Crucial Track for October 9, 2025

"Limbo Rock" by Chubby Checker

Listen on Apple Music

A song from the 1960s that you like or means something to you.

This is the song that my local skating rink would play when it was time to do limbo. Everyone who wanted to participate would get into a line to have a turn to try and skate under the limbo bar.

I keep remembering lines like Don't move that Limbo Bar and How low can you go?

I never won, but it was always fun to try new styles to get under the bar.

It wasn't until years later that I learned that other people limbo without skates.
