    It's a hard world to get a break in
    All the good things have been taken
    But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
    Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable some day
    Hear what I say
    I'm gonna ride the serpent
    No more time spent sweatin' rent
    Hear my command
    It ain't no use, I'm breakin' loose,
    Holdin' me down, stick around
    But baby (baby)
    Remember (remember)
    It's my life and I'll do what I want
    It's my mind and I'll think what I want
    Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
    But some day I'll treat you real fine
    There'll be women and their fortunes
    Who just want to mother orphans
    Are you gonna cry
    When I'm squeezing them dry?
    Taking all I can get
    No regrets
    When I ... openly lie
    And live on their money
    Believe me honey, that money
    Can you believe, I ain't no saint
    No complaints
    So girl go out
    Any doubt
    And baby (baby)
    Remember (remember)
    It's my life and I'll do what I want
    It's my mind and I'll think what I want
    Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
    But some day I'll treat you real fine
    (It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
    (It's my mind and I'll think what I want) It's my life
    (It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
    (It's my mind and I'll think what I want) You can't tell me
    (It's my life and I'll do what I want)

    Eric Burdon...one of the all time greats. Summer of '66, I drove my red Mustang fastback to a concert in upstate NY. The opening number was "Don't Bring Me Down".
    On the opening power chord, a gigantic speaker mounted 20 feet above the stage exploded. I kid you not. After a 30 minute delay, the band came back on, and this time the speaker held up. Eric Burdon continued through a 90 minute set, and, I tell you, he was the real deal. They did virtually every song in their record catalog, and more.

      from where did you drive your Mustang to Upstate NY? Thanks for sharing your memory. Reminds me of when I was asked to choose a song during a group psychotherapy session. Each torture victim chose a song for the counselor to play. The counselor loaded my song, then foolishly walked away from the player. The opening banging bars of "Crazy Train" song by Ozzy Osbourne nearly knocked my unknowing counselor off the floor as he walked towards me away from the speakers with his back facing the player. Made my day. At least I laughed.

    it's so strange to think this video was uploaded when I was a child in 2007 which to me feels like a lifetime ago, yet the day it was uploaded, the song was already over 40 years old which is longer than I've been alive. My mind simply can't comprehend how long ago the sixties was, yet whenever i listen to these songs they still sound so fresh, so modern, so original. idk if it's just me or if the songs were just that excellently crafted, maybe a mix of both, either way, i do hope this music never dies. it's a genuine miracle that the internet exists and we can access all these songs literally in the palm of our hands

    One of the most underrated singers out there. Sure, you hear about Jagger, Lennon and McCartney but Eric Burdon's voice tops them all. (Jagger has the best stage presence of course!) Why can't they make music like this anymore? People with real raw talent. At this point, it didn't matter how they looked or how marketable they were, it was about talent, ability and most importantly the music. I wish we could go back to simpler times. It seems like music was so much fun back then instead of the insanity it has become. Sorry to preach. It just came out.

    He comes from a British working-class background, and so many songs have the theme of getting out of that treadmill existence, and of gaining freedom from that rigid fifties mentality of what was and wasn't acceptable. (hence the title of the song, and also "We Gotta Get Out of this Place")....a common theme then in rock, and among us kids, too. Oh, boy, it was a fun time.

The Gretch was used on House of the Rising Sun and the Vox he owned was a 12 string Brian Jones' Vox was a six string if I remember right, but had the same teardrop shape. He is playing a Rickenbacker in this video.. Hilton has a web site telling about the equipment he has used though his career.

      The great song itself had some pretty creepy lyrics.
      "There'll be women and their fortunes
      Who just want to mother orphans
      Are you gonna cry
      When I'm squeezing them dry?
      Taking all I can get
      No regrets
      When I openly lie, ha
      And live on their money
      Believe me, honey
      That money
      Can you believe?
      I ain't no saint

    Something so often missed... was that this sound, this musical style, was SO VERY NEW. These bands were laying down the paving stones for bands to come. And some pathways could just never be repeated. The Animals were such a creative, original group. I only wish they'd held up longer, added more music to their archive for all time.

    Eric Burdon and the Animals. The original "punk rockers." I used to love listening to them and they had a real long string of hit songs in the 60s. That attitude that they had, that in your face kind of demeanor, we all shared that in those days. We questioned everybody about everything. We didn't take anything for granted after we saw what the politicians and businesses were doing. We didn't trust them. We got the answers we were looking for and started trying to do things better.

    He was one of the best rock an roll singers of all time. I saw the band in the 60’s perform. I will never forget how great they were back then. I also saw Eric explode when a fight broke out in the audience, and knowing how hard Eric was he couldn’t wait to join in. What a hard guy he was for his size. One of the best bands ever 👍

    • @chriswebster24
      @chriswebster24 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah, I bet he was always hard, whenever he visited you in your dreams/fantasies--hard as a rock, I'm sure. I can tell it meant a lot to you when he exploded. Of course, he couldn't wait any longer, because of how hard he was. You must've been sore for quite a while, after he got through with you. He was a very hard guy for his size.
