Why would a gambler need a suitcase and a trunk? Shouldn’t one or another suffice?

Sit on the suitcase, deal cards on the trunk.

The University charges you $250,000 for a degree, then hires you as an associate professor ethnomusicologist paying you for how many students you can attract.
You'd do better signing up for MLM.

You should have practiced I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am by Herman's Hermits instead!Good one. I see what you did there.
A few years ago, my brother gave me a Herman's Hermits shirt that he had bought at one of Peter Noone's concerts. I was wearing it in a grocery store in Moses Lake, Washington and this guy starts eyeing me from down the aisle. As he walks by, he gives me a thumb's-up and says "Second verse, same as the first." If you're under 60 and don't get it, you might have to ask a more-senior citizen about it.

Eric Burdon had a unique voice. Animals were very underrated IMO.I was never a big Eric Burdon fan but he nailed this one. A raw, raspy voice is perfect for this song. I always thought that Rod Stewart could have done this song justice, too.

Wow. Just Wow.
Amazon Prime Music is my choice for downloading all my songs.
I just added about 2 dozen of his songs to my playlist.
Thanks.

Maybe. It might also be some house in Britain, since the Animals reworked the lyrics for America.

I just looked it up. It’s a good candidate for being that house.

I sang that song in a karaoke bar in Japan just outside of NAF Atsugi, sometime in the 80s. It was very well received.
