    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.

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. ;-)

    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.
