Finally, I finished the Shortest Thoughts Episodes series! Here's a preview of my last entry titled "The Long Day is Over."

I have a lot to tell, so I'm gonna make it short. I piloted the biggest ship ever in my life and went outside the solar system. Pretty cool, if you look at it. I'm the smallest and my brothers put me in charge at the helm and fly the ship that's huge and you need bigger muscles to do it, but I took it naturally.

Man, I remember the comment I read after the airshow.

Hilton Valentine *May 21, 1943

my collection of ateez jongho photocards as the animals

because i opened my photocard binder and suddenly i had an idea. yeah it's so random

[hide-your-bugs-away]

Do you have any info on which of The Animals did the backing vocals in I've Been Around??? THE VOCALS ARE CRAZY LIKE WHO DID THAT I ALMOST CRIED LAUGHING

I so badly want it to be Hilton but idk if he was capable of making THOSE noises

ALSO you've been my no.1 source of anything Animals related and I cannot thank you enough- you've been guiding me through my descent

OH MY GOOOSH - if those backing vocals were HILTON I might actually implode from unshakable laughter... That's an image I can't get out of my mind now!!

(further Animal-rambling under the cut)

The songs "I've Been Around" and "The Right Time" have always been an enigma to me... precisely because of those backing vocals! To my knowledge, I haven't seen those vocalists credited anywhere on any official Animals releases/reissues... I even skimmed through Sean Egan's "Animal Tracks" biography to see if anything is mentioned in the section discussing the Animals' first album... and shoot, nothing! I'm assuming they're just session vocalists of some kind that Mickie Most managed to wrangle together, and their range suggests they're probably girls... but seriously, I can't find anything about them and it's a shame that they haven't been credited! ...Unless it is Hilton (and maybe Chas and Alan) really exercising their potential in the backing-vocal-department... 👀

In all honesty, Hilton's vocals are the most difficult for me to listen for in the songs... I mean, I know he does do back-up vocals sometimes (live performances where he has a microphone prove this!), but he's the only member of the band where I can't describe his vocal style or point to one specific studio/live recording where I know for sure that I hear him. Eric and especially Chas' vocals really overpower him when they're loosely harmonizing together, and he doesn't have as accented of a vocal style as Alan does... Perhaps I sometimes get him and Dave's vocals mixed-up, but Dave has a distinct, deep voice that's pretty easy to match to his face after watching video performances of them. ...I think this is just a sign that I gotta listen to Hilton's solo albums to get a feel for his vocals!

(As an aside, the difficulty of hearing Hilton's vocals serves as a perfect parallel to how frustrating it is that there's almost no interview audio/footage of him from the 60s-era of the band... There's written articles, thank goodness, but legit the only actual footage we have of him speaking during this period is from that cropped documentary footage of the Animals arguing with their American publicist in August of 1966... right before breaking up lol. WE, AS A SOCIETY, ARE SO STARVED OF HILTON CONTENT!!!)

ANYWAY... here I am using your ask as an excuse to ramble aaAAA GOSH I LOVE TALKING ABOUT THESE GUYS!! Thank you so much for reaching out - seriously, receiving asks/questions/comments about the Animals absolutely make my day and I am so incredibly happy to be able to have shared them!! Knowing that you're using my blog and content as a resource... aaAAA I'M CRYING A A AAA HAPPY TEARS AAAAAA!! Welcome to Animal-Madness, so glad you've chosen this fractured and chaotic band to invest some braincells into 🥹🫶🐾

The Animals React To You Coming Out

[hilton-my-luvx]

Just created a quiz about the Animals !

Go check it out - It's on a website named Quotev

Which member of the Animals are you ?

As the title says ! If you don't know them, it's a band from the 1960s that I highly recommend. They make great music ! It's better to do it
