O original de Hank Ballard e os Midnighters foi gravado em 11 de novembro de 1958 em Cincinnati, mas só ficou em posição B‑side de “Teardrops on Your Letter”, ficando no topo apenas na versão de Chubby Checker.
Chubby Checker popularizou a canção em 1960 depois de ter sido recomendada a Dick Clark pelo DJ Buddy Dean, o que levou à primeira vez que a música estreou no número um do Billboard Hot 100.
Em 1962, a música voltou a alcançar o topo dos charts, sendo a única single que chegou ao primeiro lugar em duas corridas distintas – um feito que marcou a aceitação de rock by adultos na alta sociedade.
A gravação de 1988 com The Fat Boys trouxe “The Twist” de volta à fama, atingindo o número 1 na Alemanha e o número 2 no Reino Unido, enquanto a versão “Yo, Twist” entrou no topo das paradas americanas em 1988.
A faixa tem origem em um riff antigo de “What’cha Gonna Do” de 1955, e o nome “The Twist” foi inspirado em Brother Joe Wallace dos The Sensational Nightingales, embora a banda nunca tenha registrado a canção.
