The Pants by Chase The Sun Band
Intriguing title, innit? A preview of the almighty lyrical punchline: “I wear the pants / Just as long as she lets me.” (Get it? It’s like she really wears the pants.) It is actually sort of funny in the context of Chase The Sun’s pig-shooting, barn-storming blues rock sound. If you envisage the kind of VB-slamming bogan that would really dig this music, you can see how any admission of women’s superiority is kind of a cute joke. Because bogans are stupid. Scratch that, all men are stupid. No need to vilify bogans in this case. (My brother told me I am a reverse sexist yesterday. He’s pretty clever. For a guy.)
