"Who Was in My Room Last Night?" kicks off Independent Worm Saloon, the sixth album from American rock band Butthole Surfers, out on Capitol in 1993. John Paul Jones produced it, Pat McCarthy engineered and mixed, and the writing credit goes to Gibby Haynes, Paul Leary, JD Pinkus and Jeff Coffey.

The video, directed by William Stobaugh and animated by Tom Holleran and Wesley Meyer Archer, plays like a bad trip: a guy with a giant black pompadour, played in turn by each band member, drives to a bar where the band is playing this very song, takes a drink from bartender Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and starts hallucinating: the waitress becomes his girlfriend, a nurse, a string of creatures, until he seems to crash his car and tumbles down a void of cartoon skulls. Beavis and Butt-head loved it.
