W6 “The Twist”

I chose to write about the Twist this week. It is honestly such a standard, this song is so good! It’s super iconic, it’s beat and rhythm just make you wanna get up and start dancing! I love how this song has appeared lots in different movies, Especially in the old Spider-Man with Toby Maguire. Where Harry and Mary Jane are cooking and start dancing to this song. #riptobey… but honestly this song is so catchy and I love how it really started the individualized dancing. It became such a huge influence to music going forward and really started that era off with a bang. What surprises me is Chubby Checkers voice, honestly it’s different than most. It’s got such an edge yet it’s smooth. Really quite yet it is super distinct, I love his name too!  Honestly the Twist really is that dance that started off all the other dances moving forward. There was different dances that got big but I feel like that kinda died off over time. The Twist really picked that back up again and it’s carried until now! It’s interesting to see it come out in the era of early rock too! Great song, and an even greater dance that came from it!
