I call it 'Canajun Blues'; but, it might be called 'Alt Country', 'Country Blues' or 'God Knows What'.

Story behind the song
I spent some time living on the third floor of my brother, ian's home in the Cabbagetown neighbourhood in Toronto. As Ian seldom spent time on the third floor, he had no idea the racket the raccoons made "dancing in the attic". I knew there was a song in there.
