Career
The Animals
Burdon was lead singer of the Animals, formed during 1962 in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The original band was the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo, which formed in 1958; they became the Animals shortly after Burdon joined the band. The Animals combined electric blues with rock and in the USA were one of the leading bands of the British Invasion. Along with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Hollies, the Dave Clark Five, and the Kinks, the group introduced British music and fashion. Burdon's powerful voice can be heard on the Animals' singles "The House of the Rising Sun", "Sky Pilot", "Monterey", "I'm Crying", "Boom Boom", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Bring It On Home to Me", "Baby Let Me Take You Home", "It's My Life", "We Gotta Get out of This Place", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "See See Rider".

Drone (music)
In music, a drone is a harmonic or monophonic effect or accompaniment where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout most or all of a piece. The word drone is also used to refer to any part of a musical instrument that is just used to produce such an effect, as is the archaic term burden (bourdon or burdon) such as, "the drone [pipe] of a bagpipe," the pedal point in an organ, or the lowest course of a lute. Burden also refers to a part of a song that is repeated at the end of each stanza, such as the chorus or refrain.
The term comes from the French bourdon, a staff; or a pipe made in the form of a staff. "The drone does not take its name from the bee. It is a far older word," sharing an Indo-European root ("dhran, to drone, to hum") with the Sanskrit "dhran", the Greek "thren-os", and the English "thrum", "drum", and "dream".
Musical effect
"Of all harmonic devices, it [a drone] is not only the simplest, but probably also the most fertile."
A drone effect can be achieved through a sustained sound or through repetition of a note. It most often establishes a tonality upon which the rest of the piece is built. A drone can be instrumental, vocal or both. Drone (both instrumental and vocal) can be placed in different ranges of the polyphonic texture: in the lowest part, in the highest part, or in the middle. The drone is most often placed upon the tonic or dominant (play "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" with a drone on the 
tonic , on the dominant , or on both . Compare with changing chords .). A drone on the same pitch as a melodic note tends to both hide that note and to bring attention to it by increasing its importance.

G.T.O.
by: Eric BurdonIn Biloxi Mississippi on a street called Waterloo
At the roadhouse where the highway
Doe's a little number there with a 42
On a chasin' for some lovin'
On a humid afternoon
She's delightedhe's a quitter
He probably never will deliver
So she leaves him with his rock 'n' roll tunes
But he's still got the GTO
And he still loves to drive that road
He's still got a GTO mighty good
It's kind of gold
On the blue team in Virginia
Another weekend maneuver
On a weekend with per diem
A lot of work there for democracy
There's a governor from assembly
Reciting good poems from his memory
And all of his money in his money jar
He traded for one muscle car
But he's still got the GTO
And he still loves to drive that road
He's still got a GTO mighty good
It's kind of gold
In Malibu California
There's a surfer do you remember
He used to ride the big kahuna
With Robin and Finesse
They used to call him super hooter
He used to rock there to wooly bully
He's the one you can see him on the beach
They call him old man
Checking out the girls and their cars
But he's still got the GTO
And he still loves to drive that road
He's still got a GTO mighty good
It's kind of gold
Hahaha
My GTO
