Having lost the previous two attempts at 1600 metres, there was some doubt over Hucklebuck's ability to race at the distance. Tourneur said, "He was friendless today in the betting because there were doubters saying he couldn't get the trip and saying he over-races… but he has more friends now." In May 2015, Hucklebuck was crowned the South Australian Horse of the Year. Troubled by knee problems, Hucklebuck made only one appearance in 2015.

After failing to place in the Australian Guineas, Hucklebuck had two poor showings in Brisbane before being spelled. Trainer Phillip Stokes claimed the horse disliked the clockwise running in the northern states. He said, "I don’t want to send him to Sydney. He didn’t go any good up in Brisbane that way of going, so I’ve ruled all that out." On 1 November 2014, Hucklebuck won the Group 3 Yellowglen Stakes at Flemington.

The Hucklebuck became a wildly successful dance craze in 1949, partly due to its sexual connotations. LeRoi Jones reported that people danced at rent parties in Newark, night after night "until they dropped." The basic dance has been described as having "a double point with the feet to the side on each side (four counts) then a lift and twist of the leg and a small kick, then a shimmy, hip gyration... The dance could get very sexual in nature when done as a couple dance with the male dancing behind the female, one hand on her waist or hip and the other on her shoulder, gyrating the hips in unison or with shocking variations such as when the female dancers would lie down on their backs and the male dancers would stand over the center of her, slowly doing hip gyrations, hip rolling, wiggling dance movements, slowly working their way over and past the female's head."

His record "The Huckle-Buck", recorded in December 1948, was one of the most successful R&B; records of the time.

The term "cover" goes back decades when cover version originally described a rival version of a tune recorded to compete with the recently released (original) version. The Chicago Tribune described the term in 1952: "trade jargon meaning to record a tune that looks like a potential hit on someone else's label". Examples of records covered include Paul Williams' 1949 hit tune "The Hucklebuck" and Hank Williams' 1952 song "Jambalaya". Both crossed over to the popular Hit Parade and had numerous hit versions.

"Mule Train", Miller's first major hit (for Frankie > Laine) and the foundation of his career, set the pattern for virtually the > entire first decade of rock. The similarities between it and, say, "Leader > of the Pack", need hardly be outlined here. While some of Columbia's performers, including Harry James, Frank Sinatra, and Rosemary Clooney, resented Miller's methods, the label maintained a high hit- to-release ratio during the 1950s. Sinatra particularly blamed his temporary fall from popularity while at Columbia on Miller; the crooner felt that he was forced by Miller to record material like "Mama Will Bark" and "The Hucklebuck".

Checker later lamented: "... in a way, "The Twist" really ruined my life. I was on my way to becoming a big nightclub performer, and "The Twist" just wiped it out ... It got so out of proportion. No one ever believes I have talent." By 1965 alone, "The Twist" had sold over 15 million copies, and was awarded multiple gold discs by the RIAA. Despite Checker's initial disapproval, he found follow-up success with a succession of up-tempo dance tracks, including "The Hucklebuck" (#14), "The Fly" (#7), "Dance the Mess Around" (#24), and "Pony Time", which became his second #1 single.

They were persuaded by their producer, Essex Records owner Dave Miller, to cover "Rock The Joint" - a song which, like "Rocket 88", had already been successful with R&B; audiences. Haley recorded the song in February or March 1952. The exact location is unknown but it is believed the song was recorded in the band's hometown of Chester, Pennsylvania ). Haley made up verses of his own to appeal to his country music audience, naming a succession of hillbilly dances (such as the Sugarfoot Rag and Virginia Reel) in place of Preston's hucklebuck and jitterbug, and also used different instrumentation on the track, and more back echo.

A huckabuck, also known as a hucklebuck, a “cold cup”, or a “dixie cup” (referring to the paper or plastic cup commonly used to make it) is a homemade frozen dessert enjoyed by people in southern states particularly in Louisiana and in Georgia. It consists of a paper cup that is filled with some sort of sweet liquid like Kool-Aid, and frozen. Children buy them on their way home from school from the candy lady for a dime, or sometimes a quarter; other things are generally sold with them: chips and candy. The trick to eating it is to flip the huckabuck over so the soft sugary part is at the top.

More tickets were printed than the arena's actual capacity, in part due to counterfeiting and a printing error.

Freed made a public apology on WJW the next day,; he referred to the event as the "ball" or "dance," not as a "concert." Accounts in the contemporary Cleveland newspapers are at odds with lore that circulates today about the event, scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. “The frustrated gathered outside, unable to buy a ticket at $1.75, their number increasing until it amounted to about 6,000” as estimated by Cleveland Police captain William Zimmerman.“Moondog Ball is Halted as Crowds Crash Arena Gate.” Cleveland Plain Dealer, 22 March 1952. “About 9:30 they stormed the Arena, knocking down four panel doors, brushing police away and storming inside.
