NEW MP3 UPLOADED TODAY!
See what you think...
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=587695&songID=5283847

Not sure about the bridge arrangement yet--posted to the MP3 board for sugg's.

Oh--and if anyone's interested, just for fun--I could use a little more foley (sound effects). If any of you want to record a moan or groan or boooo (for after "I have a new song for you today...") that would be so cool. I still need a REAL MAN's voice on the "Hey. There is nuthin' wrong with these pants" line in the middle too.

I'll take a listen to any other heckling that fits it!!
Send your sound bites (WAV or AIFF format best) to me at:
editor97816@mypacks.net
If it's bigger than 3-6 MB, send it to that address via http://www.yousendit.com.
If I can use it, I'll put your name on as performing on the track. smile

Thanks guys! Enjoy!
Linda

The Underwear Song
by Linda Adams [BMI] (c) 2007. All Rights Reserved.

There's a big debate
All across the state
Are they boxers
Or are they briefs?
I don't care much what you wear,
Just keep them----
Underneath!

Heard some people say
Who cares anyway
Who has bikinis or a thong
Wear your boy shorts, stretch lace,
Granny-styles anyplace,
But if I see them----
That's just wrong!

Lemme break it down for ya:

[Bridge (slows down/music change)]
From Victoria's dainties
To boxers on [by??] Joe,
Your underwear's better
When it just doesn't show!
So----

(a primo)
Just take my advice
It would be so nice
It's easy and it's brief
Be better dressed
Than all the rest
When you keep them---
Underneath!

Hey there Linda,

Why, I remember when this was just a wee little quatrian, barely four lines long. Look at it now!

The singer has a distaste for shorts that show, and it shows, and she eloquently makes her case, and puts shorts in their place.

This started out 9 months ago as a trifle; what we have here is a blown up trifle...like the way I think of cotton candy.
Being clever is the extent of what can be achieved with this theme--but you are...and very!

This could easily be a big number in "Love American Style: the Musical" along with Calvin's recent firecracker tune...

Fun stuff...I await "Underwear, the Epic Poem" smile

Mike

Hi Linda,

I guess I'm curious.....I'm here !!
And....I smiled rather loudly, does that count.
I agree with you about keeping them underneath.
Yes, it's family friendly :-)
Good job.

ps...thanks Mile.

Linda...have a ***firecracker*** of a day

Hi Linda,

My first look. I like it. Can you turn the last verse into a chorus? To me your bridge sings easier:

From Victoria's panties
To boxers by Joe,
All underwear is better
When it doesn't show!
So----

I think this could be commercial. Rename it "Underneath" and repeat that as a last line in your chorus, emphatically.

I do believe there should be a sign on all mirrors "Would you let your child go out looking like this?". This particular style of dressing came out of jails and prisons as a macho thing. Seriously. The prisoner would wear his pants at half mast saying, "You can see my booty, but you ain't big or bad enough to take it". Now you have another worthless piece of trivia.


Have a goodun,

Saw a comic on the weekend that was such a hoot. It was the new stages of man....a parody of monkey to homo sapien.


It showed a young kid with his pants halfway down to his knees and the briefs on prominent display. Next to him was a midlle aged guy with pants at normal length. Finally, last in line was an old guy with his pants pulled up to just underneath his chest.


This one made me chuckle as well....and....though this is not really necessary, somehow I wanted to see you work in the "see I'm not wearing any underwear" lunacy of a few months ago, or guys going "commando" ....


Ciao

Hey Linda,

How can one AVOID stopping in for a look-see? It's like driving by a car accident, and not wanting to look, but not being able to NOT look?

As for the song itself, LOVE it...totally my sense of humor. I was wondering though, any way to incorporate the universal appeal -- and concurrent exposure-factor -- of giving someone a wedgie? Maybe "everyone should make a pledg-ie...never to perform a wedgie"...

Good luck!

Waal, Lady L, ya got TONS more replies here than I did on "Dancin' With No Pants"..so I guess it's WAY More "Family-Friendly"..heh!

Lemmie Mess Wit It & spice it up a wee bit:

There's EYE-WINKING Debate
ACROSS EVERY State:
"Are they Boxers or Briefs?"
I Don't Care MUCH
WHAT Your CALVIN KLEINS Touch
As Long as You Wear Them..UNDERNEATH~!

I hear some people say
Hey, Who CARES Anyways?
If you Wear Bikinis or Thong?
Wear those Boy-Shorts, Stretched-Lace,
Or Granny-StyleS..Anyplace
But IF I Can See THEM, They're Worn WRONG~

(br)
From Victoria's DAINTIES
To Boxers-by-Joe
Your Underwear's BETTER when It Doesn't SHOW...

Guys who Go In For "Housing"
I don't Find Real-Arousing
& Girls, Keep your Butterflies HID
You might THINK this Stuff's Bolder
But Soon You'll Be Older
(& Exposed-Underwear Leads to KIDS~)

{SPOKEN} You'll Find OUT:
{Sung}
Exposed-Underwear Leads-to-KIDS~

Yeah, maybe NOT as "Family-Friendly" as ya wanted, but it's LESS of a Naggin'-Mom kinda Conclusion..IMO. (& More of an Older-but-WISER Person's "Reflection"..)

Keep-or-Sweepit...& Thanks for a Chance to have Some Good Fun witcha!

Big Hugs,
Good Luck with a Fun One,

Hey Linda!

I don't remember if I saw the original version of this - but I like this one!

My only nit is in this line -
Quote
From Victoria's panties
I don't like the way that panties sounds! It needs a "classier" word. Maybe lacies, pretties or dainties? Panties just sounds like you're dropping a brick!

Hi Linda

Guess I want to weigh in on the underwear thing. Especially now, since I see in the shout box that you bought your kids drums...yeah for them!....must be you may have a boy showing his boxers off...I think you've done a great job with your song in conveying your feelings so the writing is good. My thinking is different, however on the underwear...some of it is so fun, colorful and all, I say hey, why not show it off?! As I was told recently from a mom, her 15 yr old daughter and her friends are appalled if women's nipples are apparent through clothing. They are buying heavily padded bras these days to make sure there is no showing...I regret now that I did not ask about the beach wear..... Afterall, just take a stroll down any American beach there's a lot More showing than underwear....sometimes a bit too much there too! Just my spin, of course. And no tomatoes either ! smile jm

Hi,

I think what you have is really cute. I agree with Charlann to use a softer word for Victoria's panties...like dainties or something. In my mind, this is almost a commercial for them, in a way! Fun stuff!

Hey Linda!

Is there some way that you can put in something about the "gangstas' from "the hood" who wear their jeans down to their knees, with a pair of boxers hanging on their hips, and a pair of briefs under the boxers just to cover the important parts?

Hey there!
Thank you, everybody!! I will answer you all ASAP.
Here I posted and then went AWOL. I've been touring around Seattle with my daughter, her friend from out-of-town, and the rest of the crew. No time online! Waaah!!
Anyway, after Weds. I should be semi-back to normal, until the next friend comes to visit the following week. smile

Thanks for understanding!

Hi! I'm back this morning... we'll see how long it lasts. smile I have a killer schedule this summer with lots of company and lots of time away from the computer. It's FUN, but not very productive "work"-wise.

So... to answer everyone... and thank you again for all your replies!...

Mike -- thank you for your kind and clever comments!
I doubt I'll go for an epic, though. LOL

Vikki-- I'm glad you still like it. I should try it out at an open mike and see what happens, huh?

Hi John!

BTW, thank you for the bump you gave my post, too. Much obliged!!
I like hearing "could be commercial." I'd love it if you turn out to be right!

Bridge into a chorus is an interesting idea. I don't have the music for the bridge recorded yet, but I slowed it down and gave it a more Broadway/Cabaret feel. (I could always use different words there instead) The last line of the verse, musically, sounds like a refrain or brief chorus. I only have the original one-verse version recorded so far, but you can hear how the melody goes here, if you want:

Thank you tons for the history lesson too. That's very interesting. I wonder if there's a way to get story that out to the public? I don't think it's common knowledge. I wonder who would pull their pants back up if they knew what it really meant. (Or who would go to half-mast... huh!)

Hi John! Thanks for chuckling! smile

I had to laugh myself when I read your reply. Seriously, I *ALMOST* put in this little couplet, but left it off:
And I don't even wanna know
If you're going in commando!

I couldn't figure out how or where to work it in. Maybe THAT could be the bridge, and I could use the bridge as chorus, as suggested. A work in progress!!
Thanks!!

smile Good one!
Wonder if I could work it in that I'll GIVE ya' a wedgie if I find your underwear out where I can yank it. LOL

Hiya Stan!
I enjoyed your write!! Thank you, you have some great ideas!

You're the first to mention "dainties," which I liked very much and edited in, so if it ever goes big, lemme know if you want some credit for that. smile

I loved the good point that "exposed underwear leads to kids"--LOL, so very very true!! There's a melody to this already that I'm working with, but I'll see if there's some way I can work in the idea to fit with the melody, somewhere. Made me smile! And there should be a family friendly way to innuendo it (after all, Shrek movies figured that out...).
Right now I'm thinking something along this concept:
You might wanna scoff
But it shouldn't be public
The only time you should see it
Is when it has come off!

That's not very good yet, but I'm still thinking. I don't know where I'll put it, either. Something will come to me!
Thanks, Stan!

Charlann -- Glad you liked it! And you're 100% right! I went with "dainties," which Stan also suggested.

And that's a good point above, too -- actually, my first verse was intended to be about that very thing, but maybe it's not good and clear enough yet? Let me know. Thanks!!

Ben -- Thanks! Glad you got my "brief" pun!

Steve B -- Good points!! Ohhhhh, hootchie whale tails... yeah... but seriously, to accept a slender model-size thong showing off, and not the more generously proportioned gal, is a bit of size discrimination, don't you think? Revealing dress is just that--revealing--whether the result is lovely or not is in the eye of the beholder. smile Euro speedos... oh, that would take a whole 'nother song, to go into swimsuit issues. LOL

Hi Joice! -- To each his own, and it's OK if your opinion differs. Good point on the padding thing, though...

Kristi -- Thanks for coming in! The word is now changed to "dainties." smile

Many thanks to all of you for helping me out with this one!
I'll be rewriting and re-recording at some point. It may be awhile... as you can tell from my absence, this summer's schedule is pretty rigorous over here. LOTS of fun stuff, but it's keeping me away from the computer more than I want to be. Ack!!

Linda

Linda,

Oh yeah...this is a cute on! I have just one piece of advice for the young ladies out there....If you're gonna wear white pants/shorts/skirts, etc...you really shouldn't wear a black thong underneath. I see it all the time.

This is a little off-subject, but there's something that a lot folks do here in the St. Louis area that I can't figure out: It's middle of winter, wind blowing hard, snow above your ankles, temperature hasn't seen 2 digits in a week....and there you are with your big ole heavy parka on, hood pulled tightly over your head, ear muffs under the parka hood, fur-lined gloves, a scarf around your neck.....AND YOU'RE WEARING SHORTS!!!!!

Okay...I'm done with my rant! And I still like your song!

Al

Hiya Al! Thanks for the visit!!
So true, so true, about the white pants. Ugh!

Funny about the shorts too. What's up with that? (Y'know, there's probably a good stand-up routine buried in here someplace...) What kills me is the fully-buttoned up parka mode, who bends over and there's this waistline skin! BRRRR!! Don't know about the rest of you, but I hate cold and I'll tuck SOMETHING in so that won't happen to me!! Ow! Esp. back in a Midwestern windchill. Talk about frostbite!

I thought it was just my boys who couldn't dress for the weather! If I don't hide their shorts in midwinter, they'll be on. If I don't hide their sweatshirts in the middle of summer, they'll be wearing them in 90 degrees/100% humidity and wondering why they're dying of heatstroke. grin

Oh--someone asked earlier if my kids prompted this song. Nope! Just the trend I see all around these days, of underwear worn as outerwear. smile

Anyway Al, thanks for the thumbs-up!

Linda

Can't wait to hear it!

Thanks, Charlann! Missed your reply when it came through.
It's on my list to re-record this fall, soon as I can.

Hey Linda,

Wow, what a difference a few months makes....

I actually posed the possibility of you incorporating a line "we'll all make a pledgie not to give a wedgie"....good lord....

Just as fun this time around though... smile

Obviously not well-"briefed",
Beth

LOL, Beth! grin
Don't worry, I know, my stuff ( fromideas to finished drafts) seems to have a half-life of its own too. smile Deteriorates in the hard drive before I know it!

I'm so happy school is back in... and I have ALL my six kids in school now (youngest in 1/2 day kindergarten)... which means I have TIME in the mornings to record and work on music again. Whoo-hoo! This summer was way overbooked. I got nothing musical done at all... no other writing either. I feel out of balance!

So--working on THIS song will provide some much-needed comic relief. LOL

Good for you Linda,

I've only got the two, and the younger one is now in FULL-DAY school -- yippee! Now if I just didn't have all these dumb doctor appointments, or it didn't take me 832 years to do the simplest of things CAUTIOUSLY lest I fall again, I might get some music cooking too!

Oh well, guess it's time to "fall" back on my mantra: "what I can, when I can"!

Ciao for now,
Beth

P.S. Can't believe I didn't throw out the silly Latin phrase -- "semper ubi sub ubi"...which translated means, "always where (WEAR) under where (wear)!" lol

Hi Linda,

Nice to meet you. I totally identify with what your lyric is saying and I wanted to take a little liberty with your last section just for fun.

It would be so nice
If you take my advice
It's easy and it's brief
Be better dressed
Than all the rest
Just keep SOMETHING ON (them---)
Underneath!

This is especially for all the would be Britneys out there.

Peace

Rachel

Hi Linda

Cute song. It seems others went the direction of gangstas and their short showing. Though when i read it i immeadiatly thought of the girls in southern california who look like their trying to get into a skin mag or something. Whichever you meant good job telling the story.

I also agree with whoever mentioned the not wearing any underwear thing. Who cares if Brittany or anyone else is briefless? doesn't change my position in life one iota.

Rant done good song can't wait to hear it when i get home.
Sincere Blessings
Derek

Hi Ria! Nice to meet you too! I'm more on the MP3 board than here lately, and was away all summer to boot.
LOVE your comment! So true! ~sigh~ yeah I'd rather see underwear than that.... someday I'll tell y'all about that little old scary man at my booksigning... <shudder> true story grin

Hi Derek!
Thanks a bunch! Hope you like it when you get to hear it. Let me know what you think!

Hi Linda, Well now I gotta get a picture uploaded too like everybodyelse! It is a fun song and a great social commentary and the only thing you left out of it was the absence of 'unmentionables' which I felt compelled to include. By the way that is sounding somewhat paradoxical to me at the moment.

I used to live on these boards during 2005 when I was not working because of just having had twin boys. They did not go down well with a travelling job. Since I went back to work (same Job), I have not had time for myself as you can imagine but the creative spirit still needs nurturing especially now that the boys are almost 3. I am much more of a composer than a lyricist and I had forgotton how much I love reading some of the lyrics on these boards, yours included.

A little scary old man huh! All ears whenever you're ready.

Peace,

Rachel

Linda,

Fun song.

It's about time someone addressed the "crack" epidemic in this country!

I heard this line - wish I could take credit for it: "a man doesn't care how many holes are in his underwear as long as two of them are big enough to get his legs through."

Thanks for the smile.

Don

HiDee Mz Linda~!

Always good to see you Back at Da Boards! (Almost said "You & Your Underwear"..Shame on me!) ;-)>

The Lyric's continuously Cute & Memorable, & the Big Smile I get when I hear "dainties" sung will certainly be Reward-Enough!

I'm off to the MP3 Board to hear it!

Good Luck with this Goodie. I don't think it'll change Brittany-Behaviour a bit..but one can Only Hope maybe it will!

Big Hugs,
Stan
