Why does this song not seem to exist when I try to search for it in iTunes? It's Zookeepers in limbo.

Song's cute, but I did not need to see that whining git, James Taylor's, photo. Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

I know I shouldn't judge a band by one song but when i hear this I can't help but think Zookeepers is the perfect name for them...and that's a good thing{#Bananajumprope}

{#Roflol} Maybe they set the animals free, or adopted them out to good homes.  And I SO love a "cheerful little ditty" (to quote Bill.) {#Bounce}

Back at ya, dude. Yeah, I don't get it either. Seems like this one and Izzy's "Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World," among many, seem to bring out the worst in some folks. I mean, here's an upbeat tune about having fun and being alive, and WHAM! BAM! BOOM! here come the haters, like flies to honey. Now that Halo 3 is out, maybe they can shoot zombies or something more productive than cluttering up the song boards.

You're having trouble because the band was never signed and there's another band who didn't do their due diligence and are using the same name.  This song is on "Set Me Free".  "Leaving L.A." is a better record IMO.  I own all of their recordings and saw them live countless times.  They were a very fun college band comprised of some genuinely good human beings.  Follow the link...

Eric Burdon reformed the Animals with a new backing band in 1998 as Eric Burdon and the New Animals. This was actually just a rename of an existing band he had been touring with in various forms since 1990. Members of this new group included Dean Restum, Dave Meros, Neal Morse and Aynsley Dunbar. Martin Gerschwitz replaced Morse in 1999 and Dunbar was replaced by Bernie Pershey in 2001. In 2003 the band started touring as Eric Burdon and the Animals. After the line-up changed in 2006 original guitarist Hilton Valentine reunited with the group for its 2008 tours. The group also included Red Young, Paula O'Rourke and Tony Braunagle. After Burdon lost the rights to the name, he formed a new band with completely different musicians.
 
Thanks crockydile! I love this kind of information. For those (few I hope) who have never heard of Eric Burdon and the Animals, they were part of the British Invasion in the 1960s and had a big hit with the song  'The House of the Rising Sun'.

Right, perfect.  And the result is some of the blandest pop-rock to ever be played on RP.
