Okay, I might as well add my personal experience story - perhaps an inspiration for this song! A lot of you know I work in Education. When I was teaching, years ago, we had parent conferences one day. Our principal shouted us all a lovely takeaway dinner in the staffroom afterwards, because it was a very long afternoon of back to back meetings. Anyway, after eating, I got the dreaded bloat, so in the car on the way home, I undid my top button and zip to 'breathe'! Of course, I'd forgotten about this when I went to the BUSY petrol station to fill up. Once I got home, I saw my error in my mirror - professional outfit, all black, name badge from my school, and a bright white triangle of undies poking through where I'd let the zipper in the pants down. Yikes.
I used to wear jeans to my work. The computer system analyst before me did so, so I copied him. He told me there was no promotion, no client contact. So jeans were fine. One day I saw in a mirror that my bright red underwear was visible through the holes I had worn in the jeans. Next day I wore dress pants and a dress shirt. My boss queried me on my wardrobe change. I told her I felt I would better represent the company by dressing better. Two days later we had a new company policy. Dress pants and shirts for men. A vague dress code for women, implying business clothes but not defining it. My point: my wardrobe malfunction changed-instituted a company dress code.
Great story!!! I must confess at my age now, 63......only elastic!!! I quit wearing jeans with zippers and bands years ago! I'm retired and I'm gonna be comfortable but yes, I suffered through a many of those situations! Another great parody song!!!
I think we can all relate to similar situations like this. The problem when we relax in our cars and unbutton is that the zip has a way of finding it's way down without us knowing. You're not alone Shirley!
I can relate. I spend a lot of time walking around the house with my trousers undone. Unfortunately I once ran out to catch the bin man for more recycling bags and ended up with them around my ankles. Not my finest moment!
Same here, except my problem are not the jeans, but the t-shirts, I don't know how these people make the t-shirts today, they get tight around the belly after few washes... :D
Every video so amazing. She makes us younger old folks smile and laugh more and more. I am 43, post-menopausal due to hysterectomy and I am already in the same place. I feel all her songs! Love you and your channel!

Thanks so much, Maranda. I'm just a few months older than you. (Turned 44 last month.) 😜
I’m 47 and have been fighting the “middle age spread” for over a decade now (damn you, early perimenopause!). I’ve been buying my jeans in the men’s department at Walmart forever because of a variety of reasons, one of which is the better fit (after all, how can one screw up waist and inseam measurements in inches?). Men’s jeans in winter, military summer-weave pants in hot weather, a pair of men’s black dress slacks for when I need “business” attire-that sums up the bottom half of my wardrobe. But WHY does our weight gain have to be in the middle when there’s no need whatsoever for us to save reserves for a possible pregnancy anymore?! It’s MADDENING!
Wow! Man---Shirley you are one real gifted lady!! You did it again! I can relate to this. I love you silly, funny lady!! You always outdo yourself! I love you, silly, funny lady! God Bless! 😂😂😂.
I love all your songs, but hands down this has got to be my favorite one!!! I love ABBA, and you made a honest and dreaded problem into something almost delightful. I even kept my maternity pants around for awhile after my last child, now 30+ years ago, just so I could eat out and be comfortable. I did get rid of them before everyone noticed. Great job with this one!!

Thanks so much, Paula! I'm glad you liked it - sorry that, like me, you relate to it though! 😆
@ it's all good. I stopped worrying about it when I finally realized that I didn't have to make myself fit into somebody else's view of perfection. Only my own view of what's acceptable for me.
I love your videos, they always make my day. Where I live in Canada we call them "buffet pants". So that they can stretch after eating at the buffet, ha ha!!
I love Shirley Serban's songs....I have become an addict to watching and listening....everyday in fact!!! I can so relate to this, when I was 35 my body grew "out" and I have been trying to grow "in" since then!!!! I'm now 58. I have been telling my friends here in "Little Ol' Rhody" about you and your hilarious videos. Even my young piano students love the cat and dog videos. Keep up the excellent work!! God Bless you in everything you do!!😄

Bwahaha!😂👏👏👏 I wore elastic jeans when I was in my 20's. It was like being stuck in a vice. I had to lie on the bed to get them on. Then I rolled off and strutted like a mummy until they'd warmed up enough for me to be able to bend my knees. Sure, they looked good (or so I thought) but the best thing about them was when I got to take them off. It's like the sweet relief you feel when you take off your bra. Picture William Wallace (as portrayed by Mel Gibson in the movie Braveheart) screaming: "FREEDOM!"
Who else here hates wearing a bra so much that you've learned how to remove it without taking off your shirt? The last guy I dated thought that was hilarious.
The brown and blonde wigs, one with the headband, the reversal of the colors of the outfits, and the fact that the ABBA ladies never seemed to quite get in the same rhythm. Down to a T. One really loves your parodies. Your talent is amazing and thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Thank you so much. I must say, very little effort went into the shared rhythm - I knew I wouldn't nail it so didn't try! 🤣
Did Shirley. I just ran across your channel and listened to menopause and aging men and laughed and laughed. I'm 66 and was in a catastrophic accident back in February 2022 and was in the hospital for 6 months with 4 operations from a bad doctor. During this time of not being able to move or walk, I have put on 50 pounds and have been very depressed. Listening to your songs really helped me laugh and feel better. It's going to be a long, slow road, but eventually I will get my weight back down, be able to walk again and have some sort of life in the future. Thank you so very much for making me laugh and giving me that little push I needed.

Dear John. Thank you so much for writing this to me. You have no idea how it impacts me. This is why I do what I do. There is too much sadness and fear in our world, and it makes me so happy to know that my silly little observations in song are bringing some measure of joy. My birthday is tomorrow and you have given me an early, and very special, birthday present in this comment. Thank you so much.
@ Dear Shirley. I hope you have an Absolutely Wonderful Birthday tomorrow! I have been watching your videos and Weird Al Yankovic 's "Living with a Hernia" and laughing my head off and feel better than I have in 1 1/2 years of all of the pain and suffering I have gone through. Thank you again for doing that and I look forward to many more fabulous videos from you.
Dancing Queen was my daughter's and I's song. Whenever we brought it up on a music channel we would have a blast singing along & dancing...Now I must confess that my allegiance is with your parody song "Expanding Jeans." Yep, that's where I'm at now, but it's ok, I'm still upright! HeHe :) Thanks for all you do!!
Originally Dancing Queen was about supporting young girls just getting into the real world, and dancing the night away! That's what helped make it great
OMG!! I actually snorted! This is a great (& relatable!) song! Hubs says “WHAT are you listening to?” “Oh, just another song about my life. No worries!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
God I love it !!! Another great parody by Shirley and certainly one that all of us older people can appreciate or feel bad about. Simple thing is that we all change as we grow older both physically and mentally, but songs like this make us realize one simple thing ... we are not alone. Great job !!!
Hey Shirley, for an OK Boomer you still have some moves there! 😉🤣 Another video my wife is gonna yell at me for, but I'm still showing it to her, and I LOVE pad thai btw 😎

I only discovered this very amusing video this morning (15 July 2024) ....I don't know where you've been but I've been wearing expanding jeans for a couple of decades.....apart from the improved comfort...expanding jeans also accommodate a degree of weight gain or weight loss - once upon a time it was necessary to have 'skinny' jeans / 'medium' jeans and 'fat' jeans - now one size will do!! 😂😂💕

Yes, you're not the only one needing "Expanding Jeans",, lol!. I just commented to your question about what songs your viewers would like you to do as actual original covers. I had not ran across this video yet and I asked for Dancing Queen. 20 minutes later I discover this video and after hearing what you did here, I would just LOVE to see and hear you do an actual cover on the full Dancing Queen song!

Ha - you're the sole reason for at least 3kg gone!!! 😆 (I'm not ignoring your recent Gotye comments - just letting some build up to tackle all at once.)
I always say, waistbands should be like the Universe--infinitely expanding! Thank you, Shirley, once again, for getting to the great existential problems we face in this life!
I wanted a new outfit for my first post-COVID-19 big event. I went to my nearby Macy's (major chain in the U.S.) and found something I liked. At first glance, I thought it was a long dress, but it turned out to be a 3-piece pants outfit, including a shell top and an outer top. And they even had it in my size. But the shell top was missing. So they didn't have it in my size but had the next higher size. I tried it on. The pants did not fall down on me. The shell top was too big, but I decided to take it. And the whole evening when I wore it, I never had to worry about it suddenly becoming too tight! (And since it was a pants outfit, I could wear knee-highs instead of pantyhose!)
Your singing really is GREAT, Shirley!! I heard ABBA is getting back together. Send them this video- maybe you can be a backup singer!! 😊 This is another fave!! I could never stand tight jeans...now that I'm older, no way! Comfort is key!! 🥨🍕🌭🌮🍟🍝🍩🍫🍰🥧🧁🍪🧀🥓
You sure do have a natural talent and creative mind. Another work of art that is truly worth watching. You always say exactly how it is, lol. I would love you to come to the UK and perform a concert with all your parody songs, It would be a sell out no doubt. (And bring the cute little doggy with you)....

Thanks, Andrea. About to watch the 3pm announcement to see what's next for us all - and from there, the work begins in earnest for me - what kind of school will we be running on Monday?
Shirley.... its back to ZOOM teaching again... at least up until Tuesday Night 11.59pm... just depends if Delta reaches the South Island... but there are 'contacts' down that way... fingers cross they test NEG.
It's a good day. Won $500 on a scratchy ticket, and a new video from Shirley! Bought my first pair of PARTIALLY elastic waist jeans earlier this year. Godsend. Thanks for always, Sister!
Another 'waistline' song of mine from earlier this year that you might relate to: th-cam.com/video/coqCYIWKEUo/w-d-xo.html

LOL Shirley you've done it again - I split a seam laughing!
Ooops!! No lavish dinners involved even!
Yay, Abba..! Dancing with you, my friend
Woohoo!
Your titles are brilliant. How do you choose them?
Thank you. I have no idea - the words come randomly.
Loved the new video!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you Shirley.
No problem, Sally.
This lady is HILARIOUS! 😂🤣😂🤣😂👍
Spot on......the perfect words and everything! Matches to the song perfectly too! Love it......the Menapouse song was the first song that I found of hers. Could not stop laughing! She is just so Funny! 😁
Thanks so much, Angela. It's nice to know that others share my offbeat humour!
So excited ! 😃
Yay!
Goodness, Shirley! Have I not left enough comments on your Gotye parody?! 🤣
Ha - you're the sole reason for at least 3kg gone!!! 😆 (I'm not ignoring your recent Gotye comments - just letting some build up to tackle all at once.)
I always say, waistbands should be like the Universe--infinitely expanding!
Thank you, Shirley, once again, for getting to the great existential problems we face in this life!
Haha - the trials of life run deep, don't they?!
Amen.
Shirley Serban you are brilliant! 🌟
From my favorite ABBA song, I'm glad that you found a way to parody it.
Thank you
I wanted a new outfit for my first post-COVID-19 big event. I went to my nearby Macy's (major chain in the U.S.) and found something I liked. At first glance, I thought it was a long dress, but it turned out to be a 3-piece pants outfit, including a shell top and an outer top. And they even had it in my size. But the shell top was missing. So they didn't have it in my size but had the next higher size. I tried it on. The pants did not fall down on me. The shell top was too big, but I decided to take it. And the whole evening when I wore it, I never had to worry about it suddenly becoming too tight! (And since it was a pants outfit, I could wear knee-highs instead of pantyhose!)
Sounds like a real win - well done!!!
Just brilliant. 🤣
Thanks!
Your singing really is GREAT, Shirley!! I heard ABBA is getting back together. Send them this video- maybe you can be a backup singer!! 😊
This is another fave!! I could never stand tight jeans...now that I'm older, no way! Comfort is key!! 🥨🍕🌭🌮🍟🍝🍩🍫🍰🥧🧁🍪🧀🥓
Thanks so much, Willow Bark.
You sure do have a natural talent and creative mind. Another work of art that is truly worth watching. You always say exactly how it is, lol. I would love you to come to the UK and perform a concert with all your parody songs, It would be a sell out no doubt. (And bring the cute little doggy with you)....
Thank you, Julie! That certainly would be fun. (Not sure if Luna would agree....)
@ Luna could always watch via zoom, lol....
Just incredible. But then why would I be surprised. Every video I watch of yours Shirley makes me feel soo happy. Please keep them coming.
Thanks so much, Beachside. I'm glad you enjoy them.
Priceless! Love love love your channel, Shirley!
Love and hugs from Sugar Land, Texas ❤️🤗🎶

Hey ladies, have you ever heard of stretch jeans? Um, I forgot to mention, stretch jeans with elastic waist bands! Greatest thing for jeans lovers and the mid-life spread. 😎
Great tip!
I’ve just stumbled on your menopause video, then I watched the aging men one and now this one. Your creativity and sense of humor is what this world needs. Please keep them coming!!!
Thank you so much, DGAWDGAW! Enjoy the videos - don't know if you saw the latest one, out just over an hour ago. 😀
You sing really well and your lyric changes are great!
Forget the zip and buttons.... just wear trackies (trackpants)... elastic waists on them pants work everytime... lol
Shirley hope you are coping ok down there with Level 4 lockdown.... for me I just wish everyone in Auckland would just stay HOME.... too many DELTA cases coming thru now... So keep on pumping out more songs to keep us Aucklanders amused whilst stuck inside :-)
Thanks, Andrea. About to watch the 3pm announcement to see what's next for us all - and from there, the work begins in earnest for me - what kind of school will we be running on Monday?
Shirley.... its back to ZOOM teaching again... at least up until Tuesday Night 11.59pm... just depends if Delta reaches the South Island... but there are 'contacts' down that way... fingers cross they test NEG.
My gawd, that is one of your best Shirley! Thanks for a great laugh. Cheers from Canada.
Glad you enjoyed it, Bob - thanks!
It's a good day. Won $500 on a scratchy ticket, and a new video from Shirley! Bought my first pair of PARTIALLY elastic waist jeans earlier this year. Godsend. Thanks for always, Sister!
Nice work, Donna!
Loved this, it was so funny!
Thank you, tj921able!
