235. THE ANIMALS - We Gotta Get Out of This Place

11 седмици; № 13

Автори: Бари Ман, Синтия Уайл

Продуцент: Мики Моуст

Издадена: август 1965, MGM

Създадено във фабриката за песни Брил Билдинг и замислено за Righteous Brothers, парчето минава преработката на белите блусари Animals. Както казва Ерик Бърдън, "ако нещо ни пасваше на нагласата, го намествахме в нашия калъп". С отчаяната си ярост песента става хит сред войниците на САЩ във Виетнам и поколение по-късно - в Ирак.
