The Carol of the Porta-Potties: A Lesser Known Christmas Classic [Video]

Oh, the lowly portable toilet. No one wants to use it, but sometimes, you have no choice. Now, there's a way to look at the Porta-Potty in a totally different light.

Service Sanitation, based in Gary, Indiana, has created a music video featuring 100 portable toilets that light up, forming a colorful Christmas display.

The light show is scored to “Christmas Can Can,” a favorite seasonal song by male a capella group Straight No Chaser.

"It all began with an idea to do something other than an old, tired, traditional card to wish our customers a happy holiday. It seemed rather fitting to do something more light-heartened and entertaining...an idea that revolved around music and holiday lighting...oh, and porta potties of course."

Behind the scenes: The video was shot on November 11 at Service Sanitation’s Gary, Indiana yard. Setup took 11 hours, what with positioning each potty and retrofitting each one with LED lights and electricity.
