Here is another favourite song of mine, Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, by the great Eric Burdon and The Animals. Quoting from Wikipedia, “The Animals were an English music group of the 1960s known in the United States as part of the British Invasion. Known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song “The House of the Rising Sun”, the band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. The Animals underwent numerous personnel changes and emerged as an exponent of psychedelic rock before dissolving at the end of the decade”.

The song I have chosen has been covered by a great number of singers, but I would rather have Eric Burdon’s version any time. You can watch the video below or do this listening comprehension activity. I hope you enjoy it.

    Don’t you think you deserve a holiday? I think you do but if you prefer to go on working then I must thank you for these wonderful songs. I really enjoy them.

  3. Ana Said,

    Hi, Javier, I’m leaving you a “meme” on my blog (www.inglesrosaleda.blogspot.com).
    You needn’t follow it, just… if you feel like it.
    Have a great holiday and take care

  4. Javier Said,

    Hi Ana,

    I didn’t know what a “meme” was. Thanks for being so nice.

    Take care,
    Javier.
