	The Twist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The twist was a rock and roll dance popular in the early 1960s and also the name of the song that originated it.
		The song was written and originally released in 1959 by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters as a B-side, but failed to chart.
		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.

		The song, with Ronald Isley on lead vocals, quickly became a frequently covered soul music tune in the early 1960s.

	Chubby Checker
		A song called "Pony Time" was written in 1960 by Don Covay and John Berry and was released on the tiny Arnold label by a group called "The Goodtimers".
		When the song began to take off locally, it was brought to Chubby Checker's attention, and he covered it right away.
		In the fall of 1961, record industry history was made, when Checker's original hit record, "The Twist", re-entered the charts and by January of 1962, it was back in the number one position.

	The Twist & 60's Fad Dances
		Although dancers no longer touched when dancing the Twist, it was still usual to dance with a partner while dancing it socially and the basic twisting of the hips technique came straight out of the Lindy Hop.
		Chubby Checker released the song 'The Twist' in 1959 and its world debut on the Dick Clark Show in August 1960 set the world a twistin'.
		The Twist is so easy to do….just pretend to drop a cigarette stub on the ground, place the ball of your foot over this imaginary cigarette and twist it to and fro as if putting it out.

	Dave Dobbyn: Twist
		TWIST is the first disc Dobbyn has made that has sounded like a natural progression from the one before it.
		One of the things that makes Twist so endlessly surprising is its deliberate and sudden shifts in scale- it drops from the roaring rock anthem of "What Do You Really Want" to the almost African rural atmosphere of "Gifted"; from the meditative, Mellotron driven "Betrayal", one is lifted into the surging pop chorus of "Language".

	Sunset Song: Discussion: Ben Twist
		Long Rob's main song Ladies of Spain is actually English, as is the hymn we used for the church scenes.
		The tour of Sunset Song is long and follows in the footsteps of the heyday of 7:84 to an extent that few companies now attempt.
		The mixture of songs, music and different styles of theatre is also quite Scottish, perhaps relating back to the Communicado style that I noted above, but also to the more recent history of variety in Scotland than in England.

		NEW YORK (AP) -- Chubby Checker, whose song "The Twist" was one of the most popular dance records of all time, isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
		The song was so popular he even had a hit with its sequel, "Let's Twist Again," in 1961.
		He complains that "The Twist" doesn't get the airplay it deserves on oldies stations, and that radio is ignoring his new material, even though his latest song, "Limbo Rock Remixes," has risen to No. 16 on Billboard's Hot Dance Singles Sales chart.

	The Truth About Mana Song
		That means in the space of a normal 3 song twist, the bard would be providing a whopping 6 mana (at level 20) or 21 mana (at 32).
		The final mana song, Cantata of Replenishment, is the one mana song that is often very handy to use during a fight.
		This song, twisted with other songs like Shield of Song or Niv’s Melody of Preservation can keep tanks alive and buffed and casters full of mana, and is flexible enough to allow the bard to use instruments or weapons, depending on the situation.

	Sunset Song: Music: Additional note by Benjamin Twist
		I find it valuable to provide the audience with a vocabulary of movements, sounds and pictures to work with, so that they recognise a repetition and the appearance of something they are familiar with brings with it associations.
		I argued against it, holding the view that we quickly associate the song with him and his world, and we could use that top very quickly conjure up his world using just a single line.
		I at least partly agree with Dougal that these songs are alien to the rest of the music and indeed the rest of the play: they are the only bits that do not somehow derive from the book (this is true of the lyrics as well as the melodies).

		Marduks, ofcourse you can twist it in with 4 or 5 songs, thats not the point, were talking a simple 3 song twist with no break in the rythem and no gap in the song being up and on your group.
		I find this song very useful when soloing in sol ro after getting done with a mez heal round and getting ready to break mez i use this song and that first set of 3 or 4 hits after mez is broken gets mitigated quite nicely.
		I meen I would rather have a song that mitagates 4 pct and I can twist than one that has a break in twisting and is just a pain in the butt to use.

		While the strumming rhythm guitar provides the twist beat, the bass is walking up and down the scale on the beat, the tambourine is on the backbeat, and the lead guitar is off doing rockabilly solos.
		In this case, one guitar strums chords in twist rhythm and plays a bass part on the 1st and 3rd beats; a second fills-in, for the most part, in a picking style during the verses and in solos imitating the melody.
		That melody is in two part vocal harmony with the twist beat also being maintained by a shaker and a timing stick.

		As i was driving around town after a 4:20 session with my phriend Chris, this song appeared in my tape player, from a 98 show, "oh yeah, twist around!!!".
		I believe this song to be a moving recollection of a songs growth in the studio, which proves that the band is not perfect like many of us think, and may even have some insight into some of the creative difficulties the band has at their rehearsals.
		He blames everyone, although it is his own fault, if he had not left, the song may have come out the way he wanted, only "It wouldn't twist around that way" I am not sure who is credited as the music writer, and lyricist for Twist Around, but my guess would be Trey/Phish.
