Blue jeans are wrong for two reasons.

1. Page through photographs up to 1970. Do you see women in blue jeans?in the 1900's, the 1920's, the 1930's? No you don't.

In fact, when I a little girl in the 1950's, women didn't wear jeans. Well, maybe teenagers that wanted to show their rebelliousness did.

No, forget Levi Strauss and all that, it's just a lazy rhyme.

2. Examine a pair of blue jeans. Note the heavy fabric, the thick seams, the fincky details. Blue jeans are not made by mothers at a home sewing machine. They are made in factories, on specialized, heavy-duty machines, each of which can only do one part of the manufacturing process.

It's a sloppy verse sung by a person out of touch with the subject, and that's not what good songs are supposed to be.
