The song was written around 1933, and has been covered by countless bands. Probably the most popular version was by the Animals, with Eric Burdon. I always thought that the Animals version was the quintessential version, but check out the version by the Ventures (1966...no vocals)...awesome guitars! The second clip is Eric Burdon (the Animals) in 2008, at age 70. I know most of you phuckers weren't even born in '66, but check it out...you might learn something (probably not).

I'd take the Ventures version. They really were an outstanding band.
