Wow this is when music video's and songs were FUN and weren't trying to be something. Im so glad i grew up experiencing some of it, albeit i was young! LOVE IT!!!!
I'm 61 and I used to dance to The Twist when I was 5. Never heard of The Fat Boys but boy love this song and video. Will search for more videos and music of The Fat Boys.
I just randomly remembered this song existed and oh my God I'm 10 years old again. I had this cassette single. Miss this kind of innocence and fun in hip hop.
The Fat Boys were called a "Sell out" for making this and the song with the beach boys. Don't let the plays fool ya. My point is that great music like this is timeless. Just because you don't like what your favorite artist is doing compared to their past work doesn't mean they are a "sell out." It just means they are an artist exploring their creativity. I wish most people who listened to music could see that. I love this song.
RIP the two members of The Fat Boys Buff Love (June 10, 1967 - December 10, 1995), aged 28 Prince Markie Dee (February 19, 1968 - February 18, 2021), aged 52 You both will always be remembered as legends.
Fat boys gave us great times growing up n still going in 2022 jamming..love the gold chains more than ever..no curse words or hate but nice fun clean rap with people dancing n having a great time.. what's it all about
R.I.P. to the legendary Mark Morales A.K.A. Prince Markie Dee I can’t believe it dead at only 52 years old that’s so young I remember growing up back in NYC listening to The Fat Boys music, my dad grew up with Kurtis Blow and my dad told me a story that Kurtis Blow had introduced them to my dad back in 1984 when Kurtis was working on their project debut album Prince Markie Dee will always be remembered as on the legendary pioneers of hip hop.
Who's here upon hearing that Prince Markie Dee passed away? R.I.P to Mark Morales, a.k.a Prince Markie Dee of the Fat Boys. #RIPPrinceMarkieDee #PrinceMarkieDee
That is my husband playing his black MusicMan Sting Ray Bass. on the left in back ! He is wearing a blue tank top shirt. He was in "The Chubby Checker Band" in the 1990's. This song was #1 in Europe for 2 weeks !
@roeschuxxx I agree.....this is a video that all ages can enjoy. This is also a simple demonstration of how much of an influence Chubby Checker (Ernie Evans) had and STILL has on music and dancing. When Chubby released "The Twist" in 1961, most of the dancers and models used in this video weren't even born yet. Chubby..thanks so much for 50 years of Twistin' !!
You just know Chubby was happy to get out and still perform, it was definitely nothing but positive vibes when they did this. And if it wasn’t, let me think it was! 2024
I LOVE THIS SONG!! I haven't heard it in about 20 years, and I have never seen the video till now. What big fun! Chubby checker looks awesome, and the Fat Boys are terrific! This is what music should be--fun, fun, fun!
This video brings back so many fond memories of 1988 for me. I saw it while living in Orlando, Florida. It was on MTV. It's been so long. I'm glad that I'm able to see this video against after thirty long years. Thank you kindly.
I loved this vid....I met Chubby Checker in Baltimore with my dad in 1981...He's a really nice guy. I danced in front of the stage....He wanted me to come onstage, but I was 2 shy! Some of my friends said I was crazy for not dancin' with him,lol
We could sure use all the wisdom that experience afforded you for meeting the challenges facing humanity today, in the year of our Lord, 2020. Chubby Checker, I am so sorry the world had forsaken you - written your off as a cocaine fiend, a sexual predator, has-been. We laughed when we we should have listened... we stood solemnly when we should have twisted...
When I was young Chubby Checker allowed the gang from Carson Valley to swim in this great pond he had.. our transistor radios blaring out the original version into the air. I had fun watching this and remembering some nice times
this is the best frigging thing ive ever seen on a monday night at 10:28 PM wow thank you fat boys and chubby checker for showing out on this one, my hats off to yall
Those were the best times to be living. I understand why you cried. There was more innocence then. Look at what this world has come to in such little time! At least people our age were able to experience the “good ole days”.
I REMEMBER MEETING THESE GUYS IN PERSON WHEN THEY WERE PROMOTING THE WIPEOUT ALBUM IN HAWAII I MEET THEM MY CUZINS WORK IN HAWAII SUMMER OF 87' THEY WERE MOST HUMBLE GUYS YOU'D EVER MEET BEAT BOX WAS A FUNNY PERSON IM GLAD I MET HIM R.I.P THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES GUYS
A sad end 2 Darren Robinson AKA The Human Beat Box. Passed away on 12/10/95 from a heart attack age 28. No surprise. May he RIP. Thanks 4 the memories.
He was my favorite one too. Yah only 7 years after this was made I think, they were in decline by then but it really wasn't long past the height of their careers. The weird thing is Chubby Checker is still alive, 74 years old. MCA was also my favorite Beastie Boy and he died, what's up with that?
I totally agree with you, just for the fact that Chubby Checker is on it, re-working the lyrics to mention their names, but I love the nostalgia associated with hearing the Fat Boys... take me back to when I was 6-7 yrs. old. ah, the good old days...
Ah... memories...Went to Worlds of Fun and saw my first live concert (Twisted Sister) before i was even fourteen all between 84 and 86. I'm a small town guy but back then it was just... so alive and COOL!
Haha, WOW, I'd forgotten all about this! I remember being the only kid at my middle school whose reaction was, oh, cool, they got the real Chubby Checker--no one else had heard of him. =p LOVE IT!
This is my generation. Had this blasting on my pioneer. No cussing. No gangster lyrics.. just great music.. thanks Fat Boys...
Shame folks had to come with that gangsta rap BS like ughhh 😒😒😒😒
@@katrinaholden8183 It was designed to destroy the youth culture of America.
That part
Fat Boys were the best. Modern rap since 1990s sucked besides Clawfinger.
@@fisterhrTell me about it smfh....
How can anyone not enjoy this perfect slice of life.
Wow this is when music video's and songs were FUN and weren't trying to be something. Im so glad i grew up experiencing some of it, albeit i was young! LOVE IT!!!!
Exactly my thoughts, fun 80s hip hop 😎
I'm 61 and I used to dance to The Twist when I was 5.
Never heard of The Fat Boys but boy love this song and video.
Will search for more videos and music of The Fat Boys.
Wipeout should have been on your list
I just randomly remembered this song existed and oh my God I'm 10 years old again. I had this cassette single. Miss this kind of innocence and fun in hip hop.
I was 11 again lol..
Me too I'm 47 now
1980s awesome decade for music and tv shows and clothes
This song was no.13 in the world-year-end-charts in 1988
I miss the 80s period! The Style, Culture, and of course the Music.
I miss that era a lot too!
with a guy from the 60s. Which was the best part of the song
oh man, I was 12 when this came out. All innocence. Loved it.
Tee Cee I was 14 when it came out, and I was born in 1974.
I was -19 when it came out.
I was 11...

that was the current "rap" crap's early attempt at corruption...they held out, but they succeeded today
I Still listen to my Fat Boys records to this day. My wife put one on last weekend. These guys were so amazing!
RIP the two members of The Fat Boys
Buff Love (June 10, 1967 - December 10, 1995), aged 28
Prince Markie Dee (February 19, 1968 - February 18, 2021), aged 52
You both will always be remembered as legends.

I recently found this on vinyl. Reminded me of my old skating rink days in the 80s and 90s.

Love the Fat Boys!
The movie "Disorderlies" was the best!
Still listening in 2024!
If I could live in the 80's forever I would. I had the best times of my life back then.
Oh God No! There were only Atari 800XL Computers then!!!!
More musical talent in this one video than in the whole "musical industry" today!
Who's here upon hearing that Prince Markie Dee passed away? R.I.P to Mark Morales, a.k.a Prince Markie Dee of the Fat Boys. #RIPPrinceMarkieDee #PrinceMarkieDee

I am. R.I.P. Mark. Happy birthday in heaven! Sad day.
Another part of my childhood just died.
This is a fun track, for real
Did not know, this sucks.

Debbie Summerville that’s pretty cool!
Cool
Oh I see him when chubby says I see Prince markie dee!

Chubby..thanks so much for 50 years of Twistin' !!
no artist now so talented can dance/write/sing/ENTERTAIN all in one time only one and only Chubby Checker.
You just know Chubby was happy to get out and still perform, it was definitely nothing but positive vibes when they did this. And if it wasn’t, let me think it was! 2024
Enough to say, Masterpiece, brilliant. Thank you all
Taking a trip down memory lane, to my junior high years. Rest in peace, Prince Markie Dee.
R.I.P. Prince Markie Dee🙏🏻❤️❤️💔thank you for the memories 💕💙
I LOVE THIS SONG!! I haven't heard it in about 20 years, and I have never seen the video till now. What big fun! Chubby checker looks awesome, and the Fat Boys are terrific! This is what music should be--fun, fun, fun!
59 Year Old In 2019 And still jamming with this song! Clean Fun!

This is why the 80's will always be the best generation.. this is the best music. No cussing. No threats of violence.. no gangster BS..
Chubby Checker recorded "The Twist" in 1960. He should have abs of steel by now.
met Chubby. I swear,thee guys voice was amazing in 2012,saw him live. Must be taking allot of vitamins
They no longer call him Chubby. Lol
The 80's. Greatest decade known to mankind. It was fun growing up back then.
Great times, Great music, Love the Fat boys, wish I could go back in time, no Social media ,a super simple time 😊
I loved this vid....I met Chubby Checker in Baltimore with my dad in 1981...He's a really nice guy. I danced in front of the stage....He wanted me to come onstage, but I was 2 shy! Some of my friends said I was crazy for not dancin' with him,lol
Rest in Peace Markie Dee
Wow! Music's evolutions from Mr.Checker's day. 1958-1988.
This song has answered many of the questions I had about life and universe.
We could sure use all the wisdom that experience afforded you for meeting the challenges facing humanity today, in the year of our Lord, 2020. Chubby Checker, I am so sorry the world had forsaken you - written your off as a cocaine fiend, a sexual predator, has-been.

Same. 12 years later
Well, hello thread.
@@MichaelAronson Woow you're really there
OMG!!! Wow, what a trip down memory lane. 1st rap group i ever listend to, they got me into it when i was 8. This is awesome, lol! Rest in Peace Buff!
2024 and still jamming this cover🔥❤️
Ahhh childhood memories... brilliant song and music video!
Loved these guys and Kid n Play growing up in the 80's. I can remember begging my mom to buy me the cassette tapes of these guys when I was like 12.
The Fat Boys were legends!
Absolutely ❤
Thanks a lot for posting this Video. i've been looking for this for Years. Memories arriving on track 4.
tks for this great video,i have wanted this one for a least a decade,Yeahh tks..
Another reason why the 80's was the greatest decade ever....
When I was young Chubby Checker allowed the gang from Carson Valley to swim in this great pond he had.. our transistor radios blaring out the original version into the air. I had fun watching this and remembering some nice times
This videos is peak 80s. I love it.
Hazel Leigh My sentiments exactly.
Look at the mixed crowd
LETS GO YALL50 YEARS OF MUSIC.HIP HOP MUSIC THANK YOU F/B.8/2023
THE dance of the rock era. This song is just cool as hell. I'd shout out for a new version but seriously who could top Chubby and The Fat Boys?
A great 1980s Twist. Miss those years.
Gangsta Rap was just on the horizon and rappers couldn't have fun anymore, without being seen as corny or soft!
Had always hoped for more, now we only have the music and the memories. PMD and Buff are rocking the universe now...
this is the best frigging thing ive ever seen on a monday night at 10:28 PM wow thank you fat boys and chubby checker for showing out on this one, my hats off to yall
I can't remember the last time I heard this version of the song. I love it just as much as I loved it when I was a kid.
I keep watching this. Tonight I cried. I miss this music.
Those were the best times to be living. I understand why you cried. There was more innocence then. Look at what this world has come to in such little time! At least people our age were able to experience the “good ole days”.
You are sooo right!!!
one of the best collaberations ever
If anyone thinks the 80s aren't the greatest decade in music history then surely they have not experienced the magnificence of this song! Behold!
I REMEMBER MEETING THESE GUYS IN PERSON WHEN THEY WERE PROMOTING THE WIPEOUT ALBUM IN HAWAII I MEET THEM MY CUZINS WORK IN HAWAII SUMMER OF 87' THEY WERE MOST HUMBLE GUYS YOU'D EVER MEET BEAT BOX WAS A FUNNY PERSON IM GLAD I MET HIM R.I.P THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES GUYS
My first concert was Rick Springfield back around 1983. I'm a city girl and back in the 80's it was just awesome. I can soooo relate with you.
A sad end 2 Darren Robinson AKA The Human Beat Box. Passed away on 12/10/95 from a heart attack age 28. No surprise. May he RIP. Thanks 4 the memories.
He was my favorite one too. Yah only 7 years after this was made I think, they were in decline by then but it really wasn't long past the height of their careers.
The weird thing is Chubby Checker is still alive, 74 years old.
MCA was also my favorite Beastie Boy and he died, what's up with that?
Adam Yauch aka MCA of Beastie Boys fame. Passed away on 5/4/12 at age 47 from cancerous parotid and lymph node cancer.
😭😭
So sad. They were a lot of fun to listen to and I'm not a fan of rap music.
@@kathyfeilmeier1630 what's the laughing emojis for?

Hit #16 for Chubby and the Boys in Billboard. God bless!
You can't get anymore 80's than that. I think I owned half of those outfits....lol
I remember listening to this in '88 on my tape player whilst playing Atari. :)
No
@@elianaweissman8303 What do you mean, no?
8-track or cassette or both?
@@Rlotpir1972 Just cassette.
This is when music was fun not all this depressing stuff they put out today. Oh how I would love to go back!
I love how little some things make sense, but it doesn't matter because they're awesome.
Wow not heard this in 22 years bloody love it
Loved these guys. Rest in Peace Prince Markie Dee.
Coming back hard again 1987!
Still play this on my MP3 brilliant song as ever
The Fat Boys and Chubby Checker, Anthrax and Public Enemy. Fun stuff!!
First english song I've heard at the age of 5, legendary track :)
What a great song!!!!
this reeks of the 80s. I love it
I totally agree with you, just for the fact that Chubby Checker is on it, re-working the lyrics to mention their names, but I love the nostalgia associated with hearing the Fat Boys... take me back to when I was 6-7 yrs. old. ah, the good old days...
I had just started the 10 th grade when the Fatboys came out with such fun rap No cursing.
That's when music was fun to dance to
I love this videoclip!!! It makes me wanne smile all the time while looking at it!!!
Ah... memories...Went to Worlds of Fun and saw my first live concert (Twisted Sister) before i was even fourteen all between 84 and 86. I'm a small town guy but back then it was just... so alive and COOL!
Where did Chubby find that suit?
I’ve heard firsthand from a relative that crazy p1mp/church suits are still seen in Detroit. I imagine it’s the same with big inner cities.
They were my favorite rap group. Awesome memories.
Still fuckin Dope ....Thank you Fat boys for making me a hip hop head forever......real hip hop.....trap don't count.
Great song and video 😀👍🎶🎶🎶💃💃💃
Rip Buffy.thanx for the memorys
Talk about "back in the day"!! Thanks for posting this! That's when rap was fun!!

This is fun at its ultimate high.
Das Lied ist eine Legende.

The fat boys were one of the best fun loving rap groups when i was growing up.
