Always thought that 'The Strain' by the Bonzo Dog Dodah Band was the first song about not being able to shit. Now I know better. Screamin' Jay was a trailblazer is so many ways :-)
I played this for some African friends of mine. One of them said "I'm glad my kids are not here. They'll wake up in the middle of the night, crying "Screaming Jay Hawkins is coming to get me!""
@mysticjaz I'm an African-American who was about 6 or 7 when this song came out, and sometimes I still wake up in the middle of the night crying, "Screamin' Jay Hawkins is comin' to get me!!!". (Great bed-time song for bad kids!)
havent heard this song since the 70's. my parents told me that is recordered for a laxitive commercial in the 40's. also the shaving cream song was used for a commercial back in the day
@DrunkenPiano man, DP, you sure got that right!!!!!!!!!!! bunch of wussies, afraid to have fun, afraid to laugh at themselves, so they are afraid to laugh at/with others. we should all youtube the dean martin roasts!!!!!!
@DrunkenPiano and the generation before them had stuff even dirtier than this. Just look up the old jazz diddy Shave It Dry, and you will never again take any lip from your grandfolks about your choice in music, because they had artists just as nasty as today!!
Until this moment, I had not heard this song since Labor Day weekend in 1969, when I came back to NASMIR from SE Asia. I laughed in disbelievement then; now it's just plain funny.
I first saw him on the Arsenio Hall show.....didn't know he was the one who sang "I put a spell on you".....I bought the CD and heard this song.....played it for everyone I know.......They cracked the hell up...... Funny song
@SharanBurrow That story rings a bell from somewhere. I can't confirm it but ...... from what I've heard about Screamin' J Hawkins I'd be very surprised if at some point in his life he hadn't set himself on fire just to attract someones attention !!! lol
@SharanBurrow Not a chance Jay was a very intellectual man, he did not need added attention. look up I put a spell on me dvd he tells it like it is and it's good!
@SharanBurrow Well when he was the airport he wanted to do a smoke trick like he come be hide the smoke but then his bread lit and that really it.......I think i not sure it might of been someone else
@SharanBurrow He was expected at an airport but the people there were concerned they wouldn't reckognise him. So he decided to perform his signature entrance, but his beard caught on fire. Do you reckon it would be funny if one of the people then said: "Do you think that's him?"
i heard about this song back in the mid-80's when i was in middle school. now that i've FINALLY heard it, all i san say is...ROFLMAO! this is 1 hilarious tune! i would've gotten a big kick out of it if i heard it way back when. but hey, better late than never, right? lol
