    Difficult to explain to those not alive at the time how much fun this craze was. Once you learned this simple dance, you didn't want to stop. Everyone was laughing, smiling, having a great time.

      As a 24 year old who recently learned the twist- if paired with music of the time, I feel like i can feel a fraction of the feeling yall had back then. ❤

      Nasci em 1954 e nem rádio tinha pra ouvir música,eu andava uns 3 km e escutava Chubby Checker e eu me requebrava e o pessoal dava muito riso ....Mas como era bom se mexer ouvindo Twist ,mas o tempo foi embora e levou o nosso Chubby.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

      @@carycimino7699 I remember the last of that transition to color programming. Sometimes an announcer would say the name of the show and say something like, "...now in color", and a still frame would have the words "in color" with a different color for each letter. Having a color TV was a big deal back then.

    This is first song I remember dancing to. This song was playing on the radio and our mother was having us dance to it. Our parents getting a kick out of watching us do the twist. They both gave it a shot to show us how to do it. This was in about 1960 when I was 3 or 4 years old. The 50s and 60s such a great time to be a kid and grow up.

  • @patrickstar8504

    Certainly one of the greatest songs of all time! Today's teenager cannot imagine how this song hit the people in 1960 and influenced them for their whole life. It was not only the music and the dance. It was a groundbreaking, happy and completely new feeling of life which no one has ever seen before (& maybe till today!)

      The Fabulous Fifties & the Swinging Sixties were the best two decades of the second half of the 20th century. There was an economic boom & prosperity in Europe, America, Japan & elsewhere. Till the early 60s, there was optimism about the future and a general sense of well-being. Have a look at movies and documentaries from those two decades. You'll have an idea of how life was back then, including people who took pride in how they dressed and looked. It all changed in the late 60s.

I guess we were blessed with the ability to dance. Hometown being Gadsden, AL. Now I'm 60 and will still do the twist if I'm out and it plays LOL. I get in moods at times to just sit and play 50's and 60's for hours on end. Love it! This dance will keep you thin... if you do it right! :)

    I remember my family celebrating my great grand mothers 93rd birthday and playing all the oldies. My grandmother and the older generation getting a kick out of the oldies the dj played for them that night. Like they were in their late teen early 20's all over again, it was a beautiful thing.

    Around the mid-1990's, Chubby Checker performed at a trade show here in California. One of my co-workers from the small company we worked at, jumped up on the stage (un-invited) and started twisting with Chubby Checker. Prior to this, she had a few adult beverages and decided "what the heck!" I was sure Chubby would have her removed. To my surprise, Chubby didn't seem to mind. In fact, they were bumping hips towards the end of the song. The entire audience enjoyed the impromptu performance. Chubby was a good sport.

    This hit from Chubby Checker went to #1 on the Top 40 charts and to #2 on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It would finish at #10 for the year, 1960. We are now in the Top 10 songs for 1960 making our way to the top. Who will be #1? Will the late Johnny Horton repeat? Or will someone else take the torch? Stay tuned.
