Who had the best hit single called FIRE?

[NightTrain]

Poll question: Who had the best hit single called FIRE?

For the uninitiated, these are three completely different songs with the same title.

[Magrittes Pipe]

1. I am the god of hell fire! And I bring you...

FIRE!

[Deja Q]

2. Jimi Hendrix

Didn't know anyone else sung that song.

[Fenris]

3. Anyone who picks anything other than Arthur Brown is insane.

Or is it sane? I forget.

[flamingyouth]

17. Technically, it's the Crazy World of Arthur Brown

So, yeah, sane or insane? Good question.:freak:

[NewHampshireDem]

4. The Boss's live cover of the Pointer Sisters' "Fire"

It was on his big box set in the 80's ... great song.

[Philostopher]

9. Actually, it's Springsteen's song.

He wrote it -- the Pointer Sisters covered it.

[NewHampshireDem]

11. Well, color me corrected! I had no idea ...

I always wondered why it sounded so damn good when he sang it ... it just seemed to be a natural fit for him. Now I know why. :)

[Philostopher]

12. Hey, for years I said I liked his cover

of Patti Smith's 'Because The Night,' and only found out a few months ago that he co-wrote the song with Patti. I know the feeling!

[NewHampshireDem]

15. Damn ... 2 in one night! Thanks!

I've never been more than a casual Springsteen fan, though I do consider "Thunder Road" to be one of the best songs of all time. I love finding out stuff I didn't know. I'm going to have to look into what other songs he's written for others.

[Philostopher]

18. Both 'Blinded By The Light'

and '(I Came) For You' were covered by Mannfred Mann's Earth Band back in the seventies. I think there were other Springsteen songs they did, too, though none was any more successful than 'Blinded By The Light.'

[Kat45]

25. I think they also did his "Spirits in the Night"

[lfairban]

19. Kind of like . . .

. . . hearing Jackson Brown playing "Take it Easy.

[kodi]

24. BTN should have been on the Darkness album

a live version he does from dec 14(?), 1978 at the winterland in oakland is the best version of the song you would ever hear. i have the show on tape somewhere a round the house.

it was a great show that night, i was 23 and my mom actually got me my ticket as a christmas present.

[gollygee]

10. I like this one too - but I thought he wrote it?

I mean, not for himself, but he did write it, didn't he??

[coloradodem2005]

5. Jimi Hendrix baby!!!!

"I have only one Burning Desire. Let me stand next to your fire."

[realisticphish]

6. jimi hendrix

c'mon man! you definately aren't experienced....

Fire on the hill;
Fire on the mountain,
Drink my fill."
