Those of you who are new to More Cowbell might have missed The Undie Chronicles. The regular posse here knows: When the Undie-verse speaks, we will always listen.
Who’d have ever thought we’d get into the TWENTIES in this series? Not me. I had no idea when this began that there were so many hilarious things to talk about under them clothes.
You have NEVER heard undies like this before, I promise you.
Julie Glover, creative writer extraordinaire has made us an Undies Jingle, titled Just Another Pair of Undies, that I guarantee to knock your pants off (if you know what I mean).
If you want to sing along, here is her magnificent video:
If you’d prefer to just hum the words (to the tune of Manic Monday by The Bangles), we’ve got those too.
Another Pair of Undies
To the tune of “Manic Monday”
Time to get ready
And I’m staring in my underwear drawer
Wishing that I’d bought a size bigger
At the lingerie store.
Briefs, bikinis, hipsters, boy shorts,
Hi-cut, and thongs.
Yeah, whatever I choose
They ain’t gonna right all the wrongs.
It’s just another pair of undies
that nobody else sees.
Certainly not fundies.
So who am I trying to please?
It’s just another pair of undies.
Too late to do laundry
and I ain’t got time to run by the store.
Yeah, I got to get going;
I can’t stall anymore.
But it takes me so long
just to figure out what I’m gonna wear.
Still, I can’t go commando
so I close my eyes and grab the first pair.
It’s just another pair of undies
that nobody else sees.
Certainly not fundies.
Might as well wear these;
It’s just another pair of undies.
All of the nights,
Why did my hubby have to pick
tonight to get down?
When I’m wearing the panties
that look like Granny’s
hand-me-downs?
He starts out in his bedroom voice
Then yells, “Good heavens, woman,
What are those?!!”
What can I say?
It’s just another pair of undies,
that only my hubby sees.
But no, not fundies.
Might as well wear these.
It’s just another pair of undies.
Who am I trying to please?
They won’t end up on Jenny’s.
It’s just another pair of undies…
Her explanation when I asked her what inspired her?
We have that effect on people.
I hope y’all bombard Julie in the comments with kudos on this amazing Undies Unplugged Escapade. She ROCKED it.
Do you love this song as much as I do? What other words did you think of to expand on her original? What’s your favorite Undies Song? Enquiring minds always love Monday laughter here at More Cowbell!

Laughing hard, because I had a forced commando experience recently. I don’t do panties under pantyhose, because it seems redundant – especially when you’re trying to achieve a smooth look under off-white crepe trousers. The pair of pantyhose had to be ancient, because as the day progressed, their integrity digressed. I kept trying to tug at them inconspicuously, but to my chagrin, they were soon gathered at the top of my leg instead of doing their job. I was out for the day with hubby and tried to convince him we needed to get to a store pronto, but he thought it was funny. “Go commando,” he commanded. Hours later when we got home, I can’t tell you how fast those trousers came off and I climbed into a pair of cotton granny briefs for comfort!

Oh my goodness! How uncomfortable was THAT one. I hate going commando. Hate. It. And I’m sure you were wearing a skirt, right?

Nope white crepe trousers. Thank goodness they were lined! With the skirt I might have figured out a way to jerry-rig the pantyhose, but with the pants, I couldn’t have unsightly pantyhose knots.

Ha! Forced commando is not an experience one wishes to have. I once took a trip with my husband to Las Vegas and somehow forgot to pack underwear. My husband might have taken a different approach to that “problem,” but I immediately located a clothing store and remedied the issue. LOL.
