"The Class" is a 1959 novelty song by American rock and roll recording artist Chubby Checker. It peaked at number thirty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and was his first entry on the chart.[3] In the song, Checker plays a music teacher who asks his class (Checker doing impressions of various musicians) for their homework, which are variations of "Mary Had a Little Lamb". The musicians imitated are Fats Domino, the Coasters, Elvis Presley, Cozy Cole, and the Chipmunks[4] (who are referred to as Ricky, Frankie, and Fabian).[citation needed]
