Holiday Release "Stretchy Pants"

We all already know what an inspirational leader that Patty Greene can be. On November 10th she made the following post on social media (as part of her gratitude series): “Today, the older I get, the more I am thankful for stretchy pants. They hardly ever let me down and are always there for me. Just sayin' ”

On November 11, Carrie Underwood released a brand new song and video titled “Stretchy Pants.” Coincidence? No way. Clearly, Carrie was so inspired by Patty’s gratitude that she immediately went into production mode to have her release AND video ready for the world within 24 hours.

How could we do anything less than reserve the song and create a new holiday singing call, celebrating something that beautifully embraces all holidays and holiday celebrations? The wonderfully inclusive tradition of ”Stretchy Pants!” (Even Twiggy can appreciate them during the holidays.)

Of course, we HAD to let Patty record the vocal for the female range. Anything else would have thrown pie in the face of her inspiration. In hindsight, probably not a good analogy, but you get the point. As always, Patty did a great job with her vocal, and Jimmy and I had a little fun (maybe a lot) with the background vocals.

My favorite caller-on-sabbatical and I spent all of 15 seconds discussing who was the right choice for the male vocal. By the 16th second we already had Mike Seastrom on the phone. HUGE thanks to Wade Driver and Rhythm Records for lending Mike’s talent to Chic Recordings. You all have to agree that he knocked this fun song out of the park! So much fun having Mike and Lisa in the studio with us for a few hours. Of course, Jimmy and I added our BGV fun to this track as well.
