Ever since I heard the Animals sing that, it has become the soundtrack of more of my life than was strictly necessary.

Ever since I heard the Animals sing that, it has become the soundtrack of more of my life than was strictly necessary. — Valentinus

The Animals version was the first I heard too. For me, then, just a bit of pop.
So, being misunderstood - that sounds like the start of a long story.
A philosopher's tragic tale ?
Sometimes a comedy...

Just a young man confusing people he talked to, especially women.
Comedy as remembered tragedy.

Nigel Kennedy plays a barnstorming version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg_uEQdtn9U

Crossover violin virtuoso Nigel Kennedy has spent the past 30 years interpreting the works of legendary rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix. Here, accompanied by the Polish Chamber Orchestra, Nigel Kennedy puts his unique personal spin on Jimi Hendrix’s classic song “Purple Haze” during a concert at La Citadelle in Carcassonne, France, on July 17, 2005.

Nice try, lovely even, Nigel, but...
Something lost in translating the fire and storm of the Doors.

With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.

The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger – a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.

That's not so fine.
Just as well they found their own voice.

Because they were able (or learned) to take the time to record properly their own songs rather than (mostly) "filler" covers.

:point: The studio, in fact – not Brian Epstein or George Martin – was "the fifth Beatle". (And it shows when you compare their later records to their earliest ones.)

‘Futility’ has been twice arranged into a musical setpiece before – once, in 1982, when Virginia Astley set ‘Futility’ to music, later going to the 1983 album, Promise Nothing, and once in 1961 as part of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem.

From a grim story. First told in a poem and then opera - 'Peter Grimes'.

The opera is set in Aldeburgh, a real town in Suffolk on the east coast of the British Isles, and a real man named Peter Grimes lived there sometime in the late 18th Century. British poet George Crabbe was a resident of Aldeburgh, and in 1810 set the woeful tale to a poem he called “The Burrough.” *
Benjamin Britten also lived in that town from 1938 until his death, and grew up just 30 miles from Aldeburgh.

The opera narrates the story of the gruff fisherman, Peter Grimes, held responsible for the deaths of his young apprentices (his fishing “first mates”), who is then demonized by his fellow villagers, finally going insane from the guilt they inflict upon him. — Music program notes - Britten - Four Sea Interludes

☮︎!

Thank you.

My Back Pages
Bob Dylan
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

Girl's faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My existence led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

The best song to have sex to
Pony by Ginuwine. It’s predictable: it’s the Magic Mike song. But I don’t play music when I have sex. I’ve been married for 25 years, we’re lucky if we do it. Maybe I should put it on.
