Can’t Find My Drinkin’ Pants
So, you know that Lady GaGa song, Just Dance, the one that the radio stations play altogether too much? Yeah, it’s Dawson’s favorite song as of late.
Every time we’re in the car that song seems to magically appear on the radio, and my little guy dances and sings along from the backseat. I admit that after hearing it for the 5,670,000th time, it is a catchy tune.
Yesterday I picked up the Doodlebug from preschool and on the way home that song came on. I wasn’t really paying attention to the lyrics, but then Dawson asked me, “Mommy, what are drinkin’ pants?”
“What?”
“On the song, Mommy. She says she can’t find her drinkin’ pants!”
Oh, dear heavens, I nearly crashed the car.
I realized that Dawson was asking about the opening lyrics of the song, which are (according to lyrics.com):
I‘ve had a little bit too much, much
All of the people start to rush, start to rush by
A dizzy twisted dance, can’t find my drink, oh man
Where are my keys? I lost my phone, phone
But my funny little boy thinks that Lady GaGa is singing:
A dizzy twisted dance, can’t find my drinkin’ pants…
And you know what? The more I hear this damn song, it really does sound like she’s singing (or should be singing) “drinkin’ pants” and that’s probably because ‘dance’ rhymes more with ‘pants’ than “oh man”….
So, now we sing the wrong lyrics on purpose. Because it’s hilarious. And because I think everybody should go out and buy themselves a good pair of drinking pants, don’t you?
