Chubby Checker Sues Over Penis-Measuring App, But is "the Twist" Artist Really So Innocent?

Culture

Remember Chubby Checker, the singer? Neither do I, but you’ve likely heard his famous 1960 R&B hit "The Twist." Checker also popularized the accompanying dance style, a goofy mid-century equivalent to today’s "Dougie" or the "Harlem Shake" (both the real version and the impostor). Back then, if you weren’t “Twisting,” you weren’t anybody.
