Fox’s hit show “So You Think You Can Dance” decided to cut a short little video on Mary Murphy and why she calls the dancers “Hot Tamale’s”,and discuss what exactly is the “Hot Tamale Train”.

The clip starts off with Mary Murphy telling two contestants that they have two tickets on the “Hot Tamale Train”. Then it shows her doing her really loud scream. Then Nigel Lythgoe states that he doesn’t really know what a “Hot Tamale Train” is. Cat Deeley says it’s something good,but aside from that, she has no idea what it means.Nigel says he would never want to get on it, especially if Mary was screaming on it. Cat Deeley says you’ll probably just have to ask Mary to actually define it for you.

Mary says she’s always been calling dancers, “hot tamales” especially Latin dancers,and that she had no idea it would be a phrase that would become very popular. Then Mia Michaels attempts to define what the “hot tamale train” is. Mary says there are people who always come up to her on the street, saying that they want to be on the “hot tamale train”,but she tells them they have to earn it. It doesn’t come easy. Mary says the crowd goes absolutely crazy when she puts somebody on the “hot tamale train” so she makes sure she reserves it for dancers who are very,very special.

This is a pretty funny video and Mary Murphy’s crazy,lol!!!

“So You Think You Can Dance” airs Wednesdays on Fox at 7pm central time.
