I was thinking, today, “if someone travelled forward from the 20s to early 40s and suddenly found themselves in the 2020s, this might be a good song to ease them into things”. Then I remembered the lyric about the documentary on the fall of Nazi Germany, and realised I’d have to say “oh yeah, that happened, by the way”.

In my language we actually have an expression called "kalsarikännit", which actually translates to underwear-drunk. And this song describes it perfectly: getting comfy at home in your undies getting drunk. 🤣
I seem to remember that when UK found out about our word, they immediately translated it to pants-drunk. PS. I'm assuming it's UK, because they use pants instead of underwear for kalsarit
Played this to my significant other when she got home from a girls night out. She is now convinced this is how I spend my night.... And she's not wrong! Bravo sir!
@@rc_woshimao957 "Kalsarikänni" is a finnish word for "Drinking by yourself at your house in your underwear with no intention of going out". And it's translate to english as a "pants drunk" (I quess=).
Actually it really is a Finnish thing. The Finnish have a word describing drunk at home or drinking at home by yourself in your underwear and that word is kalsarikänni, which when translated literally actually means pants drunk.
You know, I can't drink, but that's why even as a person of the opposite gender I like to stay home and just Do What The Hell I Want, without an audience. (Applause)
I was gonna listen to 'The Coffee Song,' & realized Tom hadn't done that tune... which would be ironically commical for a proper British Gentleman to do a song about coffee. This song is one of my favorites, undoubtedly.
Two beers and five shots deep... I've watched a documentary about Greenland, planned a camping trip with my buddy five months from now, halfway crocheted a purse, and watched my pet rabbits tear apart a towel. I feel like I've done proper. And can we please take a minute to appreciate the use of the rotary telephone?
So much for the staid and proper TBW in his natty 3-piece suit... now we know he was just an illusion... The a capella intro was amazing... would love to see that done with other tunes.
I'm pants drunk. I wished that you'd care that I'm enjoying your video but I discounted my importance. It occurred to me that everyone enjoys a compliment so "thank you" for your videos! Hugs and kisses from Las Vegas!
If I may humbly add... I've enjoyed your videos for years. It's not simply a "pants drunk" situation. You have an incredible talent!!! Lucky lady who shares your bed ;)
i loved the audio but after seeing the video its even better. his smile through the whole song is just so damn warm and genuine. like he actually recorded this while getting pants drunk. great work!
A touch of the old Kalsarikännit, eh? I don't even need to know the definition of the word jib in order to know when I've encountered one of exceptional quality. And I must say I quite like the cut of your jib, Ser.
Listening to these songs last night while getting pants drunk and this one never came up... It's def on the playlist for next weekend when I have a free night to myself.
I’m new to his channel and I wanted to see how his music sounds. RUclips shows me a bunch of albums and I literally only chose this album arbitrarily to listen to because the album cover seemed to have him in exactly these
this is criminally under-viewed
The algorithm strikes again..
I’m working on it
I am currently waiting untill I can get pants drunk I can do everything but drink

Like in Doctor Who where they tell the soldier they need to get him back to his "first World War" and then immediately add "Oops, spoilers".

Outstanding
I was going to write it too about ”Kalsarikännit”, but I was too late. I like to get Pants Drunk or Kalsarikännit. Thank you for this great song.
I've learned avout this just about the same time I heard this song the first time.
Brilliance!!
Like, in Finland you have special word for every weird pleasure :D Finland is a gorgeous country :D

Bravo sir!
i'd probably add playing games to this
bu alas, as a single i can do this almost every night
With all the social distancing, this might be my new anthem.
Bravo! This is exactly the thing that most married gentlemen get up to when their lady goes out of an evening!
I was thinking that! What guys REALLY do when the girls have a night out!
My favorite activity during a quarantine!
"...on Friday night"
WHAT DAY IS IT!?
@@fellowhuman8830 I thought it was Tuesday
Same here, before quarantine as well
@@folkmarcmetal Me too except I didn't have a girlfriend then so I'm not sure it qualified.
@@fellowhuman8830 every night is Friday night during quarantine.
Finally a translation for kalsarikännit
That is not Swedish.
@@GegoXaren no it's finnish
@@sharlharmakhis280
I just asked my mother, and she it indeed is Finnish.
wait what does that mean

I am not native speaker and these songs help me both learning English and having a good mood.
Thank you very much Thomas!
This is an EXCELENT way to learn English!
This man just spoke the truth.
Who is disliking this? Literally offends nobody, its just a catchy tune.
People being deliberately contrarian on social media trying to cause an online fight
Imagine my surprise when I'd been doing just that very thing for 2 hours and landed on this song! Still laughing as I type this! 🤣👍🍺
Thomas Benjamin, it's nice to meet you sir. Sincerely , Benjamin Thomas :)
This is very appealing to the finnish kalsarikänni culture. This has to be my favorite party song from now on!
Your country sounds excellent
As a Finn this makes me lol, especially as I got pants drunk today again
let all of the pants drunk finns unite
...perhaps not physically, but in spirit
i love this song alot
This song really hits home during this terrible pantsdemic.😆🥃👍
You're the only RUclipsr I actually share on my Facebook as everyone needs your music thru the fees
same here
Your music makes me smile and my heart jump !
Bruh... thought I was alone... xD jokes aside, this is the closest anyone’s gotten to summarize that feeling. Awesome song, as always, mr Esq!
Bruh? What?
Esquire (Esq) is a title not a name. It should be Mr Wild, my good sir. (I'm just being silly fyi)
AngharadMac (as was i xD)
Brilliant
A pass time that will never go out of fashion!
Pants drunk = British version of coronavirus quarantine!
Not only the British way ;)
Can confirm
Actually it really is a Finnish thing. The Finnish have a word describing drunk at home or drinking at home by yourself in your underwear and that word is kalsarikänni, which when translated literally actually means pants drunk.
Never have I been more disappointed that RUclips does not have a love button! Something exceeding like is required here and I cannot like this enough!
My favorite way to get drunk any day, and not just Friday nights.
You know, I can't drink, but that's why even as a person of the opposite gender I like to stay home and just Do What The Hell I Want, without an audience. (Applause)
Me too, although my cat is my audience
@@MsPoisongirl1985 His kitty friends might be talking about you and having a giggle! 😂
you good sir are a genius songwriter
How have I only found this song recently??
It's such a great song.
You are an awesome musician Thomas

WELL! That's a version of Pink Floyd's "Comfotably Numb" i never expected to hear! 😳😁😎👍
That's my life... in the weekends. Pants Drunk... best!
My life in a song...🤗
PANTS DRUNK 🙌🙌
So much for the staid and proper TBW in his natty 3-piece suit... now we know he was just an illusion...
The a capella intro was amazing... would love to see that done with other tunes.
The irony of me being pants drunk whilst discovering this song
"pants drunk", an accurate depiction of a finnish weekend
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that
I'm pants drunk. I wished that you'd care that I'm enjoying your video but I discounted my importance. It occurred to me that everyone enjoys a compliment so "thank you" for your videos! Hugs and kisses from Las Vegas!

what a wonderful voice. can fit to any classic musicale or a radio broadcast in the 30-40's.
my favorite of your songs by far
This man is GREAT....!!! I didn't even KNOW this existed..🤣 What a tune..!!!👍👍👍
This is great for quarantine. Thanks for the great song.
Love what you do!
*THANK YOU FOR THE REPRESENTATION, SIR* 🏠🍷
Yeah, man!
Kalsarikännit ! Splendid song, by the way. Really love it!
Fantastic, but also very true too!
Brilliant!
RUclips legitimately classified this as “children’s music” for a suggested playlist
One cant make this shit up. The algorithm is hillarious😅
I love this guy!
I am like a 5 year old I can't stop listening to this
"Kalsarikännit" here in Finland👍
wow!
I'm utterly thrilled to find this channel. Perfect blend of humour and intelligence with a dose of sadness. Cynical joy.
I want the album!! 👏🏼
Bloody hell , classic,i love this, this is what I do when ever I can when my partner is at work before she doesn't like me to drink.
You certainly know how to make a cranky mood change for the better! Love it!
Love this song!!! Love these little ditties
Wow. This song is truly a majesty...
"Yeah, what do you listen to?"
"Fuck if I know"
A true anthem for our modern times! Bravo!
I'm gonna get pants drunk tonight because of this song. :P
Good old fashioned witty British humour. Guys like you keep the world loving the UK.
Awesome, love it!
In Finland, this is called ’kalsarikännit’. The best kind of drinking.:D
This is epic, watched it 5 times in an hour. Suits the times too
Love it!
Fart and revel in the stink....
You sir, you understand what it's all about.
I love getting pants drunk 😂
I just might have a new anthem here.
Hope this is on the next album
The quarantine theme we deserve.
I needed this.
I love my partner, but when he goes out for the evening, this is exactly how I feel
This is my right now song hell yeah!
This is literally my Friday nights, thanks Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. - you’ve successfully put my favourite night into an amazing song
The anthem for man's alone time. XD
Brilliant 😂
My new personal anthem
Love your song(s). This really made me smile lol
i loved the audio but after seeing the video its even better. his smile through the whole song is just so damn warm and genuine. like he actually recorded this while getting pants drunk. great work!

Thank you for your music! I had a bad day yesterday but then I discovered your RUclips channel and I've been laughing all morning :'D
Can u TOUR PLEASE *PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE*
Saw him live last year. I guess a lot of gigs have been delayed though.
Brilliant, as usual. This is so funny I'm crying. Thank you
His songs just relate to my soul so much
Catchy and eloquent as always, love it. Guess I'm getting pants drunk tonight
If only I heard this at the beginning of the pandemic!
3 years later I got it, that is Speckled Hen!
T.J. the Jester approves of this message.
"No one to judge my choice of tunes"... Well, as this song is playing, I don't fear any judge.
Listening to these songs last night while getting pants drunk and this one never came up... It's def on the playlist for next weekend when I have a free night to myself.
love this!
This song makes me smile
love the video but weirdly sad to see a lack of garters for those socks.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
You'll do it your way and I'll do it mine. ;)

I feel like for a lot of people this song is the freaking anthem of the pandemic.
this feels like a prequel to My Girl by Madness.
