I have to thank my Boomer Mom for teaching me the dance to this when I was younger. This was a pretty popular song in the 60s. You gotta think 45 records (7” singles) were the things back then because parties and what we now call “kickbacks” were IN. People would stack 45s to play one song after another (like a playlist), and dance to the songs. So a song like “Cool Jerk” was big, especially because it had a dance to it. 🤗💜💫✨🤌🏾
Cool! Groovy. Go-go music. For more sixties tunes with a sound in the same general ballpark also check out Wilson Pickett "Land of a Thousand Dances", Lattimore Brown "Shake and Vibrate", James & Bobby Purify "Shake a Tail Feather", Charles Sheffield "It's Your Voodoo Working", The Human Beinz "Nobody But Me", and Pete Rodriguez "I Like It Like That", albeit that last one comes with a Latin flavor.
Cool Jerk! Mother is cool for requesting this awesome song!! Nice❣️🤗💃

That’s hilarious you thought it was cougar! My daughter thought they said that too when she was little lol we would sing “COUGA!” 😂
This is a classic 60's party song right here MP, nice request and reaction JJ...
This song was used for a TV commercial. I want to say it was for cool whip.
The Jerk was a very popular dance. There were several songs about it.
This Cool Jerk goes way way back for me. Yep, some of this played in Home Alone 1 or 2
Alright MP I’m doing it now 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Grew up with this song! Fab request & reaction.
