Chubby Checker-The Twist

Thank you,my friend SGT (Join to see) for sharing the music video of Chubby Checker singing his hit cover of Hank Ballard's R&B song and demonstrating "The Twist" on ABC TV
"Checker introduced his version of "The Twist" in July 1960 on The Clay Cole Show, a local New York City television program broadcast live from Palisades Amusement Park. "The Twist" went on to become the only single to top the Billboard Hot 100 twice, in two separate chart runs."

"The Twist" written by Hank Ballard
Lyrics
"Come on baby
Let's do the twist
Come on baby
Let's do the twist
Take me by my little hand
And go like this

Ee-yah twist
Baby, baby twist
Ooh yeah, just like this
Come on little miss and do the twist

My daddy is sleepin'
And mama ain't around
Yeah, daddy just sleepin'
And mama ain't around
We're gonna twisty twisty twisty
Till we tear the house down

Come on and twist
Yeah, baby twist
Oooh yeah, just like this
Come on miss and do the twist
Ee-yah

('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)

Yeah, you should see my little sis
You should see my my litlle Sis
She really knows how to rock
She knows how to twist

Come on and twist
Yeah, baby twist
Oooh yeah, just like this
Come on little miss and do the twist

('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)
('Round and 'round and 'round and 'round)

Yeah, rock on now
Yeah, twist on down
Twist
('Round and 'round and 'round)"
