"S.I.M.P. (Squirrels In My Pants)" is a rap/hip-hop song performed in "Comet Kermillian" by a group of rapping street performers called 2 Guyz N the Parque in the Danville Park. The song is improvised when Candace passes by the group, struggling to get two squirrels out of her jeans. Immediately before, Suzy had used a croquet mallet to shoot an acorn into her jeans and the squirrels followed the acorn.
Lines in parentheses in all versions are sung at the same time as the line above it.

Background Information[]
- In "Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown", "S.I.M.P. (Squirrels In My Pants)" was the 5th favorite song chosen by Phineas and Ferb fans.
- The extended version of the song contains new animation made just for the episode. (Candace's nose changes from its season one black outline to its season two brown outline.)
- The song was heard in Disney's Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour Ever!, and also was used in the Phineas and Ferb's Rockin' Rollin' Dance Party show at Disney California Adventure.
- "S.I.M.P. (Squirrels In My Pants)" is also one of the eight songs that was re-released in the Phineas and Ferb Karaoke Soundtrack.
- The song is on the video game Just Dance Disney Party and uses the extended version of the song for game play. Phineas, Ferb and 2 Guyz in the Parque appear in the background of the dancers.
- The whole song, Candace is "dancing" to try and get the squirrels in her jeans out of them, but the street performers interpreted it as she was dancing, during the song. At the end, the squirrels jump out of her jeans and the Street Performers find that they have been "served." The street performers are "served" again twice later. The second by Candace again with skateboard moves on an ice cream cart, and the third time the street performers are "served" with steaks instead of a comeuppance.
- This may have been a parody to Goofy's music video in "Disney's House of Mouse" short "How to be a Rockstar" in which the song's lyrics consist mainly of the word "squirrel".
- One of the street performers appeared again in the songs "Come Home Perry", "Ain't No Kiddie Ride", "Gimme a Grade", and "Candace Party".
- One of the background singers is Vanessa's friend Dana.
- The words "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" were previously used in "Charmed Life".
- The naming of the song may have come from the song "S.M.P." by Goldfinger.
- In a video on NBA.com, the music for the highlights reel is "Squirrels in My Pants".
- In Take Two with Phineas and Ferb, Regis Philbin sings a version of this song.
- Candace has her teeth gritted for almost the whole song.
- One of the street performers can be seen sitting next to Candace on the Mix and Mingle Machine before it starts in a later episode. He and another street performer appear later in the song during the grid of people. He was also in "Let's All Dance Until We're Sick", "Come Home Perry". Most of the dancers appeared in "Real Boy" ("Cheer Up Candace", "Nerdy Dancin'", "Oh, There You Are, Perry", "A Real Boy").
- After the other sentences, "S-I-M-P, Squirrels in my Pants" is heard by the background singers.
- One of the performers can be seen in the far right during the chorus of "Gimme a Grade".
- In "Gimme a Grade", one of the bystanders can be seen. He makes numerous reappearances, including in "Not So Bad A Dad".
- At Comic-Con 2013, Dan Povenmire stated this song was written by taking practically every single word in the rhyming dictionary that rhymed with "pants".
- A snippet of this song is heard at the end of the Milo Murphy's Law episode "We're Going to the Zoo".
- The opening beat of the song can be heard in the penultimate scene of the Milo Murphy's Law episode "Milo's Shadow".
- This song was named #6 on MsMojo's Top 20 Best Phineas and Ferb Songs.[1]
Errors[]
- Near the end of the extended video when Candace does a handstand, her belly button is in her back.
- When Candace rides down the hill in the ice cream cart and crashes, she lifts up her head from inside the cart and is wearing her original outfit instead of the outfit she was wearing before that.
Continuity[]
- In "Wizard of Odd", Candace runs screaming from the flying squirrels, and her tone when she shouts "Squirrel! Squirrel!" matches the tone in which she shouts "Squirrels! Squirrels!" in the song.
- Heinz Doofenshmirtz mentions the lyric "How can I qualify for government grants?" and points out that it has nothing to do with the song in the Radio Disney Planet Premiere.
- The quote "Ain't got no chickens, ain't got no rats" may be a reference to the rat going into Doofenshmirtz's pants ("The Fast and the Phineas").
- A snippet of the song is heard in the "Foot Stomp Mash Up" in "Druselsteinoween".
