Eric Victor Burdon (born 11 May 1941) is an English singer-songwriter best known as a member and vocalist of rock band the Animals and the funk band War and for his aggressive stage performance. He was ranked 57th in Rolling Stone's list The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time.
"I'm Ready" is the second single from Tevin Campbell's second album I'm Ready. It was a success in both the Pop and R&B charts reaching the top-ten on the Billboard Hot 100 (#9) and top-five R&B (#2). It remained at #2 on the R&B charts for 4 weeks mainly because at the time R. Kelly was making a then record-breaking run on the chart with his mega hit "Bump n' Grind", which stayed at #1 for an astonishing 12 weeks. "I'm Ready" was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rhythm & Blues Vocal Performance - Male.
"I'm Ready" is a 2004 English language song by French pop singer Cherie from her self-titled album Cherie. The full title credit for the song was "I'm Ready (D. Aude / S. Nick / M. Rizzo / The Dummies)" by Cherie. The song sampled the bassline from Foreigner's song "Urgent"
Burdon is a village and civil parish in the City of Sunderland in Tyne and Wear, England. It is south of the city centre. The north-west of the parish includes part of the Doxford Park estate. It has a population of 971.
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 Frenchbourdon, 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-Europeanroot ("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.

Lyrics:
I'm ready, ready as anybody can be
I'm ready, ready as anybody can be
Now I'm ready for you, I hope you're ready for me
I got an axe handle pistol on a graveyard frame
That shoot tombstone bullets, wearin' balls and chain
I'm drinkin' TNT, I'm smokin' dynamite
I hope some screwball start a fight
'Cause I'm ready, ready as anybody can be
I'm ready for you, I hope you're ready for me
All you pretty little chicks with your pretty little hair
I know you feels like I ain't nowhere
But stop what your doin' baby come overhere
I'll prove to you baby, that I ain't no square

In 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
