The Lyrics
Like the OS, this parody is about freedom. If you are not familiar with the term "going commando", it is when a guy dresses without putting on underwear. How free can you get?On one Seinfeld episode, Kramer was appalled at first by the suggestion that he go without underwear. He said that, "His boys need a home!". After trying it out, he was elated and, from his descriptions of it, Jerry and Elaine were the ones that were appalled.There is another Amiright parody to this same OS with the title "Commando" but, it is about real commandos.DKTOS? There is a copy here temporarily: http://www.putfile.com/ricloose
Have you ever gone "Commando"?
Have you ever just gone wild and left your underwear at home?
There is danger in "Commando"
For a zipper could catch on to something tender, make you bawl
It could ruin you for months
But, isn't freedom worth the risk of losing all?
Lose the boxers, go "Commando"
Take your fruit out of their looms, you're OK without BVDs
Trash the briefs and go "Commando"
Nothing now to crush your grapes
Into a pulp and make you whine
And there's no "fly-fishing" done
At urinals when sets of garments don't align
I am flopping in the air tonight
To left and right. "Commando"
There is little now confining me
Ah, liberty! "Commando"
Though, at first, I thought it might be weird,
There's no regret
It's a feeling you won't find again
I tell you men, "Commando"
It's a feeling you won't find again
Come on, be men, "Commando"
I'm a rebel, I'm "Commando"
My girlfriend says it's nice to have it now so close at hand
But I can't control "Old Brando"
There are times my girl will scowl at me and flash the evil eye
She can see too easily it pleases me
Each time a pretty girl walks by
I'm forgoing underwear that's tight
That wedge, that bite, "Commando"
There is nothing now beneath these jeans
But Frank and beans, "Commando"
Oh, I'm never wearing skivvies now
There's no regret
Sometimes hear when I am wearing shorts
"What's that thing, sport?" "Commando"
When shorts hang too loosely on my legs
"Sausage and eggs", "Commando"
They are lying there for all to see
I'm wild and free, "Commando"
Oh, I went and emptied out my draw'rs
There's no regret
Sometimes when I get excited there's
A lot of stares "Commando"
Hey guys, if women can show off their boobs
Roll out your tubes "Commando"
(Fade out slowly in the end like underwear do)

A brilliant idea for a song =) I tried my own take on the subject awhile back. Well done, love the Something About Mary reference, and many other good lines.
Reminds me of the story about Dexy's Midnight Runners, who were made to "go commando" when filming their "Come On Eileen" video. I'm old enough to remember TOS, which is probably the best song ABBA ever put out.
funny as hell...goin' commando today in honor of this
LOL!!! I never even knew half those terms before I read this...I don't know which is the funniest line , so let's just say the whole parody. 5's....lots of them.
5s, freakin' brilliant! You have just GOT to do this at the comedy club, Rick! And do this parody at the comedy club, too.
Favourite line was the "Freedom" one on the first verse. This is hilarious, and would work so very well as a performance number (the song, I mean... jeez..)
Thanks, Jeff. You know, until you mentioned it, I wasn’t even aware that I stole that from that movie. At least I got it from a good source. Thanks, Steve. I didn’t know that either. Thanks, Alvin. Just be careful with those shorts. Adagio, thanks a lot. Yes, this site can be very educational. You’ve taught me a few things too only, the things you’ve taught me, I wouldn’t be embarrassed to repeat in front of my mother. Thanks, Johnny. Coming from you, I take that as a very high compliment. Did you hear Jeff Reuben will be in Boston in November. We should meet up with him. Thanks, Phil. Always good to hear from you, sir.
Another thing I meant to say JD was HAW!!!! at your comment. LOL !
You are a certified (or certifiable) parody GENIUS, Mr Cormier! This is ass-crackingly funny. 555+
Thank you, Kristof. If I make YOU laugh, that's a good thing. Thanks for all the lines you've cracked me up with. That goes for the rest of you too.
Top job, here..ultra-humerous...555
Thanks, AFW. I thought yours today was a hoot too.
brilliant Rick, and might I say the pacing flow was a treat, as was the syllable-matching - *shifts uncomfortably* er, so you call yours Old Brando too? (that's weird) - I loved the euphemisms too (fruit and looms, frank and beans etc.) - 555
Underwear has now become under where? 5's
Not an ABBA fan, but I did d/l TOS (LimeWire). "Nothing now to crush your grapes/Into a pulp and make you whine" was just one of many great lines. Very funny work Rick. 555
Thank you, Stu. Yeah, the pacing in the verses was a lot trickier than I thought it would be going into this one. I call mine "Old Brando" any time it works in the rhyme scheme. The "fly-fishing" line was part of a joke I had written for my comedy act but, decided to use here instead.
Thanks for popping in Lionel:-)
I'm not an Abba fan either, Jack. Thanks for the comments and votes bro.

HOLY MOLY!! This is just freaking fabulous, Rick! Perfectly paced, along with fabulous rhymes...and of course, just the funny FUNNY premise...I LOVE it!
Some favorite bits:
Take your fruit out of their looms
I can't control "Old Brando"
"What's that thing, sport?" "Commando"
L to the freaking OL...all around!!
Sorry I missed it earlier in the week...but this is DEFINITELY worth coming back for. Just excellent...=)

Glad this wasn't about the Ahnold movie "Commando," which was as bad as his Governorship has been. Steve K: It may just be the best song ABBA ever put out. Which tells me all I need to know about that musical monstrosity.
Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Pacholek.
Greatest parody ever! 555!
Thanks, poomaster!
(SOTM) What Adagio said. 555
(SOTM) flippin hilarious! haha i remember that seinfeld ep... it was almost as funny as your parody mate!
(SOTM) You wrote my themesong, 5-5-5
(SOTM) Yeah, yeah...bloody funny, as usual...blah, blah, whatever..;-)
Yes, this is definitely funny, and not what "Commando" usually brings to mind. You should mail this to Bill Clinton! -- MM
(SOTM) Very, very funny, Rick. Although some guys may not be able to pull it off, if you can perhaps you'd be even more comfortable in a nice pair of leather pants...awoooooo!
And regarding earlier comments about ABBA's music, after listening to the OS for this as well as listening to "Mamma Mia" for Kristof's ABC-D entry, I've discovered to my horror that I actually kind of *shudder* LIKE those songs. But I guess I can file them next to Meat Loaf in my guilty pleasures.

Aye, aye Captain! Captain Commando that is!!!!
(SOTM) Oh, so THAT's what this song is about! Hang 'em high!
SOTM-Good
SOTM - Holy helicopters Batman! This looks it's becoming the hardest SOTM ever. And I think the Joker is behind every entry.
(SOTM) What can I say but...ew. And...too much information! And...DKTOS. And...that was HILARIOUS!
Thanks to Chris, Paula, the Charnstar, Kristof, Michael, Cat, Matthias, Agrimorfee, Max, K1and pieman.
Once again, I find that someone with an axe to grind is using SOTM to ding me, undeservedly, for pacing. You should check out E-bay and see if you can win an auction on a life. You desperately need one!
While you're at it, maybe you can bid on a new set of balls too. The ones you have now would only serve to produce another idiot.

(SOTM = Song of True Men) See above! Even funnier imagining a woman singing this.
(SOTM = Swing Of The Mendulum) See below--er, I mean above!
(SOTM) yep, that's a real funny one alright, Rick - and I was about to say pretty much everything I said above - great stuff - I also loved the "garment don't align" line
(SOTM) *cough* Umm ... wow. I don't really know what to say about this one. Hey, do you feel a draft?
SOTM...I said it before and I'll say it again...this is just about as wonderful as a parody can be. Top 5 for sure!
(SOTM) Interesting parody you've got here.
Well done, good to read again. See above!
This one cracked me up!
i was the one who wrote the other commando song. This one was LOLISH! 555.
Fantastic, Rick. I'm glad you've chosen Amiright to air out your comedy bits. The freedom line, "fruit out of their looms," "Old Brando," and "grapes...whine" are all great, but "fly fishing" is classic.
I apologize for the belated thank you's but, thank you to Red Ant, JD, Stu, wannabe, Arwen, Scathe, Jeff, Boolet, Gregory and Spaff.com.
LOVED IT LOVED IT! Frank and beans and...EVERYTHING! This ruled! There's Something About Rick=The movie based on this parody
(SOTY) "Hey guys, if women can show off their boobs Roll out your tubes "Commando"" You always through in a line at the end that blows your parodies out of the water. I liked this one much better than Chia Pests. . .To be honest, I seem to like all of your work, and your recordings. . .
Greatness. Absolute greatness.
Still great Capitan
SOTY - Hoo boy. Not my favorite of yours but it has its moments (and some very funny puns at that).
Just wanted to read it again, I remember it as being so funny. This time the "fly fishing" when the garments don't align cracked me up. LOLOL Again!
Outstanding. I was hoping against hope someone hadn't already thought of this idea, but not only has it been done, but brilliantly here.
