What dating was like in 1956.
It's the summer of 1956, and Harold goes to pick up his date, Peggy Sue. Harold's a pretty hip guy with his own car and a duck tail hairdo.
When he goes to the door, Peggy Sue's mother answers and invites him in. "Peggy Sue is not ready yet, so why don't you have a seat?"
Peggy Sue's mother asks harold what they are planning to do. Harold replies politely that they will probably just go out to the malt shop or to a drive in movie.
Peggy Sue's mother respnds, "Why don't you kids go out and screw? I hear all the kids are doing it." Naturally this comes as quite a surprise to Harold and he says, "Whaaaat?"
"Yeah," says Peggy Sue's mother. "We know Peggy Sue really likes to screw; why, she'd screw all night if we let her!"
Harold's eyes lit up and he smiles from ear to ear. Immedietly, he has revised plans for the evening. A few moments later, Peggy Sue comes downstairs in her poodle skirt with her saddle shoes and pronounces she is ready to go. Almost breathless with anticipation, Harold escorts his date out the front door while mom is saying, "Have a good evening kids," with a small wink for Harold.
About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly disheveled Peggy Sue rushes back into the house, slams the door, and screams at her mother.
"Dammit, Mom! Its the Twist!...Its called THE TWIST!"
