Chubby Checker

[Hudson]

If he is gay as speculated..he had one Hell of a Beard:
his Bio from Imdb:

his wife:

[weeniewawa]

the guy seemed OK, a little long winded but a good guy. Funny how he can be a one hit wonder and have the number one song in all of the 60's and still be making a living off it. And he is married to miss world sweden or whatever, I didn't think of him as a poofter. He just came across as a guy who only has one song and one story and has told it a million times and makes it sound like reciting a speech.

[Hudson]

He's from Philly..he's ok in my book.

[Freese]

Dude was alright. For an old guy, he kinda got the show and at least he did the song.

[gynecometrist]

He's straight (http://www.nndb.com/people/227/000061044/) and his wife was Miss World Netherlands 1962.

Really? way to not be bothered to read up 3 posts.:icon_roll:action-sm:icon_mrgr

I didn't mind his time in studio, I thought it was pretty cool of SC to back him for 'Twist'.
I've got the show on the Inno, I'm going to isolate the song and keep it just for the hell of it.

[progambler2]

You have to give the guy some credit.

He is out there grinding out a living playing all these gigs, travelling one end of the country to the other.
Doing all the local TV/radio shots and promos to plug his gigs.

A lot of personalities could learn a lot from someone who has turned very little into a long career.

People have a go at Dane Cook but his work ethic is much higher than a lot of comedians who are much more talented than he is.

[Sinn Fein]

The guy is a living legend, no doubt about it.

I enjoyed him on the show today. God bless him.

It's not like he led police on a multi-state high-speed chase after beating up his wife, like James Brown for example. I've never heard a bad thing about the dude. I'm glad he's still out there doing his thing.

[Mindslayer]

Yea, I enjoyed the segment, too. I also thought him performing with SC was pretty fuckin surreal, but very cool also.

[Arc Lite]

Also enjoyed him on the show. Thought it was real cool of Sabbra Cadabra to play the Twist.

[moegolden]

that should equal supermodel kids

[sd187]

It was worth it just to hear Anthony go 'follow me lead and try to keep up' when chubby was directing the band.

[Mindslayer]

Louie's "...and happy birthday, Jimmy" line was fuckin classic.

[NoSurviivors]

Tupac & BIG needed to die to even attempt to sell as many records repeatedly as 'ol chubby. That kind of music marketing still works ot some degree. (Linkin Park??) You take one song (or riff/hook whatever) and refine it again & again & again. I personally hate it.

It worked 30 years ago & built his legacy... no way it will ever happen again... or not on his 'level'.

Cover bands are better. I wanna see some dudes fuck up a chubby checker song before I ever see him.

[moegolden]

seriously...
chubby could really sing, man. all of my favorite rock singers always lose their voices, but his is still perfect for what it does.

[South Jersey]

How did you not get the douche chills when Opie mentioned hurricane Katrina? :icon_redf

I saw an MSNBC douche do the same thing with him right after Katrina hit. A few years back.:icon_mrgr

[Arythmetics]

It was worth it just to hear Anthony go 'follow me lead and try to keep up' when chubby was directing the band.

That's the best line :clap: and the continuation of the bttf bit.

[OhioPest]

Are you suggesting that we raise a generation of SUPERKIDS?:huh::icon_mrgr

RAMOOOOOOOOOOOOONE,this thread stinks worse than a cancer victim's unchanged 3 day old diaper.

[weeniewawa]

no body even mentioned how well Sabbra Cadabra did playing the song, which I am sure is not on their playlist

[Freese]

I really hope you die today.

He's no pudgy pawn.

[Fruit Monkey]

you know i kinda got pissed off yesterday, the guy came into say happy bday to jimmy and gets abused? WTF for he dont know the show, he is 64 years old have some fucking respect! the guy is a legend and he got shit on, just my 2 cents

[vegasbob]

Chubby was the weak point of Jimmy Bday show.

[ghirshorn]

the best part was jimmy making fun of the questions that vos was asking, "do you enjoy when people clap after listening to your music, Chubby comment"

[elitemrp]

I had to pause the show for 20 minutes when he started talking about his sick wife, expecting Opie to hit some button.

[Jims Rottweiler]

Chubby was the weak point of Jimmy Bday show.

Bullshit. What made that segment was learning that the iconic "Twist" is a song about fucking your sister. I hate to think what the "Limbo" is about.

[Freese]

Chubby was the weak point of Jimmy Bday show.

Not that Chubby Checker is the guest of all guests, but it's nice having different guests every once in a while. They fucked with him a little bit, but it was still nice to see they didn't toally run him off the show. Maybe if they are nicer to people that come in, the show can grow instead of people not coming in because they don't want to get goofed on.

Sorry, but you're a cunt.

[Johnny Cakes]

I enjoyed Chubby's segment.

But I got a real belly-laugh when Opie said" Mr. Chubby. I mean Checker".

[Jim T.]

no body even mentioned how well Sabbra Cadabra did playing the song, which I am sure is not on their playlist

Well, it's not exactly Beethoven. But yeah.

[Hudson]

I love that about 4 of us picked right up on it in the listening thread.

[mikek]

x2. while i respect the guy for a monumental song, he was a self-centered, pompous ass during the interview. I have no idea why they booked him.

shit... i'd give him more credit if he wrote the fucking "Twist" himself! but in the absence of that... whatever.

[CrazyMrPoopSex]

There is a big difference between making a few jokes and shitting on him, nobody was shitting on him.

I can't fault him and he didn't seem pompous to me. seemed like a nice guy who made alot of Money over the years on one song...hell he still has a great voice.

[Plunkies]

Was Chubby Checker one of Roland's guests?

[Hudson]

Was Chubby Checker one of Roland's guests?
no, "yoko's"

You know, as opposed to Godfrey and Vos. :icon_roll
People are dumb.

Don't be so passive... tell us how you really feel.

We get it, you get a chubby for Mr. Checker.:action-sm

I've got the show on the Inno, I'm going to isolate the song and keep it just for the hell of it.

how the hell are you going to isolate it? Do you have all the mics coming in on different channels?

[WOWmagnet]

He's no pudgy pawn.

boooooooooo

[Stalker Patti]

CHUBBY IS ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVE RECORDING ARTISTS OF ALL TIME! When I met him Friday, he was a real gentleman. He also recorded "Pony Time", another popular dance he started. I have several 45rpms which are more than forty years old and still in good condition. (a 45rpm is a single vinyl disk, for those born after 1980, by the way)He was a great sport when he came on Friday, even after Opie got cringy for a minute there, asking if his hair was real and stuff. Also SC did an amazing job with his song..that lead singer sounds so much like Ozzy, it's scary!

shut up!

[jackjack]

Incorrect technical use of the term on my part.. I meant isolate it from the rest of the show that happened before it and after it.

[Sack of Chisels]

It was similar to the Flava Flav incident.. he thought it was all about him. was still an alright segment, but felt bad for the poor guy.

[vegasbob]

Ok, am I cunt for having an opinion.
It's great to see that Chubby is in the O&A demo of 18-34.
One Hit Wonder cover singer.

[MelissaY1]

Agreed. I enjoyed his appearance and thought it was pretty awesome how he and Sabbra Cadabra did "The Twist". He did have a hit with "Let's Twist Again". You know (singing): "Let's Twist Again, like we did last summer....."......

No, but the stories he has gives a bit of insight to the past. It's called knowledge, you might try getting some of it.

[cigarsandscotch]

he is 64 years old have some fucking respect! the guy is a legend and he got shit on, just my 2 cents

You're thinking of Chuck Berry

[Hobo_Cum]

I had to pause the show for 20 minutes when he started talking about his sick wife, expecting Opie to hit some button.

x2

If he hadnt been Jill's special guest i would have to say that he would have caught a savage on-air beating. I was amazed at the restraint they showed. Even though the man is a legend i was still expecting some terrible comments and sound effects. Especially after they played his new song which sounded like it came straight from '84

guy can still belt out a fuckin tune though, thats for damn sure

[Tooz]

You know, as opposed to Godfrey and Vos. :icon_roll
People are dumb.
Godfrey SUCKS !! That fucking AAARRHH HAAARRRAA fake fucking laugh almost made me turn off the show early. I played it for a co-worker on the way home and even he was laughing at how bad the guy was.
Vos....well Vos is Vos.

[ragecage]

How did you not get the douche chills when Opie mentioned hurricane Katrina? :icon_redf


I think Opie did that on purpose just to fuck with him. I could be wrong though.

[TheDrip]

He also recorded "Pony Time", another popular dance he started.

Is that about fucking your pony?

[Iron Duke]

He's straight (http://www.nndb.com/people/227/000061044/) and his wife was Miss World Netherlands 1962.

I'd hit it.

And how about that great lap dance? Did you see the lame ass video? Boy she stank.
