Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five: Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens

Track of the Week - 26 March 2023

Next door have got a couple of chickens. Live ones. In a coop. In their garden.

So when the family are out the chickens can legitimately say 'Ain't nobody here but us chickens.' If they could speak. But they can't. Because they're chickens.

Recorded in 1946 by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five, Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
