"Things Goin' On" is a song by American rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, written in 1973 by vocalist Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Gary Rossington. David Blackfoot helped record and play guitar. It appeared on the band's first album (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) and expressed concerns about social and environmental issues, with especial criticism of politicians' roles in such issues. The song was distinct from other contemporary protest songs in that it utilized the sound of Muscle Shoals and Alabama blues licks made popular by both Eric Clapton and Duane Allman in his honky tonk melodies, though this was in keeping with Lynyrd Skynyrd's country-rock image.
