  • @MaxisickProductions The original is simply the first recorded version of a song not the most popular. The Animals recorded this song after plenty of people had already recorded it including legends like Lead Belly, Bob Dylan, and Woody Guthrie. The Beatles "Twist and Shout" is the most popular version but it's NOT the original. Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" is the most popular version but it's NOT the original. Clearly you foolishly have no concept of the term 'original' at all.

  • @lumbros2243 Please stop perpetuating misinformation as you're clueless of what you're talking about. First, you claim that they wrote this song when that's absolutely false as the writer of the song is unknown and it was around long before the band members were even born. Then, you claim they released it before The Animals when Frijid Pink's version was released in 1969 and The Animals released their version in 1964 before FP was even a band. Either you're lying or their supposed manager is.

  • Tem uma folha de canabis ali na almofada gente *-* sóóóó

  • @letybaumc Oh, yeah. Super vocals and the wah-wah guitar is just wicked. Dig it.

  • The song was originally a sixteenth-century English folk song about a Soho brothel, and that English emigrants took the song to America where it was adapted to its later New Orleans setting.

    Nina Simone recorded her first version on Nina at the Village Gate in 1962.

  • Timeless. My favorite version of this song.

  • I remember when this version came out I absolutely loved it. I couldn't remember the name of the band though. I just read on wikipedia that when they were just getting started Led Zepplin opened for Frigid Pink at Detroit's Grande Ballroom.

  • @fuckthefuckednick holy shit, these guys really were ahead of there time

  • and the first known recorded version was said to be in 1927 -= still a good version

  • @MauGino not just the lantern, also the iTunes symbol is on the right :D

  • Totally Cool! Thanks for the live show version!
