Anyone is welcome to perform these songs in public without royalties; however, if any of them are recorded or published for profit, the writers/composers expect the usual royalties.

The Challenge: The 'song subject' for the great Easter Bonnet(?) Special Challenge was this news story -- DATELINE: GRETNA, Louisiana -- The debate was serious. The vote unanimous. The Gretna City Council says it's now legal in Louisiana to throw women's underwear from Carnival floats. "So we're pro-panties -- it's on the record," joked one city councilman. However, it is still illegal to throw anything that is ". . . lewd or lascivious and includes, but is not limited to, condoms and inflatable paraphernalia." The panty-throwing issue was pushed by protesting parade organizers. "If panties are . . . vulgar, why are they exposed in every department store in the nation?" asked one of the captains of the Elks Krewe of Gretna. Another Mardi Gras group captain firmly agreed. "Panties have been a legitimate throw for Mardi Gras for years," he said.!

Hyp's Comments: This is hardly the most politically correct but then again I, (and my partner), are heartily glad that sexy underwear is very much at the fore in the UK at present. With companies like agent provocateur designing for Marks and Spencer and other high street mainstays, life looks pretty good at present. In the meantime apologies for the somewhat schoolboy lyrics. -- Hyp

Oh take your long johns off tonight
Oh hide your jimjams out of sight
Oh you got to remember less is more
Your skimpy undies bring your partner to the floor
Down of his knees they bring your partner to the floor

I was just a skinny lad never knew no good from bad
But I knew my taste before I touched puberty
Given a choice of bloomers or briefs
I'd scream get a G-string on good grief
Make those suspenders bring your partner to the floor

Oh, (I know), slip your corset on tonight – (please!)
Oh, (yeah-yeah), leave almost nothing out of sight- (dig it)
Oh you've go to remember less is more
Your skimpy undies bring your partner to the floor
Down of his knees they bring your partner to the floor

I am over thirty now, met a few girls then and now
I can advise you ladies the new man has gone west
With delight you are an equal
But we got to see the sequel
It's the lacy ones that really will impress

Oh, (I know), if it's silk and it is tight
Oh, (yeah-yeah), and it's seen by candlelight
Oh, (yeah-yeah), he will do anything you want
Who really wins when he is begging on the floor?
Who really wins when he is begging you for more?
