Just a small point that may be of interest to linguists and musicologists:

In the Boozoo Chavis zydeco version referred to by Azizi above, I'm sure he sings "Take off your drawers/shoes, throw IT in the corner". If I'm right, is that just a stylistic device to fit in with the other singular nouns in the song, or could it be linguistic interference from Cajun French?

Any ideas? (Or is it just that my hearing's faulty?)
