It was popularised by the film Parenthood (1989), but was already being sung long before that.

About this song
The “Diarrhoea Song” is traditional playground folklore.
No one owns it. Everyone adds to it. No one improves it.
Popularised by Parenthood (1989), which bravely put a camp song into a Hollywood movie, but did not invent it.

The song itself belongs to the collective memory of humanity and should probably have stayed there.
If this offends you, please remember it was almost certainly written by an adult with a child’s sense of humour.
You have now spent more time thinking about this than anyone involved ever intended.
