From Wikipedia:

“Let’s Twist Again” is a song written by Kal Mann and Dave Appell, and released as a single by Chubby Checker. One of the biggest hit singles of 1961, it reached No.8 on the U.S. Billboard pop chart (No.3 on Cash Box) in August of that year and subsequently reached No.2 in the UK in the spring of 1962. The song refers to the Twist dance craze and Checker’s 1960 single “The Twist”, a two-time U.S. No.1 single (in September 1960 and again in January 1962 on re-release).

The song received the 1962 Grammy Award for Best Rock & Roll Recording. Checker also recorded the song in German as “Der Twist Beginnt” and in Italian as “Balliamo il Twist”. […]

On January 23, 1969, during the Beatles’ “Get Back” sessions, Paul McCartney played a brief rendition of “Let’s Twist Again.”
