    My music teacher in grade 5 used to play this for our warm up before class. And we all took turns going under the limbo stick. I’ve sang this song in my head for YEARS (I’m now 28)…. I can’t believe I finally found it! So many childhood memories 😢

    I saw him at the West Virginia State Fair back in the early 2000s. He got the audience involved more than any musician I’ve ever seen before and he brought people on stage to limbo and twist. It was a great performance and it was only like $10 to go to it.

    This song is so much fun near the end of a nights performance. I was playing it on the NCL Jewel .. and the entire room started dancing at their tables. This song still sounds great at my live gigs. (pre Covid) .. and it certainly works well on the Cruise Ship gigs as well. My Students love to learn and play this song. If you need it transposed into a different key to make it easier to sing, i can help you with that as well. Gotta Love the Classics. ;-)

Mentioned it to my tween even; she wasn't very familiar or couldn't remember it. It must have permeated deeply in our cells!

    When I was a young sailor back in 1981 and we hit the Virgin Islands as our liberty call, this song came into my mind and I knew the carribbean islands always had local island natives do the limbo acts for entertainment and I was always looking for that act in the virgin islands back then...I did find a place talking to natives there but the act was on the days after my liberty call ends.
