This is for all non-EC or peripheral-EC topics. We all know how much we love talking about 'The Man' but sometimes we have other interests.

Songs Celebrating Corduroy


Tom Petty - You Wreck Me

John Prine - Sins of Memphisto (a boy on his bike in corduroy slacks sleeps in the river by the railroad tracks)

and that's all *I* can think of.

Are we supposed to be listing more songs featuring corduroy, or do we pick our own topic and run with it?

I'm drawing a blank. How about "Forever in Blue Jeans" by Neil Diamond? :D

Interestingly, corduroy is one of my daughter's spelling words this week.

Corduroy is a toughie... I feel like Belle & Sebastian must have said something about it, but I'm drawing a blank. Satin might be easier...
