“Animal Magnetism” by Scorpions appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1990. It was first released in 1980 on the album Animal Magnetism. Its best result is #752 on the Z-Rock Top 1001 Songs of All-Time (1990). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #1,956 hard rock song of all time.
The title track of Animal Magnetism, the seventh studio album from German hard rockers Scorpions, arrived in 1980 with music by Rudolf Schenker and Klaus Meine among the lyricists, and Meine sings it. Dieter Dierks produced, and the rest of the band's engine room is all present and correct: Schenker and Matthias Jabs on guitars, with Jabs adding slide, Francis Buchholz on bass and Herman Rarebell on drums.
The title tells you where their heads were at, and the album built its audience slowly in America, going gold there in 1984 and platinum in 1991, long after the needle first dropped.
