"This is hi-fi, okay? High fidelity. You know what that means? That means that this is the highest quality fidelity. Hi-fi. Those are two very important things to have in a stereo system. You won't have all that bass without the TK-421 modification, which we got available in this system right here."

Reply to TIL Chubby Checker (born Ernest Evans), famous for the early 60's song and dance craze "The Twist", got his stage name from Dick Clark's wife as play on the name of another popular musician at the time Fats Domino. by big_macaroons

Years ago, I sat next to Chubby Checker on a shitty little American Eagle flight from Nashville to my small city. He made damn sure that everybody knew he was the FAMOUS PERSON THAT SANG THE TWIST. I had to sit and listen to him ramble on about being the famous person that sang the Twist for almost an hour. Exhausting...
