"The Class" is 1959 novelty song by American rock and roll recording artist Chubby Checker. It peaked number thirty-eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and was his first entry on the chart.[2] 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[3] (who are referred to as Ricky, Frankie, and Fabian).[citation needed]
