“The song was written by the songwriting team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter, who came up with the title of the song spontaneously when Hayes was trying to get Porter to hurry out of the Stax Studios restroom and get back to songwriting.”

Imagine that conversation…

“David, you’ve been in the bathroom long enough. Come out so we can work!”
“Hold on, I’m coming.”
“Hey, that would make a great song title!”
