The article started with Miley's "twerking" performance in the VMA's. Then it started describing that the term "twerk" came out in the rapping songs in 1993. These twerking songs are as old as Miley Cyrus.The term which is an amalgam of "twist" and "jerk," emerged from New Orlean's Bounce music scene where the dance was name-dropped in songs like "Do The Jubilee All" from 1933. Its widely considered the first recorded reference as Jubilee chants "Twerk baby, Twerk baby, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk." Two years later,Cheeky Blakk released the song "Twerk Something," the first with twerk in the title. I listened to "Do the Jubilee All" song and not going to lie, I liked the song. It has a nice beat. Anyways, you guys should take a look at the video and comment what you think.
