We Gotta Get Outa This Place!

This song is one of my all-time favorite forgotten oldies, "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", #13 on the Hot 100 and #2 in Canada and the UK in 1965.  The song was immensely popular with GI's in Vietnam, and is still performed on a regular basis by Eric Burdon as well as many others... from Bruce Springsteen to Grand Funk to Alice Cooper to Katrina and the Waves.  Another forgotten oldie that seems to only be forgotten on the radio.
watch here
