December 16, 1991 – Chubby Checker filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s in Canada seeking $14 million for its alleged use of an imitation of his voice. The song “The Twist” had been used to promote McDonald’s McTwist french fries. But McDonald’s advertising agency said it paid Hank Ballard, who wrote and performed “The Twist” in the late 1950s, for the rights to the lyrics, music, and performance style of the song. #ROCkabillyHop @chubby_checker #twist #ImLovinIt #ChubbyChecker #RocHop #OTD #RockNRoll
