He didn’t say anything dirty. It’s all in “your” mind. 😄

[@romystumpy1197]

Exactly,I remember this well we were all singing it

[@angelatucker674]

That's right!

[@ericcarter2020]

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

[@54nomore]

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!

[@wildbill7081]

Yes I was already out of High School in 1972 and was in South Vietnam then in 1973 in Thailand and this song was a big hit

[@54nomore]

@@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?

[@TraviesoLoco]

Man... What happened to America.. It's full of sensitive, men DRESSED as women, and women thinking they are a man, mentally unstable, WOKE liberal softies now!!! "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN"

[@lindaanderson8796]

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

[@markharrold6876]

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.

[@dr.burtgummerfan439]

It was also his only hit to make it to #1.

[@Poeticlovechildd]

😂

[@RockinRedRover]

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.

[@TheDivayenta]

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

[@Irockthere4]

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

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

Oh I forgot to tell this was in England and the Queen was in attendance.

[@mikeyates7931]

Fun Fact : This was Chuck Berry's ONLY number one hit

[@stevedotwood]

that's a shame. He composed so many great ones that almost became standards. But this is fun.

[@sinneadfert]

What a shame

[@alanjay5974]

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.

[@Strrazor]

Chuck is the man...

[@shawnnixon2811]

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

[@RFWieder]

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

[@stevenmonte7397]

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

[@kenlangston3451]

Surprisingly this was his only number one hit.

[@blindeyedog01]

It was Chuck's only #1 hit. Believe that s*it? Crazy. Love this song. ❤❤❤❤

[@oddeman3489]

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

[@wildcman]

You should check out the full 11 minute version

[@robindew9072]

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

[@peggykunkel9180]

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.

[@christinalikoski4937]

🤭🤭🤭🤭 Sometimes I laughed at how our parents thought in their days Australia 💕 Christina

[@larrywong6331]

I was heart broken when your grandmother broke the record in half.

[@angelahart1578]

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

[@donsavignano4396]

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

[@Dianne-warrior]

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!

[@frankvigliarolo9800]

I remember this song when I was kid. Everyone thought it was hysterical. FYI- it’s a cover. Chuck Berry did not write this. It was originally recorded in the 50s by another artist.

[@highpath4776]

My Tamborine , I think, Still Chuck works an audience as a showman

[@denisesalmon4496]

When I was a little girl every time that song came on my mom with turn the radio up and tell me and my brother the same and she would laugh hysterically

[@RickBowman-sw5uw]

If you listen to the uncut version he teaches the audience what to do and explains the song before he starts playing it It’s great!

[@robindew9072]

He had a magnificent stage presence

[@kazshaw3945]

Even back then we all KNEW what he ment !

[@old56timer]

Chuck Berry, the real King of rock and roll.

[@harpergras]

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.

[@grandillusion4258]

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

[@GenieKOHara]

You are so correct...and Lord do I miss it!

[@heribertobaez2741]

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 !!!

[@jsjazz12]

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.

[@kimcutts424]

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.🤣🎶🤣🎤🤣🎼🤪

[@LolaJay_]

Haha! I had this reaction when my dad played Bertha Butt Boogie! 😛

[@jolenewitzel7919]

Such a fun song.

[@bowbutter7608]

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

[@timliston9450]

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

[@texadan314]

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

[@carolynussery8189]

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

[@angelatester2471]

I can't believe no one knows him. He was a genius....... I think this was filmed in London. We loved him over here.

[@wintermoon6978]

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.

[@joyparry9354]

The BBC didn't actually censor this song - although there was a campaign to get it banned - but didn't play it on their stations .... which helped to make it a number one in the charts!!

[@robertphelps1574]

Funny song it was a cover the original was by Dave bartholomew recorded in 1952

[@KennedyMusicTheories]

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

[@alsprettycreations8005]

It actually was a toy with a string and bells on it called a Ding A Ling, because of the sound the bells made, it sounded like "ding a ling", that's where the name came from. So, he's really singing about a toy but in an ambiguous manner.

[@IshiAndNomyJackson]

Such a funny one! Chuck had a bit of perv in him if you read up on him,lol

[@rogerdodger6025]

Chuck's only #1 hit believe it or not. This came out in 1972(recorded live in London) 18 years after his first hit "Maybelline" came out in 1954. I think he had one more Top 40 after this with "Reelin' And Rockin' " also 1972.

[@rlosangeleskings]

It was weird with all the fierce competition early on in his career that he never hit #1 until My Ding-a-ling... He was #2 on several occasions though...but rarely out of the top 10...

[@glennsmith8390]

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.

[@Upslider777]

Just let you know this song got to no.1 in the uk pop charts! Even though it was banned from the main bbc radio 1 😎

[@rethalockhart5452]

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!!!

[@wcwindom56]

i was 9 when yhis song came ou and everytime it would come om the radio id be singing along.. drove my mom nuts

[@robinmills8675]

I love watching people react to this for the first time.

[@marcelschellekens6386]

there is this other version, wherein he leans specifically to the male part. of the song. To this day i can't imagine how people didn't notice.

[@NiennaT]

you know it sounds from the accents of the crowd that this was recorded in the UK.

[@lancefawcett1809]

Recorded at the locarno ballroom Coventry west Midlands England on 2 February 72 as part of the lanchester music festival

[@5AXISDLOCKHART]

And no one ran for their safe space.

[@jeraldkimball494]

Chuck was a showman. Period

[@keithclark6299]

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

[@reneeallen3569]

Y’all in for a treat!!!! Another good fun song is Wildwood Weed by Jim Stafford. 😂😂😂😂

[@turnerdan53]

Also Spider and Snakes and My Girl Bill.

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

This was No. 1 in UK for many weeks and on TV, the BBC created a cartoon to accompany it

[@richarddawson689]

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

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Oh! You missed the very beginning when he talks to the audience - y’all gotta see the entire performance- 💖💙👍

[@dalee72]

The shocked look on Shawn's face is priceless.

[@haroldwelch2191]

i TRUELY wished I would have seen him in concert

[@ronnywestberry9503]

Reeelin and rockin should be your next chuck berry song

[@jeffthewhiff]

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!😀

[@Rebel9668]

It's hard for to think there are people who haven't heard this song, lol. There are a lot of great novelty songs out there. And Novelty songs from well known artists like this. Check out A band called Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show and their song called "Freaker's Ball" some time. Check out almost any song by Ray Stevens from the last 50 years, lol. Or Jim Stafford, or Bobby Bare. Hell, even Tompall & The Glaser Bros. had a funny one called Put Another Log On The Fire and Mac Davis' song, Lord It's Hard To Be Humble. So many other great ones out there dating clear back to the 50's with songs like "Baby Sittin' Boogie" by Buzz Clifford, Alley Oop by The Hollywood Argyles...

[@mrkrinkle72]

Bring back novelty songs! Check out please Mr Custer, its silly fun, what we need more than ever!!

[@paulcasey5486]

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

[@misterc5783]

Just silliness and fun. Got to love it.

[@sbradley3008]

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

[@frndofbear]

I was 7 when this came out. My mother obviously kept it away from us but we had a truly wild woman move in across the street & she gleefully played it for us when we were swimming in her pool.

[@cmc8375]

There is a longer live version. Also please check out Ray Stevens singing The Streak 🤣💙✊

[@denisetinto1828]

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

[@tomheinrichs7058]

Sweet. See you on Friday the 13th.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Hello. I'm from the other side of lake erie. Hello from Cleveland. Wishing everyone a happy new year

[@danieltrahan7197]

It's common knowledge that Chuck had a prodigious ding-a-ling. so naturally he sang about it

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love Chuck Berry, the R&R King! This is the cutest little dirty song ever! 😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kevinramsey417]

As a musician, Chuck Berry was a pioneer and a genius. As a person he was a monster.

[@rosesilveira344]

Chuck was years beyond his time.

[@camillevee2633]

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

[@wandadavis2124]

He also check out some Ray Stevens! He is funny as hell!!! 😂 Listen to.... The streak Mississippi squirrel revival Power tools It's me again Margaret Sitting up with the Dead But you must watch the videos to these!! 😂😂😂

[@gary17509]

The great thing was innuendo, but never any bad language from Chuck!

[@dorieann64]

This song was actually played on the radio. We were little kids and sang along.

[@phylliswest2465]

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!

[@p.j.morris633]

ikr it is a funny song.

[@susannezezon1962]

Nothing like sneaking it past the censors 😆😆

[@MrNailEm]

The large Elvis portrait is sending me through a loop

[@donaldk.macbaird5248]

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.

[@martinstevens4048]

Blasted that song on my 8-track-Chuck Berry Best Of The Best

[@eywine.7762]

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

[@rogersprague563]

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 !

[@carls1959]

Now you're talking. Ha ha ha. I remember this song from the Jukeboxes that used to sit on tables in restaurant booths. My dad thought it was funny that this song was the first one I'd play. My stepmom, not so much. There was one more verse and I can't remember if I made it up, or I had heard him sing it once. It went "I remember the girl next door, we'd play house on the kitchen floor, she'd be queen and I'd be king, and I'd let her play with my Ding a Ling."

[@pamelawilliams4896]

Yes, it's in a different clip.

[@phonebone81]

I think the most people know it but I must tell it again. This song was a stopgap on his recording and Chuck Berry never thought it would become as popular as it did. I love it so much like the audience at the movie, it`s just a great song and I think if it`s came out today it also be a hit like at the past (maybe). Greets from hamburg (germany) @all.

[@edithmaxim2041]

Love Chuck Berry. So handsome with a twinkle in his eyes.

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

Fun fact or tragedy?

[@scenicdriveways6708]

I had the pleasure of seeing Chuck Berry live in concert.

[@beauregardglenwood8115]

As kids we thought this was such a dirty song LOL Chuck is hilarious. Ray Stevens did a song called "Junk Food Junkie" it reminded me of the comedy of Chuck Berry. You should check out Ray Stevens "Junk food junkie" or "The Streak" but Chuck is a great singer and entertainer. Thank you for this.

[@thejim3501]

This was released in the early 70's. About 20 years after his hay day. 😁

[@rhondaroberts6021]

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

[@bobhoffman9848]

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

[@daistoke1314]

Ypu havent lived until you have heard 500 middle aged and elderly drunk northern English people singing my ding a ling in a Wigan social club the grannies loved it.

[@christinesanchez2141]

As kids OMG we loved this song because we would sing

[@GenieKOHara]

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. ...

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

I read some time back the Chuck Berry didn't like doing "My Ding-a-Ling." When he was asked to do it he was hesitant. But he went through with it anyway.

[@carolburnett190]

I was twelve when this came out. EVERYONE on the school bus would sing this together. If you like funny, you need to check out Mississippi Squirrel Revival by Ray Stevens.

[@josephboudreau3499]

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.

[@davidmeirionowen2210]

What a genius, I'm amazed you haven't heard of him before.
