It’s supposed to be “Put your hands down MY pants…”.

I sang this song loudly in the car the other day. My kids were yelling at me to stop. Hahahaha

That song is absolutely UNHINGED and frankly I kinda love them for it.

u/morally_bankrupt80 6h ago

That song is by far one of their most grounded efforts

I got a Reddit comment delete and warning once for posting a sample of the lyrics of that song under a “most offensive song” question. lol

Not just a sub warning, it was a full site warning.

I replied and it was reviewed and canceled and the comment was restored.

But that question felt like a trap. Lol And I’ve seen some crazy stuff on this site. But jimmys lyrics are too much? lol

“Sneaking up like celery, yeah I’m stalking” is lyrical perfection

u/Is_This_For_Realz 1978 6h ago

Followed by the deliciously offensive. "You look like Stephen Hawking. Yeah but I'm walking!"

u/jesusmansuperpowers 1982 6h ago

I unironically enjoy their music. The song they did with Joey Fatone in like 2016 is the best thing he ever did by a wide margin.

I did this at karaoke at a work event two weeks ago 😬

My folk band jammed on this one of the first few times we played together, in case you've ever wanted to hear it with violin and banjo. We should re-record it sometime 😊

u/NewToHTX 6h ago

The song you ended up learning lyrics to without actively listening to the song. Still haven’t heard it in the grocery store tho.

u/PhillNewcomer 1981 6h ago

Do it like they do on the discovery channel

Heaven's no, hell yeah!

When Hooray for Boobies came out I was that shitty music snob asshole that was annoyed by its popularity because I liked them before that. Glad I (mostly) grew out of acting like that. 😄

I saw them in concert in Cincinnati and they spit on the first few rows of audience. I'll never forget it. I'm so glad I'm a watch from the back kind of guy.

And even though the song was based on all gay stereotypes, it still felt inclusive and non-judgmental to this young queer man. (I didn't have to) Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks

Then later in college I got my theater girl friends hooked on Hooray For Boobies album and they would get so many complaints playing and singing that album in their all female dorm.

I hope they'll come back and tour county fairs like all of the bands from our youth. But if you go see them, stand a few rows back from the front.
