Rock 'n' roll icon Chubby Checker's lawyers have filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against bosses at technology giant Hewlett-Packard over a software application that estimates the size of a man's penis based on his shoe size.

The Twist hit-maker, real name Ernest Evans, is far from amused by The Chubby Checker app, and he filed suit in Florida on Monday.

The application boasts: "Any of you ladies out there just start seeing someone new and wondering what the size of their member is? All you need to do is find out the man's shoe size and plug it in... Now with the Chubby Checker there is no need for disappointment or surprise..."

The singer's attorneys claim Hewlett-Packard's marketing men have done "irreparable damage and harm" to their client.
