MATE THIS TRADCK IS A FUCKIN BANGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I remeber this commercial playing before ET and Poltergiest in the summer of 1982. Atari honestly should've stuck with this version.

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!

This song is so catchy, also this is one of my favorite games

Wow, he sung this? I hope by choice, this is EPIC

Now come on everybody, take a chance, go underground, do the dig dug dance!

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
