Do you go to gym and exercise to music? Before Chubby Checker, that never happened.
Chubby Checker changed the dance floor.
History was made the day Chubby Checker went on 'Bandstand' with 'The Twist.'
I was obsessed with Chubby Checker and old dances, like the twist.
When you throw your hands up in the air like you just don't care, you're doing 'The Fly' by Chubby Checker!
The only difference between The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, and Chubby Checker is that they get their music played on the radio.
This is my greatest regret - that my music is not being played, and more people aren't seeing Chubby Checker. That's very painful for me. Many nights, I have tears in my eyes about that.
Chubby Checker lost pounds by demonstrating how to move as if you were 'drying your back with a towel' ? the substitution of the word 'back' for 'bottom' indicates the oddly wholesome image of the Twist.
Alexander Graham Bell brought us the telephone. He owns the telephones in the buildings. Thomas Edison owns the lightbulb. Whether they took it and did things to improve it, he's the guy. Now on the dance floor, that belongs to Chubby Checker.
Ay Rios, you want to fight at 140? We can fight at 140. You're chubby, I just seen you in Vegas, you were chubby, your ears were chubby.
I'm proud of our country that we elected Barack Obama. I mean, it says something about us nationally. You know, it's kind of like crowning your checker when you get to the end of your checker board. Here's another thing that says America's special: Barack Obama, president of the United States.
I was a chubby, chubby little tub-tub. At the times when it mattered: twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. I'm so happy I was. If you're beautiful young, you really miss out on developing parts of yourself.
One of those chubby kids that would do something athletic and everybody would look at me and say, 'What the heck? Did that kid just do that?' That's the kind of chubby kid I was.
How strange a checker-work of Providence is the life of man!
Happy the man who sees a God employed in all the good and ills that checker life.
I actually saw a kid and went home and drew him. I don't even know who he was. I was buying a TV set in Circuit City. I was looking at this kid and he was kind of standing there, staring off into space. Kids are pretty chubby nowadays because of all the fast-food places. I grew up eating fast food but now everything is double beef and double cheese. So there are a lot of these chubby boys with long, baggy shorts.
