Something's Going On In My Room - Daddy Cleanhead and the Chuck Higgins Band

Something's Going On In My Room - Daddy Cleanhead and the Chuck Higgins Band
2:13
single, 1954
Written by Alvin Johnson and Scott Johnson

Jump blues with  tinge of rockabilly, a rock solid rhythm, catchy piano and bass riff, humorous and light-hearted lyrics and a bouncing, buzzing horn.  The narrator hears some suspicious voices in his room, accompanied by equally suspicious thumps and bumps.  Naturally, he's fit to bust down the door.  "Well when I get in / You better have somethin' for me," he says.  (Does this indicate a lack of jealousy and a willing to take part in a throuple situation?)  In the end, his lady is just dancing around with a broom.  Whew!
