[My Shit Just Keeps Lifting Me] Higher And Higher (rare 1960's soul vinyl)

‘[My Shit Just Keeps Lifting Me] Higher And Higher’ was a minor hit for Bobo Bojangles in Norway in 1961. An uplifting tune detailing yet another of Bobo’s bizarre digestive episodes, later claims by record companies that it resembled any other hit songs were strongly refuted. This copy was found in a skip behind a grain storage facility in Gdańsk.

[@singthechanges82]

The sad thing about Bobo's genius is that it was the byproduct of a serious medical issue. It's equally sad to think that if he had had access to today's incontinence treatments back then, we never would have heard these amazing songs.

[@ScottyDNA]

Amen.

[@richjoebushcraft]

Crohn's is a helluva inspiration for such great masterpieces of musical genius.

[@Supahdave1000]

You know when Bobo drops one, he drops a BIG one.

[@PTP8712]

Jackie Wilson was Mr. Excitement. Bobo is Mr. Excrement!

[@titanqueen7217]

I think that my great aunt is the lady in this song. She said that she briefly dated Bobo in the tail end of the 50s, and that he pooped his pants right in front of her at the bingo club on their third date. Needless to say, she didn’t agree to any more dates with him

[@SilverTemplar]

Oh don't be ridiculous, Bobo shit himself on plenty of dates with women of all kinds in his heyday.

[@cafeinst]

The radio stations in the 1960s refused to play this gem because of the sensitive subject matter. Most people have never even heard of Bobo. A real shame because clearly Bobo was a musical genius.

[@jeffk7083]

Literally the only bingo club in existence placed on the EPA's Superfund Site list.

[@worldswatchdog]

After several weeks of severe constipation, Bobo dropped the biggest load of fecal matter ever seen at the bingo club and rode the wave of that shitnami inspiration once again all the way to number 2 in charts!

I was there that night at the Bingo Club with Bobo when this shit went down, er, I mean up. I was sitting at a table with my lovely lady right next to Bobo and his lovely lady. We were all eating beef sandwiches. All of us were talking but only Bobo's shit kept taking him higher and higher. The other three of us ain't never seen no shit like that before or since. Poor Bobo.

[@buckaroobonzai2909]

This is a metaphor for the success that Bobo has had in his craft. What a storyteller. I am crying.

[@FanaticFilmsINC-gh9ch]

He ALMOST went half a minute without mentioning beef this time. So close!

[@jesusnodal8948]

Another lost Motown classic!!

Bobo Bojangles started the great beef revolution of 1963. Beef sales went up 1729% after his bovine-related escapades.

He really must have loved eating at that Bingo club, to keep going back after getting food poisoning 500 times.

There is an inspirational message of the song. When bad shit happens at the Bingo club, don’t give up and let it get you down. Just lay low and you’ll be lifted higher.

[@jacobwiles8911]

The A side of the single was “I Just Can’t Shit In Peace” which was about the paparazzi wanting to ask questions to Bobo while he was shitting in the bathroom

[@SMcCord74]

Bobo struggled with a painful beef addiction his entire life.

[@jimmypenrose1401]

You can really hear the spirituality of Bobo in this one - this was a window into his soul. For Bobo the acronym BM always stood for Big Man - and this song tells that story. Both the Lord and bingo club beef move in mysterious ways.

[@daveweigel81]

Admit it. You kinda want to go to that bingo club.

[@davidhughes950]

I’m afraid I’ll get diarrhea though.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

Yes, but I'd order a salad and stay away from the beef.

[@DavidSush1]

I heard Bobo tried out for Parliament Funkadelic. Twenty seconds into his audition he took a big dump right in front of George Clinton. Dr. Funkenstein took a quick look at Bobo and his shit, held his nose and said to Bobo, "that ain't what I meant when I said get funky now!"

[@DavidSush1]

1.) I can't believe Bobo kept going back to that Bingo Club. 2.) I can't believe Bobo kept ordering the beef sandwich. 3.) I can't believe Bobo's fine lady kept putting up with his shit.

[@borano2031]

This is e v e r y b o d i e s music!! Just listen, bingo club, pants, a nice lady, beef and a crapful of shit!! And the crapful is lifting our Bobo higher and higher into a bright future, up, up and away! An early exposure of the American Family Values we see reflected in some modern American politicians today and we all know from whom they had their inspiration to start with..!!.. Rgr

[@1arjen8]

Such a relief to hear this classic again...

[@nickbisanz]

Bobo is just plain inspirational!

[@torsch69]

This song was written by Gary Jackson, Raynard Miner and Carl Smith for Jackie Wilson. Jackie rejected it, but Bobo was glad to take it as it fit in well with his motif.

I don’t think Bobo was addicted to Heroin. That was Frankie Hymen. Bobo was addicted to laxatives back then.

[@SeanRizzo]

@@missvida6251 Bobo spoke about his stomach pain through his music, it wasn't something he liked to discuss. Kurt Cobain would also turn to heroin years later due to similar problems.

[@apolloc.vermouth5672]

Bobo's butt-grief was triggered by the K-rations he was given as a young paratrooper in Korea. Luckily, his lovely lady was a keen grower of roses, so their love blossomed. Bobo's music career was actually underwritten by the success of their fertilizer business, his average record sales being in the low hundreds. P.S. Spotify when?!

@@coreyjones9183 you are so correct. I’ll be damned I think he’s being targeted AT the bingo club! It’s a conspiracy! I don’t know why I’m using present tense. Bobo was dealing with this before I was born. It’s not like this is a recently created song

I think Bobo wouldn't have anywhere near the intestinal problems he has if he only stopped hanging around that bingo hall.

[@Vanessomatic]

The weird thing is the Bingo Club didn't even get closed because of the repeated health violations from serving bad beef. It closed because the owner sold it to some gym chain in the 80s.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

To be fair, it only seemed affect Bobo. No one else seemed to have a beef with the beef. Well, not that I know of.

[@Nefville]

Poor Bobo, his bingo nights never work out. I really do think he should have seen a doctor.

[@efnissien]

I just found out, believe or not, that Bobo was the inspiration for a popular science fiction character. A young Anthony Daniels was at one of Bobo's live gigs when the inevitable happened. And there was Bobo, in a gold Lame suit, wide eyed, pursed lips and waddling off stage in the most curious manner... Years later, after a flashback, Daniels was inspired to create the mannerisms of C3P0. Fact.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

This is indeed true, and here's even lesser known fact: his friend Kenny Baker was with him on that night, and when the overwhelming smell of steaming faeces hit him, he leapt into a nearby trash can on wheels that had a curved lid. And, hey presto, R2D2 was born!

[@efnissien]

@@NewFalconerRecords I never knew that, just goes to show Bobo's cultural influence. It explains Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels feud in later years. Baker was closer 'to the source of the explosion' than Daniels by virtue of height (or lack thereof).
