Video Overview & Insights
0:44
Born in doesn't matter' goes hard af still forever. Top 5 grunge? he used to break the ribbons in every microphone people still don't understand
It's a hard world to get a break in
All the good things have been taken
The women’s heads mounted on the wall is way creepy. Loved the band though.
But girl there are ways to make certain things pay
Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear sable some day
love the animals & especially love this song, BUT wtf is with that poor woman’s head as a hunting trophy?!! disturbing…
Hear what I say
I'm gonna ride the serpent
How about the Rickenbacker 😮
No more time spent sweatin' rent
Hear my command
👍👍👍❤❤❤
It ain't no use, I'm breakin' loose,
Holdin' me down, stick around
🖤🖤🖤🤘🏻
But baby (baby)
Remember (remember)
A classic song, but the back scenery..... A little creepy.
It's my life and I'll do what I want
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
I just texted my daughter that I found her a job. She probably won't watch it though. 🤪😜
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
But some day I'll treat you real fine
I remember saying that my oldest son looked exactly like Eric Burdon in 2012 when he was only 3 years old. Now, he's almost 18 and is a spitting image. If I was to put a photo next to Burdon, you could barely tell the difference.
There'll be women and their fortunes
Who just want to mother orphans
Absolutely brilliant band. Eric Burdon was born on this day ( May 11th) 1941. Happy birthday Eric Burdon.
Are you gonna cry
When I'm squeezing them dry?
Jesus puberty hit that boy like a truck
Taking all I can get
No regrets
"Though I'm dressed in these rags, I'll wear Hoodrich, some day...."
Iconic lyrics.
When I ... openly lie
And live on their money
They really set the pace for 60's pop music. I like the burp at the end
Believe me honey, that money
Can you believe, I ain't no saint
The Animals were hands down as good as The Beatles. Eric was badass.
No complaints
So girl go out
Mc' kinglee córtese esas pastillas...hypiee
Any doubt
And baby (baby)
60s standouts.....One of many, in my birthday decade....Also covered 😊
Remember (remember)
It's my life and I'll do what I want
Before Jim Morrison there was Eric Burden.
It's my mind and I'll think what I want
Show me I'm wrong, hurt me sometime
Eric burden was a freak. I know he's still alive but he was a twisted se@ addict. The girls heads on the wall as a trophy is disturbing.
But some day I'll treat you real fine
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) Don't push me
Songs like Mick Jagger big time!
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) It's my life
(It's my life and I'll do what I want) And I can do what I want
ROGER ATKINS AND CARL D' ERRICO
(It's my mind and I'll think what I want) You can't tell me
(It's my life and I'll do what I want)
That 12 string Rickenbacker sounds so cool & of course everything about this song is cool.
More User Perspectives
Now the producers of the show would be put in jail for presenting women heads like hunt trophies 😂😂😂
@jean-claudefonderflick3958Probably the best tune of the late 60s written
@richardkent2014stay in your own lane world
@batchsamThe Announcers were such total dorks next to who they introduced back then....really L7
@sprootownLove the 12 string on this.
@glynmiller7509What a great singer. As good if not better than anyone performing at that time.
@Come-What-MayBrings back memories of my childhood
@Jlac34My good friend who loves The Animals.He was sometimes playing for me on his gitar❤ And yesss it´s my life yeeeh🎉You diside your own life😊
@MCverschNot hard rock yet, but already carrying its soul. Eric Burdon’s voice and attitude made this a quiet rebellion — personal, dark, and timeless.
@diverdragHappy new year all 2026 anyone still listening to this GLORIOUS song ! great then you've got great taste like fine wine CHEERS 💯🎵🎶🎸🇬🇧🇮🇪
@Stives197973 and never got to see them live.
But I agree Eric Burdon was a great singer/songwriter.
Really Great
@AlanCole-c8wLooks like Eric put in an extra line in the first verse and screwed up Chas and Hilton, but they looked at each other with a smirk and recovered quickly. First time playing the song and I guess they were still working out the arrangement, LOL!
@MarCeeJay1He had the most intense and expressive voice. Just amazing.
@johnking7772Love the mount! Should see more !
@ScottWallis-j3qNever ask my mom why she named me, but my brother ask, why he was named kirk..
She said Kirk Douglas.
So I ask, mine, she said her 2nd favorite singer.
Eric of the animals.
Band, I never was big in music.
But wow, this dude im named after. Is great, band is great.
JAMANA 4 EVER!
@dianacarlson6297Great song from a great band . Probably thought the girls on the wall was a little sexist but what ever
@JLF733Love this video the voice of Eric Burdon makes it more colorful than any other
@antoniomateus921I’m Not cryin Eric 😂
@sikinix-c2n🎉❤🎉
@sikinix-c2nEric Burdon, featuring WAR.
@jazzsoul60Its my life and I will do what I want soi mind your own f......g business
@Lisa-v1h7fAbout the stage set up, How can something be so Wrong, and yet Genius, all at the same time?
@1rhpsfanIs that George Maharis from the TV show "Route 66" with Martin Milner (later in "Adam-12")
@ronaldzent6321One of the greatest bands of the 60s. These guys as well as the Stones and others were in their early-mid 20s when they wrote these songs. There must've been some magic in the water.
@imbaroo2264Epic Group they should have been so famous? The Anamials
@AlanCole-c8wMay be my favorite Animals track. Eric's voice is so iconic.
@ThomasWyler-g1sGreat Song It's My Life: The Anamials
