Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: Becca72 Date: 30 Jun 06 - 03:07 PM I learned it in elementary school in the late 70's in Northern New England, but our version didn't have the pfft pfft...we did cha cha cha instead. Diarrhea cha cha cha, etc. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,Ewan McVicar Date: 01 Jul 06 - 05:44 AM I have collected many versions in Scottish schools in the 1990s and in a collecting trip a few weeks ago, but Ian Davison's ms collection of over 500 items in Glasgow in the 1970s does not I think have it at all [certainly not with the usual Scottish start to each verse of 'I was', as in 'I was goin to the chippy when ah slipped in somethin slippy']. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Jul 06 - 05:06 PM It does remind me of a song we used to sing in Peace Corps training, after the health lecture on how to guard against dysentery. The song had this memorable line: The water is delicious, It will keep you on the run! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,Pelrad Date: 02 Jul 06 - 11:54 PM I remember it vaguely from my childhood, which would place it somewhere around 1977-8 in New England. I must have thought it was too gross, because I didn't learn it and never sang it. The only words I remember were sung by a character in the movie "Parenthood," which came along much later. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST Date: 17 Oct 06 - 10:26 AM It was certainly sung at our school in West Yorkshire when I was 4 in 1981 and I suppose it had been going longer than that before. I was walking down the lane when I felt a sudden pain dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft), dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) I went behind a bush and it came out in a rush dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) I tried to make a bung but it trickled down mi thumb dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) It shot out of mi bum like a bullet from a gun dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) I tried to ride mi bike but mi arse felt like a spike dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) I went to the shop and mi knickers went pop! dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) dioarrhoea, (pfffft, pffft) There was never a tune to it, more like a rap really! |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: EBarnacle Date: 28 Sep 11 - 03:50 PM If you're gonna do it as skip to the loo, you need an extra pffft in the two lead lines of the chorus. That's speaking loosely, of course. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,Meg Date: 28 Sep 12 - 11:40 PM I learned it as a kid in the early 90's from my parents. They were born in 1950 and would have been way out of school in the 70's. When we sing it, we don't do any pfft or anything. it is: When you're climbing up a ladder and you feel something splatter Diarrhea Diarrhea. When you're taking off your dress and you see a big brown mess Diarrhea Diarrhea Those two are for sure from my parents. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,Chris Date: 28 Jun 14 - 06:04 AM I remember this from 1979/1980 in West Yorkshire, England. The tune had 7 syllables per line (da da da da da da daa - da da da da da da daa). I made one verse up about the Scarlett Pimpernel - weird childhood ha! |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: Mr Red Date: 28 Jun 14 - 06:23 AM Kosher Bailey's cousin Dai ... er Well he tried to join the choir. Kosher Bailey said "No Fear" We will have no Dai ...er .. Here!" Baz Yates, Pelsall Folk Club (think Walsall) 1979 ish and I might add the trad chorus is: "was you ever saw, was you ever sore, was you ver sore such a funny thing before?" |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: Richard from Liverpool Date: 28 Jun 14 - 08:57 PM Not an early date, alas, but I do recall this being chanted in school (in Liverpool) in the 1990s. I remember one of the lines was "coming out your bum like pedigree chum". |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,Steve Worley Date: 04 Dec 14 - 02:08 PM I think I invented it in the mid- 1970s: When your tummy feels funny and it's coming out runny, Diarrhea, pfft pfft, Diarrhea, pfft pfft. When you're running down the hall and your pants begin to fall, Diarrhea, pfft pfft, Diarrhea, pfft pfft. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,jamie Date: 29 Apr 15 - 07:39 PM i was singing this in the late 70's. It has been around awhile. I only remember it having about 5 verses then though |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: BillOC Date: 29 Apr 15 - 08:22 PM Hard to believe, but there is a blog devoted to updating verses to the "Official" Diarrhea Song, and another that presents it as a baseball game tale in a song to be sung on a school (?) bus. http://diarrheasong.blogspot.com/ and http://bussongs.com/songs/diarrhea-song.php |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: Mrrzy Date: 30 Apr 15 - 12:35 PM I don't know this song but I remember having a terrible attack when traveling somewhere in the former Yugoslavia in the 70's - my parents sent me behind the cars since there was no other place to go, and I thought I was in this very private place when along comes a tour bus, double-decker no less, with tourists taking pictures of the peasant/gypsy child squatting in the bushes... they had sent me to the end of the lot right by the main road, not off into a discreet corner. Oops. Wish I'd known the song, we could have sung it. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: Mrrzy Date: 02 May 15 - 08:40 PM AND the answer is, cha cha cha: I wouldn't have understood what Jon Stewart was laughing at towards the end of this clip if I hadn't read this thread... |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,Jon Thejohn Date: 18 Feb 16 - 12:46 AM I believe that song may come from our soldiers or sailors from the wars before 1950. I was taught that by my older brothers when I was 3 or 4. That was in 1955, Seattle area. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST Date: 05 Jan 18 - 08:24 PM I learned it as a child. 1976. Again, Seattle area. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,Scott, UK Date: 03 Jun 20 - 03:27 PM My dad used to sing this song. He was born in 1956 so the dates around the 70s would fit. I shall ask him where he learnt it. He used to sing the lines 'went to the chippy and felt something slippy" as someone said early in the discussion. |
|
Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: GUEST,Rob Mad Jock Wright Date: 04 Jun 20 - 02:37 PM There is somewhere a song possibly with the title I got the diarrhoea blues. I think a line goes something like ....... I woke up one morning and looked down at my shoes. I got the diarrhoea blues. Or close to that. |

Subject: RE: Origins: Earliest date for 'Diarrhea Song' ???? From: Bainbo Date: 04 Jun 20 - 08:41 PM I presume this is a companion piece to the truly awful Constipation Blues by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. |
