Fun Jingle... Does anyone ever refer to trousers as slacks anymore, really? And a cutting comment on the Clothes Industry to boot.

Puppy Skin Pants, made in our sweatshop so you don't have to!

My good friend who played mandolin in my old bluegrass band was always making up little jingles like this, my favorite of which will always be "will there be fishsticks in heaven?"

Also, you have brought back memories of an MST3k classic, "Hike Up Your Pants," which I can't have heard since the 90s. So thanks for that. No pants are higher than mine!

Oh the joy. I appreciate that you didn't choose to rhyme with the words 'Farlington' or 'Slacks', was that deliberate or are you just slacking off? So where's the Amazon affiliate link then?

Stop it now

You go ahead and laugh, while I'm over here patching my last pair of puppy skin slacks. Probably have to make them into puppy skin cutoffs.

Definitely better out than in 😁

...i heard they're still using kitten skins though 😕

thank you for the infliction! even a jingle from you is such a delight. what a lighthearted, silly little ditty about something that's kind of fucked up; honestly, that's really REALLY hitting at the moment as the world we've always known slips further and further away. i'm finding, perhaps unsurprisingly, that i appreciate dark humor now more than ever, and yours is certainly no exception to the rule.

anyway, thank you so much for your kind comment on "ash in the air." those words mean a lot coming from you! i've figured out that doing a vocal take and a guitar take is really helpful for making sure i can focus more on the emotion of things when i sing, especially when the songs are so new and the guitar part is essentially impossible to play while singing at the moment. 😜

This makes me laugh, partially it's such a different type of joke from you and because I did some jingles this FAWM, too. "barely even true" Hahaha

Haha 😆 Have you got it out of your system now?! I'm sure the board at Farlington Slacks will wholly endorse this message!

I think I've made the comparison before, but your songs of this ilk feel so quintessentially British to me, like something from Jasper Carrott or Eric Idle. This made me grin like a maniac.

I love a good jingle. I really appreciate you not posting the full lyric as I audibly guffawed at the second verse. I'll take a container full.

Bring it on, Brother!!!! OMG...this is hysterical!!!! I'm sold. Love the upright, the levity in your instrumentation, your vocal doodles, your insanely funny lyrics and deadpan delivery. Farlington better be takin' good care of you!

My first thought was why does he? Oh it’s the pants! Do you have a sponsor on your back! Glad to see they are coming into the new world, only some slave labour. Entertaining as ever!

I was going to leave a comment, but I've been overcome by an irrational desire to go to my haberdasher. Later dude.

This is such an earworm, and I love the subversive cheeky tone to it. Hope this cleared out your songwriting pipes!
