I was born in the 60's great tunes and still listening. MY parents danced to this song when they would party. Great memories. I'm still here August 2024!!!
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.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE 5TH GRADE ! I WAS THE LIMBO QUEEN ! ❤️ HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY TOMORROW ! I HOPE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY HAPPENS FOR YOU TODAY ! 🙏 :) LOL
I was 8 yrs old and drove my bicycle for miles (NYC traffic) to see him. Now letting your kid ride that many miles would be a CPS referral. His show was the best I've ever seen.
I love this very much as a teenager and still do. Loved doing the Limbo dance when roller skating. When this song was announced my friends and I rushed to the rink. A blast from the past.
For some reason I had this stuck in my head. So I had to look it up. It makes me want to lace up a pair of roller skates. And now it's time to be a stinker and share it on my Facebook and get it stuck in my friends heads. 😂
Same here!!! Last month or so, I kept asking myself why I can't get 'the limbo song' (as I wrongly said) outta my brain/rhythm...esp after not hearing it nor considering it's existence for decades. Mentioned it to my tween even; she wasn't very familiar or couldn't remember it. It must have permeated deeply in our cells!
Tengo el disco simple de pasta de dos temas. Limbo Rock y del lado "b" Twist again. Era de mi hermano, yo tengo 60, pero en mi infancia, ese disco era casi que de todos los días.
My Dad used to sing this song when he was bounce me on his knee when i was young. I just remembered it out of nowhere and now im sending him this video 😂😂😂
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. ;-)
As a kid I remember this song and many more from this generation, my late parents use to play this song and many more ,I wanna go back to that generation and don't wanna come back
My mummy loves this song. She's always humming it mindlessly. She was born in '63 and I guess connects with the song on that level? 😆 No clue. But it's wonderful finding it🤗
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.
Holy spamoli! I grew up listening to this song, and wrongly assumed, Chubby Checker was, well, fat! OMG! He's gorgeous! And what an infectious smile and warm personality. So thankful for RUclips--this is like having a 2nd childhood :-))
My guess because of the black and white motif, is that this performance could have been on Dick Clark's America Bandstand. I came to RUclips because in a commercial there was a flaming Limbo stick and he did not dance it correctly, then this song started to play in my head.

wow, clothing and music styles have changed, compare this with say....Little Wayne. Chubby is wearing a custom English cut suit in a silken fabric that my father wore at this time. you can still see the sheen even in this old vid.
I do remember this so well over the years, never seen him preform it till right now. I think he knew there be a market for this but as I watch him I don't feel he was at all comfortable with singing this song. No one will ever replace him.
Did you know, funny interesting about this songs, this song featured in the chuck e cheese likes restaurant and arcade park called dandy bear amusement park in texas, but in the park the songs was not saying "limbo" but they changes into "dandy".
Yeah, okay, cheesy... but very catchy. I don't know how many times I did the "limbo" at the local roller skating rink back in the day. Hundreds. They would do the "Limbo Skate" with the stick and this song pretty much every night. The winner would get free candy, a free drink, free admission next time, or something of that nature.
The 60s were the best years for music. So glad that I was born in ‘62.
I was actually born in 1962 and turned 62 July 14 2024!
1958

Brings back amazing memories of elementary school skate nights at a long gone roller skating rink.

I wasn't born until 1960, but I Love his music!
I love this old song. Thanks Chubby! Now I'm going to twist again, like we did last summer.
He is the BEST!!! THIS KIND OF TALENT, NEEDS TO BE REVISITED
Hello
How are you doing
Thanks for your support ❤❤❤
I SWARE IT DOES.❤
Did you know the twist was done a few years before he sang it ....Hank Ballard....
I think you can make a cartoon about him
I was 8 yrs old and drove my bicycle for miles (NYC traffic) to see him. Now letting your kid ride that many miles would be a CPS referral. His show was the best I've ever seen.
This song is almost 60 years old... so glad it survived the test of time... thanks a million for sharing!

Wow. He actually gets credit for popularizing TWO classic dances during his career.
Not to mention the Pony, the Fly, and the Hucklebuck. Wish there was a film of Chubby singing that wasn’t lip synching.
When did chubby Checker Passed Away???

WRONG, Freight Train by Jim & Jesse is amazing.
This is very nice too i listen to it as often as i could
As a kid I remember this song and many more from this generation, my late parents use to play this song and many more ,I wanna go back to that generation and don't wanna come back

Extraordinario recuerdo de cuando la música tenía otro sentido.
Love Chubby Checker! Also, this is a good theme song for the stock market these days.

Bonitos recuerdos de la juvuentud cuando las escuchavamos los chavos dei barrio
Bonjour 🙂 superbe chanson j adore ! 0:34
Limbo Rock, the Twist, the Locomotion...(I especially love the "Locomotion" by Little Eva!} such fun and carefree times in the late 50s and early 60s!
In life, we could all stand to limbo lower now.
That was a smash hit and I still got the 45 rpm original.
I wonder how much that 45 would be worth if you wanted to sell it! Released almost 60 years now. from Oct. 1962! "How low can you go!?"
Siempre voy a recordar a mi abuelo con esta canción ❤
I miss these artists of my youth!
I used to listen to this when I was 7
Fantastic version.....❤❤
My 3 year old's fav song lol
Super❤
Bom demais linda música
Il limbo l'abbiamo ballato per mesi nelle feste in casa
So subtle yet extremely effective
EVERGREEN:) enjoying it in November 2021 :)))
This is all fun activity music. It's got a Jamaica beat. This is live music stuff.

I never found a virgin on any of the Virgin islands that my tin can visited.
Isn't there someone who can do something about that?
Thanks for sharing that !
❤❤❤❤You make life fun at 64 in a wheelchair❤❤❤❤
He seems to be genuinely enjoying this performance.
loved chubby 🥰😍
I haven't thought about this one in years. Thank you The Simpsons!
I remember we did the limbo in elementary school
Holy spamoli! I grew up listening to this song, and wrongly assumed, Chubby Checker was, well, fat!
OMG! He's gorgeous! And what an infectious smile and warm personality. So thankful for RUclips--this is like having a 2nd childhood :-))
My guess because of the black and white motif, is that this performance could have been on Dick Clark's America Bandstand. I came to RUclips because in a commercial there was a flaming Limbo stick and he did not dance it correctly, then this song started to play in my head.
I was sure this was a kids song from the 2000s! Very surprised that this song is such a classic!
Sadly, how soon we forget.
Nueve anos antes que yo, naciera, mi madre cantaba esta cancion. Despues me la tarareaba al oido.

I felt liek i was in a Limbo cruise ship instructional video for a moment till i realized ive heard this before 😀
wow, clothing and music styles have changed, compare this with say....Little Wayne. Chubby is wearing a custom English cut suit in a silken fabric that my father wore at this time. you can still see the sheen even in this old vid.
