In 1991, Joanie Bartels covered the song, releasing it as a single from the album Dancin' Magic. In a performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Checker danced the Limbo on stage. Checker's witchy laugh is heard a few times in the sequel "Let's Limbo some more," the nursery rhyme "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack jumped over the candlestick," is altered with the line: "Jack go under Limbo stick." There is also a drum riff between some of the verses and choruses, including the one that ends the song, too. They are: "Limbo lower now (2x) / How low can you go", and "Don't move that limbo bar / You'll be a limbo star / How low can you go."

Whilst later doing a recording session for Ricky Nelson, Strange was asked if he had a song for recording. Strange pulled out a note pad and came up with the tune in under five minutes, with the only lyrics being "What a monotonous melody" for every line, and pocketed the money. His friend produced a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and bet him he could not. Strange sneered that he could write a better song in five minutes.
