It says "His R&B song The Twist " it wasn't his song he did a cover version that did better than the original which was written and recorded by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters but I think Hanks version was part of an album release . Apart from that Happy Birthday Chubby.

If he were to make a new song today, it would be titled "I Twisted Too Hard And Now My Back Hurts".

I was about to say to myself "That piece of shit is still alive?" Then remembered that Chubby Checkers sang "The Twist." Fatty Arbuckle did the other thing.

One of the Wiggles songs involves repeated questioning as to whether you can point your fingers and do the twist, so much so that one of the members gets mad at it wiggles.fandom.com/wiki/Pat-A-C...

Can't believe he's still alive. I remember being taught how to do it: pretend you're drying your behind with a towel.

Legit! Check out New Revelation, also pressed as Chequred, a political/conscious album he did in the early ‘70s. It’s super cool and fucking jams.
