Wow this is when music video's and songs were FUN and weren't trying to be something. Im so glad i grew up experiencing some of it, albeit i was young! LOVE IT!!!!
The Fat Boys were called a "Sell out" for making this and the song with the beach boys. Don't let the plays fool ya. My point is that great music like this is timeless. Just because you don't like what your favorite artist is doing compared to their past work doesn't mean they are a "sell out." It just means they are an artist exploring their creativity. I wish most people who listened to music could see that. I love this song.
Who's here upon hearing that Prince Markie Dee passed away? R.I.P to Mark Morales, a.k.a Prince Markie Dee of the Fat Boys. #RIPPrinceMarkieDee #PrinceMarkieDee
I'm 61 and I used to dance to The Twist when I was 5. Never heard of The Fat Boys but boy love this song and video. Will search for more videos and music of The Fat Boys.
Fat boys gave us great times growing up n still going in 2022 jamming..love the gold chains more than ever..no curse words or hate but nice fun clean rap with people dancing n having a great time.. what's it all about
RIP the two members of The Fat Boys Buff Love (June 10, 1967 - December 10, 1995), aged 28 Prince Markie Dee (February 19, 1968 - February 18, 2021), aged 52 You both will always be remembered as legends.
I just randomly remembered this song existed and oh my God I'm 10 years old again. I had this cassette single. Miss this kind of innocence and fun in hip hop.
R.I.P. to the legendary Mark Morales A.K.A. Prince Markie Dee I can’t believe it dead at only 52 years old that’s so young I remember growing up back in NYC listening to The Fat Boys music, my dad grew up with Kurtis Blow and my dad told me a story that Kurtis Blow had introduced them to my dad back in 1984 when Kurtis was working on their project debut album Prince Markie Dee will always be remembered as on the legendary pioneers of hip hop.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! I haven't heard it in about 20 years, and I have never seen the video till now. What big fun! Chubby checker looks awesome, and the Fat Boys are terrific! This is what music should be--fun, fun, fun!
That is my husband playing his black MusicMan Sting Ray Bass. on the left in back ! He is wearing a blue tank top shirt. He was in "The Chubby Checker Band" in the 1990's. This song was #1 in Europe for 2 weeks !
@roeschuxxx I agree.....this is a video that all ages can enjoy. This is also a simple demonstration of how much of an influence Chubby Checker (Ernie Evans) had and STILL has on music and dancing. When Chubby released "The Twist" in 1961, most of the dancers and models used in this video weren't even born yet. Chubby..thanks so much for 50 years of Twistin' !!
I loved this vid....I met Chubby Checker in Baltimore with my dad in 1981...He's a really nice guy. I danced in front of the stage....He wanted me to come onstage, but I was 2 shy! Some of my friends said I was crazy for not dancin' with him,lol
When I was young Chubby Checker allowed the gang from Carson Valley to swim in this great pond he had.. our transistor radios blaring out the original version into the air. I had fun watching this and remembering some nice times
Those were the best times to be living. I understand why you cried. There was more innocence then. Look at what this world has come to in such little time! At least people our age were able to experience the “good ole days”.
This video brings back so many fond memories of 1988 for me. I saw it while living in Orlando, Florida. It was on MTV. It's been so long. I'm glad that I'm able to see this video against after thirty long years. Thank you kindly.
We could sure use all the wisdom that experience afforded you for meeting the challenges facing humanity today, in the year of our Lord, 2020. Chubby Checker, I am so sorry the world had forsaken you - written your off as a cocaine fiend, a sexual predator, has-been. We laughed when we we should have listened... we stood solemnly when we should have twisted...
I REMEMBER MEETING THESE GUYS IN PERSON WHEN THEY WERE PROMOTING THE WIPEOUT ALBUM IN HAWAII I MEET THEM MY CUZINS WORK IN HAWAII SUMMER OF 87' THEY WERE MOST HUMBLE GUYS YOU'D EVER MEET BEAT BOX WAS A FUNNY PERSON IM GLAD I MET HIM R.I.P THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES GUYS
I was 19 when this came out. Of course I was all into Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, Cure, Depeche Mode and that WHOLE music scene. But I damn sure had this 45! It was SO much fun!
this is the best frigging thing ive ever seen on a monday night at 10:28 PM wow thank you fat boys and chubby checker for showing out on this one, my hats off to yall
A sad end 2 Darren Robinson AKA The Human Beat Box. Passed away on 12/10/95 from a heart attack age 28. No surprise. May he RIP. Thanks 4 the memories.
He was my favorite one too. Yah only 7 years after this was made I think, they were in decline by then but it really wasn't long past the height of their careers. The weird thing is Chubby Checker is still alive, 74 years old. MCA was also my favorite Beastie Boy and he died, what's up with that?
This was a pretty good crossover. I remember at the time it was announced that Chubby Checker was made an "Honorary Fat Boy", haha. Man, the good old days. Back when hip hop lyrics usually weren't about shooting people.
I totally agree with you, just for the fact that Chubby Checker is on it, re-working the lyrics to mention their names, but I love the nostalgia associated with hearing the Fat Boys... take me back to when I was 6-7 yrs. old. ah, the good old days...
This is my generation. Had this blasting on my pioneer. No cussing. No gangster lyrics.. just great music.. thanks Fat Boys...
Wow this is when music video's and songs were FUN and weren't trying to be something. Im so glad i grew up experiencing some of it, albeit i was young! LOVE IT!!!!
How can anyone not enjoy this perfect slice of life.
More musical talent in this one video than in the whole "musical industry" today!
I miss the 80s period! The Style, Culture, and of course the Music.
I miss that era a lot too!
with a guy from the 60s. Which was the best part of the song
The Fat Boys were called a "Sell out" for making this and the song with the beach boys. Don't let the plays fool ya. My point is that great music like this is timeless. Just because you don't like what your favorite artist is doing compared to their past work doesn't mean they are a "sell out." It just means they are an artist exploring their creativity.

that was the current "rap" crap's early attempt at corruption...they held out, but they succeeded today
Who's here upon hearing that Prince Markie Dee passed away? R.I.P to Mark Morales, a.k.a Prince Markie Dee of the Fat Boys. #RIPPrinceMarkieDee #PrinceMarkieDee
☝🏾☝🏾
I am. R.I.P. Mark. Happy birthday in heaven! Sad day.
Another part of my childhood just died.
This is a fun track, for real
Did not know, this sucks.
I'm 61 and I used to dance to The Twist when I was 5.
Never heard of The Fat Boys but boy love this song and video.
Will search for more videos and music of The Fat Boys.
Wipeout should have been on your list

RIP the two members of The Fat Boys
Buff Love (June 10, 1967 - December 10, 1995), aged 28
Prince Markie Dee (February 19, 1968 - February 18, 2021), aged 52
You both will always be remembered as legends.
I just randomly remembered this song existed and oh my God I'm 10 years old again. I had this cassette single. Miss this kind of innocence and fun in hip hop.
I was 11 again lol..
Me too I'm 47 now
If I could live in the 80's forever I would. I had the best times of my life back then.
Oh God No! There were only Atari 800XL Computers then!!!!
oh man, I was 12 when this came out. All innocence. Loved it.
Tee Cee I was 14 when it came out, and I was born in 1974.
I was -19 when it came out.
I was 11...
1980s awesome decade for music and tv shows and clothes
I recently found this on vinyl. Reminded me of my old skating rink days in the 80s and 90s.
I Still listen to my Fat Boys records to this day. My wife put one on last weekend. These guys were so amazing!
R.I.P. Prince Markie Dee🙏🏻❤️❤️💔thank you for the memories 💕💙
This song was no.13 in the world-year-end-charts in 1988
Taking a trip down memory lane, to my junior high years. Rest in peace, Prince Markie Dee.
Rest in Peace Markie Dee
R.I.P. to the legendary Mark Morales A.K.A.

no artist now so talented can dance/write/sing/ENTERTAIN all in one time only one and only Chubby Checker.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! I haven't heard it in about 20 years, and I have never seen the video till now. What big fun! Chubby checker looks awesome, and the Fat Boys are terrific! This is what music should be--fun, fun, fun!

Debbie Summerville that’s pretty cool!
Cool
Oh I see him when chubby says I see Prince markie dee!
The Fat Boys were legends!
Absolutely ❤
Another reason why the 80's was the greatest decade ever....
59 Year Old In 2019 And still jamming with this song! Clean Fun!
42 here and still love there music
@@brianhoward5583 i am 39 and dancing to this awesome song.
@roeschuxxx I agree.....this is a video that all ages can enjoy.

Chubby..thanks so much for 50 years of Twistin' !!
This is when music was fun not all this depressing stuff they put out today. Oh how I would love to go back!
I had just started the 10 th grade when the Fatboys came out with such fun rap No cursing.
If anyone thinks the 80s aren't the greatest decade in music history then surely they have not experienced the magnificence of this song! Behold!
The 80's. Greatest decade known to mankind. It was fun growing up back then.
THE dance of the rock era. This song is just cool as hell. I'd shout out for a new version but seriously who could top Chubby and The Fat Boys?
Chubby Checker recorded "The Twist" in 1960. He should have abs of steel by now.
met Chubby. I swear,thee guys voice was amazing in 2012,saw him live. Must be taking allot of vitamins
They no longer call him Chubby. Lol
Enough to say, Masterpiece, brilliant. Thank you all
I loved this vid....I met Chubby Checker in Baltimore with my dad in 1981...He's a really nice guy. I danced in front of the stage....He wanted me to come onstage, but I was 2 shy! Some of my friends said I was crazy for not dancin' with him,lol
Hit #16 for Chubby and the Boys in Billboard. God bless!
Ahhh childhood memories... brilliant song and music video!
This is fun at its ultimate high.
hahahaha! well at least we got youtube to take us back to the good old dayz :)
true.
Loved these guys. Rest in Peace Prince Markie Dee.
Loved these guys and Kid n Play growing up in the 80's. I can remember begging my mom to buy me the cassette tapes of these guys when I was like 12.
Love the Fat Boys!
The movie "Disorderlies" was the best!
Still listening in 2024!
OMG!!! Wow, what a trip down memory lane. 1st rap group i ever listend to, they got me into it when i was 8. This is awesome, lol! Rest in Peace Buff!
Old school rap. Befor rap turned to crap. Good times. I think i was 13 when this came out.
First english song I've heard at the age of 5, legendary track :)
When I was young Chubby Checker allowed the gang from Carson Valley to swim in this great pond he had.. our transistor radios blaring out the original version into the air. I had fun watching this and remembering some nice times
I keep watching this. Tonight I cried. I miss this music.
Those were the best times to be living. I understand why you cried. There was more innocence then. Look at what this world has come to in such little time! At least people our age were able to experience the “good ole days”.
You are sooo right!!!
Had always hoped for more, now we only have the music and the memories. PMD and Buff are rocking the universe now...
I love how little some things make sense, but it doesn't matter because they're awesome.
This video brings back so many fond memories of 1988 for me. I saw it while living in Orlando, Florida. It was on MTV. It's been so long.
I'm glad that I'm able to see this video against after thirty long years.
Thank you kindly.
This song has answered many of the questions I had about life and universe.
We could sure use all the wisdom that experience afforded you for meeting the challenges facing humanity today, in the year of our Lord, 2020. Chubby Checker, I am so sorry the world had forsaken you - written your off as a cocaine fiend, a sexual predator, has-been. We laughed when we we should have listened... we stood solemnly when we should have twisted...
Same. 12 years later
Well, hello thread.
@@MichaelAronson Woow you're really there
I can't remember the last time I heard this version of the song. I love it just as much as I loved it when I was a kid.
Still fuckin Dope ....Thank you Fat boys for making me a hip hop head forever......real hip hop.....trap don't count.
The fat boys were one of the best fun loving rap groups when i was growing up.
#ripprincemarkiedee #fatboys

Hazel Leigh My sentiments exactly.
Look at the mixed crowd
this reeks of the 80s. I love it
Chubby represents for Elvis, Buddy, Roy, Michael and all the rockers that are in Rock N Roll Heaven.
Big Ups to the Chub.

Wow! Music's evolutions from Mr.Checker's day. 1958-1988.
I miss these guyz
Fat Boys Rule!!! Miss those guys and the 80s
THIS is the hip hop that was fun, non-violent, and just attracted so many people. It's a shame this genre has descended into evil! lol
True! Time appeal to kids, parents and grandparents I put this and the Fat Boys w/the Beach Boys song "Wipeout" on the reception playlist! Big Fun!
I was 19 when this came out. Of course I was all into Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, Cure, Depeche Mode and that WHOLE music scene. But I damn sure had this 45! It was SO much fun!
Thanks a lot for posting this Video. i've been looking for this for Years. Memories arriving on track 4.

I just LOVE this version! :-)
A sad end 2 Darren Robinson AKA The Human Beat Box. Passed away on 12/10/95 from a heart attack age 28. No surprise. May he RIP. Thanks 4 the memories.
He was my favorite one too. Yah only 7 years after this was made I think, they were in decline by then but it really wasn't long past the height of their careers.
The weird thing is Chubby Checker is still alive, 74 years old.
MCA was also my favorite Beastie Boy and he died, what's up with that?
Adam Yauch aka MCA of Beastie Boys fame. Passed away on 5/4/12 at age 47 from cancerous parotid and lymph node cancer.
😭😭
So sad. They were a lot of fun to listen to and I'm not a fan of rap music.
@@kathyfeilmeier1630 what's the laughing emojis for?
A true classic..💯💚 Let's get up & dance,can't be still...
A great 1980s Twist. Miss those years.
Gangsta Rap was just on the horizon and rappers couldn't have fun anymore, without being seen as corny or soft!
Great song and video 😀👍🎶🎶🎶💃💃💃
I remember listening to this in '88 on my tape player whilst playing Atari. :)
No
@@elianaweissman8303 What do you mean, no?
8-track or cassette or both?
@@Rlotpir1972 Just cassette.
I love this videoclip!!! It makes me wanne smile all the time while looking at it!!!
This was a pretty good crossover. I remember at the time it was announced that Chubby Checker was made an "Honorary Fat Boy", haha.
Man, the good old days. Back when hip hop lyrics usually weren't about shooting people.
2024 and still jamming this cover🔥❤️
I couldn't stop dancing, even though I have no idea how. Love this!
great mix an innocent period of rap hip hop - chubby what a dude what a suit
+arsh k only pop hip hop was innocent
What a great song!!!!
Prince Markie Dee RIP. Gone but never forgotten.
2018 love the oldies
chubby checker was cool even 25-30yrs later lol.
Wow not heard this in 22 years bloody love it
The 80s were awesome
The best music video I've seen and listened to in 2020. Great energy, attitude, and explosive👏 fun.⚡️✌️
This is way beyond believe, already have gosebumps
They were my favorite rap group. Awesome memories.
My first concert was Rick Springfield back around 1983. I'm a city girl and back in the 80's it was just awesome. I can soooo relate with you.
this was my favorite song
If you don't think rap is fun anymore its because you just listen to whatever the radio tells you too.
I totally agree with you, just for the fact that Chubby Checker is on it, re-working the lyrics to mention their names, but I love the nostalgia associated with hearing the Fat Boys... take me back to when I was 6-7 yrs. old. ah, the good old days...
boy! this brings back mi teenhood,great music...
