- After his earlier success with songs based on similar themes, ‘Can’t Believe I Pissed My Pants’ found Bobo treading familiar ground with his unique brand of floor-filling soul music. Copies of this record have been difficult to find - this one was discovered in the ‘used’ section of a record shop in Bonn under the floorboards.
"Saturday, at the Bingo club
I been drinking 16 hours straight" is possibly the hardest opening I've ever heard in a song
That was from Bobo's often-neglected later period
Right before The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin 'discovered' him
This guy's laundry bill must be astronomical! Good ol Bobo is always doing something in his pants!
He was given the advice to pull them off, but Bobo being Bobo saw the potential in keeping them on. Clever move!!! Rgr
Sometimes even doing things in OTHER people's pants!
Luckily Bobo later experienced that adult diapers exist ;-)
I'm 87 years old and I remember this song and man what a beautiful night. Dancing with a pretty girl and I pissed in my pants... but I kept dancing.....by myself. 😕
Awww poor baby
Bobo really had a knack for turning his bladder incontinence issues into charting #1 hits of his day. The world may never see another star that shines half as bright as his but it's some comfort knowing that he's with his lady in that big beautiful bingo club in the sky.
Yea who can forget his hit “I think I just shit in my pants”
Erey time it rains I think it's Bobo pissin frum Heaven! Bless you, beautiful thoughts!
@@RandumYTenjoyer05 That song ended up being the #2 rated song by Casey Kasem American To 40.
did piss his pants while eating a muller rice google is asking
I can relate, after being diagnosed with bladder cancer
Bobo's voice is as strong as ever here. I remember the good old days when his songs were on regular rotation at the club.
The Bingo club?
When he responds his constant physiologic's calls, he sings like an animal
The voice of a generation
The voice of an older incontinent generation
The undisputed king of the incontinence genre, nobody comes close.
Master of his Domain.
The "I'm a wet disgrace like a tramp in France" lyrics were inspired by my ex after spending the night with Bobo Bojangles and the band one night on our trip to France. She said that as she was leaving the band's tour bus.
Rumor has it, Bobo looked up with a big grin and said, "I'm a wet disgrace like a tramp in France. I can dig it!"
And the legend lives on.....
That poor bingo club. So much happens there. They need multiple janitors
They need to have a drink limit there or something?
Larger bathrooms would be good (or play bingo inside it, maybe)
yeah google by the looks of the bingo kitchen cleaners hair she looks like she been drincking the bleach cleaner
If you go to Bingo halls you know that half the people there can't figure out why their socks are wet.
Bingo club janitor is not for the faint of hearted.....
“I’m a wet disgrace, like a tramp in France”, and “The pool formed on the dance floor, proof of my evil deed. My shoes were overflowing, Oh Lord when will I be free”…
Those lines are like sweet, sweet honey from the bingo club restaurant… Lordy B Gordy, Bobo Has Done It Again, Another Hit Single!!!
My daughter and I both have an anxiety thing so I called her and played this song then said her "When you're having a bad day Darlin' I want you listen to this song and spare a thought for poor Bobo and what he went through that day" :)
Bobo… his life story, the motion picture, will be good.
@@jamesdavis5096 An epic tale for sure. I can't wait to see what else happened down at the Bingo club.
When is that film coming out, I’m a huge Bobo Bojangles fan. Please let me know when that movie comes out.
@@jamesdavis5096Will there be a Broadway musical about this, too?
His voice has so much emotion, you can tell hes lived and suffered.
You do know this is fake I hope?
@@deetimeless5836 its not, I owned this record back in the early 60s
That's why his music resonates , we've all been there.
Rest in piss, King Bojangles. Glad I got to see him live when I was a kid.
😂😂😂 good1
"I'm a wet disgrace lika a tramp from France".... Regarded by many as one of( if not) the greatest lines from any popular song ever.. Lennon & Mc Cartney cited Bobo as a huge influence on their songwriting and the inspiration for much of the Sgt Peppers Album. Indeed the likes of Jagger & Richards, the BeeGees, Burt Bacharach & Hal David and many more have all sang his praises..even upto the present day his influence is still there for all to hear. Indeed Taylor Swift on the release if her new album said.." Whos Bobo Bojangles?"...such is his legacy.😮
😂👍
We're Sgt Poopers lonely fart club band...
I'm 124 years young and man, this really brings me back to my sweet, sweet middle age.....
Topping the charts with their No.1 hit...
Making a massive splash on the music scene
Flooding the airwaves, running hot to the dance floor...
😂
Back in the 1960s I could never get into Bobo's output. But in 2024, now I'm in my mid-70s, I really identify with his songs.
“Can’t believe I pissed my pants”, oh we can, Bobo, we can.
I remember hearing this song on the dance floor in 1972 for my prom. Fun times!
I remember this number fondly as well as its B-side, “All Poo Poo Times Are Pee Pee Times”
Lol
That bingo hall was just brutal... not even beef this time! But he finally made it to no 1!
😂
God bless Bobo. If he's not pissing and shitting in his pants, he's barfing in the car.
And shitting off the dock of the bay.
And gluing his balls to his butthole
@@IcOmEiNpEaCe333🎵Wasting his time…🎵
I remember seeing Bobo back in 66 at a small Chicago club on Brown Street. People were doing the yellow slide on the dance floor and you could smell the performance right as you opened the door. Bobo was singing so hard that he sharted himself several times!
The voice of my generation
I remember having R and R in China Beach. Just barbecuing, drinking beer, and enjoying our soldiers' camaraderie on a break from the fighting. This song was the backdrop during my Vietnam tours in 68-69.
This was unironically a good jam
Thanks - it's probably my favourite of Bobo's recently discovered records
Sometimes, when I'm feeling down, I think of all the suffering and hard times that Bobo went through in his life, and how all those terrible experiences inspired this beautiful music, and it makes it all just a little bit easier.
I cant believe radio stations all over the world slept on this evergreen
It`s a wonder he was never banned from that bingo club.
Plot twist: he owned it.
His soulful songs about his shenanigans endear him to getting banned
He use to work at a bingo club and talked to manager one day and said he wanted to own it but the manager fired him because of Bobos arguing and never was invited to that bingo club again
I love Bobo Bojangles. It's so brave to sing things like this with pride.
This is when music told stories 🎶
You can’t find an artist today that sings with such passion and emotion.
Bobo Bojangles sings that he's never drinking whiskey again, but he'll be marinading beef with Jack Daniels before we know it.
💀
I am really enjoying all these songs I’m finding on UA-cam. Glad people still have a sense of humor.😅
This single was vital to his comeback from the dark days of litigation over his alleged plagiarizing of Shitting off the Dock of the Bay. Bobo was again at the top of his game. A welcome relief to all of his fans.
Say, didn't that song have a fart solo near the end?
I broke my ankle, and this dance floor stinks. rhymes perfectly
Bobo came from a time when music really mattered
Most definitely, it's like after the 70s , a few good tracks in the 80s, I liked Kool & the Gang but after that I saw the Soul fading from Black music it seemed like the only one left was James Brown
ironically, years later, he would go on to turn down a multi-million dollar spokesman position for Adult Diapers... he had too much integrity.
Bobo was so hip; peeing his pants and wiping out in it - add in some soulful horn arrangements and you got a number one hit. You can really hear how the bingo club was beginning to wreck his life when this one came out - that place was a real monkey on his back, man. 24/7 The stories are pretty legendary - just like the music.
I have to assume that the Bobo was a huge inspiration for creating Depends.
Bobo Bojangles had a long, lucrative career as the spokesperson for Depends undergarments. His catchy tunes were frequently featured in many of their advertisements.
True treasures from a forgetting era. Bobo is a legend of the piss and shit genre.
It's a shame that it was only #1 in his pants, not on the charts.
I met Bobo a long time ago after one of his concerts at a secret ghetto club in Cleveland as we were both taking a wiz. I can't believe he pissed on my hands.
I remember it well, you, me n Bobo were line abreast at the communal urinal and all three streams ceremonially merged together, as one, in the run off channel.
Do you recall the oath-bond that he decreed? ;
''...From this day forth nothing will come between us for we three are now piss-brothers...''
Love you man, keep in touch.
@@waynesimpson2074 you know how some people are bonded by blood? Well, me, you and Bobo were bonded by pee. Piss happens.
Soiling yourself is the center space on the bingo card
Following through from "I Think I Shit in my pants" "I cant believe i pissed my pants" went kinda cold shortly after its release.
Been a fan of this tune ever since hearing it on TP’s Buried Treasure Show on Sirius
Bobo was literally the shit back in the day. I wish he was still making these songs about all the problems we used to run into at the bingo club.
Listened to this on a walk yesterday, and it was an amazing experience! But, you know, still waiting to hear this on Spotify.
I REALLY loved Bobo's cameo part in The Blues Brothers. Was nice to see Dan Aykroyd give a prominent voice of Soul a part amongst other Soul and Blues legends. The fact that they made Bobo's part him leaving a Bingo place eating some beef off a plate was such a good easter egg.
Remember his early 90’s comeback song “Too Legit to Shit”?
🤣
We need a whole album of these in their full version. They are good songs! I'm gonna make sure they play them next time I am at the bingo hall.
Soul has a first and last name -and that name is Bobo Bojangles! 🎉
Golden Shower Oldies Volume Two!
He sings about pour daily problems. I love Bobo Bojangles🎉
Always a source of inspiration at the Bingo Club for cousin Bobo . I love him so much . ❤❤❤
My grandmother said this was my great grandmother's favorite song, and is the song she listened to while first making iut with my great grandfather
Always a favourite on a sunny morning, after the all nighters. When we turned Wigan swimming baths yellow!
Next upload should be all of the bobo songs in existence with the bootleg as a demo
Set list:
1. I think I just shit in my pants
2. I'm sorry I threw up in your back seat

Demo: The bootleg:This shit again
so glad the Bobo archive has been found and restored
Just heard Bobo Bojangles has been introduced into the rock and roll hall of fame and this classic track is now in the library of congress.
It’s always at the bingo clubs that get too lit. Especially on a Saturday
I hope you can find the song Bingo Club Janitor Blues. 😂
I just remembered to water the plants
This song makes me feel warm all over...kind of like pissing my pants.
My grandparents got married to this classic🍻RIP
I used to listen this on gramophone back in the 60's
Someone should tell Bobo that drinking whiskey for 16 hours might not be a good idea. And the F in the window of the place where he gets beef means it failed the health inspection. Poor Bobo, never learned to read.
My new favourite song❤
I remember when the Stones opened for Bobo at the Boston Tea Party! Stones were boos off the stage!!
That Bingo Club brings out the worst in Bobo
KTF!!! Northen Soul lives on .
Huge part of the Northern Soul craze over here too. I'd heard Geno Washington was planning to cover this, but someone talked him out of it.
Damn Bobo, from either shitting his pants, to now pissing his pants. He done came and went at the same time.
As the DJ cued up ‘Can’t Believe I Pissed My Pants’ by Bobo Bojangles, my heart raced. There we were, my wife and I, on the dance floor. The disco ball above us spun, casting shimmering lights across the room. Our friends and family watched, their eyes wide with curiosity. Now, let me be clear: I’m no John Travolta. My dance moves usually resemble a cross between a startled chicken and a malfunctioning robot. But this was our wedding day, and I was determined to make it memorable. As the beat dropped, my wife grinned, her eyes sparkling. She swayed to the music, her laughter contagious. I took a deep breath and attempted a hip wiggle. It was more like a hip dislocation, but she laughed even harder. We twirled, stumbled, and bumped into other guests. The lyrics-‘I can’t believe I pissed my pants, but it felt so right’-echoed in my head. It was absurd, ridiculous, and utterly perfect. Our dance wasn’t graceful or elegant, but it was ours. We laughed until tears streamed down our faces. And in that moment, surrounded by love and laughter, I realized that life was too short to worry about looking cool
So, here’s to our first dance-a hilarious memory etched in our hearts forever. And to Bobo Bojangles, wherever you are, thanks for providing the soundtrack to our wonderfully awkward love story!
♥️🙏👏😂
I want to believe this story is true so much it's unreal 😂 Even if it isn't this comment has made my day, thank you 🙏
Literally the exact same thing happened to me at my wedding.
Wait… are we married?
Wow what a story!! Bobby Bobo Bojangles is a true superstar.
I sang this song in 4th grade in the bathroom after the cafeteria when i actually did
100% playing this at my friends wedding
😂
@@forgotten_vinylits a legit banger. “I need a toooooowel, and some cleeean dry paaaaants!” The authenticity, the relatable position he’s in, the fact he asked for an ambulance in the song… so much emotion… he didnt even get no beef man…
Gold, Jerry! Gold!
brings a tear to my coolbox
I thought this would go down the shitter. But no ! Bobo turned this into a hit !!
Bobo had some serious toilet issues, no wonder he died of dehydration at the ripe old age of 23, R.I.P.
It was a sad life, but like Robert Johnson, Jim Morrison, Hank Williams, etc...... he was a tortured soul!
This was Bobo's first number one. His other selections, such as a ''I Think I Just Shit in My Pants, 'A Shit Has Gotta Come' and 'How Did I Shit in Your Pants' were all number twos.
Bravo 👏👌
Bobo and his music speaks to the souls of millions and millions.
I was conceived to this
Somebody give that janitor at the Bingo Club a raise!
Before we had blood on the dancefloor, we had piss on the dancefloor.
🔥
🎙️
🎶
She asked me if I wanted to dance, I said hell no I'm gonna piss my pants
Certified HIT!!!!
Poor Bobo was over-served. That bingo club needs a new bartender.
I still can't believe he died in 2017 from drowning in his toilet. One of the artists of all time, we'll never forget you Bobo 😢 #DicksoutforBojangles ❤
Ahhhh Motown's forgotten hero.....
And they thought the hottest album drop of 2024 would be Taylor Swift.
I believe this Bobo hit made it to #1!
I guess he never expected a number #1!!😀
Great news!!!!! Joe Biden just announced this as his campaign theme song!!!!! In the news release he referred to his days in Scranton listening to Bobo's music and only hoping that he could live up to his standards of bodily functions!!!!! Well done Joe, you certainly have achieved a high level of incontinence!!!!!!
Classic.
I remember I had a rare cover version of this by Don ‘no soul’ Simmonds on a k-tel soul compilation album from Woolworths in about ‘75. Must admit Bojangles version is better
