"Twistin' the Night Away" is a song written and recorded by Sam Cooke. It was released as a single in 1962 and became very popular, charting in the top ten of both the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 (#9) and Billboard's R&B chart (#1). "Twistin' the Night Away" was successful overseas as well, peaking at #6 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was recorded with The Wrecking Crew as session musicians, including Rene Hall as band leader, Red Callender on bass, Earl Palmer on drums, Tommy Tedesco and Clifton White on guitars, Ed Beal on piano, John Kelson, John Ewing and Jewell Grant on saxophone and Stuart Williamson on trumpet.〔(Contract for Twistin' the Night Away recording session )〕 The Shins titled their third album ''Wincing the Night Away'' in an apparent reference to the song. The song was also covered by the Motown group, the Marvelettes. Their version of the song appeared on the 1962 album, ''The Marvelettes Sing Smash Hits of 1962''. The song was covered by Hutti Heita as a dark psytrance track in 2009. Cooke's version also appeared in the 1978 classic ''Animal House'', the 1987 film ''Innerspace'', and the 2011 film ''The Green Hornet''. The popular Boston-based soul band The Chicken Slacks take their name from a commonly misheard lyric in the song's second verse; Cooke is actually singing about a "chick in slacks."〔(Chicken Slacks Soul Band Boston )〕 ==Rod Stewart cover== In 1973, Rod Stewart released his version as his 14th single from ''Never a Dull Moment'', his 4th album. This version achieved marginal success, peaking at #59 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1987, he re-recorded the song for the soundtrack to the film ''Innerspace''. When released as a single in the Summer of 1987, this version hit #80 on the Hot 100. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Twistin' the Night Away」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
