"'''Twist and Shout'''" is a 1961 song written by [[Phil Medley]] and [[Bert Berns]] (later credited as "Bert Russell"). It was originally recorded by [[The Top Notes]], but it did not become a hit in the record charts until it was reworked by [[the Isley Brothers]] for their album ''[[Twist & Shout (album)|Twist & Shout]]'' in 1962. The song has been covered by several artists, including [[the Beatles]], [[Salt-N-Pepa]], and [[Chaka Demus & Pliers]], who experienced chart success with their versions.

==Original version==
[[The Top Notes]], an American [[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] vocal group, recorded "Twist and Shout" at the [[Atlantic Studios]] on February 23, 1961. The session was arranged by [[Teddy Randazzo]] and produced by [[Phil Spector]].{{efn|In 1961, Spector was staff producer at [[Atlantic Records]], before he developed his trademark "[[Wall of Sound]]".}} The Top Notes' Howard "Howie" Guyton provided the lead vocals,<ref>{{cite book| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oQJ1AQAAQBAJ&q=%22the+pearls%22+guyton+notes&pg=PA228 |via=Google Books| title=Who Did It First?: Great Rhythm and Blues Cover Songs and Their Original Artists| last=Leszczak| first=Bob| page=228| year=2013|publisher=Scarecrow Press | isbn=978-0810888678}}</ref> with accompaniment by saxophonist [[King Curtis]], guitarist [[Bucky Pizzarelli|John Pizzarelli]], drummer [[Panama Francis]], and backing vocalists [[the Cookies]].<ref>{{cite book| title=Here Comes the Night: The Dark Soul of Bert Berns and the Dirty Business of Rhythm and Blues| last=Selvin| first=Joel| page=369| year=2014| publisher=Catapult| isbn=978-1619023789}}</ref>

In a song review for [[AllMusic]], [[Richie Unterberger]] described the Top Notes recording as "a [[Latin music|Latin]]-tinged raveup with a drab generic R&B melody" that he felt was "not very good".<ref name="AM">

When [[the Isley Brothers]] decided to record the song in 1962 for their album ''[[Twist & Shout (album)|Twist & Shout]]'', Berns (who also used the name Bert Russell) assumed the role of producer. According to Unterberger, the new arrangement infused the tune with more "[[Gospel music|gospel]]-fired soul passion":<ref name="AM"/> 
{{blockquote|[T]he real master trick of this rearrangement was a new bridge consisting solely of four ascending sung notes, the tempo becoming more emphatic and dramatic, ending in exultant sustained whooping before a "shake it up baby" led the Isleys back into the verse.<ref name="AM"/>}}
"Twist and Shout" became the group's first single to reach the Top 20 on the US [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] singles chart.

This version of the song was inducted into the [[Grammy Hall of Fame]] in 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.grammy.com/awards/hall-of-fame-award#t|title=GRAMMY Hall Of Fame &#124; Hall of Fame Artists &#124; GRAMMY.com|website=grammy.com}}</ref>

[[The Beatles]]' rendition of "Twist and Shout" was released on their first UK album ''[[Please Please Me]]'' in 1963, inspired by the Isley Brothers' version.<ref name=":1" /> [[John Lennon]] provided the lead vocals and initially felt ashamed of his performance in the song "because I could sing better than that, but now it doesn't bother me. You can hear that I'm just a frantic guy doing his best." A second take was attempted, but Lennon had nothing left due to a [[hoarse voice]], and it was abandoned.<ref name="MacDonald">{{cite book |first=Ian |last=MacDonald |title=Revolution in the Head}}</ref> At the end of the song, Lennon can be heard coughing. The Beatles' version of "Twist and Shout" has been called "the most famous single take in [[Rock music|rock]] history."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/please-please-me-mw0000649873|title=Please Please Me - The Beatles |publisher=AllMusic}}</ref> [[Mark Lewisohn]] called it "arguably the most stunning [[rock and roll]] vocal and instrumental performance of all time."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Lewisohn |first1=Mark |title=The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions |date=1988 |publisher=EMI |location=London |page=26}}</ref>

The song was released as a single in the US on March 2, 1964, with "[[There's a Place]]" as its B-side. It was released by Chicago-based [[Vee-Jay Records]] on the [[Tollie Records|Tollie]] label and reached {{abbr|No.|Number}} 2 on [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'']]'s singles chart on April 4, during the week that the top five places on the chart were all Beatles singles.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Miles |first=Barry |title=The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years |publisher=[[Omnibus Press]] |year=2001 |isbn=0-7119-8308-9 |pages=136 |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite book |last=Miles |first=Barry |title=The Beatles Diary Volume 1: The Beatles Years |publisher=[[Omnibus Press]] |year=2001 |isbn=0-7119-8308-9 |pages=139 |language=en}}</ref> It was the only million-selling Beatles single in the U.S. that was a cover song, and the only Beatles cover single to reach the top 10 on a national record chart.<ref>Wallgren, Mark (1982).

In the UK, "Twist and Shout" was released by [[Parlophone]] on an [[Twist and Shout (EP)|eponymous EP]] with  "[[Do You Want to Know a Secret]]", "[[A Taste of Honey (song)|A Taste of Honey]]", and "There's a Place" from the ''Please Please Me'' (1963) album. Both the EP and album reached No. 1. In Canada, it became the title track to the [[Twist and Shout (album)|second album of Beatles material]] to be issued by [[Capitol Records]] of Canada on February 3, 1964.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Capitol 6000 website - The Beatles' First Stereo LP |url=http://www.capitol6000.com/stereo.html |access-date=2022-09-21 |website=www.capitol6000.com}}</ref>

The song was used as the Beatles' closing number on ''[[Tonight at the London Palladium|Sunday Night at the London Palladium]]'' in October 1963 and at ''[[Royal Variety Performance|The Royal Variety Show]]'' in November 1963; the ''Royal Variety'' performance was included on the ''[[Anthology 1]]'' compilation album in 1995. The Beatles performed the song on their ''[[Ed Sullivan Show]]'' appearance in February 1964, and they continued to play it live until the end of their 1965 American tour. Additionally, they recorded "Twist and Shout" on nine occasions for [[BBC]] television and radio broadcasts, the earliest of which was for the ''Talent Spot'' radio show on November 27, 1962.

In 1986, Ferris Bueller ([[Matthew Broderick]]) [[Lip sync|lip-synced]] to the Beatles' version of the song in the film ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]''. Coincidentally, the [[Rodney Dangerfield]] film ''[[Back to School]]'' (released two days after ''Ferris'') also featured the song, this one sung by Dangerfield himself in character as Thornton Mellon and patterned after the Beatles' arrangement. The use in the two films helped propel the single up the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 23 at the issue date September 27, 1986, giving the group their second chart single of the 1980s (the other being "[[The Beatles' Movie Medley]]" in 1982).<ref>{{cite book |last=Whitburn |first=Joel |title=The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits |publisher=Billboard Books |location=New York |year=1992}}</ref>

In 2008, The Beatles' version was voted second best cover song in a poll by ''[[Total Guitar]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=TG's Best Covers EVER! |url=https://www.musicradar.com/totalguitar/tgs-best-covers-ever-247854 |website=Music Radar |access-date=29 April 2025}}</ref>

In November 2010, 47 years after its recording, the Beatles' version of "Twist and Shout" made a debut on the [[UK singles chart]]. One of a number of Beatles tracks re-entering the chart in the aftermath of their new availability on [[iTunes]], it peaked at No. 48.

In 1962, [[Decca Records]] signed [[The Tremeloes|Brian Poole and the Tremeloes]], a British group from [[Dagenham]], East London, in preference to the Beatles. Both groups had auditioned on the same day, and it has become legend that the Beatles were [[The Beatles' Decca audition|rejected by the label]]. Ironically, Brian Poole and the Tremeloes had no chart success until the [[beat music|beat boom]] in [[British rock music|British rock]] had surfaced, following the success of the Beatles. This triggered the frenzied signing of most of the popular Liverpool rock groups of that period by the major record labels, and their distinctive "sound" became known as [[Beat music|Merseybeat]]. Brian Poole and the Tremeloes imitated this style, and covered "Twist and Shout" for their album of the same name four months after the Beatles had released their version, and achieved the No. 4 position in the UK Singles Chart.<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">{{cite book

However, according to [[Brian Poole]], "we were doing 'Twist and Shout' on stage before we knew anybody else doing it and we felt we could have a hit with it.

===Critical reception===
Rick Anderson from AllMusic felt the song is "a fun novelty".<ref>{{cite web|first= Rick |last= Anderson |title= Chaka Demus & Pliers – ''Ultimate Collection'' |publisher= [[AllMusic]] |access-date= November 8, 2020 |url= https://www.allmusic.com/album/ultimate-collection-mw0000217991}}</ref> [[Larry Flick]] from ''Billboard'' wrote, "Who'da thunk this Beatles evergreen would become viable fodder for a reggae reconstruction? It has, and it works far better than you might imagine." He added, "With assistance from Jack Radis and Taxi Gang, Chaka Demus & Pliers playfully skip around a fast and jaunty island groove, darting in and out of familiar lyrics with bits of chatter and [[Toasting (Jamaican music)|toasting]]. Visionary programmers will find this will flow over playlists like a fresh, cool breeze."<ref>{{cite magazine|first= Larry |last= Flick |title= Single Reviews |magazine= [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date= May 14, 1994 |page= 71 |access-date= March 18, 2021 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1994/BB-1994-05-14.pdf |author-link= Larry Flick}}</ref> Troy J.

In a review for the ''[[Gavin Report]]'', Dave Sholin commented, "Summertime—time to hit the beach and party!
