As others in this thread have mentioned, this is not a great song to play. Still can listen to it (not for a while though! lol), but I have no desire to play it again.
This one was another one I rushed through, did not care for learning or playing this one. Spent a short amount of time doing some practice runs and then recorded. I came in a bit late at the beginning and had quite a number of timing issues and rhythmic/note mistakes closer to the end when the tempo of the song increased.
Overall not a satisfying result, but I’m calling it “good enough” and moving on. Seriously, I am not happy with this one… but, I honestly can’t bear to do this one again.
A few comments I do have though (which may come off as a bit of a rant, I’m just frustrated at the moment)…

I don’t think this was a great choice for song number 7 as it presents a number of challenges (imho), at this stage of playing. As @Ant pointed out, there’s some parts in the tab Josh provided that don’t seem to be in the original recording. I listened very intently through several methods of isolating the bass track and just don’t hear what I’m seeing in the sheet music. Additionally the tab provided does not indicate any tempo changes, at my limited experience level, it seems there’s a few throughout the song, particularly towards then end, which don’t come through on the Noteflight playback, which gave an added issue of having to change what was learned via the sheet music when recording. Also, because of the fact that its a fairly long phrase and in a time signature that wasn’t dwelt on too long in the course (if I recall correctly), with a number of variations (as pointed out previously by others, these seem to result from that particular recording take by The Animals), just doesn’t seem to make it a good fit at this point in the covers progression. Again, this is only my take on it, some of it born out of frustration. So, take the comments with a grain of salt.

So, here’s my submission (decided to do the “Reaper in the background thing again”):
