Good Lord. All those poor WW II service men seeing this in a movie. I bet Salt Peter was needed in vats for weeks aferwards.
I'm with little Fred - Holly Cow is all I can say!
Now that's
flexible!
Incidentally, I do not put hard-cooked egg in my potato salad.
Just potatoes, celery, onion, dill pickle, and enough Hellman's mayonnaise to get the job done. Salt and pepper, too.

I like *German* potato salad with oil and vinegar.

Not really; the G.I.s had each-other.

When I saw that, I just thought "Consider the possibilities...."
With the way people thought back in the 40's, I am surprised that act wasn't considered obscene. Those girls sure had balance!

Americans were far
less prude in the early 1940's than under the reign of the christianists.
I can remember conversations with friends of my parents who were young in the 1920's. They lamented the death of freedom and fun in society.
I know exactly how they feel - I left the US just before Aids ruined everything and Ronnie Rayguns, together with the christianists seized power. Coming back to the 'States every few years over the last 25 you really noticed the differences.
Other ex-pats said the same thing, too.
The US today is a breath of fresh air compared to the last decades. At this rate, we may reach the freedom of the 1920's again...about the time we're all in our 70's.

I thought that "solid" was a slang term of the day for something that was "good".
I didn't think it meant potato salad with whole boiled eggs in it.
But then I don't know what potato salad has to do with contortionism.

I got interested in the lyrics.
They were written by Don Raye, who also wrote the lyrics to such hits as "Beat Me Daddy, Eight to the Bar", and "Cow-cow Boogie".
I think the music to "Solid Potato Salad" was by his usual collaborator, Gene de Paul, but not sure of that.
Nat King Cole also recorded the song - with more boogie than Andrews Sisters swing to it.
Still don't know just what was meant by the term "Solid Potato Salad", but Raye also used the term in another song, as "four solid". My guess is that at the time the term "solid" was slang for "real". It's still used as slang today, but more to indicate a favor, as in, "Do me a solid".

Geeze you can't even post a fun thread about potato salad without it being ruined with Christianst rant for fuck sakes

You should read about Michael Phelps.. Double-jointed elbows, knees and ankles, size 14 flippers etc, the man is a human dolphin. Oh and he smokes pot too, another +1 in my book.
Yes, Phelps is a bit of a freak, physically. His double jointedness allows him to be more efficient in the water... he can turn his feet straight back so that there is less drag in the water. And his unusually long arms give him even more of a power stroke.
I'll bet that kept quite a few of the boys warm in their foxholes!
