I thought I had never heard this song before, but I have heard the chorus!

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there is flute in this song! The flute was exciting, but the style of storytelling was interesting. It seems like this was new for the time. It was interesting to read that Eric Burden was considered the first Latin rapper because of this track.

I hope you find all of the flute knowledge tid-bits fun!

Eric Burton and the Animals is his more established band. "House of the Rising Sun", "Sky Pilot", and many more from The Animals for you to check out!

Eric Burdon (notice the "o") only had a couple of albums with WAR, this one was on the radio all the time. I've got the first album, but not the second one. The other song that was pretty good was "Tobacco Road" which was a pretty long song. A lot of the music from the 70's included longer, more story type of songs (depending on the artist). You should listen to his biggest hit "House of the rising sun" (back in 1964). There are some TV versions, but pretty much all of those were lip synced (network requirement - no real until later). Another band that used flute was "Canned Heat" in their song "Going up the country". There were quite a number of rock bands in the 70's used flute, Genesis, Traffic, The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull.

2026-10-05 19:00 I 100% mentioned band member Charles Miller on flute in the discord post! 😀 That was the main reason for the suggestion. Definitely an Afro-Cuban feel in the organ/rhythm intro. The other songs that come to mind are "Oye Como Va" by Tito Puente and "Spanish Grease" by Willie Bobo. Both Puente and Bobo (real name William Correa) were Puerto Rican-American who grew up in Harlem in the 1930s/40s. . But as you said "Latin" music has a broad palette. Salsa, Merengue, Tango, Bossa Nova, etc.. Coincidentally, Santana (Jalisco born) did a famous cover of "Oye Como Va", and used Bobo's "Spanish Grease" as the basis for his hit song "No One To Depend On". All the original members of War were Black except for Danish harmonica player Lee Oskar and vocalist Eric Burdon. At the time Long Beach's (L.A.) Latino (or "Spanish") population wasn't nearly what it is now, but certainly the music had a strong influence on the band members, as did Jazz, RnB, and Rock, as can be heard in many of their songs. (btw..it's pronounced " uh-MAL-gum" 😀) I also love the organic feel of the music. You're not just hearing "music", but without even actually seeing the performance you can HEAR that all the sound are made by mechanical (not electronic or computerized) instruments being brought to life by human beings. It lives and breathes and moves around the room. I'm glad you enjoyed this one and discovered another song you didn't know you knew! 😀😀

I'm not sure which Bob Dylan songs you're thinking of. He does have a couple of "talking blues" songs, such as "Talkin' New York", where he basically talks the lyrics, but there is still a faint notion of melody and there is a definite rhyme scheme and meter...but once the verse is complete he adds two extra lines in a more natural, conversational style. https://youtu.be/rxIJnZQmTt4?si=I5T_DpdR6TTO7aMf The "talking blues" style dates all the way back to the 1920s. The only other song I can think of that has NO rhyme scheme or meter, and the lyrics/vocals are independent of the music is "House Rent Boogie" (1971) by John Lee Hooker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAWHXNG_4CM A more famous version of it was recorded in 1977 by George Thorogood & the Destroyers where he combines "House Rent Boogie" with another old blues song "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer". You may have heard that song. I guarantee your Dad knows it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCtQKGyfW3k [side note- Thorogood's catalog is mostly high-energy covers of older Blues and Country songs which gave him several hits, such as Hank Williams' "Move It On Over" and Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?", but he is probably most famous for his original 1982 song "Bad to the Bone".]
