"Mansion in the Slums" comes from Temple of Low Men, Crowded House's 1988 album, and there are just three players on the credits: Neil Finn, who wrote it, sings it and plays guitar, Nick Seymour on bass and Paul Hester on drums. The title's wry contradiction sets the tone, and the tune has a jaunty, slightly sardonic bounce, with Seymour's bass rolling nimbly under Finn's guitar and Hester keeping the whole thing light on its feet.
