Songs About Clothes?

It’s not specifically about clothes, but Body Count’s “Cop Killer” begins with a description of Ice-T’s fashion sense:

I got my black shirt on
I got my black gloves on
I got my ski mask on
This shit’s been too long…

Well for one thing, now we can include Dan & Dan’s “Requiem for a Wardrobe” from 2008! :slight_smile:

We can also add this song by Leningrad about Louboutin shoes.

Would you count “Blue Velvet” by Bobby Vinton?

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, “Thrift Shop”. Gator shoes, leopard mink, moccasins, velour jumpsuit, house slippers, flannel zebra jammies, etc.

“You Can Keep Your Hat On” Randy Newman

Lorrie Morgan–“Something in Red”

And I got patches on the patches
On my old blue jeans
Well they used to be blue
When they used to be new
When they used to be clean

Ain’t No Fun (Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire) AC/DC

You said “red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And
” twice.

Surprised this hasn’t come up yet…

cause that’s how it’s sung!

New songs have been written since 2007…
Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood
“Cause it’s too co-oo-ooo-old, For you here
so let me ho-oo-ooo-old, both your hands in the holes of my sweater”

Didn’t remember that. I saw a production (in I want to say – 1985?), but I learned it first as a half-hour cantata in 1973.

Rodeo champ and country singer Chris LeDoux had a couple of songs about old cowboy hats, including “This Cowboy’s Hat” (1991) and “Under This Old Hat” (1993).

All Around My Hat
Venus in Blue Jeans

Always in style, soft to the touch
I wear Italian Shoes.

Jenny Lewis - Rabbit Fur Coat

Negro Problem, “Lime Green Sweater.”

Pink Floyd, Arnold Layne

Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine washing line
They suit him fine
