    "Spill the Wine" is a classic song by Eric Burdon and War, released in 1970. The track blends rock, funk, and Latin influences, showcasing War's signature sound characterized by infectious grooves and rich instrumentation. Lyrically, the song tells a playful and somewhat surreal story about a man who spills wine on a woman, leading to a series of whimsical and romantic encounters. The catchy chorus and distinctive horn arrangements contribute to its vibrant and laid-back feel. "Spill the Wine" became a hit, reaching the top of the charts and solidifying its place in the era's music scene. Over the years, it has remained a beloved staple of classic rock radio and is often associated with the carefree spirit of the 1970s.

    This was cut so short! You need to hear & play the full version with the video showing them performing it - it sooo much better to see them perform it. I was a little kid when this song was a hit and my aunt used to play this song often. I've loved it since then.

    War needs to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Besides this song, there was All Day Music, Slippin' Into Darkness, The World is a Ghetto, Cisco Kid, Me and Baby Brother, Gypsy Man, Ballero, Why Can't We Be Friends, Low Rider, Cinco de Mayo, Don't Let Nobody Get You Down, Galaxy, Peace Sign . . . if that's not enough to get you into the HoF, I don't know what else you (or they) could do. Kool & the Gang (inducted last year) was the New York Sound; War is the L.A. Sound.

    The Animal's broke up, but Burdon continued recording/touring under the name Eric Burdon & the Animals where they switched from English R & B to Psychedelic Rock for a solid run. When that ended he joined with War for their 1st 2 albums. War carried on without him for over a decade and Burdon went solo.

    There is a very good video on UA-cam where Eric Burdon explains the lyrics to the song because people, me included, were singing the wrong lyrics. In the video you get an explanation of how the song came about, directly from Eric Burdon. I was eleven when this song was released. There was a time where I couldn't listen to this song, it was oversaturated on the radio back then. The original Animals split up by this time. I think shortly after this Eric formed The New Animals, or something like that.

    The Animals broke up - their bass player Chaz Chandler discovered Jimi Hendrix in a NY coffee shop, signed him up as his manager, took him to London and made him a star, the original keyboardist had already left - so Burdon firmed War, which he left before most of their hits.

    Back in the day, we all heard it as a metaphor for free living and free love. 'Spill the wine' don't stress your suroundings; and, 'take that pearl' - take whatever you prized, whether it was drugs or your girl's virginity. It was a general time of opening up to life- in whatever way you wanted. For most of us, that included SEX! So, the whole song was a reflection, or a dream of life.
