"Philosophy, Jugs and Legs" featuring Bettie Page

This is a chance mixing of song and video that just synchs up so well you'd think they were made for each other, but it was just me messing with them. Bettie Page introduces the odd talents of Twinnie Wallen, a strange and not-so-sexy dancer and contortionist. "Look out, here comes your weird sister who thinks she's an ostrich, and that that's sexy," oh damn too late here she comes.." The ending must be seen to be believed, meanwhile you can dig the funny song by Dan Bern, which like the dancing builds to a climax to string you along to the big weird payoff at the end. Stolen from the movie "Teaserama", but with better music here. Enjoy.

That was my great aunt Twinnie! Where did you find this video?

[skatemonk]

Are you as flexible as she was? If so you should make a video! Try the film "Teaserama"...

[theblahs]

skatemonk, this is the most impressive music set to video thing I've seen on youtube.

I gotta say that move twinnie pulls in the end is most fucked-up indeed. Also i'm downloading Dan Byrne til the cows come home.

[skatemonk]

I just want to clarify and correct my previous mistake, the musician's name is Dan Bern, not Byrne. Go and buy his stuff, or at least have an easier time downloading it! He has a site at Dan Bern dot Com.

The title says that this is "featuring Bettie Page" but it barely is and that's misleading...

but if it had not have said "featuring Bettie Page", I wouldn't have watched it...

and I would have missed out on an amazing video.

This contortionist/burlesque-dancer­/ostrich is magnificent!

Also, the folk song is both poignant and catchy... a combo that I'm sure will have me singing this doo-dad all week!

Awesome!

I'm subscribed...

Yes, I'm afraid you fell for my brilliant marketing bullshit. Of all my videos, this one has the most views ever, thanks to my clever use of the words "tits" and "Bettie Page" in the title, never mind the three months I worked on "The Magic Show"... Actually I just wanted to share the song by Dan Byrne, and the first time I saw the weird un-sexy contortionist dance, my head exploded. Glad you liked both!

No, it's because they actually ate food and weren't swayed by media that repeatedly told them they had to be a certain way (skinny) to be beautiful. I love Bettie's full hips.

First of all, the music's all wrong. In the '50s, it would have been a"hot" trumpet & drums. Regular clothing--and morals--were so modest, that it was shocking to see women dancing around in their underwear. Laughable dancing style, but she IS demonstrating how flexible she is; I daresay most women today still couldn't do the contortions she did here. The zebra & black frou-frou show she's wild, but feminine. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I love the '50s stuff so much. Lol it's so classy and crazy at the same time.

Twinnie is so cute! I wonder what ever happened to her?

[PandoraSweet]

Wow at 3:24 - but yeah I agree with Matriarch667 about the music.

But still - awesome video!

[send2meez]

Whaddaya think we come here for? Our goddamn health or sumthin'?

[SexPlayyer07]

now these were some REAL women!

[meggoloppolis]

i wish i could flip around like that.

[loyalqueen]

i dont know...about the music i think its gives the video a different tone...but i do know what you mean about the jazzy music. i think this makes it cute

[Matriarch667]

"..but with better music" is highly debatable.

[crashwagon]

I love Dan Bern! I was like, what the hell, is my iTunes playing again?
