Is here, for all thoughts on trouser news, trousers in song, songs about trousers, songs mentioning trousers. And trousers.
To quote the goodies
"I always where my trousis
In Public Houses
Or else there's nowhere to put the change".
If this thread doesn't fulfil your trouser needs then feel free to start an Unofficial Trouser Thread.
As an opening gambit for trousers in song, may I offer...
Matthew Wilder's "Break My Stride(s)"
Don't Holly Johnson's "Americanos" wear blue jeans and chinos?
Must be a bit hard for them to walk about with two pairs of trousers on...
that'll be neil diamond stuck in my head
that'll be kenny stuck in my head
that'll be kenny stuck in my headΒ
What, "Do the Bump?"
I suppose it's very hard to visualise the Bay City Rollers without thinking of their taste in trousers...
i'll be doing the bump in my fancy pants
*and the puns are out of the traps!*
Bachman Turnup Overdrive
I'll be doing the bump in my fancy pantsΒ
Ah! looking for romance!
(I nearly said "just like they do in France" but that was the Bungalowheads...)
Ah, the trouser in song. Surely enough material there for a bank holiday themed show. Or at least for a lengthy academic paper at the University of Helsinki. I'm tempted to submit something myself on themes of loss and alienation in Donald Where's Your Troosers. Compare and contrast with Kevin Coyne's plaintive Mona, Where's My Trousers and the brutally confrontational Who Tore Your Trousers James, by Ivor Cutler.

Jeans On (David Dundas? rings a bell).
Posh trousers tomorrow, off to a Scottish Government do in Glasgow about offshore renewable energy sources.
Got to remember my bike clips; usual skinny black jeans don't need them......
*and the puns are out of the traps!*Β
I can't stand the drainpipes - Eruption...?
Having read all the trouser-related posts suddenly the kilt looks a far more attractive proposition.
Who'd like to start the kilt thread then? Official that is.

urge overkill - very sad trousers
trouser press - bonzo dog band
What is it with middleaged, overweight men with walking sticks who don' shorts the year round?
They're up to no good.

When I Kneed You - Leo Sayer. Okay, so it's part of the body but the trouser is usual involved.
Can we mention dungarees in this thread? Are they trousers? I've sought clarification from the Department for Trousers, Whitehall, London but the letter keeps coming back with 'Not known at this address' written on it.
I think the EU ruling was that dungarees are trousers but overalls are not. Though this ruling may be meaningless if a future government facilitates an opt-out.
Wither the Leiderhosen?
Wither the Leiderhosen?Β
Yes it does rather, doesn't it.
Hmm - "Leiderhosen" or approx "unfortunate trousers" (made-up word!) as opposed to "Lederhosen".
Should we see these as being like Wallace's "Wrong Trousers" or like Baldrick's trousers in "Blackadder"?
automated evil robot trousers or a "Pandora's Box" of all the evils in the world?
We should be told...
I had a gift for languages at school. No idea where it went.
I stand by Leiderhosen. A friend's band is bringing those trousers back to the forefront of rock. That is, the singer wears them.

In that case, "unfortunate trousers" fits quite well (says he who wore a fez last time he took to the stage....).
My Lederhosen stand all by themselves. Must pop into the the drycleaners.
What your friend wears on stage are obviously "Liederhosen" or "song trousers".
What your friend wears on stage are obviously "Liederhosen" or "song trousers".Β
How true!
Not to be confused with:
"Laderhosen" - electrical charger trousers?
"Luderhosen" - bimbo trousers?
"Loderhosen" - flickering, burning trousers, *flares* maybe?
now I never guessed how I would be spending the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall...
Well, how could I have forgotten "Lada-hosen"?
Meanwhile, I hear a trail by the battling titans suggesting that one of the two blokes never actually has any ideas. NOT SAYING WHO... (I laughed until I stopped)...
It's freezing outside but I still see postmen wearing shorts. What's all that about?

as an aging goth, I only have two words to say about trousers.
black.
Tight.
Although some friends described their trouser as...
tartan
bondage
which always concerned me. It was only one step to tartan trews which are more saturday morning at the golf course than friday night in the mosh pit.

"Deep down in his pockets / He finds 50p"
A quick trouser-clip there.
Perhaps we've rung the trousers dry.
what, wring out the old, wring in the new?
If that's the case, surely we'll soon be seeing some distress flares!

There must be some zip fly action.

Or Human Fly by the Cramps.
No mention yet for the Bonzos' "Do The Trouser Press".....
How do you spell Zipperdeedoodah?
Once at school I had to write a business letter in French. The scenario was that I was ordering some paper from a factory in Limoges. I lost considerable marks for calling my imaginary client M. Zipperdeedoodah.
As for Zips in Rock - Joy Zipper. And Sticky Fingers.
I had always presumed Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah to be a Southern U.S. song, so maybe, if Shenandoah the river is from round there, Zipperdeedoodah isn't that far off.
However, surely, where Limoges is involved, ZΓ©bulon (Zebedee) is closer to the mark...
There's a potential thread in here somewhere about the partnership of Appleford & Culham which Mr. Radley wants to join. Answering exam questions like that I always sign my advice "Mr. Didcot"...
What about Brian Eno's "501s Live"...?
