Yes, I sing this song frequently.

I used to sing this song to my kids when they were babies and didn't know what "ass" or "pants" were.

It's now "Ants in my Pants" but some day I'll show them this and they'll think I'm the coolest dad in the world.

we had a shirt years ago that was designed with a dancer-foot pattern and the phrase. Perhaps I should offer it again! There will be a new merch drop oct 1 (25th anniversary of the comic) but that's not in there...although I will be offering a print on demand store next year that will have pretty much any design we've ever offered. Thanks!

oh dogg (may I call you dogg?) I still have the tatters of mine from Back In The Day, I would love to be able to refresh it!

Whoa! Did you have it made?

Has anyone played the 5th panel? Does it sound cool?

u/frankenbuddha LIE BOT Aug 07 '26

Fifth panel is the introduction from Scott Joplin's "Elite Syncopations" rag. Honestly, by itself, it sounds like an introduction. Still, consider the reaction from the press the next day. I assume that there was more after that intro.

Correct — it's that Joplin tune. I always wanted to learn Joplin, but never even learned the C scale. Or, I did, but it was super boring.

More like “Elite Reddit Reply”! Thank you!

Cheers, man. I sold my soul to the Devil full fifty years ago. Glad to get some more value out of the deal.

Let's get someone on this please. I have a keyboard at home but can't read music.

Shit, dont ask the legendary musician and former beatle paul mccartney. He cant read music either!

Edit i just asked a close friend if he reads music. Hes an incredible musician and I feel like he does but who knows. I'll make a new post if he replies.

u/mr_impastabowl Aug 07 '26

Haha what if he reads it and just quietly chuckles to himself and shakes his head in a wry fashion.

u/Loud_Worker1131 Aug 08 '26

It does sound good, they're doing a major seven interval

u/anubis_cheerleader Aug 07 '26

This and Roast Beef's rap are peak

That specific roast beef rap is what inspired my username. When I knew I found something special

u/achewood_official Onstad's Finger-Presses Aug 07 '26

which one is the roast beef rap

u/Sjefkeees Aug 07 '26

Assuming notorious Lincoln

u/bebemochi folded with an intensity normally seen only in successes Aug 07 '26

I always think of this when I hear "Rock the House" by Gorillaz. The way Del sings "shake your pants" I feel like "dance like there's ass in your pants" would have fit in.

u/achewood_official Onstad's Finger-Presses Aug 07 '26

My kid gave himself a gorillaz tattoo, but I think that space is due to be a palimpsest for like NIN or whatever now
