@socalcraigster I'll stop now. But let it be known, Nina Simone is NOT doing a cover of the Animal's song. They did a cover of a song done by too many to count. And the Animals' version is FAR FAR FAR from the "original". Just get the facts straight and there'll be no argument. You can like who you like. But don't call the Animal's version the original. Geeze.

One of my pet peeves. This song originated as a female lament. Can't stand that some guy came along and turned it into HIS. A Cat-house was NEVER, NEVER, NEVER the ruin of a boy, poor or no. It was always the RUIN of a woman. Have no patience for "boys" who have usurped the song to make it theirs. Animals were not the first who tried to do so.

@sinewave100 Forgive my interference, but Texas Alexander's version was recorded in 1927 and the animal's version came out in 1964.

Can't get much more authentic then this . . . Nina knows what to do with this song.This is as real as it gets.

@mamapanorama

i am not here to argue just wondering why it is never the ruin of a boy?

[sinewave100]

Animals version the original !!!! are you nuts ?

[itssooshal]

this is an old blues tune the animals covered

[moonboy49usa]

OK here are the facts, this song was already 100 years old when Lead Belly recorded it just as Where Did You Sleep Last Night was over 100 years old when they were finally recorded.

P.S. In the future a quick click on someone's name, might give you a little perspective...so you sound like less of a presumptuous ass. >.<

@mamapanorama

I left a simple answer to a man's question & way later you felt some need to tell me I was full of crap. LOL

Something about how I flamed your pet peeve, as if anyone gives a rat's ass about your pet peeves lady. : P

...& since when did I become a man? >.<

Guess you are projecting & being presumptuous again eh, you are good at that it appears?

...& who needs a shrink, what videos are you going on about? o.0

God, I always end up attracting the nutjobs. : P

[mamapanorama]

@Asuigeneris1 Hmmm. So while you feel the need to put someone down for expressing an opinion, and call people names, you think you are above it all because you are a man? You can call me names all day. And I'll just call names back at you, you little shit. You need a shrink. You are stuffing your own need to express what you really feel about things, which leads you to insult others. Go and watch the videos you have tried to educate us with.

@SgtZippzapp It would seem. I'll add, this is the only song ever I can think of that does NOT deserve to be. Men do not deserve to usurp the misery expressed in this lyric. In the case of cat-houses, men have gotten off scott-free while women have done the real suffering. As long as it's understood this song has been usurped by men, and that doing so, it makes men look self-indulgent to the point of criminal disregard for women, I'll rest. Thank you for your thoughtful reply, SgtZ.
