Slick is a disco project from 1979, the peak of disco music production – and features studio musicians who also formed Fat Larry’s Band, singer Brandi Wells and The Sweethearts of Sigma in the chorus ensemble. The production from Butch Ingram is familiar with his studio group Philly Cream whose single “Motown Review” received radio and club success in 1979 also. “Put Your Pants On” is a track from the Slick album and was also featured on the B-side to their big hit “Space Bass” – which became an underground club hit and maintained its disc jockey status throughout the early 80s. It is a play on a sexy situation and uses a parody of sounds to play out its almost vaudevillian humor. It is an infectious rhythm however and one that I always found creative and fun from this project.
I have taken the album version (also 12”) of “Put Your Pants On” and purposely directed a ReStructure Mix at playing with the tinkling cowbells and funky backing guitar riffs. It is not only extended, but also some added punch gives this track another life.
