I didn't know Eric could sing like this haha, I hadda double check this was an animals song. o.o I guess he sang with the deep voice by choice.

Was this and 'Work Song' recorded in 1966, or around the time of the "New Animals"?

@GuyWithNoName67

Hello Guy. I only know what's on the back of the CD cover, I'm afraid. The Work Song and Jailhouse Rock tracks on this CD have the date 1967 (New Animals time), and there is a note that they were recorded for the BBC so they were probably recorded for a broadcast. But on the Roadrunners CD the same songs have the note 'British Radio 1966'. So I don't know.

LUV THE ANIMALS!!!!!!!

@crazybilkonut as you maybe noticed it is a cover! that means that it hasn t got to be exactly the same, espacially for well-known groups it s much more interesting to chance the song a little bit :)

but u could be right, too :D

[retrofever1969]

Singers have to pay attention to copyright laws.. I imagine that is one reason for the change from slide trombone to saxophone.

@crazybilkonut

Hi crazybilkonut, thanks for your comment. It does sound great doesn't it. I think he's singing in a tradition which welcomes a bit of improvisation, so singing lyrics slightly differently at different times doesn't really matter that much.  I don't think it's really 'wrong'.

@OldCoelacanth I like Saxophone better, and this puts Elvis to shame!

[asorls1]

This is pre- animals Zoot Money on piano, and Georgie Fame guesting on Organ.
