"Buzz Me" is a 1946 song by Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five that is credited to Fleecie Moore and Danny Baxter (a.k.a. Dave Dexter Jr.[1]). Released by Decca Records as a single, it was the first song in 1946 to reach the number one spot on the R&B chart and was the first of five Louis Jordan releases to achieve the top position in 1946.[2] "Buzz Me" also peaked at number nine on the pop chart.[2] The single became a double-sided hit when the B-side "Don't Worry 'Bout That Mule" also hit number one on the R&B chart later in the year.

Later in 1946, Ella Mae Morse recorded her own version, which peaked at number two on the R&B charts and number fifteen on the pop chart.[2]
