Dancin' Party - Chubby Checker

Dancin' Party - Chubby Checker
2:08
single, 1962
Written by Kal Mann, and Dave Appell

A toe-tapping party vibe of a song. "Make a scene with the record machine / At the dancin' party tonight."  Like a lot of songs of this era about dancing, it lists some of the popular moves, artists, and songs of the time: Watusi, Bristol stomping, The Fly, the Orlons, and more.  It's catchy and fun, but it's too brief for such a stomper.  It would be improved with less party chatter and more of Chubby's irrepressible, jubilant voice and another sax solo.
