2. Tight Pants (6:01) NOTES ON THIS VINYL RECORD:
- This is one of my favourite LPs. It comes from the THP stable of Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison, who also produced THP Orchetra along with the various other offshoots, e.g. Sticky Fingers, Duncan Sisters, Grand Tour, etc.
This LP is distinctive by the harmonica playing of producer Pedersen, but meanwhile identifiable as a THP production (listen to the drums). It is very varied, from the sleaze of "On our way", to the Costandinos-esque near 12 minute epic "Love is".
The song "Tight pants" is not often mentioned, but it is this song that brought me to this LP! Shunned by the disco purists because it is undeniably cheesy, but I love the tune, the tongue-in-cheek delivery and the lyrics are very clever. Where else but in disco could you find lyrics like these?
"Tight pants, you're dynamite tonight in tight pants
You're looking bright, alright
You starved to death and held your breath
So you could dance in tight pants!"
