, but this song is why my mom called it what she did when I was little, lol

Saw him here in the UK, we were all waiting for this song 🎵

What a great way to start 2022

Oh! You missed the very beginning when he talks to the audience - y’all gotta see the entire performance- 💖💙👍

How Chuck and Clarence Carter got away with MY DING A LING and I BE STROKIN , is a laughing miracle!

As kids OMG we loved this song because we would sing

It never stops being funny!🤣

…we had rolls of laughter growing up to this Chuck Berry’s Classic 🤣😂🤣❤️❤️

On the radio as a kid!! Lol

Oh this was so so funny watching you 2 react to this song !!

The large Elvis portrait is sending me through a loop

I think the most people know it but I must tell it again. This song was a stopgap on his recording and Chuck Berry never thought it would become as popular as it did. I love it so much like the audience at the movie, it`s just a great song and I think if it`s came out today it also be a hit like at the past (maybe). Greets from hamburg (germany) @all.

I remember when I was a kid and my grandmother laughing at this song , I even got it and would laugh too , it embarrassed me but funny

That song took me back to when I was just a wee little boy and that's been a while! Lol
