"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a song written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Sol Marcus, and was first made popular by Nina Simone on the 1964 album Broadway-Blues-Ballads.
It has been covered by many artists, and is better known to most people by the version performed by The Animals, which turned it into a rock song. A disco version by Santa Esmeralda also became a hit in 1978, and became widely popular with contemporary audiences after its inclusion on the soundtrack to the 2003 film Kill Bill. It was also used as the opening theme to the pilot for the US game show Bullseye.
A version by Joe Cocker played over the ending credits of the 2004 film Layer Cake. Other artists that have covered the song include The Moody Blues, Elvis Costello, Cyndi Lauper, Place Of Skulls, John Legend, Nina Simone and Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens).
Recently, a commercial for Christian Dior's perfume J'Adore featured Nina Simone's version of the song. In "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman, an intoxicated Shadow sings this song at a karaoke bar.
