Solid Potato Salad - The Ross Sisters (1944)
Never underestimate a woman who can
get both legs behind her head
and wrap her feet around her face.
and wrap her feet around her face.
(HINT: Watch past the first 45
seconds or so. Whoah!)
Solid Potato Salad? No, it's not what you get when you leave the deli
container out of the fridge too long. It's a 1940s term for...something (I
have no idea what. ) In this classic footage from the movie "Broadway
Rhythm" (1944), the Ross sisters, Aggie, Maggie and Elmira, sing and move in
ways that don't look humanly possible. Yoga anyone? Movie buffs will
recognize the tune as one of the background instrumentals from "The
Godfather."
It starts out looking like another kitschy 40's tune, but give it a minute. Things get wild! Now if I can just figure out what apples have to do with potato salad...
(Extra trivia: While the Ross Sisters are billed in their act as Aggie, Maggie and Elmira Ross, their real-life names were actually Vicki, Dixie and Betsy Ross.)
