Zitate und Sprüche von Chubby Checker

I compare the Twist to the electric light, The Twist is me, and I'm it. I'm the electric light.

My outlet is my music, and it's been this way since I was 4 years old.

I love food, and the food industry is huge, and I just love dealing in it.

Chubby Checker changed the dance floor.

There was very little art in my childhood. I was raised in South Carolina; I wasn't aware of any art in South Carolina. There was a minor museum in Charleston, which had nothing of interest in it. It showed local artists, paintings of birds.

I know it's true
It's all because of you
And if you go away
I know you could never stay

I know it's true
It's all because of you
And if I make it through
It's all because of you

And now and then
If we must start again
Well, we will know for sure
That I love you

Little darling
It's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, "It's alright"

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, 'let it be'
And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, 'let it be'

Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
