      How did this song get in a poll with funk songs? Is it because the band is black except for Burdon??

      Happy New Year y'all! This is an unusual song. Would have been my 3rd pick on the poll, but it's a good song. I've always enjoyed it. Hope y'all enjoyed it. We'll find out in a little bit, right? I'm not real familiar with their catalog. Only heard the songs they played on the radio, so I don't have any recommendations for any more War tunes, but I'd urge you to check out the Sly Stone and Curtis Mayfield tunes before too long. Cheers!

      Such a great song... still crank it when it comes on the radio. Excellent choice, guys! Here's something I just found - "The chorus alternates between "DIG THAT GIRL" then "TAKE THAT PEARL". the song idea concept came from literally spilling the wine on the keyboard that they used in the studio. The girl speaking Spanish was Eric Burden's g/f at the time, they set up a TENT in the studio, and when she and Eric were doing their thing in it, they recorded what she said to lay over the studio track. "DIG" is a hippie euphamism for "like" ;the "PEARL" is of course a sexual reference to a womans anatomy. The rest (leaking gnomes, green grass) comes from lyrics that Eric was already working on when the song came together. The song in toto is a celebration of the beauty of all women.

    I mean... is that a great line or what!?😅 This is just a fun song guys. A classic for sure. A gift to the stoner generation. Can't believe it was 1970! Sheesh!! You really need to check out some WAR. Their album "The World is a Ghetto" ruled the summers of the early 70s, especially in urban areas like NYC, Chicago, DC as Alex alluded to. "Low Rider" "Why Can't We Be Friends" "Cisco Kid", the title song. These guys were an amazing fusion of Latin/soul and a little rock. Very vibey. Saw them in a funky smoky bar on the North side of Chicago one night in the '80s and they just jammed all night long. A guy named Lee Oscar blows a mean harmonica and helped give them a hugely distinctive instantly recognizable sound.

"Cisco Kid" "Low Rider" "The World is a Ghetto" are all good ones. Happy New Year Andy & Alex and to all the A & A family! Peace and Cheers!

    🙌🙌Happy New Year! Song was sung by Eric Burdon of the Animals. Lots of good to explore either way. War has an extensive catalog. They were a barrier-breaking band, and had a wide diversity of fans. They were just...cool. Their music is a blend of soul, funk, latin rock, jazz, and they had a unique way of blending sax and harmonica. Low Rider should probably be the next War song, but The Cisco Kid is a solid alternate choice. If you want to hear more Animals, try Don't Bring Me Down, and a later track under the name Eric Burdon & the Animals - White Houses

    I have loved this song from the moment I first heard it back in the day. As I recall this was Eric Burdon's first album after leaving The Animals, I could be wrong. I have never known anyone that didn't love this song. As for the lyrics he is describing his dream as he sleeps in the field. While dreams can often seem normal at the time but in retrospect they can be quite whack when repeated aloud. Their album "The World is a Ghetto" was a #1 album on Billboard in 1973. While it only had six songs they were all bangers. The Cisko Kid, Where Was You At, "City, Country, City", Four Cornered Room, The World is a Ghetto and Beetles in the Bog. I've worn out more than one copy of this album through the years.

  • @sentimentalelephantsamusic9730

    As a 12 year old I couldn't get to the record store fast enough to pick this 45 up in the store. It was in the charts, pretty much inescapable on the radio, so it was only 69 cents, which was still a good portion of my allowance. I had to give up a couple of comic books and a pack of baseball cards to get it. It was such a cool tune, even though being 12 I had no idea what was being what was being discussed in the lyrics, it still sounded so smooth.

    For your next War song, I suggest "Slippin' Into Darkness". "Cisco Kid" is my 2nd choice, and you should hear both songs eventually. I think it's better to have you react to a song that's completely new to you than one that you've heard part of, especially with a band like War that has several good options. "Spill the Wine" isn't a typical War song at all. I also hope you'll get back to Eric Burdon's previous band, The Animals, starting with "We Gotta Get Out of This Place". Happy new year, gents!

    Alex, the lyrics and delivery are very Beat Poet. If not familiar Google the term.
    The initial idea came to Burdon when someone actually spilled wine on the console in the recording studio.
    The lyrics I believe have a little more depth than ramblings. Partly a celebration of women.

  • @morgananderson9647
    @morgananderson9647 Před 3 lety +3

    @Andy & Alex -
    Great fun!!! - This would have been a great song to truly analyze the lyrics and have you address them more...
    "Spilling the Wine" was a slang term for the blood that dripped when you were doing the drugs.
    From SongMeanings-
    The chorus alternates between "DIG THAT GIRL" then "TAKE THAT PEARL". the song idea concept came from literally spilling the wine on the keyboard that they used in the studio. The girl speaking Spanish was Eric Burden's g/f at the time, they set up a TENT in the studio, and when she and Eric were doing their thing in it, they recorded what she said to lay over the studio track.
    From Song Facts-
    The chorus is often misheard, but the proper lyrics are "Spill the wine, take that girl, spill the wine, take that pearl." The "Pearl" is a sexual reference, meaning the clitoris.
    More from SongMeanings-
    Song Meaning: lying in a field of grass somewhere, Is passed out at a pot party. Spill the wine and take that pearl, Is breaking her hymen and taking her virginity.
    Love your reviews!
