  • EB DOES a very decent job, I hear he just now toured with WAR after 38 years or so. Like to see all those greats that still fuckin rock on. Can you blame me? I hope not-JW

  • @jarwick Very cool! I got to see WAR in a very small venue back in the 90's. They played for a few hours, then they came out into the audience and just chilled out moving from table to table. They sat with my girl and I for about 20 minutes, I'll never forget it, great group of dudes!

  • It should be called the sexophone...

  • dude seriously i luv this song cause my mid name is fight and trouble<<see my name is bader arrack alficker <<arrack عراك is arabic word means fight an trouble!!!! real

  • This is what good rock and roll can do fora song. A touch of jazz, a lot of classic, touch your soul music. Thanks Eric.

  • Burdon is simply in a class of his own. No one sounds like him. He sounds like no one else. I would say that's pretty damn original.

  • Great Video!!!! My son Joe fell into Mt. St. Helen's Valcano and for his birthday I was looking for some video ideas. This is great. Love it.

  • Wow... what a character.

  • The song was written by Merle Travis in 1948. Tennessee Ernie Ford made a hit record out of it in the 1950s.

  • i wish tom waits would cover this song
