Her little shoulder shake at 0:20 as she moves her hips is priceless. I once took my friend's sister out on a date. We went to dinner and dancing later. When she did that shoulder shake thing it set the hook 🪝in me.
Let's go back two thousand years or more, perchance, Before Delilah, before Godiva, Before Gypsy Rose Lee was alive-a! Way way back, before they ever heard of oomph girls! At that time there lived a dame who did her dance, Without a bubble that blew to smidgens, Without a fan or without a flock of pigeons, Way way back before the Greeks had a word for oomph girls! With seven veils She wowed the males And made the hall of fame; And this modern swing And stuff and thing All dates back to this day! Salome was the grandma of them all, She had the stuff that makes your motor stall! This babe took Babylon by storm And handed down that magic form, You'll know that takes the wallflowers off the wall! Yes, they swing and sway, Shimmy shammy, but they show me, No matter how ya slice it boy, It's still - Salome! On Samson and Delilah, here's a tip; She got her man, but with no barber's clip! She merely went into her dance The day she found him with his pants, Her unit and her blitzkrieg was a pip! Yes, it's box office, Minsky gives them a diplomey, But no matter how ya slice it boy, It's still - Salome! You can slice it thick, you can slice it thin, Or you needn't slice it at all! You can cut it long, You can cut it short, You can hang it up on the wall! But then they claim it's somethin' new, It really doesn't throw me, For no matter how ya slice it, It still comes out Salome!
Wonderful! Thanks for the lyrics. A couple of suggested edits: "barber's clip" instead of "barber's quip," and "Yes, it's box office" instead of "Yes, it barks often."
I don't believe Salome had anything to do with Babylon tho - wasn't she the person who danced 💃 for King 👑 Herod in exchange for him cutting off John the Baptist 's head ?
Love it! She's hysterically deadpan!
She has just become one of my favorites of all time!
I love the yawn gesture at the end!

Her exaggerated facial expressions are marvelous as they don't compromise her singular beauty.
Virginia appeares to have dropped this: 👑
Virginia O’Brian is even better in color! Look and listen!
Without doubt, the sexiest gal of her time in the movies.
Add Ann Miller, too.
Magnificent is all I can say.
Naughty song: "Sal(a)ome"....but Virginia O'Brien is always great, wether wearing mustard yellow and deep blue, or photographed in blue...!!!
Don't get it.
I'm in 💕😘 Love
She's great and I love her too. RIP Virginia beautiful lady.
Should've been 100 today...
Love her!
Loved her so much!! There was only 1 Virginia I’Brien!! ❤️💐
A classic beauty with much talent❤️
Gorgeous like Ann Miller.
Wonderful
I simply can't take my eyes off her.
This is great!

With seven veils
She wowed the males
And made the hall of fame;
And this modern swing
And stuff and thing
All dates back to this day!
Salome was the grandma of them all,
She had the stuff that makes your motor stall!
This babe took Babylon by storm
And handed down that magic form,
You'll know that takes the wallflowers off the wall!
Yes, they swing and sway,
Shimmy shammy, but they show me,
No matter how ya slice it boy,
It's still - Salome!
On Samson and Delilah, here's a tip;
She got her man, but with no barber's clip!
She merely went into her dance
The day she found him with his pants,
Her unit and her blitzkrieg was a pip!
Yes, it's box office,
Minsky gives them a diplomey,
But no matter how ya slice it boy,
It's still - Salome!
You can slice it thick,
you can slice it thin,
Or you needn't slice it at all!
You can cut it long,
You can cut it short,
You can hang it up on the wall!
But then they claim it's somethin' new,
It really doesn't throw me,
For no matter how ya slice it,
It still comes out Salome!

You could also swap out this part with the clever play on words:
"The day she found him with his Panz- / -er unit and her Blitzkrieg was a pip!"
And I believe the rhyme actually goes
"And made the hall of fame;
And this modern swing
And stuff and thing
All dates back to this DAME!" 😜
