Bobo Bojangles was positioned to be one of the most celebrated soul singers in history when "I Think I Just Shit In My Pants" was released. People found his relatable lyrics and courage to be vulnerable refreshing in a time when so many artists were listening to record labels and putting on a front. He sang from the heart about real life problems and his talent was undeniable. Unfortunately, he died a few weeks after the song became a number 1 hit in Germany from a severe case of constipation.
Did this reach number two? 😆

When he sang this on Ed Sullivan, they made him change the lyric to "shit in my slacks."

This was my first concert. Bobo in my high school Feb. 1965. We shit our pants when this song came along. The whole place stank!
RIP Bobo. You were so full of life. And shit.
My grandpa always said that it was a crying shame that he died in the prime of his career. At least he died doing what he loved-His body was discovered in a public toilet, and this song was played at his funeral. It’s what he would’ve wanted
Music can be learned, but real soul songs like this, they run in your jeans
Who's still listening in 2024?
This has Inspired me to just let it go anytime, anywhere.
That depends😂
Not only listening. The whole family is singing along!
I am
How in the hell could I have been alive this long and not heard this
The dance that went along with it was insane
They say every time he performed on stage he wasn't actually dancing.
My grandfather requested this to be played at his funeral. It was beautiful.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 😀😂😎😁🇺🇸

The teenagers today just don't understand what good music is.
😂
😂
😂😂😂
Yes, it’s something with a primitive rhythm, a lot of foul language and promoting recreational drugs.
i understand what good music is: 1. no autotune (just real voices only) 2. no computers (just real instruments only) 3. no repetitive lyrics
Very few people knows that Bobo was the first to divide into "floaters" and "sinkers". Today, it´s a daily routine to everybody so when suitable, send Bobo a nice thankful thought. You may realize that it wasn´t only Bobo´s music that was waaaay ahead of his time, Bobo was more than so.. True artist!! Rgr
My grandfather was conceived to this song. Thanks for uploading!
His face says it all...
No autotune, no half naked dancers, just real talent. If Bobo was around today, he'd wipe up the competition.
As well as his A$$, maybe?
It would be safe to say that he would shit on the competition
>no autotune I was wondering why the signing was all out of tune. Maybe they should have used it
He would want to WIPE his bum.
Its deuces to those other "singers" if Bobo were here
When I lost my first job in 1974 this was playing on the radio on the long ride home. It explained my entire situation
😂 I can’t believe this is real
Your shituation?

Bobo was part of an underground music scene known simply as "The Movement".

What planet were you on back then? There was plenty of all that. Even more than now in the case of sex and nudity. It was the time of free love, after all. Or, does it just seem that way cuz I'm old now and don't get it as much anymore? I do admit that I missed out on the concept of bootycalls. That would have saved me countless hours and dollars. No autotune though. That's the best part.
Bobo certainly earned the title of the Hardest-Sharting Man in Show Business Mad props, Godfather You should also check out Rick Beato ripping all the modern day pretenders whose pants-shitting music is such a far cry from the hot, steaming original material.

Now this is the ONLY kind of A.I generated music that should be allowed to exist. The creative effort behind this is remarkable.
Sure it does. Profanity in anything sells it, and it's okay anymore where people had more Respect just 50 years or even less ago!
I’m all for sophomoric, scatological humor if it’s funny but this… decidedly not. Throw in that thumbnail and it really reads as borderline racist. And, actually, no AI generated music is acceptable.

By definition. Sung by a guy of a particular race. Word, y'all

The year was 1964. The Beatles had taken America by storm. Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali… and an unknown vocal behemoth named Bobo Bojangles would go on to release THE song of the year. “I Think I Just Shit In My Pants” spent 26 weeks at the top of the sharts after debuting at #2. In an interview in Rolling Stone Magazine, budding singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell said, “At first I thought the tune was a little corny, but when I watched Bobo perform and saw how loose and free flowing he was, well…. I think I may have shit in my pants a little too.” In fact, It’s long been rumored that Joni’s 1974 hit “Help Me”, was really written for the enigmatic Bojangles. Bobo would eventually find struggles later on in his career. He found himself mostly an opening act rather than a headliner. And despite addictions to Ex Lax and Pepto Bismol, Bobo always did his headliners a solid by performing his big hit with gusto and in some occasions, with a pinch of steaminess. Sadly Bobo passed away in 1993 due to “forced straining”. He was inturd at The Aw Man Who Died In Here?!?!?! Cemetery in Flushing New York.
You are so wrong for "inturd" LMAO
Bobo fell on hard times as many talented forward thinking performers do. He auditioned for some toilet paper commercials, butt he had stiff competition from an aspiring young Mr. Wipple. This caused Bobo to lose control and skid out of control. Bono felt overlooked stating, " I have what it takes! My talents well up from deep within...generously sourced talent is being merely wiped out by this toilet paper squeezing underling!" Bono found relief by taking on work in the hemmoroid cream industry along with some underwear modelling. He now lives a rather comfortable lifestyle in the adult diaper market.
"...top of the sharts." Bravo. +1
Of course buried in Flushing!
I heard he cleared out the Ed Sullivan Theater when he performed this song. Sullivan later told the New York Times reporter, "It was a realllleeee big shit....I mean show."
Thank god copies of this survived. I heard the master tape got wiped.
It was reviewed in the Wiper's Times when it was first released! It scored a number two on their poll of the greatest tunes ever! Number one didn't really have the same effect on the reviewers, I feel. Who needs to hear about someone 'p-ing' the night away when you've got this instead! (Reference to Chumbawumba - Tubthumping).

@@poly_g6068 lol
After the kids left for college and the house was empty, my wife and I would often roll back the rug and dance to this on a Saturday night. She passed away in 2017. I miss her every day.
This song wiped everyone's ass off the charts in the fall of 1964. Amazing!
I haven't laughed so hard in years at both the song & the clever comments.
It flushed all the competition
The critics all agreed that this song "stunk up the airwaves"

Indeed. It's quite profound.
DEEP......deep doo doo.
Bobo Bojangles, born Isaac Benjamin Scott (1915-1968) Was a turn of the century artist who turned his chronic IBS into a musical sensation! Born in Butts, Georgia, Bobo would first work in food service at local clubs before being fired for his constant soilings. Facing constant fecal frustrations, he turned to songwriting, and one day at Britche’s Studio, Bobo would go on to release the popular “I think I just shit in my pants” becoming an overnight sensation. Bobo would go on to release many other hit singles, and even collaborate with popular rock icon Chuck Berry. Fame would not last though, as Bobo Bojangles’ career would end after pissing himself at the Montgomery mess hall in 1967. Almost a full year later, Bobo Bojangles would end up “shitting in his pants” one last time, as he died on his porcelain throne in his home on Aug.4,1968. His only son, Duke Scott would inherit the Bobo Bojangles estate.
Bobo was a legend over here in the UK, The people's Jimi Hendrix
@@Dryhten1801 Bobo is sooo easy to relate to, shitting, pissing.... A big part of everybody´s life, innit?? Rgr
Better than 98% of the songs today
I like that the cover photo catches the exact moment of the song's occurrence. Those are crapping-your-pants-eyes!
“It’s gotta be, I know it’s in there.” 😂
I can’t get this song out of my head!
This was a massive hit on UK 'Top of the Plops'
lmao
Also on Ready Steady Go with Cathy McGoing
It was a massive sh!t on the floor at sock hops across middle America too..
It was featured on The Old Brown Whistle Test too.
True classics never go out of style.
This greatest sHit reached number 2 on the sharts.
Bobo was one of the best to come out of Memphis. Saw him in Concert in New Orleans summer 1969. I had just gotten home from Vietnam. God bless all my brothers out there who served.
I came from a poor village in the North of England and I remember well when the song was released back in 1964. Bonjangles was a hero to us working-class northern kids because like him, we had just shat in our pants.
Well! Youse was lucky! We, dudnt even have pants to shart in, let alone sh*t in! But, it were a different time back then, in them dark days.
Nice conjugatin' there
So relatable. It doesn't matter who you are.
Amazing how this song transcends generations, could've been made today and we'd all be able to relate
Real artists sing timeless lyrics that can be appreciated throughout all eras. Thank you Bobo Bojangles, you are immortal in my heart.
I think I found a song to slip into songs I play when other people are in my car or when people are over. See if they notice!
It is the funniest moment ever when someone realizes what they are hearing
Heh heh...how mischievous...🙂

This song straight flushed the competition.
Its great to see people still have a sense of humor in this way too serious world we are subjected to .
What's humorous about this song? It's about a profound personal tragedy Bobo suffered.
As a former alcoholic, these are things that keep me sober! When it reaches your brand new Jordan shoes, you know what its like to scream the poo blues. It's always cold too!
Listening to this while shitting my pants for the ultimate experience.
😂😂😂
just blew a snot bubble laughing at your comment!
I woke up with awful stomach pains and this was suggested to me as soon as I opened KZhead. I got about 20 seconds in and the little chuckle I did was enough to stir whatever strange brew had been coagulating in my guts. Let's just say I walked very stiff-legged to the washroom. It exploded out of me as soon as I sat down. Close call.
‘Wooooooohooooo y’all’!!!!
Now THAT’S what I call, 360° Surround Sound … Wooh-wee …
Finally, someone who understands the influence that Bobo Bojangles has had on modern music.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live back in 1968. Amazing rhythm.
I met my first wife at the Brockway Roller Rink in 1964. This song was playing. For the next 17 years, we would dance to this song on our anniversary until she passed away tragically in 1981 from a spelunking accident at the Eben Ice Caves. R.I.P. my sweet Myrtle.

That's so funny and original. I laughed just as much as the first five hundred times that Kimmel- aka Mr. Plaque Phase-said it. But, of course, projectors gonna project.
I love the way Bobo looks . His eyes poke out like he’s being constantly choked or is suffering from a strangulated hernia. I also like the way one eye looks one way and the other looks another.

Bobo Bojangles spoke directly to the man in the street.
Which one?
When Bobo hit the floor, you knew it would hit the fan! Some lucky fans were hit with it. They would save those clothes and treasure them. Recently, a well-preserved, properly sealed dress, saving stain and scent, went for above £ two million at a Southabeez auction in London to an anonymous buyer. Did Bobo fake his passing?
Record label: "that's not what we meant by 'can you scat on your next record'?"
the ‘woos’ are so convincing. another masterpiece! 😂
Back when Music truly made you feel something deep within yourself !
Makes your guts bubble and your feet move
They had this song on repeat in every Bojangles restaurant, the best memories of my childhood in the ‘80’s are crispy delicious fried chicken, and singing this song all day afterwards because it’s so catchy.
Did the chicken make you shit in your pants?
Notice how they didn't serve the beef?
Bobo made it to number two on the Billboard sharts. Amazing song. Back in the day we all danced the chocolate slide to this.
Today, the twilight zone became confirmed as my reality. Thank you for your service
My husband, Rufus, may God rest his soul, had the honor of having Bobo play at our wedding 57 years ago where he sung his then hit "I Think I Just Shitted the Altar". One of our bridesmaids ran off with Bobo on that night, never heard from her after that. I heard he ended up leaving her stranded with 2 natural kids and 3 stepchildren in Florida.

Back in the day, my uncle introduced us to this remarkable record. Its refined lyrics and irresistible rhythm had a profound impact on our entire family. Even grandma couldn't resist playing the song every Christmas, as it became an enduring favorite. The younger generation may struggle to comprehend, but that era was characterized by a sense of decency and sophistication in music. The true artistry lay in the subtle nuances of the lyrics, devoid of the obscenities that plague today's singers.
This had a long streak on the charts
No.2 for a long time
They play this a lot at my grandpa's nursing home.
Sig tune for House of Lords...
Mine too, they're always walking around singing that chorus to themselves. Honestly it's amazing this never charted.
Back when music really had genuine emotions and feelings.
Just the feeling was warm and lumpy...
As well as genuine urgency.
‘Motions’…
Back when music was played by human beings, you mean.
You mean genuine MOTIONS😂😂😂😂
I remember when this song first dropped.
I used to dance the "chocolate mashed potato" when this song came on the radio
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was performing elective surgery on conjoined twins. I was attempting to add a third sibling to the mix. It was a disaster. None of them would hold still with no anesthesia. Anyways, this song got me through that bad day.

We danced and fell in love listening to this song

My life is complete! Thank the lord jesus for Bobo Bojangles!
I sang this to my daughter all the time as a little girl. It was her bed time lullaby. I did it in a sort of a folk way on the guitar so she would get tired, carried away by the poetry and lyrical genius of the limerick. Ahh the 70s...
From the bowels of our music vault.....another almost forgotten classic.
Back in the 80's when I was a teenager my buddy Leroy had an uncle named Lamont who used to sing this song all the time when he was drunk. He also did a funky dance to it. We would be ROFL. One day when uncle Lamont was sober we asked him about the song and then he told us it's real and it's from the 1960's. He said the writer/singer Bobo Bojangles didn't get to reap the benefits of his hit and how he tragically died shortly after this song was released. RIP Bobo Bojangles🙏
I don't believe you.
@@burningdaylights LOL. I was thinking the same thing. No one knows this song 😂😂
How did he die?
I actually heard BoBO's estate is suing the James Brown estate for other songs allegedly stolen from his catalogue. RIP BOBO!!!
