“Something In My House” Clean & Dirty Mixes is a rare 1986 UK 2-track white label promo-only 12″ featuring the “Mortevicar Mix” and the now legendary “XXX Naughty Mix” with explicit samples from The Exorcist. This 12″ was pressed to only 500 copies and was distributed by Dead Or Alive after Epic Records refused to release it.
The “Mortevicar Mix” is a cleaned-up edit of the “XXX Naughty Mix” containing samples from the 1985 horror film “House” along with samples from “The Exorcist”.
“Something In My House” was released in the UK in December 1986 as the second single from the band’s third studio album, Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know. The single peaked at #12 on the UK singles chart. In the United States, the song reached #85 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #3 on the Billboard Dance Chart.
