    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.

      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.

      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.

    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🙏

    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.

    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.

    It’s a crime Bobo isn’t in the ROCKNROLL hall of fame! But even more than that- his album artwork is incredible! The look on Bobos face that the artist captured on this one makes the Mona Lisa look like paint by number!!

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

    My sons wonder why they came home from school only to have this playing on the Bose system. Along with " l farted but it was liquid , and who could forget that 1963 classic by the " The Gleeful Dreamers " Thats a Fucking ugly baby ". Back when music was music and you could enjoy the lyrics as well as the beat. 😢😢😢 Sorry , i got caught up in the memories of years gone by .😪

      There are definitely some songs on this channel I wouldn’t play for anyone under 18, but as a parent I respect you for choosing the ones you did. Those are all fantastic songs that children should know and love.
