That doesn't surprise me, it's the most commercial, pop-shiny and 45 rpm/7"-suitable one by a stretch.
In the late 60ies, early 70ies, Eric Burdon's status in Germany was thus that his percussive version with a fledgling War was the most widely known. Never a single, it was, however, a popular dance floor stomper in rock discos and widely identified with him.
And the Winter Brothers crowd (back then, people were interchangeably Johnny and Edgar Winter fans) of course swore by this here:
I think all three versions have merit. Little Winter's feverish sax playing (he learned his Charlie Parker well!) basically emulating his big brother's frantic guitar is a treat, but hardly singles material!
And then there is this here ...
Now we all know, David Lee Roth can't sing, but here he actually does a decent job considering his inherent limits and that it is live.
