"It's My House" is a song composed and produced by Ashford & Simpson and released as a single by singer Diana Ross on the Motown label in 1979.
While not fully promoted on pop radio, the song became a modest R&B hit, peaking at number 27 on that chart.
The song was a hit at around the same time for Lovers' Rock reggae outfit Storm - and was recorded by a number of artistes not well known beyond specialised reggae audiences. Storm's version was popular with Northern English general disco audiences, as well as in reggae clubs.
The song would also be referenced by rapper Snoop Dogg in his intro to his 2002 album, Pays the Cost to Be the Boss.
In the video Here Comes the Hammer, MC Hammer claims a bizarre home with images of James Brown dancing throughout and references the line "It's my house and I live here" at the end of the video.
