The Troggs-Any Way That You Want Me 1966

[SquareHeadSlacker]

Liverpool five were fucking horrendous, stop misleading people.

[Loverockdog69]

@SquareHeadSlacker WTF are you smoking. I love the Troggs on most of their tunes, but the Liverpool Five's version of this tune is FAR superior, vocally and musical arrangement wise.Treat yourself to some good weed and clear your fucking head before you make any more stupid statements.

[mutterschied]

@SquareHeadSlacker My humble two cents, bro: You are righteous to the bone. I've been on that other tune and stopped at less than 1 minute. One of the thou tunes that plagued the sixties under the line.... Then came the Troggs and made this marvel...

Naw, fella, there's no chance to argue.

[KOOLEO329]

@SquareHeadSlacker Up yours knucklehead!!!

[markbryce1]

A song I will remember all my live. Marc Bryce, Antwerp

[MsLoosylou]

A new posting of the Liverpool Five's version on You Tube also has a cute chick

[Oddsman57]

@MsLoosylou I first found that LP5 version on " Nuggets from the Liverpool Five ( Part 2)" on You Tube a year or so ago. Just now following your tip I found it on its own and the chick there is pretty athletic. I like their soulful approach too.

[paronomeister]

Isn't this a remake of the song? 1966 version, think real cello + strings not synth.

[flammasherman]

@paronomeister Yes it is, it's definitely not the Page One single that I bought in ' 66 !

[lexwithbub]

@paronomeister yeah, I've got the original, it's sexy, like full of anticipation... THIS version is $hit!

[DVSnmeSON]

why even try and compare liverpool five and the troggs. and the idiot that brough evie sands into this is retarded lol, two different eras first off and secondly, liverpool five sucks haha. someone had to say it

[scratchneck]

great song

[slippereal]

love this one

[pontello3]

the song is great but the pics of the chicks hav nothing to do!

[DoctorRadio]

This isnt the original Troggs single though - anyone got that?

[violetjm]

@DoctorRadio - If you're still interested, "Any Way that you Want Me (Troggs), original recording is posted on YouTube by MaxDerPeter; he titles it "Any way you want me mit Lyrics" so if you search by his name or that title, you'll find it. It's a very nice version.

[fabio7oliveira]

The music is good , but the girl is beutiful! who is this girl?

[Fortunate]

I confess too that, until a few years ago, I thought this was a Spiritualized song.

[FluffHead8844]

fucking creeper

[Terrilliser]

its got a bit of a Wild Thing riff going on there!!

[Loverockdog69]

As noted by others, this is fine but the one by the Liverpool Five is the best

[nomiclas]

it's just biology,in this case a great example.

[nomiclas]

i bearly remember this but i have heard it.OK.the babe is jamin'

[monihexchen]

pretty girl with a nice song

[FrogSAYtheFACT]

she dont looks like a model she looks like an angel with love in her eyes xD

[Doleafol]

The chorus sounds like "Wild Thing."

[Oddsman57]

Just found another posting on You Tube with the great version of this song by the Liverpool Five, another group from the Uk that recorded this first.I like that version best but the girl in this video is so sexy!!!!

[vachief]

...Tastefully done...

[mukamilos]

soundtrack of $9.99 ?

[carlialine]

she's like a rainbow

[walkandlookup]

could not agree with you more

[KOOLEO329]

For the last six months I have been carefully chwcking out the various versions of this Kool Toon on You Tube. This site gets the award for by far the best and most artistic video and the Liverpool Five version wins for sound and vocal performance. Congrats to Gband 66 for this video.

[ENS64]

Hi KOOLman...I have to agree with you on both counts as well as the congrats.

[sergiobyt]

she's hot

[garageband66]

I cannot deny that. She was a good fit for the song.

[mutterschied]

Thanks, fella, whoever u are, wherever u are! Thanks a f***king truckload. Been boiling my skull for years lookin' for this little jewel! Damn far out da usual pop...

[KnockoffNigeI]

She must be your Mrs. you lucky bastard.

[garageband66]

No, just a great photographer and in this case a great model.

[Boodwin]

I love the Troggs. Far off the subject here, but the girl in this vid is super cute. So shut the fuck up. Is the guy who made it  a bit creepy? Yeah....

[garageband66]

Define creepy...there was no intent for creepy...strictly going from an angle for me that someone this beautiful just fit the inspiration of the song.

[TMSgal]

Put me down as another who prefers the version of this song by the Liverpool Five

[JiS01]

who's the ugly chick in the vid? great song, chords very similiar to Wild Thing

[Roxsox221]

Hey ENS64 and others,the Liverpool Five original version of this tune is on You Tube...it's my mom's favorite tune and she introduced me and my friends to this fantastic group.Troggs are not bad either.

[Benayrunyon]

Sounds like Davy Jones.

[JiS01]

Eum....why are the chords the same like in "Wild Thing"?

[ENS64]

It's written by the same guy as who wrote " Wild Thing", Chip Taylor who is Jon Voight's brother ( and thereby Angie Jolie's uncle). First offered to the Liverpool Five before the Troggs and their version made it only to #98 in the US and so the Troggs gave it a go in England and got the hit there.The LP5 have some stuff on You Tube that is well worth checking out but not including this song. That's a shame 'cos their version is a knockout, found only on their second RCA album " Out of Sight",

[MB300TE]

FYI ENS64...the Liverpool Five's version is the third tune on You Tube' s" Nuggets from the Loiverpool Five ( Part 2)".Real soulful version it is.

[captainsoul1953]

This is not the original recording but a later remake

Jim

[Galericulus]

@captainsoul1953. I noticed the same thing myself. Perhaps like me you also prefer the original?

[captainsoul1953]

most definitely

[MachidaLyoto]

Spiritualized version a lot better.

[Steviemtothec]

reg is the fuckin man likes, bah bah bah bah baaaah,bah bah bah bah bah

[muvboy]

They should have stuck with "Wild Thing" and left an amazing song like this to the only artist who has ever interpreted it properly: Evie Sands.

[MB300TE]

Maybe somewhat right about the Troggs...and Evie's version is no slouch but go listen again to the versions by Spiritualized and the Liverpool Five, the latter being the first recorded version. All have their plusses and minusses, but it's a varied world and music is a varied art.....in the ears of the beholder..Peace Out!!!

[l2p]

Evie is fine if you have shit taste in music, but go ahead.

[TMSgal]

I still prefer this video once in a while cos I love the song but Liverpool Five's earlier version still the best to listen to.

[ndhudecz]

Wild Thang

[KOOLEO329]

Very Kool Video. Came over here after listening to versions of this tune by Evie Sands, Liverpool Five and Spiritualized. all worth checking out if you have only heard the Troggs.

[garageband66]

Thanks for the view.

[corporal1c]

WOW, The vidio is outstanding

[garageband66]

Thanks for the nice comments. I am quite proud of it.

[ferloma]

great song! but the video... i cant say the same

[MB300TE]

I found it too as one of three tunes on "Nuggets from the Liverpool Five ( Part 2)". Well worth a listen if you like a more soulfull rendition with backing vocals.

[lori021070]

que mulher linda!

[TMSgal]

Congrats this is the best video of all the versions on You Tube. I think that I heard this a long time ago by HP Lovecraft but I think that the Liverpool Five were the first to record it.

[ENS64]

I have the Liverpool Five's 45rpm of this song and it is one of my all time favorites . The vocals are so far superior to the Troggs and yes their recording was first and I just found it on You Tube.

[Oddsman57]

Me too...thanks

[Efrasnel]

I have a soft spot for the H.P. Lovecraft version...

[garageband66]

Do you have the version? Is it available on the tube?

[Efrasnel]

Haven't come across it yet :-( Maybe you can get an MP3 through Piratebay or the likes.

[rsuandrade]

Amazing song, but terrible video

[garageband66]

39,588 folks believe otherwise but you're entitled to an opinion.

[fannycraddock99]

Great song. My fav version is by Evie Sands.

[MB300TE]

Did you check out the versions by the Liverpool Five and Spiritualized?

[mymusicdiscovery]

great clip

[1doctoma]

L'pool 5 versh is excellent.... but the Spiritualized cut is godlike

[Oddsman57]

This is not that bad but I just cruised by the " Nuggets from the Liverpool Five ( Part 2) " noted by others below and I also have to admit that their version is superior to this one by the Troggs.

[martin1226]

Good track. That woman looks like a real heart breaker.

[garageband66]

So very true but she is really quite nice to work with even if from afar.

[ENS64]

Although this version is good, I just came over from the Liverpool Five version and have to agree that that one is better. Another version that I found interesting ,also on You Tube is one by the group Spiritualized.This video may not offer the best music is still the best to watch.

[garageband66]

Thank you for the visual comment.

[thunderboy985]

i rather it would of been icons from the 60's...would of made sence

[MB300TE]

Glad to see that the Steve Laine vocal on the Liverpool Five version of this song is getting good reviews from many Troggs fans as noted here. Reg does fine for the Troggs but has done better, like his fantastic lead on Wild Thing.

[zombiesVtroggs]

AMAZING

[garageband66]

Glad you liked it. The video is probably one I am most proud of.

[GiagocC]

eisai malakismenh!

[JackLondon13]

JackLondon13 I really like this song Troggs version is OK . I really loved Evie Sands version. But for me the Best is still the Liverpool Five 's Version. Listen to it on their site I bet you'll agree It's gor a great Bluesy feel plus a great Lead from Steve Laine and nice Harmonies.

[KOOLEO329]

@JackLondon13 Fabulous chick in the video but I agree that the Liverpool Fiv'e's version is even sexier altho the band is not asf good looking as her. Perhaps if she was in that band theirs would have been a top ten hit.instead of this one.......she is stunning.

[Roxsox221]

@KOOLEO329 Chick is out of site gorgeous in this video but gotta say that Liverpool Five version of this tune is better than the Troggs

[TMSgal]

Put me down as another who likes the Liverpool Five's version best

[garageband66]

It's a good version; different, but good in it's own way.

[keriezy]

wow! the girl in this video is hot. i just came out and she would be some one i would like to meet.

[keriezy]

wow that girl is hot. give me a call. i really love the song and your the person i think of.

[geator]

After listening to Evie Sands version how could you listen to this crap? Her version is one of my favorite songs of all time. Regarding the girl being beautiful, to each his own. Not my cup of tea.

[garageband66]

That's OK. I really wouldn't call this crap though. All versions of the song have their place.

[fallenbullseye]

a beautiful song. but an even more beautiful girl.

[garageband66]

I know she checks the site every so often. She is indeed devastatingly attractive.

[artlongjr]

Thanks for the tip, I just checked out the Liverpool 5 clip, what a talented band. I really like the

background harmonies on "Any Way That You Want Me", also the lead vocalist reminds me of the singer for the Chocolate Watchband...very strong voice.

[garageband66]

I'm not sure exactly how Dave would take that, (lead singer for CWB) he was very competitive back in the day. The L5 was more blue-eyed soul than this version. I've always been a Troggs fan though.

[artlongjr]

Regarding versions of this song, I also really like the one by Evie Sands and also the versions by The American Breed and H.P. Lovecraft. I'd love to hear the one by the Liverpool Five, I've never even heard of that band before!

[MB300TE]

HP Lovecraft I have always liked but you should check out the really soulful version on You Tube's "Nuggets of the Liverpool Five (Part 2)". It's one of three songs on that video...unfortunately there is no cute chick but that and other LP5 stuff is now getting a lot of attention. Check them out and you will know why I really like them.Check out my site too.

[powerkor]

early synth on this?

[garageband66]

I haven't seen a synthesizer credited on the recording of this song but that may not necessarily mean a lot. The UK across the board had much better facilities for recording and arranging than here in the US with the exception of Capitol records. Many local studios just didn't have the tech.

[sharonreason]

I love the Troggs, especially their song, Wild Thing, but they don't really do this song justice. You should listen to it by the Liverpool Five...much more soulful and satisfying.

[garageband66]

I have heard that version and I still find this one more appealing to me. Mostly because of the muse in the video; I just do not believe it'd work as well with her in it. Just my opinion.

[sggrimshaw]

A wonderful song and the Troggs do a nice job.I used to have a version of this song which was recorded by another lesser known but extremely good English band The Liverpool Five.My girlfriend and I saw them play in the Seattle area and that song was one of our favorites very romantic and soulful.I purchased the recently released "The Best of the Liverpool Five" cd on sundazed records and it is great and worth checking out unfortunately this song is not on the cd which is very surprising

[garageband66]

I have heard it on the tube and it is an intresting version.

[pherret53]

I think the Troggs were a wonderful band who left some everlasting memories. In particular their version of Love is All Around leaves the Wet version for dead.

But in this case, Evie Sands blows them away. She took it from a pop song to almost a soul ballad and left us with an all time classic.

How could she have just disappeared off the map?

[MB300TE]

Not a bad version but it is sorely lacking when compared to others by Evie Sands and especially to the much more soulful version by the Liverpool Five, both of which are now on You Tube. The former is under the song title and the latter is one of three songs on " Nuggets from the Liverpool Five Part 2". Give them a listen and form you own conclusion. The Troggs had a big hit with the song in the UK, The Liverpool Five's version did hit the Billboard chart in the US, but never got its due. .

[garageband66]

I have not heard Evie Sands version but I have heard some other cuts and I am not that impressed. But I am always willing to give most anything a listen. I never heard of the Liverpool Five, ever. I will check them out.

[MB300TE]

Glad to hear that you will check out the LP5 version and I am pretty sure you will appreciate the approach taken by that band, most of whom were playing in London before Reg and the Troggs got together. Both records were released at the same time but RCA did not promote the LP5 version as they should have. If you agree, you may wish to add their You Tube video to your favorites and join with others who are trying to get more appreciation for this "Best Kept Secret of Brit Rock"

[garageband66]

I did give it a listen and it reminds me a lot of the blue-eyed soul versions by groups during this time. I hear a lot of the Rascals in the LP5 mixed with the sass of the Sonics and Wailers.

[willembez]

Superb montage. Great photography. Highly edible model...

[garageband66]

Can't take credit for the photography or the model but I did make a great choice to use the photos. I knew when I saw these shots she was the right one to use.

[R0SECR0IX]

The Spiritualized version is also wonderful. Druggy, but wonderful!

[garageband66]

Never heard it but I'd give it a shot.

[pecorin]

Very good song! But who is that beauty?

[garageband66]

She is definately a beauty!

[garageband66]

I have a flickr account for photos and she is listed there. She is a photographer, (and an even better model in my opinion)and people do not use names there so there you go.

[sonnet1970]

amazin' track and visually stunnin'!

[garageband66]

One of my favorite and lesser played Troggs' songs and yes she is visually stunning, from several angles.

[sonnet1970]

when i was 15 or so i was lucky enough to be allowed to borrow a crate of 45s from a guy who'd enjoyed his teens here in the Uk thru the 60s. Troggs, Small Faces, Donavon (Hurdy Gurdy Man amazin) Manfred Mann, Spencer Davis, The Marbles - Only One Woman I could go on and on ...

[rslitman]

I know this song as done by others, including Evie Sands and the American Breed. When I saw the title, I pretty much expected it to be the same song because I think it was written or co-written by Chip Taylor (Jon Voight's brother), who also wrote the Troggs' biggest hit song, "Wild Thing".

[garageband66]

I'd like to hear the American Breed's version. I never heard them do anything that was not upbeat.
