Bobo Bojangles - I Think I Just Shit In My Pants 

Did this reach number two? 😆

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

Music can be learned, but real soul songs like this, they run in your jeans

This particular trend in music has significantly reduced my maturity level. I'm down to about age 9 now.

When this hit the "dance floor" people were slipping and sliding everywhere.

The teenagers today just don't understand what good music is.

Hi, this is Casey Kasem and we're looking back at another greatest shit from 1962 when Bobo Bojangles' "I Think I Just Shit In My Pants" went all the way to number 2 on the sharts.

My grandfather requested this to be played at his funeral. It was beautiful.

No autotune, no half naked dancers, just real talent. If Bobo was around today, he'd wipe up the competition.

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

When I lost my first job in 1974 this was playing on the radio on the long ride home. It explained my entire situation

who is still listening to this in 2024? they dont make music like this anymore

RIP Bobo. You were so full of life. And shit.

When you're happy, you enjoy the music. When you're depressed, you understand the lyrics.

Played this at my wedding. brings back a lot of memories running through my mind .... and down my legs.

My parents dancing to this this in the kitchen with all of us kids. Brings a tear to my eyes..

The dance that went along with it was insane

Now this is the ONLY kind of A.I generated music that should be allowed to exist. The creative effort behind this is remarkable.

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.

My great aunt, Bernadette Ruckers dated him and his brother, Dodo back in the 50s. She got around a lot. Poor woman died from untreated syphilis and ruptured hemorrhoids. RIP Aunt Bernadette “Burnie” Ruckers

His face says it 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.

Who can honestly say - hand on heart - that they haven't been to the bingo on a Saturday and had an unfortunate incident while talking to a nice girl ?

Recommended Bobo's music to a coworker. She immediately searched it up and read the title of this song out loud. Bypassers gave her an odd look. Good times.

Who's still listening in 2024?

Better than 98% of the songs today

How can you not click on this. It checks all the boxes.

I bet the kids that listened to this in the 60s find it more relatable than ever in 2024.

It flushed all the competition

Thats when good old times gave us so beautiful music ! 0% Nudity 0% Drugs 0% Autotune 0% Violence 100 % Shit On Pants !

Bobo was a legend back in the day. He literally prolapsed his soul onto the stage in every show.

Without bobo bojangles, rock wouldn't be what it is today

This was my parents wedding song and they made us listen to it every. single. anniversary...

Growing up listening to this song made me the man I am today.

I have this on repeat in my work truck. Just the other day I lived this song .

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.

it's a crime that this guy isn't in the rock n roll hall of fame

Bobo always sang from the bottom of his heart.

True classics never go out of style.

Good morning sirs! This song v popular in India 🇮🇳

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!

This song wiped everyone's ass off the charts in the fall of 1964. Amazing!

My uncle is the drummer. Bobo was a prolific songwriter and should've won a Grammy.

This song is long overdue from winning a Grammy it deserves to win.

My lovely wife Etta and I would have been married 63 years this summer. Lost her to digestive complications in May of 2018. She loved this song, and it brings tears to my eyes hearing it now again all these years later! God Bless you 🙏

"What did I expect after eating that beef, now the smell of my poop is all over my cheeks" may be, perhaps, the most introspective line I've heard in all my years 😢 such talent

Oh my God. I have found the ultimate rabbit hole. I'm gonna be here for a while.

My great grandma was the lovely lady he was with. She told this story around the Christmas tree every year.

Thank god copies of this survived. I heard the master tape got wiped.

I haven't laughed so hard in years at both the song & the clever comments.

We need to share this song far and wide, make it have a million views! Take that record companies!

I remember when this song first dropped.

This was a massive hit on UK 'Top of the Plops'

This greatest sHit reached number 2 on the sharts.

“It’s gotta be, I know it’s in there.” 😂

Listening to this while shitting my pants for the ultimate experience.

I like that the cover photo catches the exact moment of the song's occurrence. Those are crapping-your-pants-eyes!

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!

Finally, someone who understands the influence that Bobo Bojangles has had on modern music.

This is the best song I've ever heard about shitting one's pants

My grandfather was conceived to this song. Thanks for uploading!

I saw Bobo perform this on Hullabaloo! when I was a youngster. I can still see those go-go dancers doing the pony to this.

What a wonderful romantic night out it must have been for the lady accompanying him.

BEST RHYTHM AND POOS...

Real artists sing timeless lyrics that can be appreciated throughout all eras. Thank you Bobo Bojangles, you are immortal in my heart.

Record label: "that's not what we meant by 'can you scat on your next record'?"

Its great to see people still have a sense of humor in this way too serious world we are subjected to .

This song straight flushed the competition.

I'm going to have this played at my funeral.

The Beatles tried recording this in the British vernacular in 1964 for the home audience but "shit in my trousers" didn't have much of a ring to it.

*"ODOR IN THE COURT!"*

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 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.

Why am I cracking up so hard at the horns gotta be the brownest sound I ever heard

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.

Back when music really had genuine emotions and feelings.

I laughed so hard i almost shit my pants!

True Motown genius right there. Bobo Bojangles is underrated and deserves wider recognition.

I remember my uncle always used to play this at family bbqs good memories

This had a long streak on the charts

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.

My late wife loved his music. Thanks for uploading - I think about her every day.

Why was my generation denied this gem!? Thanks youtube, my 12 year old will be in tears 😂.

I love how genuinely concerned he sounds at the end.

I had the pleasure of seeing him live back in 1968. Amazing rhythm.

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

We danced and fell in love listening to this song

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!

Recorded in Flushing, New York.

Amazing how this song transcends generations, could've been made today and we'd all be able to relate

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.

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.

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.

Bobo made it to number two on the Billboard sharts. Amazing song. Back in the day we all danced the chocolate slide to this.

Remember in 1965 when he performed this on Hollywood Palace? The host that week was none other than the incomparable Phyllis Diller. Diller was actually part of the act; she was off on the side of the stage, awkwardly doing the latest teenage dances for laughs. What wasn't part of the act was Bojangles' actual sudden attack of diarrhea so explosive that the flow instantly ripped a hole in his clothing, spewing an unholy faucet of goopy stink fluid all over the stage. The puddle quickly reached Phyllis Diller in the middle of doing the pony, and she slid around the stage, waving her arms like a surfer, yelling "WhoooOOOOOAAAAAAAaaaaaHHHHHhhhhh!!!!" as she struggled to maintain her balance. At the end of the song, Diller took the mic and said, "Whoo! It's a good thing I wasn't wearing my fuzzy slippers tonight!" and exchanged lively banter with Bojangles for a moment. Class acts and consummate professionals, the two of them were. People today get offended when they slip in other people's 'rhea puddles.

I can’t get this song out of my head!

I was honored to have him sign his autograph onto the vinyl! that era of soul will never be met with the same energy! These kids don’t understand …

This song brings back so many memories. Kind of brings a tear to my eyes when I think about how dad would open up the old cabinet type stereo and sort through his 45s until he found this one and put it on the turntable for us kids to dance to. I would walk around the house singing it constantly.

I used to dance the "chocolate mashed potato" when this song came on the radio

the ‘woos’ are so convincing. another masterpiece! 😂
