Topic: DUDES in WHITE SATIN

I know, "Yuck!" right?

During the 70's many perfromers thought that dressing in tight, white satin pants was fashionable. The BeeGees did it, and many others. For whatever reason, it prompted these revised lyrics to the tune of "Knights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues.

DUDES in WHITE SATIN

Dudes in white satin, a seventies trend,
Eyes are averted, from buddy's rear end.

Why would they do that? What purposed was served?
The sight was revolting, and had me unnerved.

CHORUS:    Say it can't be …
        Oh-oh-oh say it can't be.

Too tight for comfort, too much to behold,
Too little unseen, too gross to be told.

Those days are over, don't see it no more,
Couldn't be happier, it's finally o'er.

CHORUS:    Say it can't be …
        Oh-oh-oh say it can't be.

I had originally titled this "Dudes in White Wedgies" but that's just too disgusting.

Ha!  Nicely.

We can beat them just for one day
We can be heroes just for one day

The lyrics remind me of an old 60s comedy band. The Baron Knights

Sends a shudder through my spine, remembering bands like The Sweet and Gary Glitter. What were we thinking back then? smile

I agree with Beestie - WTF  were we thinking ?  No wonder some one came up with LSD ! smile

i never wore satin but my flares were quite revealing, but i still managed 4 kids. and i needed them tight when i performed this song, still do sometimes.

great pastiche jim, you have a wicked mind, reminds me of someone....me?

I just read the "pitch" for the one-piece suit you posted, and I don't think I've seen anything more revolting ... way too much imagery!

Very good. I steered clear of the satin Huggins and went for the mod look for awhile. Then on to hippy land.
