Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens - Asleep at the Wheel - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens" is a playful and lively track by the Western swing band Asleep at the Wheel, released in 1978. This song is a cover of the 1946 Louis Jordan hit, and Asleep at the Wheel's version injects it with their signature blend of swing, jazz, and country influences, making it a fun and energetic tune that helped cement the band’s place in the Americana and Western swing music scenes. The original version of "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens" by Louis Jordan was a humorous and upbeat novelty song that mixed jazz and blues, telling the story of a young man sneaking into a chicken coop while trying to avoid detection. Asleep at the Wheel’s rendition retains the cheeky vibe of the original but adds a distinct Western swing flair with their rich instrumentation, featuring fiddles, steel guitars, and horn sections. Their rendition of the song remains a fan favorite, keeping the timeless charm of Louis Jordan's original while making it their own.
