Many are called, but few are pants. Winning pants are, of course, unchanged.

And so it begins...

  • Breadmaster - My girl, my girl, don't you lie to me!
    Tell me where did you sleep last night?
    In the pants, in the pants, where the sun don't ever shine,
    I would shiver the whole night through.
  • Darren - Some C64 games: Pantsmania, Pants on the Run, Auf Wiedersehen Pants, Flimbo's Pants, Firepants, Pantslord, Demon Pants, Pants on a Spring, Elektrapants, Shadowpants, Enigma Pants, Pantsball, and not forgetting Pants. I could go on.
  • Ibid - [Darren] How could you leave out Parapants?
  • Darren - [Ibid] True. And Armapants and Attack of the Mutant Pants. Actually, Minter games are a bit of a treasure trove. Pants in Space, Pantsipital, Pants Bovver, Metagalactic Pants - Pants at the Edge of Time, Revenge of the Mutant Pants, Mama Pants, Pantsrunner, Pantsalyx, Hellpants, Laser Pants, and Pantrix. Were you at any of the BITLive events at all, by any chance?
  • Breadmaster - [Darren] Splendid stuff, recalling many happy hours in front of my old Amiga A500 as well, wasting the hours on Rainbow Pants, Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Pants and, of course, Escape From the Planet of the Robot Pants.
  • Darren - I just realised I forgot Jet Pants Willy.
  • Ibid - Ah, Amiga! (we had an A1000 once the C64 finally died). So I'd add Sensible World of Pants to the list.
  • Darren - You let a C64 die? Inhuman.
  • Breadmaster - In memory of the late and always great -
    I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry,
    And I showed the clouds how to cover a clear blue sky.
    And the pants I shed for that woman are gonna flood you, big river,
    And I'm gonna sit right here until I die.
  • Wol - That made me think of:
    On a tree by a river a little tom-tit
    Sang "pants, titpants, titpants!"
    And I said to him, "Dicky-bird, why do you sit
    Singing 'pants, titpants, titpants'?"
    "Is it weakness of intellect, birdie?" I cried,
    "Or a rather tough worm in your little inside?"
    With a shake of his poor little head, he replied,
    "Oh, pants, titpants, titpants!"
  • Kim - That makes me think of:
    The Mikapants
    The Pantoliers
    Trial by Pants
    Iopanthe
    and, of course,
    The Pirates of Penpanze
  • Kim - A wand'ring minstrel I, a thing of thread and pants
  • Darren - Thunder, rain and lightning,
    Danger, pants are rising,
    Clamor, sirens wailing,
    It's such a bad sign.

    Shadows of dark creatures'
    Steel pants floating in the air
    People run for shelter.
    What's gonna happen to us?

    All the pants we take,
    All the pants we make,
    All the pants at stake.
    I see the pants are for everyone -
    Who are pants? What can pants do?

    You and I are same in a way that
    We have our own pants that we won't change.
    Yours is filled with evil and mine is not,
    There is no way I can lose!

    Can't hold on much longer,
    But I will never let go.
    I know it's a one-way track.
    Tell me now how long this will last
    I'm not gonna think this way,
    Nor will I count on others.
    Close my eyes and feel the pants,
    Now I see what I've gotta do:
    Open your pants, it's gonna be alright.

    --Pants Floyd, "Wish You Were Pants"
  • Bob the dog - Iain Duncan Pants.
  • Ibid - Michael Howard has something of the Pants about him
  • barbacoa - I'm sure that was a song somewhere down the line..
  • Zooological Keeper - Speaking of songs - Somewhere Over The Pants, Follow The Yellow Brick Pants and If I Only Had Some Pants - just some of the great numbers from The Pants of Oz.
  • Zooological Keeper - All you need is pants
  • Zooological Keeper - If you want to know who we are....we are gentlemen of Japants.....
  • Riff - Pants... they're a gas
    Grab those pants with both hands
    And make a splash
    Pants... so they say
    Are the root of all evil today
    And if you ask for some pants
    There's a chance that they're giving some away...

    ...Another classic Pants Floyd tune.
  • Angus Prune -

  • Zooological Keeper - There's the movie, the Incredible Shrinking Pants and its rather less successful spin-off, The Incredible Staying-Exactly-The-Same-Size Pants which was a disastrous movie, but the idea was bought by Marvel Comics and following some character development resurfaced as The Incredible Hulk series.

  • Z.K. - wouldn't that be and cover them with pants?
  • Z.K. - From Somewhere In Pants:

    I'm all out of pants

    Crazy Pants

    Puppy Pants

    Don't Give Up On Pants

    I'm Not In Pants

    Could It Be I'm Falling In Pants

    and Without Pants

    to name but a few...
  • Z.K. - Then there was his sister's hit, Paper Pants ;)
  • Z.K. - Mark Owen had a minor hit with his Four Minute Pants...
  • Angus Prune - the Pantszone hits:
    Love Me For Pants
    A Picture of Pants
    Father and Pants (pinched from Cat Pants)
    And my personal favourite...
    The Key to My Pants
    I've just realised how sad I am...
  • Zooological Keeper - Would also like to point out that Love Me For Pants was originally a hit for the Osmonds. Another pinched cover version (though not from the Osmonds) was of course So Take A Look At Me Pants, by Westpants and Mariah "My Girdle's Too Tight" Carey. Then there was 5ive's original hit, When The Pants Go Out.
  • Angus Prune - 5ive's original hit was Slam Dunk da Pants. Then you have the short-lived 911's PantsShakin'. Of course, you could chose any song by Pants and Dec
  • Zooological Keeper - *groans* By original I meant that, unlike Love Me For Pants, When The Pants Go Out wasn't a cover. But well remembered. They tried a ballad once didn't they? Until The Pants Are Through I think it was called. Then there was the very early Steps hit, The Last Thing On My Pants.
  • Zooological Keeper - Back to the Osmonds! We have all enjoyed Morningside of the Pants, It Takes Pants, Deep Pants, Go Away Little Pants, Tears On My Pants, You've Got A Friend In Pants, Seasons of Pants, and Soldier of Pants. Then there were the Beatles of course, who came along much earlier with Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Pants. I particularly enjoyed Dancing in the Pants by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Light My Pants by Will Young (we don't ask why), Pants Can Only Get Better by D-Ream, and the Christmas List Song by the Pretenders - Don't Get Me Pants.
  • Z.K. - Ah, the intellectual power. I amaze even myself sometimes. :)
  • Angus Prune - Didn't the Osmonds also do Crazy Pants? Or am I thinking of someone else?
  • Zooological Keeper - No, they did. See above (from the Somewhere in Pants album)
  • Zooological Keeper - (I do know what I'm talking about, really!)
  • Zooological Keeper - Not to be confused with Crazy in Pants, of course - that was a song by Lingeré (sic) Knowles.
  • Angus Prune - Wasn't there a song done by Brandy and some other chick called The Pants Are Mine?
  • Zooological Keeper - [AP] Indeed, her name was Monica. I believe it came out the same year as How Do I Live Without Pants by Leann Rimes.
  • Angus Prune - That was the theme tune to Con Pants wasn't it? By the way, ever get the feeling everyone else has lost interest?
  • Zooological Keeper - Just slightly, although it means we can be as stupid as possible. Hoorah!
  • Zooological Keeper - The Australian Equine soap opera, Neighpants.
  • Angus Prune - Then there's the actual soap Pantsenders. What? That's not what it's called? Oh well, my mistake!
  • Zooological Keeper - Coronation Pants - the new vegetarian special at your local Harvester.
  • Riff - Haven't seen that one, but I'm a fan of Pants Behaving Badly
  • Zooological Keeper - Ah, a British classic! Never in the same league as Fawlty Pants, but definitely worth catching.
  • Breadmaster - None of them stands up to One Foot in the Pants, you know.
  • Zooological Keeper - None? Not Hale and Pants? Dad's Pants? Only Pants and Horses? Whose Pants Are They, Anyway? Four Pants and a Funeral? The Rise and Fall of Reginald's Pants? None of them???
  • Breadmaster - Well, I might be prepared to admit Hancock's Half-Pants, but that's the only concession I'll make.
  • Zooological Keeper - Fair enough.
  • Ibid - Financial Times - No Pants, no comment.
  • Angus Prune - Steptoe and Pants
