@@ORagnar One reactor's theory is that many women turned to prostitution to help support their family in the late 1800s. On census forms, the woman would answer the "occupation" question "seamstress" or "tailor." Hence, when the singer says "My mother was a tailor, sewed my new blue jeans," there's a chance the reference is to Mom being a "lady of ill repute."

No kidding. I saw an interview with Eric burden a while ago, and he claimed that his voice was partly inherent but that living in a very smoky city like Liverpool or Manchester ( I forget which) and smoking cigarettes were also contributing factors.

Chas Chandler ( tall red head) “discovered” Jimi Hendrix in a club in New York City's Greenwich Village by the bassist for the British Invasion band the Animals, then on a tour of the U.S. With a plane ticket purchased by Chandler, Hendrix embarked for England in September 1966 with little more than a clutch of clothing and his Fender.

The song apparently was originally was about a young woman and the house of the rising sun is a brothel and the struggle with trying to leave that situation hence the ball and chain (leaves but always goes back). The song is old and has been adapted to various artists. The Animals released the cover in the 60's and changed some lyrics to fit in with a male perspective. They did it very well.

[@Mrs.L.44]

Absolutely one of my favorites! Crazy how this old folk song became a classic. More info on the mysterious origins, “Some scholars believe the song goes back to the turn of the 20th century in America, with the oldest published version of its lyrics credited to Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925. The lyrics ran in a column in Adventure magazine, titled “Old Songs That Men Have Sung.” Those lyrics go: There is a house in New Orleans, it’s called the Rising Sun It’s been the ruin of many poor girl Great God, and I for one. The oldest known recording is by Appalachian artists Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster who cut a version in September of 1933. Ashley said he’d learned it from his grandfather, Enoch, who was married around the time of the Civil War. In Ashley’s version, which switches narrators between a man and a woman, …”

The song was originally about a woman in a brothel. The gambler is her unfaithful lover.

[@Code9]

FUN FACT: No one knows who wrote “House of the Rising Sun”. Because Eric Burdon and the Animals had such a massive hit with their recording of this song back in 1964, most people assume Eric Burdon wrote it. Fact is, no one knows who wrote it. Musicologists have tried to track down its origins but it's so old that its origins are lost in the murky mists of time. It may even go back all the way to 17th century England in a form that became known as "Broadside Ballads." If it did originate in England then it probably came to America via some ocean-going traveler who may have sung it here in the U.S. and then others picked it up and it slowly got passed around. Also, if it did originate in England, then someone had to have changed the location of the brothel from its location in England to New Orleans, probably to make the song more relevant to American audiences. That is all speculation, obviously, since no one knows for sure what the original lyrics were in that particular verse. Another interesting thing about the song is that in some versions it's about a man lamenting his experience in the brothel while in other versions it's a woman telling of her trials and tribulations at the brothel. I first heard it by folk singer, Joan Baez, a year or two before the Animals' released their version. In the Animals version the narrator is a man. In the Baez version the narrator is a woman. There is also a version of the song by the legendary folk singer, Huddie (Leadbelly) Leadbetter, that is so different (both melodically and lyrically) that it's barely recognizable as the same song. Another early rendition of the song was by Bob Dylan about 3 years before the Animals released their hit version. The oft-told story about Dylan "stealing" the song from folk/blues singer, Dave Van Ronk, is sort of true but also sort of not true. The "sort of true" part is that Dylan did first hear the song being performed by Van Ronk who wanted to record it. But Dylan included it on his own debut album (released in 1962) before Van Ronk got a chance to record it. The "sort of not true" part is that no one "owns" that song so you can't "steal" something that is not owned by anyone. And, as far as I'm aware, no one really knows where Van Ronk heard the song in the first place. Back in the '60s, a plethora of folk singers were all hanging around in coffee houses in New York's East Village where traditional folk songs were passed around and performed by anyone who wanted to sing them. People didn't have cell phones back then so there was no way to record a song on the spot. So, if some traveling folk-singer happened to hear a song somewhere and then moved on to another town and sang the song for another audience, the singer might not remember exactly how the lyrics went and would just make up new lyrics to fill in for the lyrics that he/she couldn't remember. This happened for decades (even hundreds of years in some cases) and that's why there are so many versions of old folk songs. Musicologists sometimes refer to this borrowing, changing, and adapting of a song as "the folk process".

[@teresacartwright5406]

This was the first of a string of hits for Eric Burdon & the Animals, it was released in 1964. "We Gotta Get Out of this Place" has been used in a lot of movies but I'm not sure anyone else's version of either song is comparable to the original. Thanks for playing this & your comments.

YES!!! More of The Animals. Eric Burdon has an amazing voice and I'm pretty sure that he's in his 80s and still performing

[@daning9415]

This is one of the oldest songs in America actually. It’s thought to be related to songs in the 16th and 17th centuries but it’s been reliably traced back to the 1890 in Scotland where there were several well known pubs known as “rising sun”. It came to America with the Scott’s Irish and was a classic in Appalachia where parts were changed to include orleans. The Animals were covering a version of the song put out in 1933.

[@81ghale]

You’ve definitely heard it in stuff (small parts) because it’s in sooooo many movies and shows over the years. It’s a classic for sure. Cool to see you getting into the classic rock side of things. A lot of great songwriting and musicianship back in the 50’s-70’s.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Cliff, this is a traditional, going back around 100-200 years. It is about a house of sins, owned by a french woman. Her Name translates into "Rising sun".

The Animals were 30+ years before my time, but I've always enjoyed their music and loved their melodies. I play guitar, and when I was learning, I eventually stumbled upon this classic. I played my mum the chords of this song and said, "What do you think of that?" She said," it sounds really good. " She then produced a photo of her, and Chas Chandler stood together from 1968. It was signed by the whole band in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Never underestimate your parents. She's got one with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. I've got them framed now. Music was better then.

Many versions have more verses.

[@ronmullard5718]

The song “House of the Rising Sun” by The Animals is a classic rock ballad that has been interpreted in many ways over the years. The song’s lyrics are based on a traditional folk song, and its meaning has been debated by music fans and scholars alike. According to the song’s writer, Eric Burdon, the song is about a young man who is warning his sister to stay away from the “House of the Rising Sun,” which is a metaphor for a brothel or a place of temptation. The song’s lyrics describe the ruin of “many a poor boy” who has been seduced by the house and its occupants. The song’s origins are unclear, but it is believed to have been written in the 17th or 18th century. It has been recorded by many artists over the years, including Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, and Nina Simone. The Animals’ version, which was released in 1964, is one of the most well-known and enduring versions of the song. The song’s meaning has been interpreted in many ways over the years. Some have seen it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of temptation and the consequences of sin. Others have interpreted it as a commentary on the exploitation of women and the objectification of the female body. Regardless of its meaning, “House of the Rising Sun” is a powerful and haunting song that has become a classic of rock music. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its timeless themes and its ability to evoke strong emotions in listeners.

Great reaction. This video was filmed after the song was released. As I understand it, they recorded the song in one take because they had to get on the train back to their tour. They used the recording for this video and did not actually play, common practice back then. No film exists of them recording it, but it must have been wild with Eric Burdon belting out those haunting lyrics. I’m glad you played it. I heard it a lot through the 1970s. Take care.

You might have heard the melody of this song at Christmas time. Bob Rivers did a parody of this song on one of his Christmas albums. He sings "O Little Town Of Bethlehem" to the tune of "House Of The Rising Sun", which is quite funny. The lyrics are totally those of "O Little Town Of Bethlehem", not a single word had been changed, but the music and melody are of "House Of The Rising Sun". And it's amazing how well the lyrics of one song fits into the melody of the other.

This is not an animals original. I'm not sure but I think it's a remake of a much older blues song. The bass player is Chas Chandler who took Jimmy Hendrix over to Britain. Nice reaction ❤
