First Time Hearing Eric Burdon & War - “Spill The Wine” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you’ll love War's “Low Rider”and "The Cisco Kid"!!

[@Chevy11]

The live video of this is great! Eric Burdon is a great singer and War throws it down!

[@jamescordell-uz4zp]

Eric sang the same song live video on the beat club way different on record listen to it you"ll like it, Eric is the best .

[@chrisjamieson3452]

Eric was with them, just to get them more exposure. 1st Album - Eric Burdon Declares War. This was a very neat little hit. Suggestion: Reactors try too hard to understand what the lyrics mean. Often, they really didn't mean much. Once the people who wrote them sobered up maybe? And they just sounded good.

[@mysterfrosty]

Seems to be a vampire tail...

[@SIXX2772]

FACTS

[@hpb5495]

lol, those really were the days..

[@christinewaide5249]

One of the coolest songs ever recorded ❤

[@MB-pw9mf]

Definitely I believe Mr.Bassman by Johnny Cymbal was another very cool song, early 60s.

[@direnova6284]

Yup , cool is the word, none better.

[@johnlong9534]

The first time I heard this, I was blown away. It was different yet cool. I went and bought the 45. I still have it today, over 50 years later.

[@markjf131]

Eric Burdon was friends with Jim Hendrix and Jimi's girlfriend did the Spanish speaking girl part in this song.

[@MB-pw9mf]

Oh good to know. Thxs!!

[@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l]

I didn't know, she is kind not making sence. Throwing words out. Like and that woman? Your crazy and just babbling in Spanish. Love this song.

[@maggiethecat1538]

With all due respect, that is totally false information. That was Eric Burdens' girlfriend!

[@markjf131]

@@maggiethecat1538 Thanks for the correction.

[@TheBS1000]

Ah. So he threw a little bit of Spanish castle magic onto the track.

[@Belluser-we1uc5cb2l]

Eric Burdon takes me to church with his voice. ❤ He is the lead singer of The Animals. House of the rising sun. His voice is mellow here. But soulful.

[@maryreilly5092]

I know it's true but Eric sounds so different in this song!

[@denroy3]

At this point, he WAS the lead singer of the Animals, they had disassembled.

[@MB-pw9mf]

I dug this cool song in 70, still do. Eric Burdon is one of my all time favorite singers. Had much success with the Animals. I believe the Animals are in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and surely deserve it

[@blackprix]

What a great song this is one you never forget ever! And it brings back some really good memories😂😂

[@MB-pw9mf]

Ya, good memories. I'm still not sure if 68, 69 or 1970 was the greatest yr for music. Probably all were. I'm listening to music a very long time since 58.

[@robertlear2712]

I saw them perform this live in concert in 1970. The band was in extremely good form. They played their hearts out. One of the best concerts I ever saw.

[@FR-ed4zy]

Moi aussi, à Paris, Olympia !!!

[@FR-ed4zy]

J'ai entendu cette chanson pour la première fois le 16 février 1971 à l'Olympia à Paris... J'étais face à la scène, au 3ème rang. Je voyais aussi Eric pour la première fois. C'est un des plus grands moments de ma vie !!!

[@Lakeshore14]

I followed Eric Burdon and his group The Animals back in the 60s. They had several big hits. Hadn’t seen him in years until I went to a concert he had a few years ago. He came out on stage and had a full head of white hair which surprised me. As soon as he started singing I knew it was him because his voice sounded exactly the same as he sounded 50+ years ago. He was fantastic. Thanks Asia and BJ, my favorite YT channel. You’re the BEST. 👏👏❤️

[@bryanthomas9194]

I agree with you on that.

[@zzz7zzz9]

i saw The Animals in '82.

[@crazypainter56]

it was wine spilled on the recording console--

[@willow0828]

Exactly! The back ground vocals of the girls speaking Spanish. That was Jimi Hendrix’s girlfriend.

[@cindyv1401]

This is a wicked good song 🔥🔥🔥🔥 No. No. No....you have to watch the original old video ‼️‼️💯

[@cynergy4]

. Congrats for being the first reactors to listen to the long version. Most reactors hear the short version that excludes the second verse. Awesome reaction!

[@phxazdude1969]

Here on the Friday night with my favorite people! God bless and thanks for all the positivity! This is my favorite reaction show! You guys are awesome

[@williamscoggin1509]

This is what was played on the radio back when radio was still worth listening to. 👍🏻

[@reichensperger1847]

You said it!

[@scotttrainer9704]

Spill the wine, take that pearl. Her virginity. The song actually came about from wine being spilled on a keyboard, keys being known as pearls or the ivory pearls.

[@CdnTrader1]

100% BJ heard this song while watching Boogie Nights.

[@dalenikolitch4627]

Yep😮

[@Lfg117]

One of my fav' songs I heard on CKLW Radio, as a child, in 1970. Unique lyrics & composition. Someone smoked out b4 arranging this classic 😂. So grateful I grew up on 1960s-1980s radio music. Even as a kid this song hit different. 😂

[@seanpaula8924]

CKLW ❤ very early memories for me.

[@cheesesteak59]

WAR was my first musical love. Eric Burdon was great back in those days. City, Country, City blew my teenaged mind back then.

[@roydownes2458]

this song got its name from the fact that, during the recording sessions, the drummer spilled a bottle of wine into a recording console and shorted out about $10K of electronics. he freaked out over the bill, but burdon told him not to worry about it. they finished the song , and the drummers share of the royalties from the single covered the bill. :p :)

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I had no idea Eric Burdon sang in this song…good song, I remember it well.👍👏👏 Merry Christmas, Asia & BJ, Happy New Year too! 🎄🎉🪅🎈🎈🎊🎼🎵🎶🥰♥️♥️

[@taramahoney2412]

Great song and Eric Burdon is a great singer. You probably say him when he was with the Animals. Eric was the lead singer and even though they had several hits. There big one when he was with the animals was called The House of The Rising Son.

[@MB-pw9mf]

Definitely one of the greatest singers ever!!

[@funkmeisterB-5000]

I loved Charles MIller's ( Who also played sax for the band) flute playing...He did a fire thing, wine pouring, foxy lady walking up, KIng of the Mountain, etc..We called it playing for effect back then, such a lost art in today's music. And B.J., That was Spanish you heard from the lady in the background, done by Keyboardist Lonnie Jordan's then Latino sweetheart. Sure wish Burdon and War did more stuff together!

"Y aquí todos los días es fiesta vale" "Yo estoy aquí mi cuelpo está aquí pelo mi mente está volando, volando..." "Todas las cosas están azul azul y todo es fiesta"

[@Palaaka]

Love the reaction from both of you! You’re both just feeling the music and Asia is trying so hard to figure it out, sweet reaction

[@sammybeck7794]

I'm not fluent in Spanish but I know enough to know that the lady who came out of the middle and whispered in his ear something crazy did NOT say anything close to spill the wine, take that pearl. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. 😊

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

From the ANIMALS TO WAR...HE HAD SOME GREAT TUNES🎷🎸🎹🎺🎤🎧🎵🎶🎵🎶🎷🎸🎹🎺🎤🎹

[@albertjflores8950]

Saw Eric Burdon in San Antonio , Texas & War also was there at laurie Auditorium , also called the Sunken Gardens in San Antonio Texas near the Zoo...

[@JWW301]

This was one of the main songs in the awesome film Boogie Nights!

[@MARKB3946]

I forgot about that one. Great song.. !!!

[@JTQA_Tester]

Eric Burton from the Animals, one of the greatest bands to emerge during the British Invasion era.

[@AngelaGoodwin-fh6fw]

My theory is he was in a bordello. The lady in the middle was the madam and she was encouraging him to enjoy the amenities her establishment offered. That's the only way I make sense of it. Great song no matter what the meaning may be.

[@rickpetersen1745]

And that Lady's and Gents is how War was introduced to the world. Their first song to be played Nationaly across American radio airwaves.

[@dadmateryn8092]

It's not about wine, in the song, actually. The pearl refers to the pearl of the orient, i.e. heroin. Spilling the wine is a slang term for the blood dripping when doing the drugs.

[@KahlessTheUnforgettable]

Nope

[@T-ShirtMagic]

You're hearing these 70s song with now decades of rock music under your belt. Consider hearing this song for the first time back in 1970 - *It Was A Trip, Man!* Now's a good time to check out *"Jimmy Castor Bunch - Troglodyte (Cave Man)"*

[@Chris.Davis.2]

This song is used in the movie Boogie Nights, amazing soundtrack and great film, highly recommend it.

[@DariaBilowus]

🎶Spill the wine, take that pearl🎶

[@TheHatchetwoman]

This is the correct lyric!

[@johnniekight1879]

I still go to see Eric whenever he's around. Still has those pipes.

[@kevin-pl7vt]

I remember this song when I was 12 it took till the age of 17 before I understood the line " lick that pearl" lol great vibe Eric had a blues soul..

[@fredkrissman6527]

Quote: "Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine, take that pearl Spill the wine, dig that girl Spill the wine, take that pearl..."

[@waynemarchel9667]

Love Eric Burton When i was young,its my life,house of the rising sun, And watching those womens head moving on the wall WOW

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

WAR HAD COUPLE TUNES THAT ARE FIRE🔥🔥🔥 "OUTLAW" "LOWRIDER"

[@terryhughes7349]

They used this song in "Boogie Nights" The pool scene.

[@thomasmcdonough6642]

Great old song,Eric was awesome

[@SPOOKY.698]

Love this song

[@react2reactions246]

I always dug this song. The singer is the guy that sung House of the Rising Sun. I appreciate BJ bc I think we’re roughly the same age, so he remembers a lot of what I remember. And most everyone else I see on KZbin doesn’t lol

[@areneesouder]

All the music Eric did was fantastic! Dig that girl.

[@cindyphifer970]

Love Eric. Love War too and The Animals

[@AndrewLeigh-v1l]

Aisia and BJ thanks so much for this feature on the band WAR,,,, Charles Millar on funky flute,,, pappa dee allen harold brown bb dickerson howard scott lee oscar lonnie jordan ❤ the live album is brilliant on par with DYLAN BOWIE WONDER STEELYDAN BEATLES MILES DAVIES THIN LIZZY TOWER POWER STAN CLARKE GENESIS ❤

[@Chevy11]

Spill the wine and take that Pearl from the oyster. lol

[@humpy936]

There is a great live version of this and it’s even better than the studio version.❤

[@bigb6046]

"Spill the wine ,dig that girl"

[@bryanthomas9194]

One of my favorite tunes!

[@letthetruthbetold6716]

Also Eric Burdon also with the Animals

[@robertschiavone5159]

All time classic.. just got to love Eric Burdon's voice you know the lead singer from the animals

[@deniseodaniels5782]

Low Rider ,Cisco kid,The world is a ghetto,All day music,Why can't we be friends, Slipping into Darkness, Deep rabbit hole here.Great band .

[@theresamendoza9143]

Eric Burton of the animals was amazing. And then war So many favorites, but of course, my favorite is low rider. Coming from the LA area.

[@quincee3376]

This was in Boogie Nights starring Mark Wahlberg. I think it was also in a few other movies.

[@daveking9393]

Oh boy, it's so sad you didn't get a chance to watch the video. I hope you do one day. It's fantastic

[@lc2748]

Such a crush on this singer❤

[@buukkreider544]

This was a real Soul song. Real Soul.

[@vicferrari9490]

The live version...!! It's out there 🔥🍺😎

[@UncleBuckRodgers]

I think some of this played in the Boogie Nights soundtrack

[@felequere]

"They can't take away our music", Eric Burdon and War

[@debraconaway6763]

Boz Scaggs- " Miss Sun" live Dukes of September! Miss Monet has sung back up for Boz for over 25 yrs

[@MaryM-xz5fs]

THE RHYTHM AND VIBES MAKE THIS SONG!! NEED TO SEE THE 1970 LIVE VIDEO!

[@nancycleary9483]

I saw him live in 1978. it was amazing!

[@dennish3032]

He did a live version , but the field of grass was clarified as being the smoking kind. Bit more energy in the performance.

[@patrickvecchio8138]

13 yrs. old I was when this was all over the radio…and loved it then….13 !

[@richardcramer1604]

Wow for the past 50 some years I thought he sang 'take that girl', after comments insisted it was 'take that pearl' I googled it and found they were right it is 'take that pearl'.

[@reverbscherzo7850]

I always thought the line was "dig that herb". 😂

[@lm9991]

I thought it was, 'dig that girl' for all these years.

[@pegajense]

❤❤❤ brings back memories thank you ❤❤❤

[@SidSneer1]

First time I heard this song was Uncle Phil singing it on an episode of Fresh Prince.

[@RicoCosta317]

Burdon helped put War on the map and this song really brought them into the spotlight. War of course had a highly successful career without him, known for their superior rhythms and super cool songs. And I cannot believe you've hit 350K subscribers. I knew you when you were just babies lol. Couldn't happen to two nicer and cooler people.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction guys! I never understood the meaning of the song either, but it didn't matter. I always enjoyed it!

[@OscarMartinez-pz9rg]

"Spill the wine, take that pearl"🎶 great reaction guys, please do more War, btw the voice is spanish and it was Eric Burden's gf at the time

[@elaineandjohn9599]

This was in the movie Boogie Nights

[@debbiesolomon6682]

I had read that the song was inspired by the keyboardist spilling wine on the mixing board

[@benjaminjohnson8010]

Fyi he introduced war as a band with this song there's a video that goes along with it.

[@maggiethecat1538]

She was speaking Spanish, not Chinese. Eric Burden was so soulful and talented! Love his vocals! That song has a great groove! That's what I would have focused on

[@sirgalahad3574]

This is a good groove, and War did pretty well for a time when Eric left the band. Some real classics.

[@rbking9296]

Always heard back in the day spill the wine had something to with using Heroin it was expression that users used but I forgot it meant and take that Pearle had to do with dropping LSD but not sure on either

[@AP-gb3eh]

Just a groove ☮️

[@HeavyMetalBluegrass]

As a kid this was my introduction to Latin rhythms.

[@landiahillfarm6590]

Sooooo chill... brings back memories

[@roderoda1758]

Thanks for doing a reaction video of Eric Burden and War, good stuff. If you have time check out their live cover of this song.

[@stephenwilliams1354]

Need to check out this song; the live video. Seeing makes it much better.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

What a classic from my chidhood....about 9 or 10 years old

[@MOS650]

Love the studio version and totally enjoy the live version (1970).

[@brendawilson8208]

Eric Burdon worked with WAR for a couple of years, then he left the group. WAR had successful songs of their own: The World Is a Ghetto -- Slipping into Darkness Cisco Kid -- Why Can't We Be Friends

[@brad6576]

Every song that was in Boogie Nights is cool!

[@jimmymcintyre7944]

Brings back memories. Spill the Wine. Dig That Girl.

[@crazypainter56]

that was Eric Burdon's girlfriend at the time -that you heard-I like how he starts going off at the end of the song--this is the same guy who sang-"The house of The Rising Sun" with the Animals

[@ShelleyCrowe]

I love it when the music moves y’all!! If I’m down , I watch canned heat reaction by yall! Best ever!!❤️

[@aarontaylor6102]

It was in a movie called" Boogie Nights"

[@WilluePhillips]

[@karlburkhamer994]

Love starting the AM with Asia & BJ.🤩

[@memorast]

[@tuffs4it]

If you like Eric's spoken word over music thing I recommend "Year of the Guru" he did with the Animals. It's got a cool groove. 😁
