My sister and my big break on an episode of "I Love Lucy," titled "Tennessee Bound." I am the one on the left and my sister Roz is on the right. Be sure to check out my other videos! :)
R.I.P. Marilyn (1932-2009) & Roz (1932-2003) Borden; a/k/a "The Borden Twins" And thanks to their talents and the talents of Desi Arnaz and Desilu, who innovated the concept of preserving episodic TV on film, this performance will last as long as there remains people interested in the show & in good television comedy.
Isn't it wonderful that we can be shown this clip by one of its stars? Without the Internet this just could not happen!! RIP to you both, you're a piece of TV history.
I've had the pleasure of meeting the Borden twins! Roz died several years ago, but I believe Marilyn is still with us. They were both very kind to me when I met them.
This was such a great episode! You two were hilarious as Teensy and Weensy! Fine job by both of you, and how lucky you were to work on the world's greatest television show! Hello to you both and thanks for the smiles! :D
Some of this episode's best lines discussed or described Teensy and Weensy. Cousin Ernie says, "They are as close as two peas in a pod . . . well, two watermelons in a patch." At another point, Ernie relates what it was like asking Teensy to marry him, "So I took her aside and asked her to marry me. She said no. Turned out to be Weensy, and she can't stand the sight of me."
I've just now read the comments further...only to learn that Marilyn has passed on as well. As I write this I am very sad. I once had an autographed picture of them but I lost it in when I moved from the west coast. I always thought of writing to Marilyn to ask her for another one...but I never did. I now regret that terribly. Rest in peace Marilyn and Roz-I love you both.
I sincerely hope the You Tube channel and the website of The Borden Twins will be preserved and maintained for posterity, perhaps with the assistance & sanction of the Twins' sister Barbara, children, and/or nephews & nieces.. I never realized the Twins' career lasted so long after their legendary appearances on that episode of "I Love Lucy." But even if were not the case, just for that contribution alone, a significant part of our cultural history.
And sometimes when you watch an old Western movie or TV show, there will be a sound effect of a bullet ricocheting off a rock or some object in the background, after a gunshot is fired. As regards this song, I guess a more contemporary term would be "rebound romance," not wishing to be the object of someone's pursuit after that person has just broken up with or "bounced off" another, and then on to another, etc.
I miss this episode- one of the best, I guess CBS owns all rights to it because its not available anywhere online except via their subscription service 😠
I hate it when someone says "I don't want to sound disrepectful or anything" before they insult someone...yes you DID want to sound disrepectful or you wouldn't have said it.
This is the best show that has ever graced American TV! It was funny, well-written, wholesome fun without all of the politically correct, "leftist" pedantic garbage that people like Norman Lear made popular back in the 70's. And, yes, those girls are GREAT!!!
Loved this! I belong to an I Love Lucy group on Facebook. There are some people that took great offense to the comments made by some of the rest - like Ernie saying "They're like two peas in a pod , or two watermelons in a patch." Said it's body shaming. I took offense and said it's comedy
Was this bit cut out of the tv episodes that ran in syndication for years? I’ve watched every episode many times on tv but don’t remember this song. I do remember teensy and Weensy just not this tune

Then I walked around Weensy, which is no small trip.
So I walked right around her, which is not a short trip...
My 73 year old mom and me after too many beers. 👀😹
How neat of you to actually post this! This is one of my favorite episodes of I Love Lucy :-)
The old fellow in the hat is my uncle, Will Wright, who was a well-known character actor!
Great musical episode...
They would have been 90 years old this year
Desi, Lucy, Fred and Ethel all look mighty impressed and happy with this performance, don't they? Real enthusiasm!
Favorite episode

Exactly - the woke cancel culture mob destroys everything.

As someone who has seen this scene 10,000 times, I'd say, "no".
This scene was indeed cut from the syndicated episode.
Wow, with the volume cranked to the max, this is barely tolerable audio.
so you upload it.
