Bottom End Credits

Get Your Pants Off

Get Your Pants Off is a song written by Rik and Ade for Bottom Live 2001. It formed part of the final act and encouraged audience members to remove their underwear and throw it onto the stage. The song was also used in the finale of Bottom Live 2003. In both shows, the song begins with Richie shouting "hit the button!" followed by two pairs of underpants dropping from above for Rik and Ade to put on during a quick ten-second drum beat. On most occasions the pair failed to put the underwear on in time for the drumbeat to end, with Ade normally catching them on the heel of one of his boots. Midway through the song an electric guitar is lowered onto the stage for Ade, who then enters into a blistering guitar solo. The guitar is rigged with small pyrotechnics to give the appearance that the strings are snapping towards the song's end.

Happiness? by Roger Taylor

Although never heard in the series or shows, Eddie has a poster of Queen drummer Roger Taylor's album on his bedroom wall in the episode "Holy." Also in "Terror," the same poster is seen on a wall in Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi Cul-de-sac next to a poster of Jesus & Mary Chain.
