Who is the only artist to have a song become #1 on the charts twice? None other than South Philly High’s own Ernest

dance song craze with other hits like “The Fly,” “The Pony,” “The Limbo Rock,” and “Let’s Twist Again.” When DeWayne
Jessie took the role of Otis Day, lead singer of the fictional Otis Day and the Knights, in the movie Animal House,
he not only played Otis—he became Otis! Since then, the fictitious group took to the road, touring and performing
party hits like “Louie, Louie,” “Shamalama Ding Dong,” and of course, their infamous toga party rendition of “Shout.”
