Bit of a stretch but I wanted to get here first.

Greetings, Bob ... and thank you for this inspiring week! There is an insane amount of denim in this video - double denim doesn't even begin to cover it. The song itself has nothing to do with jeans, but was recorded in 1966 by The Swinging Blue Jeans - a group from Liverpool - so I think it fits within your remit .....

Is 'a bit of a stretch' a subtle reference to the famous Chuck Norris action jeans

They're pretty much what you'd expect! Stylish, hard wearing but with a stretchy gusset for greater comfort when roundhouse kicking a bad guy in the face!

A cracking start to the season!
Thank you all so far!
Brian threw down the triple denim gauntlet with the very first song and I'll gladly pick that bad boy up! (Although, ironically, you can't actually see my jeans in the video...)
Anyway, as host I feel should probably do the 'title track' so here's some Diamond for y'all!

A very boring man!
So here’s a cover of Elton’s tribute to Norma Jean Baker - aka Marilyn Monroe. And to make the connection to the theme a little less tenuous I’ve opened the vid with a lovely pic of Ms Monroe in double denim.

About 1970(?), I heard this song on the radio and bought the record. I listened to it for a few weeks and soon tired of it. I have no idea what ever happened to the record, but when I saw this week's topic, I decided to learn the song. I still kinda like it, but it won't stay in my repertoire.

the beginning of my next song for this season
put together while sitting on a headland over looking the beach
scribbled the words down in my little book and got my wife to take a vid of the budding melody (in the wind)
to clear up some of the lyrics - I don't own any ladies and we don't own any aprons - and if we did I'd be the one most likely to be wearing it...
finished product coming soon i hope

I love this! It's great to get a little insight into people's songwriting process. That looks like a fine place to find inspiration!
Looking forward to the finished article!

I might not be able to play the uke properly anymore
But I decided to exercise my mind and write a song.
It is about taking new things and making them look old,
or appropriately distressed.
Today it seems everything
is appropriately distressed
501's are sand papered down
slit at the knees and MADE a mess
Brown leather bags scuffed
at the edges and made too old
The antique look doubles the
price when they're finally sold
my old blue jeans and brown
leather bag look incredibly cool.
If you think I've had them for years
You're a fashion victim and a fool
