"Inside-Looking Out", often written "Inside Looking Out",is a 1966 single by The Animals. It was a substantial hit in their native land, reaching number 12 on the UK Singles Chart, number 21 in Canada, but was at best a minor hit in the United States, reaching number 34 on the U.S. pop singles chart. The song is very loosely based on a work chant entitled "Rosie" collected by musicologist Alan Lomax and released in his album Popular Songbook.
In 1969 it was covered by Grand Funk Railroad, who on their album Grand Funk added some marijuana references to the lyrics such as changing the original's "rebirth" to "reefer." A reworking of portions of the song was also recorded by the Austrian band Novak's Kapelle in 1969 as "Hypodermic Needle". It was later covered by doom metal band The Obsessed, released on their 1999 compilation album, Incarnate and again by The Greenhornes on their 2001 self-titled second album. In 2001, Eric Burdon released a live cover on Official Live Bootleg 2000.
That’s a stunning performance.
Those guys get NO credit.
Are they still around?
I never knew how good I had it. No Auto tune back in those days, just pure talent.
3 wannabe shirtless Tarzans. Bad Time was put to prove they could do something other than this.
Better than a shirtless sheryl crow.
Thanks for posting. Good memories of seeing Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes and the MC5.
That is one of the best live performance recordings that I have seen. Thank for posting!
Mark Farner is the blue collar musician Springsteen has pretended to be.
When this was filmed - the 3 band members were 18, 20, and 21. Seem pretty polished for a raw sound.
Stuff like this and Jackson Browne writing These Days at age 16 just confound me.
Yeah, though I don’t know if they still tour.
MC5! Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa!
Still kicking and touring solo or with other member occasionally.

Saw Mark Farner after he had mellowed out (was with Ringo Starr and Randy Bachman).
One of the truly great rhythm sections in rock history...
They do.
Don Brewer and Mel Schacher are there.
Max Carl is in Mark Farner’s spot and is great.
Mark Chatfield plays guitar as well and Tim Cashien plays keys.
It’s a VERY good band.
They sure get credit from me. I am always stunned when I hear the studio rendition of “Aimless Lady”. It has all the elements of good ol rock n roll.
Ltr.
I’m sure they are, but I just can’t get past no Mark Farner singing “We’re An American Band”. Guy has one helluva growl.
