"Twistin' the Night Away" is the name of a song written and recorded by Sam Cooke. The song was released as a single in 1962 and became very popular, charting in the top ten of both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard's R&B chart, as well as the UK Singles Chart.
In 1973, Rod Stewart released his version as a single from his album Never a Dull Moment. This version achieved marginal success, peaking at #59 on the Billboard Hot 100. A new version by Stewart was featured in the movie Innerspace. When released as a single in the Summer of 1987, this version hit #80 on the Hot 100.
The Shins titled their third album Wincing the Night Away in an apparent reference to the song.
