Great quiz; love this song. You should probably accept "girl" as well as "boy" -- the traditional (pre-Animals) version has it that way, as it was originally about the women in the house of ill repute rather than the men visiting it.

I think the disclaimer that this quiz is about the Animals' version should be enough. As a "traditional" song, to which any copyrights have slipped into the Public Domain, there's bound to be too many variations in lyrics to address in this type of quiz.

Agreed with BonbaySapphire. For me, the "real" version will always be Joan Baez's, and there's whole segments that seem to be different.

Another fantastic version of this song was done by Mary Travers & B.B. King on the album Lifelines.

Huh, I always thought the only time he was satisfied is when he was on a drug. In retrospect, that doesn't make much sense in the context of the song

Glorious quiz, song... Man, very few things in this world are as epic as Eric Burdon hitting those high, loud, piercing notes
