The Animals - Hit The Road Jack

[bla7091]

I used to have great hearing. Then 0:51 happened to my headphones

[TheWestdarek]

Prefiero ray charles

[answerstotheuniverse]

My 4th grade teacher used to put this on during cleaning time. xD hahaha she's so awesome

[VoxMortis1]

Ray Charles would be pleased

[xx5711xx]

Where is Lady Gaga? When she sing... this song. But the Voice...The Voice.. Marco From Pavia Italy...

[DarthFennec]

My dad used to sing this around the house when I was a kid ... I hated it ...

I like this version though ^^

[Corleone2239]

This song really touch'es your soul.

[Pmitsou123]

γάμησε!!!

[militivbzame]

........want to hear that ADDITIONAL typical..........I mean

[militivbzame]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­....and the technics itself it is what engineers tryng to "resample"(analog ways of the pure nature to record and play sounds) ,integrate to digital fields wich is even succeding,but other engineers who use these don't even know/want to add that typical dirt,hard laxities,inaccuracies.Dyouknow­that,Imsayin'?

[stiegolino]

When did people stop to make this kind of music?!

[poopspackle57]

@stiegolino when black people started talking into a microphone about slapping women and having a beat to it.

[T1337P]

SmåååWKæ

[Adytzuu150]

this is some gay shit nigga

[poopspackle57]

@Adytzuu150 hip hop is just a bunch of noises with an over rated black guy talking into a microphone. i know thats what you like

[TheMondaygirl]

@poopspackle57 : it's not sensible to write smth like that. Good music can be found in every style, even when it's rap, hip hop rock soul jazz pop hard rock blues or what ever.Geniuses are in every style possible, and remember that u are hatin on pple who gave the world some like" jackie wilson,jimi hendrix,ray charles,chuck berry,Ben e king,who inspired exactly the band and all the rest of the legends that u probably listen to

[CerebeloativoTV]

Great!

[Criomorph]

to the 68 people that disliked The Grim Reaper beckons tonight and death flows with him as he nocks on your door to collect and send you down to the abysmal pits of Hell to suffer forever!

Song awsome!

[jaime94jaime94]

wajajajjajajaj do you want to do like Ray Charles? WAJAJAJAJAJA

[RosesLAGuns]

My generation doesn't correspond to me, but this generation...oh god, this generation is part of me!!!!

[ElemonatorHendrix]

I was about to click out of this video in dislike until the ballsy organ part kicked in, and I was all like "oh shit...this is good." Good cover.

[SplinterMadDash]

the animals more like the crazy soundnimals !!!!



[yoshimannetje]

original still much better.

[t0kes42o]

@yoshimannetje nope

[Guustavosf10]

good !

[dygresia]

so goooooood!!

[MzMaddiee]

I enjoy this so much

[SPARROW508]

is a mazing



[TheJucika]

yes, this is animalism - like vezetvam says!

I love it!

[NADYAKOST]

It is cool !!!

[michaelwright999]

COOL LADS GREAT DAYS.

[vezetvam]

this is  animalisms

[groox1]

really the dug version

[tugvesancak]

i cant feel ma face man..

[RockAli22]

GREAT version

[MrCarreman]

Magistrale version d'un morceau pourtant déjà culte. La voix du jeune Eric Burdon avait ce truc à la fois magique et animal, justement. :)

[Naoshines]

love love this song

[dynamo400]

fuckking cool

[salexbe]

GOOD SONG,NEWER HEARD OF THIS VERSION.

ДОБРА ПЕСМА ,НЕК СИ ЈЕБЕ МАТЕР ,БЕЗ ВРЕМЕНА,

[NADYAKOST]

Wow!!!!

[MrPunkKingz]

i only hear this version when im High :D

[Naatjuh79]

didnt knew this version..i love it!

[TheMondaygirl]

one of the best versions.. crazily great version

[Sarah1990loveshg]

@TheMondaygirl is this the original one?

[Sarah1990loveshg]

@Sarah1990loveshg Sorry I already got the answer >.<

[TheMondaygirl]

@Sarah1990loveshg : well no... it was first recorded as an acapella, but became famous only after RAy charles sang it... he was the first mega star to owe this song :) this is a cover version of it, but i must say, a very good cover;

[Sarah1990loveshg]

@TheMondaygirl ahh I am so unknowing. Thank you for your answer :D. Gosh I wish we had this good music again. Although there are a few good singers

[TheMondaygirl]

@Sarah1990loveshg : Don't worry about that. Music like books are immortals. they go on living and we have a chance to admire it .. :) there are millions of those who check out the past, that's the best thing about present ;)

[keaton1895]

@TheMondaygirl Ray Charles still does it better.

[TheMondaygirl]

@keaton1895 : every time anyone comments, someone has to come and fucking compare smth to smth else. both are good, can u just listen and enjoy? nobody asked which one was better

[keaton1895]

@TheMondaygirl I can listen and enjoy but Eric Burdon just dose not have the soul that Charles puts into the song. And this is just an opinion so just don't get your panties in a wad.

[TheMondaygirl]

@keaton1895 : so not to get that dear 56 year old "gentelman", don't answer on my comment, when i didn't make any comparison,or asked anything. you could just write it in general but u answered my comment,so that's why u got it. and clearly it's the rock version and has the rock soul, while charles' version has the bluse and soul and so what?

[TheMondaygirl]

one of the best versions.. crazy-ly crazy great version

[mojnickjestcienki]

oh, it's not PIERDOLNIĘCIE :/

[Sadolit]

Damn, I love psychodelic rock.

[Sadolit]

@Sadolit

Oops, I meant "Psychedelic"

[RockerJack15]

my names jack

[johnnystulic42]

@RockerJack15 And yet I've got a feeling you're gonna come back.

[Eralun]

Amazing.

[THCSOUNDS1]

Sin palabras...

[erock195]

I assume he's saying Jack as in Jacky?

[bigbabydean]

does Alan Price play the keyboard here?

[BurnYourCash]

hit the road jack kentucky fried chickens got more!

[McLovinUrMom2]

Whom came up with this song first? Ray Charles or The Animals???

[olafurhh03]

@McLovinUrMom2 Neither. It was Percy Mayfield.

[7sadbeeyotsh7]

51 people hit the side walk

[themanitasdeplomo]

@7sadbeeyotsh7 And broke their nose!

[Corleone2239]

@7sadbeeyotsh7 LMAO!

[dafchan1]

I love it. So timeless!

[teunie1]

<3

[HEARTIUS]

Really funny song. We made a "vocal play" cover of this. I find it interesting, I'll take the opportunity of this comment to propose you to watch it on my channel ;)

Nice day everyone

[ThePredatorsarebeast]

this is fucking gay theyu ruined it

[superjuanito67]

una version acid rock q buena onda

[TheJucika]

The Animals was much better than I thougt they were in 1964-65! I can see now, they are reallyi good, and Eric (Burdon) is fantastic! He should be the same place than Sting and other from the sixtiees!

[d15bvteKKK]

awsome.. jam 

[dalgroves10]

THIS is England!

[alstrada]

great

[MrDj1412]

This is awesome - pure music talent..



[OCEANQUEEN1]

Wow, what a voice, Goooooosh !!!

[Iness244]

I love <3

[metalmusiking]

big fan of the animals but this is a horrible cover they took out all of the energy made it boring and overally awfull wish it was more in the style of the house of the rising sun.

[VerhoogtMarco]

@metalmusiking Isnt this the original?

[metalmusiking]

@VerhoogtMarco original version is by Ray Charles, the cool blind pianist guy.

[TouchTheSky4]

@metalmusiking actually the original is by Percy Mayfield, Ray Charles just made it popular.

[djenricomastermix]

@TouchTheSky4 quit spamming all of those vids with that info wouldnt ya?

[TouchTheSky4]

@djenricomastermix I'm not spamming.. this is the first and last video where I posted that comment! And it wasn't a response to you.

[simplenametag]

fu**king FAntastic! Yeah baby!

[Thebigoted]

OHHH yeh no moreeeeeeeeeeeee

[overthehillsfaraway1]

jesus christ!!!!!!! the emotion!!!!!! ahhhh i love this version!! The animals never fail to impress!!

[missoctober15th]

love this song by eric. full of soul. reaches right into you.

[prdaca]

damn this is good

[aiyahill33]

They were great....

[florian26260]

quand on sait pas chanter du Ray Charles on lesse tomber ;) c'est mieux pour tout le monde

[FeedTheTrollPlz]

@florian26260 What ? Cette version est excellente, et pour rappel la chanson n'est pas de Charles à l'origine.

[florian26260]

@FeedTheTrollPlz non je sait elle été de hemmet son manager

[FeedTheTrollPlz]

First time i hear this version... Don't know if it's better than Ray's one but it's surely a great cover !

[timjmoran]

This is a reallly Cool version.. diggin' the way they start off all chilled, then kick it up

a notch, bring it back down. Burdon's vocal is exxxcccellent.. and how great is it

hearing Alan Price play Hammond B3 instead of that cheezy Vox sound?

FABuliss!!!

[asorls1]

@timjmoran That is Dave Rowberry on B3, not Alan Price. It is from their last LP. Amazing Version.

[pordoklani1]

such a great version

[greatbighand]

Great version. Of course they depart from the original, which is the thing to do, otherwise you lose the confrontation with Charles.

[Bluelady4848]

29 people are deaf or idiots, or both!

[superjuanito67]

MIS IDOLOS THE ANIMALS WHIT ERIC BURDON

[johnnystulic42]

One of those men I somehow, somewhere must hear live before I die... Hit the plane Eric, and get your ass over here to Serbia!

[MisterDoctorful]

Нормал! Очень понравилось!

[ITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ]

WOW I NEVER HERD THIS BY THEM,....THE OLDIES RADIO ALWAYS SEEMS TO PLAY THE ONE SONG ALL THE TIME.....DONT LET ME BE MIS UNDER STOOD AND NEVER MANY OTHERS....THIS WASNT BAD.....

[deathmetaleronofalso]

this is the drug version of this song hahahah yay

[LeGrandSoir]

@deathmetaleronofalso

Well know fact : Ray charles was a junkie :x

[Kloie12345YARR]

Mmmm such a wonderful version. 

[carolinagsings77]

Their lyrics are not just lyrics...

[paygi110709]

Not bad.

[00kosar00]

wanna be ray is the king 

[nicoletwin91]

LOVE IT ... that is all :D

[MrsTitti58]

veramente suggestiva questa versione del famoso brano...bravi, mi siete piaciuti!

[metalmusiking]

big animals fan but this cover sucks.

[BalUWeteranow]

Wow this is awesome.

[obz211]

this is shit

[jaames2295]

@obz211 I'm gonna go ahead you made a mistake by calling this shit. Lets say you really meant this song is THE shit right?

[shotdonkey]

we can quarrel all day and night about who`s version is better, ray`s or eric`s.

fact of the matter is, this is one killer version right here. it has it all: conviction, thrill and sterling musicianship. as far as vocaliists go, eric burdon was THE best white r`n`b shouter EVER, bar none!

if anybody should think is incorrect, I challenge him to hear eric burdon and WAR do "tobacco road" (on "declares war") and then come back here to still claim otherwise. eric burdon is the man!

[ernesto56052]

the animals onemore time ,great version

[xplovasx]

Maan, this version is so damn great!!! His voice rocks, that organ fits here so well!!! God, i love these guys!

[MohammadAlli]

Cover!!!!

The original is from Ray Charles!!

Cover!!!

[MrsTitti58]

@MohammadAlli lo sappiamo da tanto tempo, sai?

[funkadelikaminika]

EL COVER EXCELENTE DEL BUEN RAY CHARLES DUDES!

[BXGUY73]

Nice TRY! Ray Charles sings this WAY BETTER, of course.

[SuperLadypamela]

@BXGUY73 that's your opinion, don't be rude

[BluelightSpike]

This one has another feeling to it.

Ray Charles version was all Funky, all "I'm hurt, i don't care, you go away..."

This one feels like "I'm hurt, i'm still not over it, however... I'm kind of begging for u to go..."

That's how i get this cover, of course, just my humble, petty opinnion.

[cookmoore]

This is awesome as usual!

[hamtarovideo]

It would be so funny if one of the guys name was jack!! LOL!

[debiedog1]

Don't forget, this was recorded in 1966 when recording techniques were more primitive - a great rendition by young guys learning their trade!!!

[TheAbbeyroadfan]

I'm sorry, dude, but this quality is horrible.

[TravelingZeppelins]

Wow that's a class cover!

[morgenschweis]

wunderschön LOVEVA

[MarkoVranjes]

WOW!!!!!!!! :DDDD

[astarmor]

THAT IS SO BAD ITS SO SAD THAT THEY RELLY SING OMG=[

[Samari86]

Awesome version!!

[angeldavidromero]

Out hunting

[dooup]

hmm I guess between this and Ray -the movie- I guess is a tie but other wise I think this group here....does a great Hit the road.. Love the start !! little music little beat then a final round .. great...

[BigTeste]

Love the Animals and all that they did.

Burdon has one of my fav voices of all time, and my respect for Chas Chandler and how he unleashed Hendrix to the world...

[mary1raymond]

Thank you for posting this. This is one of my very favorite songs, and I love this version. I'm going to hunt for a copy of the Animals cd with this song in it.

[MusicIsLifeHun]

i wasnt expecting this song 2 b gud but as i listened 2 it i liked it...mmm

[00pyromane]

Can someone tell an album with this song?

[ogtoigby]

i would also be curios to find that out.

[foreverstone1]

U know nothing about good music. The Animals is a greatest rock & roll band of the 60s. Hey Listen "house of the rising sun" or "Don't le me be misunderstood", etc.

[AsharakWizeGrynch]

@foreverstone1 For me, The Doors are better then The Animals, but they both rule. Long live the '60s.

[pandemons1]

God of music

[pandemons1]

Muitoo Booom !!

[fedex1224]

con esto lo volvieron a matar a Ray Charles

[Antiguarrosss]

JAJAJAJA, ok, las tienen "buenas" como el "I believe to my soul"..., pero si, con esta hicieron la madre de las cagadas.

[indianrivergrrl]

mmmm-mm-mmmmm....

[MissBellachen]

i love the song so much

wonderful x3

[foodboom]

Amazingly good!

Im mad again, smokstack lightning and hit the road jack all sounds soooooo good!

[davetheshaker]

This Might Sound Absolutely Mad. But has Anyone Ever Though That Eric Burdon Looks Similar To Joe Orton. The Famous Playwright. If U Dont Know Who He Is Do An Image Search Of Him. I Think Youll Agree :)

[psychedelicbluesdiva]

@davetheshaker I see the resemblance lol

[Alejandraspain]

Good music never dies!!!

[RAPHAELPRETO]

FODASTICO....

[han09hague]

love love love this!!...thanks =] ♥

[asorls1]

Dave is Amazing on Hammond on this.

[fordhastalamuerte]

no no pero lo arruinaron al tema para mi gusto

[tomcis2007]

seguro que te gustan madonna y shaquira jejejejee

[austinjamesiscool]

Man I feel ignorant as hell now. I didn't listen to the whole song since I thought it would be slow throughout the whole thing. It sounds great when the tempo rises.

[mick112345]

A great version of ''Hit The Road Jack''

[fanebabanu19]

@mick112345

indeed... a killer one 

[irishmanonthecan]

Nah man, it's fucking excellent.

[wsanders787]

The Animals Kill the Beatles, Hands Down.

[sapphiretaurus]

@wsanders787 No, the Beatles kill the Animals.

[mrnineinchnail]

love all the new animals' posts im seeing songs on here that werent on here before...keep infecting the web! spread it!

[Kamper66]

I will :) if you like Animals you should listen Chris Farlowe & The Thunderbird - What you gonna do at my profile.

[asorls1]

I love how Dave Rowberry played on thiswith him hammond .
