Here’s another good “where is her spine” video. Also plays immediately with sound.
Makes me want to finish my time machine, go back 62 years, take each one of them out to my Packard, bend them over the hood, and do them in the butt. Truly a beautiful experience awaits.
There is no Ross Sisters entry (as far as I can tell) at Wikipedia. Here is a chance for someone to fufil their lifelong dream and start one.
I wonder if it should be considered lucky that they were around at a time when their talents could lend to cutesy song and dance numbers, rather than the porn industry.
I like that last viewer comment:
I can’t even imagine the incredible leg strength it would take to pull some of those stunts off. I bet those girls could crack walnuts with their thighs.
My thoughts exactly. It was impressive, but Ed would have someone like this on at least once a season.
Somewhat off topic, but some of those old songs-who writes songs about potato salad, of all things, especially if it’s so dense it’s like concrete?
“Solid” was (and I suppose is) slang for “really good,” of course.
But, Guin… are you really so innocent?
I mean, really. “Hit your mama with that solid potato salad?”
Picnic-blanket shorts? Creamy spuds, mayo, and eggs?
It’s probable that my mind just snapped when the young lady wrapped her ankles around her neck, but man, the whole thing seems pretty dirty to me. 
My reaction to both videos? If someone forced my body to make those moves, there would be an explosion of titanic dimension, and I would be leaving in numerous body bags.
I noticed that the word “groovy” appeared in the lyrics of that song. I didn’t know it predated the 60s.
Somehow, someway there should be a The Aristocrats joke in this thread.
Wow. For those who thought that wearing one’s ass for a hat was just a figure of speech; she does it quite literally several times in that clip.
Contortionist sisters,
Great, now I have another fantasy that will never come true.
What is amazing is that there only about 4 edits in the entire thing. The first edit is at 1:40. I’m pretty sure the bit on the wagon involved running the film backwards at the end of it.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha! snort
Ya know, I’m Gay and even I can understand the appeal of this, uh, “act”…
Looking forward to the B side of the record, with their brothers singing and dancing to, “Asparagus Spears With Hollandaise Sauce”.
Lucky for whom? Do you know how much money a trio of sisters (especially if they were triplets) who could do those kinds of stunts could make in the porn industry today? They’d make Bill Gates look like a pauper in no time!
NCB, I call “Shotgun!” and “Sloppy seconds!”
*Be bop a reedle de ding fatoo
Be bop a reedle de ding fatoo
Asparagus spears with Hollandaise Sauce
and a nice green salad to toss
Pops, we got a righteous dinner for you
It’s all jelly and it’s barrelhouse, too
Be bop a reedle de ding fatoo
Be bop a reedle de ding fatoo*
You know, before the contorting, I thought, “What’s the big deal, they’re kinda cute, besides, the sound’s off.”
Then I saw them in action.
I didn’t think they made material that flexible back in the day. Those shorts would NOT give!
I just watched it again; I counted five edits. And if the wagon scene had the film run backwards, then there was a very skilled splice in it somewhere: The rising was not just a repeat of the descending. Given the other things those ladies were doing, I think it’s more plausible that it was forwards, just as it appeared.
Well, Titanic didn’t explode, technically.
The video is quite something. The sing-and-dance-part especially, it’s like they needed an excuse to put on their freakshow and felt a stick about food was it.
