Mary Jane Girls – In My House (1984)
Directed by: Mark Rezyka
The Mary Jane Girls’ “In My House,” released in October 1984, is a dance-pop track produced, written, and arranged by Rick James. Featured on their album *Only Four You*, the song achieved significant success, reaching number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart in April 1985 and peaking at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1985. The accompanying music video, directed by Mark Rezyka, features the group performing on balconies of a large white building, showcasing their dynamic stage presence. Despite some controversy, with the Parents Music Resource Center placing it on their “Filthy Fifteen” list for alleged sexual innuendo, the group clarified that the song is about love, not sex. “In My House” remains the group’s highest-peaking single and a classic in the dance-pop genre.
