There's not an awful lot you can say about a song like this, except that it was written in the studio during the long and painful process of recording the "All Singing, No Dancing" CD. And yes, it's true. It was that hot in the studio that we sang most of that record in our underdurps. This tradition has carried forward through pretty much every recording we've done since, including live to air radio broadcasts, where it tends to raise a few eyebrows. Due to its catchy, Sesame-Street-like chorus, bawdy lyrics and infectious energy it's become a bit of a live favourite - we never really intended to record it but eventually caved to you guys' demands and ended up having a hoot of a time tracking it in the studio!

Singing in my Underpants: Lyrics

Well it's far too God-damned hot in this studio
And I ain't got nowhere cooler for me to go
And the sweat is rollin' down my back
And it's pooling in my crack
Hope those squelchy sounds don't make it to the radio

Now I've known these boysa around me for many years
And between us all we've sunk a lot of beers
But my situation's getting hairy
So I might do something scary
Gonna drop my dacks and hope it doesn't end in tears

That's why I'm
Singin' in my underpants
Singin' in my underpants
Singin' in my underpants
And don't it feel good

Now Robbie likes boxer shorts, but they're not for me
'Cause my boys get too excited when they're swingin' free
And the thought of static shock
Anywhere near my... jock?
Is a most unpleasant liability

That's why I'm
Singin' in my underpants
Singin' in my underpants
Singin' in my underpants
And don't it feel good

The Colonel likes his freedom through and through
So 'commando' is the style that he's into
Give him jocks and he'll say "Shove it
I'm out there and I love it!
And there ain't no way I'm gonna change for you!"

I guess he's
Singin' in no underpants
Singin' in no underpants
Swingin' in no underpants
But he says it feels good

Now Roy gets all his undies customised
When he takes them off, you're in for a big surprise
'Cause I swear it ain't no bull:
"I got fourteen testicles
And that's why you never hear me singin' high!"

That's why he's
Singin' in his underpants
Singin' in his underpants
It's getting crowded in his underpants
But he says it feels good

One more time, don't you wish you were
Singin' in your underpants
Singin' in your underpants
Singin' in your underpants
And don't it feel good
