The Contortionist Ross Sisters Sing Solid Potato Salad…Yee-haw!
Boy howdy. You do NOT see this every day!
Here’s an old song and dance routine from the 1940’s by the Ross sisters – a threesome who will make you writhe in your seat just watching them contort their bodies. I’m not kidding, I have a hard time watching these ladies!
Of course, I’ve seen other contortionists like Kristina Kireeva, but there is something like watching three contortionists doing it in unison that really super creeps me out. Take a look…
In case you are wondering about it, here are the words to the rediculous song they are singing.
Lyrics to “Solid Potato Salad”
Some people like their taters Lyonnaise, some prefer French fries.
I prefer mine with mayonnaise, cole slaw on the side.
Solid potato salad, that’s solid salad, Jack,
Solid potato salad, boy, take a plate, fill it up, bring it right back.
Solid potato salad, and let’s have no Yak Yak
Solid potato salad, boy, take a plate, fill it up, bring it right back.
The farmer said to the spud, your skin looks slightly pallid,
So I’ll dig you later bud, with some solid …potato salad.
Solid potato salad, that’s solid salad, Jack,
Solid potato salad, boy, take a plate, fill it up, bring it right back.
Take a plate, fill it up, bring it right back.
Take a plate, fill it up, bring it right back.
Take a plate, fill it up, bring it right back.
Solid potato ….salad, it’ll be so fine that you better latch on,
Solid potato ….salad, whatever it takes get a plate before it’s all gone.
The farmer said to the spud, your skin looks slightly pallid,
So I’ll dig you later bud, with some solid …potato salad.
Solid potato salad, that’s solid salad, Jack,
Solid potato salad, boy, take a plate… fill it up…
Take a plate, fill it up, and bring it right back.
Thanks to Lisa Marie for pointing this video out to me a while back. It still creeps me out!

Creepy?? Insect-like?? you are just trying to be dramatic. These ladies have a true physical talent that took years to develope. And to be able to sing too. I loved every bit of it — not creeeepy at all. You want creepy?? watch a worm crawl out from under a childs eyeball — watch someone slowly die from injuries while trapped in wreckage — you all have no idea what creepy is.
Where are these women today? They must be in their 90’s, if alive. Did they have long term back issues from the unatural contortions on their spine?
Ouch. There’s something oddly insect-like about them that’s a bit disturbing.
OMG, you’re so right! It is insect-like! Creeeeeep – eeeee!!
That’s a little bit like a human kaleidoscope.
Hard not to be both fascinated and a little “creeped out” by their song-and-dance routine, isn’t it?
I’ve always wished my body could move like a dancer’s:

Or like a martial artist’s:

All I can think when I watch these, though, is…ouch. ::whimper::
Ha! Too funny – as I was clicking to ‘read more’, I was thinking that you had shown it to me forever ago! LOL! That video seriously creeps me out – the ‘hat’ part gets me every time! :D
