DIG DUG - Sung by Chubby Checker DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THIS PIECE OF MUSIC AND ITS POSTING HERE IS FOR SPECULATION USE ONLY!!! Here is the Chubby Checker version of the ATARI DIG DUG song that was suppose to be featured in the Clio Award winning commercial that came out in 1983 and was shown in theaters nationwide. I haven't been able to uncover why it wasn't exactly used (replaced by an unrecognizable band playing the song in the actual commercial), so if anyone knows, please share. For comparison and, primarily, as a reference, here's the actual live action commercial that features the song, but sung by an entirely different group of singers - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmFZnpnur4U THIS ITEM IS ALSO FOR SALE - https://www.ebay.com/itm/ATARI-ARTIFACT-CHUBBY-CHECKER-SINGS-DIG-DUG-ONE-OF-KIND-CASSETTE-83/153334206924

@skippingrock: I'll gladly load that up, but know that it's only the first 20 seconds of the same song that I've posted. The only difference is that it ends right after there horns blare and right before the moment that Chubby starts singing.

maybe they didn't go with chubby checker because they couldn't get him released from his record label. record label contracts can be very limiting like that. also there are people out there that can record cassette tapes and make the recordings sound better than new... worth a shot!
