  Twist (dance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The twist was a rock and roll dance popular in the early 1960s named after the song that originated it, The Twist.
In 1961, at the height of the twist craze, patrons at New York's hot Peppermint Lounge on West 45th Street were twisting to the music of the house band, a local group from Jersey, Joey Dee and the Starliters.
Their recordings of "The Spanish Twist" and "Florida Twist" were major successes, particularly in Mexico, and the band were given the credit for starting the dance craze.

In the early 60's, and at the height of the Twist craze, Joey Dee and The Starlighters rocketed to the top of the charts with a song called The Peppermint Twist.
The Peppermint Lounge without the publicity would not have engendered The Peppermint Twist, and without The Peppermint Twist I don't think the Peppermint Lounge would have had the longevity it achieved.
But, the Twist lasted a whole lot longer than six months, 'cause if you've been to a wedding lately or any kind of family function, you'll see people are still dancing The Twist.
