We Gotta Get Out Of This Place by The Animals

This was written by the husband and wife songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Mann had just signed a record deal and recorded this song himself, but his version was pulled when The Animals released the song. Mann and Weil were very productive in the mid-'60s, as they made the transition from writing fluffy pop songs like "Blame It On The Bossa Nova" to songs with more of a message, which appealed to rock bands like The Animals. The Animals producer Mickie Most heard this song and had the band record it. He was looking for American material as he was trying to break the band in the States, and had a call out to the New York City songwriters in the Brill Building and 1650 Broadway looking for songs.

I am well aware Eric sang “We gotta get out of this place.”
Didn’t think I needed to quote you in my response since you said Eric’s voice was perfect for “Low Rider.” Assumed you would know which post I was replying to. Eric did not sing “Low Rider.”
