“Tight briefs on your sexy butt / White fabric surrounding your nuts.” Oh, underwear! It’s kind of a big deal if you are a gay male. Part of the experience! Sure, it’s a stereotype, but there is something about the underwear aisle and the packaging that ‘hits different’ when you’re not straight. Pop-punk and queercore band Pansy Division sing about undies and the hot guys wearing them in their exuberant song, “Groovy Underwear”. In the horny, titillating first verse, Jon Ginoli continues singing, “Sweat pants clinging to your crevice / Boxer shorts for easy access.” Yes to both! Grey sweatpants are sexy AF. As far as type of underwear, different gays and different guys will have their preferences . Anyways, “Groovy Underwear” is the second track from Pansy Division’s 1994 album, Deflowered.

“Jockstrap showing off your cheeks / Moving in for a closer peek /… Pulled down around your ankles / I’ll make you spill out like an oil tanker.” Holy shit ! On “Groovy Underwear,” the guitars roar. The harmonic progression is simple, which is characteristic of punk and pop-punk music. The melody is tuneful, which is also on-brand for pop-punk. Ginoli sings well, delivering easy-going vocals that bring the gay, boy-loving lyrics to life. The innuendo is pronounced, and who would have it any other way?! “What fine cakes, what fine batter.” Sometimes, it goes beyond the innuendo directly into S-E-X. “Stretched tight, so hot / I’ve cum, I’ve shot” is a prime example. In the chorus, Pansy Division sums it up to a tee. It all comes down to “your groovy underwear.” Well, rather, what’s inside… “Groovy Underwear” is an unforgettable, gay pop-punk classic.
