Aw, c’mon, you’re forgetting what has to be one of the stupidest–and thus, funniest–“pants” title songs ever:

“Hurt Me (But the Pants Stay On)” by Samantha Fox.

I’ve never actually _heard_ the song; about 10 years ago, I was watching a TV show that mentioned some of Fox’s songs and showed clips of the video to THAT thing. I had a hard laugh, that became a long hard laugh when I actually found the tape at the music store.

Well, considering others are posting songs with “types of pants”, rather than the actual word “pants”:

Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On, Mel McDaniels

Tight Fittin’ Jeans, Conway Twitty

And, to go along with the intent of cody’s OP: “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Pants?”

MST3K- Joel and the bots did a song lauding Pants. I think it was during a Hecules-type movie, where the buff hero showed us way too much.

Some comedy troupe, The State I think, made a phony commercial for a show called “Pants” that parodied “Cats.” I just remember giant pants with faces sticking out of the zippers…

Oh, come on! Who can forget the Beatles’ classic “All you need is pants”

All you need is pants  
All you need is pants  
All you need is pants, pants  
Pants is all you need…

Or how about “Hey, Pants”

Hey, pants  
Don’t make it bad…

My favorite part is when they go “Hey panty, panty panty panty panty weoow, yeah!”

Keep on rockin’ in the free Pants

Got a Devlish haircut in my Pants
