Is there a song which cannot be made funnier by dropping the word "Trousers" in there somewhere...

I'm confused Willem.... do you mean "Trousers" as in:

"T-T-T-Trousers
(Turn and and face the strain)

I was thinking he meant

"We can be Trousers....just for one day..."

I have that one on the Sign Of The Times comp. - not to mention "A Leopard Never Changes It's Trousers" (Case History +) and "I Want My Trousers" (Marjory Razorblade).

We should talk more about Kevin Coyne - in fact I think a new thread may well be in order!

Next: A new treble concept album / rock opera about a pair of trousers that are thrown away because they're thought to be useless after the zip breaks, but are rescued from the bin just in the nick of time by a dustman who turns out to be an friendly alien visiting our planet from outer space.

The trousers are then found to have an extraordinary ability to play pool / snooker / billiards [delete according to preference].

Cue song ("cue", get it? get it? Eh? Eh? Oh f'fuck's sake - I give up!):
"Those trousers with the broken zip
Are surprisingly good at getting balls into pockets...."

The trousers become a worldwide celebrity overnight and make so much money from playing cue / ball related games that they’re able to open a number of holiday camps where everyone is welcome to stay free for as long as they like.

Unfortunately however it then transpires that actually the trousers are secretly brainwashing all the people who come to these "holiday camps" so that they become slaves and work in the mines for their alien masters who tuen out not be anything like as friendly as we had at first thought.

Or something.

The Jon B classic "Trousers Off"


Hold up, let me take my trousers off, baby
Hold up, let you make love to me, baby
Hold up, let me take my trousers off, baby
Hold up, let you be real to me, baby

Messing around again
Acting like way back when
We were just beside ourselves
With love, touching your lovely skin
Remembering feelings within
To rush the moment could be so hasty
When you taste me

[Chorus:]
Hold up, let me take my trousers off, baby
Hold up, let you make love to me, baby
Hold up, let me take my trousers off, baby
Hold up, let you be real to me, baby

Exploring the most within
If we're in love then is it a sin
Pushing my thoughts into your dreams
You know what it means
Pouring your body melts
And in the morning tell me how it felt
Hope it's just as good for you
As you are to me

[Chorus:]
Hold up, let me take my trousers off, baby
Hold up, let you make love to me, baby
Hold up, let me take my trousers off, baby
Hold up, let you be real to me, baby

[Bridge:]
Me wanna love you and know you, baby
Me wanna get it up for you
Me wanna take my trousers off, baby
Me wanna get loose with you
Me wanna love and know ya, baby
Me wanna take my trousers off, baby
Me wanna get real nasty, baby
Can I get nasty with you, girl

[Chorus:]
Hold up, let me take my trousers off, baby
Hold up, let you make love to me, baby
Hold up, let me take my trousers off, baby
Hold up, let you be real to me, baby

I think the real key here is that the word "trousers" is unexpected at all moments, so find songs with the word "pants" casually thrown in and exchange it for "trousers". Sort of like those coffee commercials, except instead of a rousing new coffee taste that startles yuppies into confusion, it inspires helpless laughter.

'dropping' the word 'trousers' ...?

brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 22:52 (twenty years ago) link

Lots of girls and lots of boys
Lots of smells and lots of noise
Playing football in the park
Kicking Pushbikes after dark
Baggy pants, dirty shirt
Pulling hair and eating dirt
Teacher comes to break it up
Back of the 'ead with a plastic cup.

Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.

Baggy pants, baggy pants, baggy pants
Baggy pants, baggy pants, baggy pants
