The small touch in "Dimples" that makes the song to me is that final sting to each time the main riff is played. It's just one note, but the way it is played is like one gruff burst of sexual menace. It's so unbelievably cool every time I hear it. I think that's part of the reason that the Animals' version is so different because, like you said, they couldn't necessarily match the creepier spirit of the song and instead made it a ferocious dance song. I love both versions though. Great review George, really brightens every morning to read a new review from you.
I'm glad your back and I look forward to all go your reviews.

Totally agree, that note absolutely makes the song, and the Animals really managed to spot it out and emphasize it.
