Mel remembers that what it was called as a little girl!😂😂

I was a senior in high school when this came out in 1972. Everyone was playing this song and the girls were just eating it up and laughing their buns off. My what a fun time we had back then. We took it all in with a grain of salt. What memories...Chuck sure gave us all one to remember. Priceless!

@@degsbabe My senior class of 1972 just had their 50th year reunion. Cannot believe 50 years have gone by. Thank goodness I was born in the 50's to be able to experience the birth of Rock & Roll, the British invasion of the 60's starting with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. How the 60's ended with the grandest Rock & Roll festival 'Woodstock' back in (1969) ever!.What is not to like?

I was a senior in high school too and have always loved and laughed at this song.

Chuck is the man...

This was in England! They had a great sense of humor. 😂

This was Chuck's first gold record. There's a long session where he teaches the audience to sing. The boys sing "Ding A Ling." The girls sing "I want you to play with my." You can hear it fairly clearly on this recording.

my grandmother used to laugh and let us listen as kids. damn, this made me choke up.

We loved CHUCK BERRY's dingle a ling up here in the cold north too, greetings from Norway.

His first and only Number 1 song from the 50’s to the 60’s and finally to 1972

I remember when I was young and this song came out. We giggled at it. It's actually only a bit dirty in your mind. Listen to the first verse again. It explains what it is.

Chuck berry was one of a kind. I sure miss ole chuck. RIP 🙏🙏

I remember we had this record at home. when my mam played it for us, we were so shocked cos it was rude But it was sooooo funnny. We used to sing it at school, so all the other kids would laugh. We'd get into trouble if the teachers heard us though.🤣🎶🤣🎤🤣🎼🤪

Chuck Berry, the real King of rock and roll.

There's a longer version of this song that has him talking to the audience at the beginning and you will be laughing for a long time. You should check it out...Also check out his song"Reelin` and Rockin`",You will love it.

This was a very popular song. I had an album with this song but my grandmother heard the song and broke the album in half. So not everyone loved the song but it still makes me smile.

That's how you knew it was a good record!

He did this when he came to my college Frostburg State in 1968. He blew us away. One of the best concerts I have ever been at. He was such a great song writer and performer. An original.-Never to be duplicated.

The man was a genius. He could sing and play the hell out of his guitar.

Such a fun song.

Uses to walk around in jr high singing this. This and Mac Davis HARD TO BE HUMBLE

Omg! I haven't heard this in years!!

I wish you had gotten the video with the set up where he was teaching them their parts. It's so funny.

You should check out the full 11 minute version

The shocked look on Shawn's face is priceless.

Just another example of his skill as a performer. This reconfirms the fact that music is suppose to bring joy.

I remember singing this back in the day 🎸🇬🇧 R.I.P MR BERRY

Any Americans watching this might like to know u can see the whole show on Chuck Berry at the BBC 1972 .it's on line to view. All the best.

The 70s were absolutely amazing. It didn't matter where you were from, there was always room for one more at any event.

This particular clip is from Chuck's show at Lanchester Polytechnic Arts Festival, Coventry, England in June 1972, a week? long event featuring all kinds of music, from classical to Elton John. The audience is largely British students at the Poly (now a University). His show was filmed and recorded and instead of all his classic rccknroll numbers, THIS was the hit of the show. Pye Records released it as a single and it gave Chuck his first and only UK number One, it even kept Elvis' "Burning Love" off the top of the British chart. Before this he recorded essentially the same song as "My Tambourine" on his 1968 Frisco album, presumably because the record company didnt like the "rude" TingaLing lyrics. Ironically Ting a Ling was hated by the British rock n roll fans, the Teds etc, as they thought he wasn't staying true to his 50s RnR roots. But that's Chuck for you, always an entertainer, and never afraid to upset people.

I laugh out loud every time I hear this song. Love it!!

Saw him in concert when he was in his 80's. He was so good. Rest in peace..

I saw Chuck perform this when I was 17 at a summer concert on Lake Erie in the resort town of Port Dover, Ontario Canada. It was quite a concert. Chuck was full of energy and fun. He would do this after the crowd was a bit more relaxed. Inuendo to the max. Cheers from Canada

I'm 70 now and saw Chuck Berry around 1969 or 1970 in Long Beach California. Me and a friend hitchiked there and panhandled the $2.00 to see him. It was a trip; he had alot of energy!

I was just a little kid when this song came out in 1972, but I can remember it well and thought it was hilarious, which it is. The amazing thing about this song though is that I am really surprised it was played on the radio!😀

The only sad thing about this song is that it was his biggest hit!!!

It never stops being funny!🤣

ABSOLUTELY LOVED your reaction to Chuck Berry's 'My Ding-a-ling'! Especially Shawn's!! Too funny!! You guys are great!

Chuck covered this 50's song in1972, and I remember many radio stations banned the song. We young people still managed to find stations on which to hear it though, and it always made us laugh. Crazy that with everything Chuck did, this was his only #1 single. ...

We used to sing this song on the school bus on the way to school every morning even the bus driver joined in, Love Chuck berry !

Chuck Berry was great ! He had it rough in the 60’s because he was black he kept right on going what a musical genius. Love you bruh RIP !!!

I've been waiting for you guys to do one! Thanks.

…we had rolls of laughter growing up to this Chuck Berry’s Classic 🤣😂🤣❤️❤️

loved the song i remember it from the 70,s it still brings a smile to my face and i,m 60 lol.

Saw him in '72 and we sang this as loud as we could. Unforgettable. Thanks for memory lane!!

This is my favorite song of the True King of Rock and Roll.I first heard him when I was in grade school back in the fifties.

Hay, you two, I just watched your video staring that crazy man, Chuck Berry. I am a sixty six year old grandmother now, but, when Chuck Berry released that song in 72, I was 16. We teens loved it, it was so funny, and of course the grownups was horrified. Lol! That song was censored back then, so I'm having a good time listening to it again. Ha ha ha, so much fun!

Lmao. I’ve never heard this song in its entirety. I had no idea Chuck Berry did it. Excellent.

My mother had the original album and us kids thought this was the most amazing song, ever! This man is legendary. He came to Tupelo, MS a while back. He was pretty old, but after the concert he headed straight out, he said he was too young to stay in a town that didn't party all night.

Even back then we all KNEW what he ment !

I am so glad you played this treasure of sonf

Reelin' and Rockin' from the same performance. Hilarious.

I think your reactions are fantastic. The look of shock on your faces hearing the line "my ding a ling" for the first time was priceless. There's an interview with Keith Richards who said that Chuck Berry punched him for touching his (Chuck's) guitar. Also, "Surfin' U.S.A." is credited to Chuck Berry & Brian Wilson.

1968...My birth year... Incidently Chuck was singing about silver bells

You guys are so great I haven't laughed this hard from a reaction and song in a long time. I forgot about this song loved it as a child but you better not be caught singing it.

I've actually got this on an old '45... listened to it so much when I was a kid I'm surprised it still plays... but it does... and it's still just as funny!

Love this cute little song!!

Comico-musical genius, that gentleman. Such fun! Thanks y'all!!

I laughed so hard I was CRYING!!!

OMG..I have not heard this in YEARS.

Remember this from my teen years! Loved this song!

I was a high school freshman when this was popular. I was in the band and we rode a bus to ballgames with the cheerleaders. There were always sing-a-longs to and from the games and this was the most requested song to sing! hahahahaha

Such a fun song! Ty guys! Happy New Year to ALL! 🤗💖🤗 PS if you get a chance watch the full version where he gives the audience instructions on how to participate! Hysterical!!!

Chuck Berry to cool man !

Oooh, I really hope you went back and heard this from the beginning. Its gold. ❤🎶🎸

Amazing how just a little bell in the word Ding-A-Ling made it all funny

Absolutely loved it 🤣🤣 thank you

I was born in 1971. When I was a little older probably 3 or 4, every now and then we would be going somewhere, usually on public transportation, I’d start off singing “when I was a little bitty boy….. and my mother would slap her hand right over my mouth…. If I kept singing after she took her hand off my mouth, I’d find her hand on my behind! Hahaaaaa She didn’t mind us singing it at home….. but in public hahahaaaaa oh the good old days!!!

Happy new year. i remember when this came out, some radio stations refused to play it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

RIP Chuck, thanks for the memories. 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

I got in trouble singing this at school when I was a 6-year-old little girl. That was when the teacher could still pop you. I didn't understand why I got in trouble. Everyone at home thought I was hilarious.

Chuck was years beyond his time.

I love Chuck Berry .... my uncle used to play his records all the time in the '60s .... but this song reminds me of my late Mum who loved this song especially because thry tried to ban it here - so she went & bought it!! Chuck Berry is an icon to me ..... loved your reaction guys :)

Now that's the king of rock and soul!

I saw Chuck Berry in concert at Madison Square Garden in the early 70's. It was a Dick Clark reunion concert with 10 other acts.

He explains at the start what his ding a ling is, so any innuendo is in the mind of the listener

I taught my 7 year old grandson this song and he got in trouble singing it in school.

i TRUELY wished I would have seen him in concert

I fist heard this song as a child and laughed & laughed! Still funny as an adult 🙂

I love the story behind this song of how Chuck didn't want to record it due to it not being radio friendly. He had to be convinced to record it by the original writer and singer of the song that it will be great. To go from this backstory to watching him setup and manipulate the crowd it's just so much fun.
