The Laws of Rock and Roll

I would challenge the assertion that Ian Anderson used the word "panties" in any of his songs. I suspect the line in question is from the song "Aqualung," to wit: 'eyeing little girls with bad intent.' This has often been mis-heard as ". . . little girls with satin panties," but such Freudian slips tell us more about the filthy minds of the listeners than they do about Mr. Anderson's lyrical abilities.

What about the next line: "drying in the cold sun / watching the frilly panties run"?

Well, darn. I sit corrected.
