The Animals in 1965 rocked the blues as if they were on a ferry crossing the Irish Sea in Winter. Eric Burdon’s vocals excels on this track. I love the description of his vocals that wikipedia uses – “Eric Burdon’s vocals range from a calm whisper to a primal roar.” This song is over forty years old, yet it still sounds as fresh as if it had been released yesterday, it’s a song I’ve never grown tired of. I guess that may because it can be used in so many situations – you’re going away on a vacation, done with work for the day, leaving High School, getting out of a war-zone, you may even want to imagine you are an animal in a pet store or at the zoo… the possibilities are endless.
