Can't resist this one, I'm afraid, even if it does have a kind of JD-esqe flavour:

Oh, why break tradition? Yet another Slim Shady parody, 'Spare Pants' to 'Square Dance'.

I scoured the net for the music and the best I got was some Swedish webpage with a polyphonic ringtone.

Well, I guess the Olympics have more or less worn down what little interest in athletic matters is to be found around here so I´m not going with my football anthem "United". Instead I´m choosing a silly little ditty called...

(Let Me Alter My) Jeans In Your Pool:
http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/depechemode2.shtml

...that I´m rather found of. Normaly I don´t go looking for songs to fit an idea but this (the title line/phrase) was in my sketchbook for quite some time for exactly that backwards writing reason. Just like my author name "Know 1 can hear you dream" you´ll find that if you pronounce it it means something completely different than when you just read it.

No music required but I'm afraid it does have to be a song that appeared on AmiRight during the month of August so you just missed by a few days.  You're more than welcome to participate next month, though.
