An oddball spoken word song, where the vocalist had a pretty snide, Dennis Leary type voice. I think one of the verses was about taking your socks off first when you undress, and another was maybe about crazy people wearing their underwear on the outside.
That’s all I’ve got. It got enough airplay on the local alt rock stations that I remember it, sort of, but wasn’t what I’d call a hit.
