<Ul> <Li> file </Li> <Li> help </Li> </Ul> <P> George Thorogood recorded "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" for his 1977 debut album, George Thorogood and the Destroyers . His version is a medley of the song and another Hooker song, "House Rent Boogie", which serves as a backstory to explain the singer's situation . According to Hooker, "He (Thorogood) told me he was gonna do that (and) I said,' Okay, go ahead"'. </P> <P> "House Rent Boogie" is written in the first person and details the events that transpire after the singer has lost his job . Unable to pay his rent and thrown out by his landlady, he tries and fails to obtain lodging at a friend's house . Lying to his landlady that he has obtained a new job, he gets access to his room and removes all his belongings . He then goes down to a tavern and repeatedly orders the three title drinks to drown his sorrows, staying until last call at 3: 00 a.m. </P> <P> Live recordings of the medley are included on Live (1986) and 30th Anniversary Tour: Live (2004). In the 1986 performance, as he is being evicted, he makes sure to pack up his "John Lee Hooker record collection" before he heads off to the bar . Both the studio version and the live version of "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" have been included on several Thorogood compilations, which list the songwriter as Hooker . </P>
