The Bobs - "The Tight Pants Tango" - NYC 6/13/08 video free download

The Bobs at the Metropolitan Room in Manhattan on June 13, 2008.

This one is a hilarious take on what it's like to reach for a ringing cell-phone trapped in the pocket of extremely tight pants.

It's made all the more hilarious when Dan Schumacher opens the song with the leitmotif from Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" (mentioned in the song).

Again, since the sound quality's so bad, I've included the lyrics below:

I know someone is calling, I recognize the tone

I hear my baby wailing, but I can't reach my phone

My ringtone's Herbie's "Rockit'" My phone is in my pocket...

I'm wearing stovepipe denim, my phone is buried in 'em

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

The Tight Pants Tango - a most awkward thing

as I squirm and hop around and wiggle

trying to answer that pesky ring

The tight pants tango - it's not like ballet

not even Argentines or Gregory Hines

could make me move this way

I'm at the the Lincoln Tunnel, I'm at the Golden Gate

I'm coining at the tollbooth, I'm running really late

I know just where the phone is, I know how long the tone is

midway through spastic leaping, there goes the voicemail beeping

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

The Tight Pants Tango - a most awkward thing

as I squirm and hop around and wiggle

trying to answer that stupid ring

The tight pants tango - it's not like ballet

not even Argentines or Balanchines

could make me move this way

Hey Herbie, watch me gyrate

Now that I'm set to "vibrate"

The Tight Pants Tango - a most awkward dance

as I squirm and hop around and wiggle

trying to get my hand in my pants

The tight pants tango - la la la, Olé

not even Argentines or Ben Vereen

could make me move this way
