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.
