i suspect to be in the jug -- is just an other euphemism for sex-- alot of jive songs had short lived expresssions for "scoring". As i child i knew and sang a jive song:
"Mama's little baby loves short'in, short'in,
Mama's little baby loves short'in bread"
I though the song was about shortnin bread (biscuts/scones) or better short cookies (scot's type butter cookies)
as an adult, i learned "short'in bread" was hot fast sex.
the idea of I am going to dance until i manage to convince some dance partner to have sex --makes perfect sense, and since some (most) of the slang was known only to the blacks -- it became a way to express what otherwise would have been censored lyrics.
Even some of the open lyrics where pretty far away from "main stream"-- i think of the 1930's blues song
"Coke's for horses, not for men,
they tell me it'll kill me, but don't say when
Cocaine, cocaine, run all around my brain..
