Chubby Checker - The Fly
Here's one from Hairspray, the 1988 John Waters original version. The Fly was released in 1962, around the time Chubby Checker's uber-hit, The Twist, entered and then topped the charts for a second time as the twisting dance craze got crazy again (after it's initial burst in 1960). I just learned that Checker's name, it's a stage name, is a play on words on Fats Domino. Wow! Anyway, I dig this tune for the buzz and the drums. Enjoy.
