Motörhead-I'm your Witch Doctor [1977-with Lyrics]

aus dem ersten Motörhead-Album.
~Lyrics~
I'm your witchdoctor, got the evil eye,
Got the power of the devil, I'm the conjuror guy.
Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour,
Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower.
Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey. Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey.
Your witchdoctor, your witchdoctor, got my eyes on you.
I was born in the country and I lived in the trees.
I got my voodoo from the birds and the bees.
Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour,
Gonna feel you burning, little passion flower.
Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey. Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey.
Your witchdoctor, your witchdoctor, got my eyes on you.
I'm your witchdoctor, got the evil eye,
Got the power of the devil, I'm the conjuror guy.
Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour,
Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower.
Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey. Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey.
Your witchdoctor, your witchdoctor, got my eyes on you.
I got my mean old spell on you
I got my mean old spell on you
Your witchdoctor, your witchdoctor, got my eyes on you.

All the blues connoisseurs don't like this version? I fink it is superb. Captures the blues, rawk, punk everyfing. Rock on Lemmy 🎸

[@AspiringSanta]

Old Motorhead very nice.. Always wanted to listen to their stuff from the 70s never got around to it.. Very nice and interesting.

My personal favourite Motorhead song. Lemmy = God.

At the time United Artists were not convinced of the album's commercial potential and shelved its release despite the band [shooting] down to the label every day saying: "What the fuck's happening? When's the album coming out? When are you gonna get us some gigs? What's happening about getting us an agency?' All we'd get was bullshit about the sleeve, you know, photographs and all that. When we got back from Rockfield with the masters, of course, we got the big: 'Oh, great, fantastic', but in the ensuing weeks it was just excuses and bullshit".[4] After the band's profile had risen with the commercial success of the albums Overkill and Bomber in 1979, United Artists re-appraised the album and gave it a belated release at the end of that year.

this is so good sounds like a rehearsal recording, fucing animal

[@kevsmith1941]

this was on the b side of a ep i had

[@Grithron2]

Juan is right. A song with only about twelve words in it, and old Lemsip still gets 'em wrong! Beer Drinkers... and now this.

[@jamjar142]

This wasn't on their first album at all. It was first released on the Beer Drinkers and Hell raisers EP which we have got. This is the only version known to have been released. It may have been put on a CD as a BONUS track but that is all. I don't buy the CDs as the vinyl copies are far superior in sound and quality. We also have the first album released which was Motorhead with a picture inner sleeve. On Parole was recorded earlier but wasn't released until after Motorhead was. Just saying, for those many people who think O P was their first album.

CDs are superior than vinyls...much better sound...clean and no hissing

[@G8GT364CI]

@@nebod1556 Nope, LP's are much more natural sounding, don't be a cheapskate buy a few new ones and you'll know why people like them better.

[@neonknight-1522]

There is also a live version which is great, unfortunately the guitarist isnt singing there though.

[@skullne15]

The lyrics are wrong friend, correct them. Hail Motörhead!
