[@magusmagic5]

JULY 17 - In memory of Animals bassist and so much more! CHAS CHANDLER, born 18 December 1938, left us 17 July 1996. Rest in Peace dear Chas. ❤🌹

[@grahamashdown4134]

The Animals were one of my favourite 60s bands and this was one of their best songs. I was 15 when it came out in 1965,it was a great song then and it still sounds great in 2023,these oldies stand the test of time,unlike the modern rubbish of today.

[@uncleporkinz3905]

I'll listen to The Animals until I die. They will never be duplicated.

[@John29112]

This is the song I played when i quit my job. And played it loud in my car with a huge smile on my face.

[@Jeepcamper4x4]

Burdon's voice is simply epic.

[@elisabethaxelsson4736]

[@dickgregory1873]

It has become exceeding clear that we now must exit this general vicinity.

I use to play this record on our front Door step in 1965 born 1946 Stoke minning community Idid get out of that Place. Great Music thank you THE ANIMALS

[@christophersteidinger7466]

When I was in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969 in the NCO club after a band played everyone sang this song we got to get out of this place just like clock work,and I still sign the song today many years after Vietnam. Love that song.

I'm actually creating a CFG to simulate a vietnam veteran personality, and those were the first song lyrics I thought about... Glad to see you confirmed it. Thank you for your service !

Hey, Brother where'd you serve in-country? I flew out of Bear Cat with A Co, 228th ASHB, 1st Cav during that time. Welcome home, Brother!

[@jamesgrina8122]

I was there also! It was like an anthem to go home!

[@johnwilchjohnnie]

@@jamesgrina8122 When were you there, Brother? As I said before, I was there from Jun 68 to Jun 69 and flew with A Co., 228th ASHB, 1st Cav. There was another song that our pilot loved to play over our Helo's intercom: Snoopy and The Red Baron. We had a ball singing to it and making our passengers crazy. I flew on CH-47s.

Unmistakable voice of Eric Burdon driving this song to new pop heights......

[@lauriebbatterton8515]

I am so lucky my older siblings raised me with 60's tunes.

[@TheLynchp1]

I really did not appreciate The Animals when I was a teen, but as I have gotten older I realize how integral they were to the rock/blues scene. Amazing band, lots of their music has withstood the test of time...!

[@patrickgage1913]

Sumabitch you just reminded me of how old I am!

[@f.a.p.7228]

My Dad when growing up told me son, Eric Burdon, Paul Rodgers, and Jim Morrison have the best voices in rock history.

[@julieblackstock8650]

Paul Rodgers definitely.. I think Peter Green was also terribly underrated

[@kaylaharteaga423]

My dad was a big fan of Eric Burden and War and I can’t thank him enough. Amazing vocalists and just good music all around 🥺💚

[@mexxbone]

He got two out of three, which ain't bad. Jim was a screamer, these guys Rock. Lennon and Rodgers and Bowie, 1,2,3.

[@Onyesoh]

Us Brits love you Vietnam era vets could relate to this track and rightly so. We call this music northern soul, from working class guys who were born into poverty in places like New Castle, Birmingham and Manchester. American R&B music reinterpreted and regurgitated to include our own pain. This song is based on working in the coal mines of these places and then dying young from the effects of that work. This song is really a dedication to all Blue collar and working class fork and the jobs we have to do to raise our families. The sprit of the American veterans who lived and died around the time of this track keep it relevant today. God Bless and Thanks X

[@thateldoo]

Thank you from a Vietnam Vet...67' and 69'...tow tours I'll never forget...

[@FACTOTUMTRANSPORT]

My best friend and I were slaving at Mt. Isa Mines in Queensland, Australia in 1967 (we are both from Los Angeles), making $39.20 per week for 44 hours work and when we went to the pub, would always play that on the jukebox and sing at the top of our lungs..... and many other workers from Greece, Italy, Scotland, England, Germany would join it. Great times!!!

[@FR-ed4zy]

Je te comprends mon vieux ! Et cette chanson exprime toute la miserere et l'injustice du Monde !

One thing I know is true...Eric Burdon and The Animals are unforgettable. ✌💓

[@user-jq5qq7wh4i]

We used to sing this song at nursing school in 1968

[@johnwilchjohnnie]

That song became a kind of theme song for us Vietnam vets.

Man, Burdon's voice is just... so... freakin'... awesome. Probably the most underrated rock' n' roll vocalist of all time (alongside Steve Winwood).

[@kjsh987]

so with keith relf from the yardbirds

[@leegenix]

dan marva I saw The Yardbirds live in 1966. I'm friends with the original drummer and founding member, Jim McCarty on Facebook. RIP Keith Relf.

[@mtdewramen]

Agreed, main reason i prefer symphonic orchestra with my metal nowadays instead of them just being shallow crybabies as lead singers. Decent bands can hold their own through their music even with singles.

[@kjsh987]

lucky you

[@mtdewramen]

What kind of music scene do you go to Dan? I usually support the metal scene hard, but also locally support blues almost more so. I even went to an emo tour that changed my ideas about that genre as well.

[@roydenbellman]

Will be fascinating in a couple of hundred years from now when we are all dead and forgotten just how this superb early rock music will be assessed.

[@hfbarber]

We sang this song during our Senior Assembly at Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport, Florida in 1967. While the Emotions were finishing up the song, we all jumped off the stage, ran out the doors and through the halls singing it. This would have been at the 'last' senior assembly in Boca Ciega history. The principal cancelled and banned any further senior assemblies upon our graduation. What a time it was.

Saw this band in Ottawa in around 1985. Unreal. A time trip back to the 60's but also a celebration of now at that time. Audience entranced, Burdon on point, sound great, small club, beautiful memory.

[@SuperNewf1]

This song is timeless. It is about the plight of the working man slaving to the bone for peanuts. Lost opportunities or no opportunities at all. Like all young people at some point they rebel, want something more, something better. We all do.

"If I was teenager in the 60's, I would have been in love with Eric Burdon."

But we were ALL in love with the music................that just seemed to come from everywhere. Electricity in the air.............................. And we thought it would go on forever.
