Animals Please Don't let me be Misunderstood.

[1956Aca]

saban ih je pokidao :D

[jdotpdot]

I think this song is just the right length. Any longer and it would have felt repetitive. It was repetitive but it didn't seem like it given the length of the song.

Sometimes in a song, you gotta say what you need to say and nothing else.

[mwazi1]

AMERICAN ME!!!

Gosh I'm so jealous of my parents that they got to grow up with this music! we got stuck with miley cyrus and justin bieber... ugh. WHAT HAPPENED?!:(

[mangedlamardeesti]

@messytessy88 Stop whining, you probably have easier access to this music than your parents ever did back then!

[joeottoson]

@messytessy88 There was flash in the pan gunk back then too. There's quality stuff out there today. Tighten up, and go rolling in the deep.

[100fuckthepopo]

best songs of all time this new shit cant compete with oldies, OLDIES FOREVER

[morrisd9]

@100fuckthepopo

There was a TON of awful music back then. The good stuff has survived, but the overwhelming majority is rightfully forgotten.

EVERY decade, there is a new group of people talking about how awful the music of the time is, and pining away for the past. Ironically, in twenty years people will be talking about how awesome todays music was... Never fails.

[rudetoddboy]

0:27 you see the spirit of jazz... he was channelling the spirit of jazz

[VisionsofAliceTV]

doodah

[xtremelaser]

Now how many of you know that the Bass player Chas Chandler was Jimi Hendrix's manager? hands up, great memories this one for us oldies

[GATX37]

@xtremelaser : Thanks for the tip. I like learning those funny trivia facts. There's always a connection somewhere. Sounds too much like the X-Files, I know.

[xtremelaser]

your welcome mate, the 60's was the best time for music

[GATX37]

@xtremelaser Indeed. Thanks to the fact that my dad is born in the end of the 50's, he's got several music bands records that he showed and played for me, he told me several odd things about a lot of bands which had weird stuff going on... Like about the Beatles for instance. Have you ever paid a close attention on the Abbey Road album, noticed weird things perhaps?

[2patrock]

@GATX37 I was born in the late fifties like your DAD yep we noticed everything on the Beatles albums-whole cults arose from our collective Teen angst over the secret messages; the Walrus..here's another clue for you all.. LOL

[GATX37]

@2patrock The Walrus? Well you got me there. Could you enlighten me about that?

[2patrock]

@GATX37 -The Walrus was Paul....

[2patrock]

@2patrock Tere was a rumor that gained attention and a subculture to spread it-that Paul was really dead. Paul's bare feet on Abbey Road his suit -was seen as Paul as a corpse= funeral home ready. Also the license plate on the VW Bug on the original album has a meaning too also the numbers in the stone wall/fence if I remember right-oh yeah Revolution #9 off the white album-listen to it ---backwards----shhhh :)

[lakers24suns]

thumbs up if your listening to this back in 1959 before this song even came out.

[2patrock]

@lakers24suns

listening back in '59 before it came out? good drugs you got<-hey I want what he's having-if you remember the sixties-you weren't there/ you definitely were not stoned ENUFF-on behalf of shrooms everywhere I click thumbs up-like it was 1959

[gord204]

[JuggaloFaygoDrinker]

Well, if to be great is to be misunderstood, I guess they do not want to be great.

[bbrown62389]

Thumbs up if you think Lil Wayne is a thief!!!

[thecoolestfreak]

why is this too short

[AnunnakiThe1]

@thecoolestfreak because this is the original

[thecoolestfreak]

@AnunnakiThe1 There are other verisons?

[OmegsDaWalri]

@AnunnakiThe1 No it isn't, Nina Simone recorded the original, in 1964. The Animals sang it in 1965.

[misery666mielec]

It's way too short...

[drunkdancinghippie]

[payamalo]

I love this jam

[algor123]

i think the guitar player is a robot

[SenfMann132]

@algor123 Nice one. Made me laugh. :)

[Soldatsmoonsong]

@algor123 Nah to long ago for robotics, I say he is a old school troll... He is good at that troll face!

[koshti09]

@algor123 I think your a robot, trying to take over the world by making humans seem like your own kind O_o

[jimmymcwick]

@algor123 I was thinking the Robotic Keyboard/Cassio Player was worse.... check out 0:43 into this

[RIPcaseycalvert911]

it seems that the older i get, i realize that this is real music. i could sure listen to these songs all day. i love them (: you dont have to grow up in their time to love something that was made in that time

[whocare777]

today is 01/08/2012 Still very good song and will be the best forever..

[Marcos19040]

Everybody properly dresses of Spock! x:

[myfanniejigglesaboot]

all great music started with the psalms. gospel, slave songs, the blues and rock n roll all began with those who were one the brink of hell and used music as a defense. and they were all inspired from the psalms of david. i hope one day there will be THAT gap into which an artist will creep and set the whole world on fire with truth.

[kimonsk]

Eric Burdon sounds like Stelios Kazantzidis (a famous Greek rebetiko singer) on this song. And the 12-string guitar riff sounds like bouzouki too.

[dlambp25]

American Me brought me here

[Trevorjenos94]

Lil Wayne covered this song. And well, it was god awful. As expected. If you don't know Lil Wayne, your lucky.

[MaryJane96DeepSmoker]

@Trevorjenos94

Oh Lord You Were Right After This Coment I Went To Check Out Lil Wayns Version

I Regret It Now Its Aweful !

[mlc6000]

muy buena version

[TheBloodg4life]

this is nina simones song like her version way much better

[ObliviousBurrito]

Open your eyes ese.

[CZRXCZR]

@ObliviousBurrito Not too many people will get your comment. What ObliviousBurrito is refering to is a scene from the film, American Me. (it involves an Asian, Mexican Mafia member stabbing another Mexican Mafia member in the chest.)

[1highplains]

i think the organist is getting into it at 0:50

[pohika55]

Thank you. Hungary Debrecen.

[ViktorSchelling]

I won't just watch this in 2008, 2009, 20010, 2011, 2012 or whatever. This music is timeless and therefor I will always keep listening to it.

[MrPhilantrope]

@ViktorSchelling you can't , this video is online since 13 january 2009 , no 2008 !! sorry for my bad english i'm french and i listen all the years this song

[forelawnmikehat]

@ViktorSchelling If you manage to watch this in 20010 I'lll be quite impressed.

[gowaylamma]

@ViktorSchelling You said "2008" in your comment but this song was released on You-tube by Andre21198 in 2009

ps.sorry for being a wise ass

[1objection]

It seems that if I want to find a good song, I can't go onto tv anymore, no, I have to hunt for them on youtube.

[mrsexy8113261]

alcoholic vervet monkeys! wtf?

[atomikblondee1]

old vids of eric burton make my panites wet :P

[Bliggick]

To the OP: What CD did you get the audio from? This is a different studio take than the famous version I'm used to hearing on the original Greatest Hits LP and CD. I can hear different inflections in the lead vocal and the guitar in the bridge sounds different too. Maybe that's why you had a tough time doing the synch; The Animals lip-synch was to the originally released version. I'm glad I heard this alternate take, though.

[DBlockn05]

This song was written for black people and for Nina Simone, this group butchered and ruined this song.  Pathetic.

[LuckyLaza77]

@DBlockn05 no one needs your stupid opinion. they sang this wonderfully.

[captdonk]

@DBlockn05 racist, go smoke crack and listen to rap

[Honeybowtie]

@DBlockn05 Shhh!

[xXSgtWolfXx]

@DBlockn05 Shut the fuck up you stupid nigger.

[Salb814]

@100fuckthepopo you are whats wrong with the internet

[stupidscrewedseries]

@100fuckthepopo im not. fool.

[GuitarTonttu]

@100fuckthepopo No! I'm watching this in the year 1593

[SuperMrMonocle]

@100fuckthepopo Well I'm certainly not reading this in 2005

[buxy1]

@100fuckthepopo srsly, fuck you!

[100fuckthepopo]

@buxy1 fuck you dawg

[wowtrax]

@100fuckthepopo No.

[oldschool70s]

I dont hardly watch the videos but just looked up and , well I think I will just keep my eyes closed. thanks for the music, takes me back to a time I enjoyed. peace to all of you.

[TheBraintumor60]

while The Animals are good , i kinda like Santa Esmareldas version of the song. but then that was my generation and the beat was better

[SecretariatOnSteriod]

@TheBraintumor60 both were very Gay songs.

[r1g8p7]

not bad 4 the 1st run. its mor 2wrd the end tht its off 4 sum reasn. jus do it again. ovrall great job.

[aba2185]

@NSA666999 you must be 10 yrs old trying to be funny.

but its not funny and your not the first to try that so go away troll

[tru305gangstress]

@NSA666999 U....CANNOT... BE.... SERIOUS :o

[alageasia]

@NSA666999 gtfo faggot

[yesman699]

@NSA666999 I think it was decently funny. Good job.

[mickgjrice]

@NSA666999 HAHA : )

[ladyi7609]

@NSA666999 Troll harder, n00b. That attempt was so phoned in that a four-year-old could've done better.

[cowboy8555]

@ladyi7609 dude dont be such a dick

[ZapatistasForever]

Nina Simone....

[atomicpunk48]

These were the videos we saw on TV before MTV rolled around. How come these seem way better?

[Vet63ful]

@atomicpunk48 Because these artist put their heart into something they loved doing, not doing it just to get paid.

[mmafinatic]

@atomicpunk48 because they r!!! im sure u've gotten this a lot from this comment hah

[atomicpunk48]

@mmafinatic Your absolutely right, and I can't believe it. I guess I'm not alone. It was just a random thought and lots of people seem to be on my side. But this video is really pretty cool. Eric Burdon looks so damn young here. Where did the time go?

[mrlordsnooty]

@atomicpunk48 more to the point why do mtv claim to be the first channel to play a music video ?

[12catsinthehouse]

@atomicpunk48 because there's no auto tune or Snoookie, just raw musical talent.

[ekts1957]

@atomicpunk48 the music.

[Ace00731]

@atomicpunk48 mtv was around for a long time. and for a while they actually showed music videos all the time. Until all this crap they play on there now.

[techsta72]

@atomicpunk48 coz they were better. b4 my time but old shit has swagger

[wallowallowallowlife]

@atomicpunk48 cause they are? no lying. seems obvious to me. idk why you ask

[134dGE]

looks good to me

[eshlp]

Pieface RIP, Hapo says "open your eyes vato" then shanks him

[ThePistolero909]

@eshlp you want some grilled cheese ese?

[kmikl]

Sync isn't bad. The original looked like this when it was colourized, but not in B&W for some reason, maybe it was higher better cameras, IDK.

It should also be noted that in this set of recordings, they're lip-syncing to an earlier recording, not this particular one, and none of the instruments are plugged in :)

[sneak108]

This guy is small with a huge voice. If you like this try Spill the wine by war with eric burden

[TchompDatShiT]

Sure... She's was da first recorded and performed in 1964... "Animals" was just suckers... A type of ''Sad Wh*** Beetles''... Hey @marqee367... NEVA WROTE ...''THIS is da original'' if ya dont check if its correct before! Okay.... Black iz beautiful

[inedibleedible]

Just va bit off, man.

[eyehatehippies666]

This is awesome, such a great song. The Animals were one of my favourites as a child.

[snowjohn751975]

The Animals oldie but, goodie!12-25-2011

[marquee367]

i lik the original version by Nina Simone better. U can never beat the original!!!

[fotistiall]

@marquee367 man thats the original!!!loooool.....

[MassiveMarket]

@marquee367 THIS is the original. Simone covered it (she did a great job too).

[konvict072]

@MassiveMarket i this you misunderstood

"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a song written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Sol Marcus for the singer/pianist Nina Simone, who first recorded it in 1964.

[MassiveMarket]

@konvict072 Ah, my error then. I apologize.

[marquee367]

@MassiveMarket oh...but i thought she recorded hers in 1964...wat year was this recorded?

[newspapertaxis1]

If Eric Burton had BIGGER ears he would look like he should be nibbleing on cheese!!!!
