The song references the cha-cha-cha, a dance of Cuban origin that became popular in the United States in the late 1950s.

Background[edit]

The song originated from a Christmas 1958 party at Lou Rawls' stepfather's house. During the celebration, all began doing the cha-cha-cha, including Cooke's daughter, Linda.^[1] When one of the kids called out, 'Everybody, cha-cha-cha!', Cooke grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote down the lyrics while everyone else danced. The song was recorded the week after New Year's 1959.^[1]

The song concerns Cooke and his girlfriend going to a dance in which all are doing the cha-cha-cha, a dance which his significant other doesn't know how to do. Cooke teaches his guest but by the end of the evening, she is 'doing [the cha-cha-cha]' better than he is.^[2]

Everybody loves to cha cha cha
Little children loves to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
They like to cha cha cha
Everybody loves to cha cha cha

I took my baby to the hop last night
And much to my surprise
When we got there she hit me with the news
Right between the eyes

Sam Cooke Everybody Loves To Cha Cha Cha Download Song

Well, she said she could't do the cha cha cha
She said she couldn't do the cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha
She couldn't cha cha cha
My baby couldn't do the cha cha cha

I told her not to worry
They'll play some other dance
But we sat there for an hour and a half
And we never got the chance

'Cause, every song they played was the cha cha cha
Every song that played was the cha cha cha
It was the cha cha cha
It was the cha cha cha
Every number was the cha cha cha
