Trying to find a song about being wedgied

When I was a kid, like a real little kid, I remember having this one song I liked a lot about a guy trying to deal with getting wedgies at school. I remember almost nothing about it now, other than the guy eventually finds that Fruit of the Loom brand underwear has stretchy enough elastic to make the wedges painless. (This song is the reason I kept bugging my parents to get me Fruit of the Loom brand underwear instead of other brands.)

Now I can't seem to find the song. The only reason I know it existed is because my parents also remember my weird brand loyalty to Fruit of the Loom because of that song. Can any of you guys help me find the underwear song that defined my childhood?

- Nah, this was a song that was 100% made for children. I am sure I would not like it as an adult.

Can it be this?

Bump

"The Day The Music Died" is about being wedgied.

When were you a really little kid?
- The 00's. Specifically between 02 and 08. Probably between 05 and 08. Looking back on it, this was also the period of time that my dad had introduced me to MCR and and other emo stuff he was into

Honestly, I had a game like this I couldn’t find, and ChatGPT figured it out in 2 messages.
- Half of my vocab gets stuck on the tip of my tongue, LLMs come in really handy for figuring out the word I'm looking for
- I had a similar, but not quite the same story. Explained the basic premise of a show from my childhood using a few key words and it pointed me to a completely different show. However, it used a name for one character that reminded me of the actual name for the character. Very weird but still very helpful!
  So even though it didn't answer my question, it pointed me in the right direction.

I know it's not this, I know... but is it this?
- No.

- AI doesn't know this one. Probably because it is not talked about enough in the available sources. If the answer is in there, it would take a lot more tweaking and peripheral information to coax out the answer.
  I tried several large models I have running on my own hardware (8×7B). Based on the perplexing, it has no clue and gives invalid results with botg deterministic and nondeterministic tokenizer settings.
  
  Wasn’t claiming it knew it. Was just giving input trying to help the poster find the song he’s looking for. It’s not that deep.
