This starts off mildly intriguing but becomes seriously irritating after a few minutes. If the guy sang rather than spoke the irritation factor might be reduced.

Fantasy of the moment: Standing on a mountain top nekkid as a jay-bird ... The best I've been able to find is that she was Burdon's girlfriend. Haven't found a name, tho'. |

I love this song, but it doesn't completely eradicate that nagging question about whether Burdon was the real deal—and he was a very good rock'n'roll vocalist—or an opportunistic poseur. Maybe he was just a vocalist for hire (The Animals before Burdon joined were the Alan Price Band), making the best of the material he had to work with.

Correct lyric: Spill the Wine, Dig That Pearl And it is dirty - at least that's what Harold Brown told us. The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is practically meaningless - I'm not sure why people give any notice to inductions ultimately determined by Jan Wenner and Dave Marsh. I believe the lyric is " take that pearl". |

I went and read about it on songfacts, and I was right about the pearl.

Pearl is also another word for clitoris. Maybe the song is just a simple sexual fantasy. Wine, women and song—-what life is all about! |
