My WIFE has never heard The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun! He's chewing gum...

[@RockinMamaT]

The lead singer is a 23 year old with a face of a 13 year and the Voice of a 40 year old 😅So unique. Great reaction guys and Peace out ☮️ ✌️ 🙏

[@cdpwillprevail1]

That is the single best description of the lead singer and you are spot on. 💯🕊💕

[@loiskondo8349]

It’s so nice to see you and your wife doing reactions together!❤

[@ahoff666]

Wow. I watched this video hundreds of times and never saw the drummer chewing guy. Great pickup and great reaction

[@gregroberts8240]

one thing I wanna say is I really like that you don't just do a reaction and move on. you revisit songs to introduce others around you to these great tunes , exposing them to music that otherwise could one day be lost. my generation thanks you !by remembering our music you remember us!

[@peperino25]

Sadly we miss every 20 first seconds of every reaction. Don't understand why he like to not show the first 20sec of reaction ... We miss every 20first impression because he don't show face expression at the Beginning

[@cdpwillprevail1]

Your wife was so right about the chewing gum. As many times as I’ve watched this video cause i absolutely love this song, I’ve never noticed that. She has an eagle eye. 💯💕🕊

[@tinas7653]

I absolutely love this song. I was born in ‘68 so I was raised on it. I feel so lucky to have been born when I was. All of the great music of the past. All kinds of music on the radio, from super old to current. Some of the best movies. The Jackson Five to MJ. Prince. Nirvana. I was young for all this.

[@jettechdonatkins]

I saw Eric Burfon in the mid '90's perform at a custom car show in Wichita,Kansas.He still had a great voice.After his set he came out and was selling cds of his music.I bought one and got his autograph on it,and talked for a while,not many people came around him,but he was a very nice man.He was also in the band War.Great reaction guys.

[@Prozak63]

This song is one that is deeply embedded in my mind. This was very popular throughout the mid to late 60s and into the 70s. Every Sunday morning, our family would load up in the station wagon and tow my father's 1955 Nomad to the Englishtown Raceway in New Jersey. We children would know we were close to the track as we came to a hill, followed by a bend in the road towards the left. Just before that hill was a huge house that was beautiful, that several black families lived in together. We used to call it the House of the Rising Sun because the song often played during our drive to the racetrack. Every Sunday morning, most of the family members living there would be on the porch drinking coffee and stand up and cheer and wave to us as my dad honked the horn passing by. One Sunday morning, we crested that hill and saw shoke. Everyone that lived there was outside looking, watching their home burn to the ground. My pops turned in there for the first time ever. Needless to say, dad didn't race that day.

[@mikenuyen4441]

Wow

[@caroldavis9675]

Beautiful wife.....glad we got to meet her and hope to see her again soon❤

[@sandrasmith7091]

Exactly I've listened to this forever. It's confusing they don't sound how they look. It's fascinating. 😮

[@debbiesinclair-o8m]

Great reaction!! Your wife has the best laugh!! Loved "House of the Rising Sun"! Check out "See See Rider", it really rocks, "Don't Bring Me Down", and the live version of "Spill the Wine" with War. Chas Chandler, the bassist for The Animals, became Jimi Hendrix's manager.

[@wtk6069]

You brought your wife on to react to a song about a man going to a brothel? Brave man!

[@aura81295]

😂

[@thenortherner3890]

Considering this one of the first 'miming' video's (no instruments were plugged in), they did well.

[@browniewin4121]

This is the music of my youth and I have been a fan of Eric Burdon and The Animals from the start. It's always great to see someone discovering and appreciating them.

[@djulimurti671]

To me one of the most iconic songs of the 60s - and never ever again in such authentic intensity in later times.

[@walterfleury3840]

Greatest thing about the song. It was recorded in one take. Took a total of about 15 minutes and done.

[@ector6187]

The big smile at the end, is because the organ was being moved from the back of the set (at the drummers left) to the front of the set. My bet would be a couple of stage hands hustling the equipment around during the song.

[@jayhank5838]

Loving this, Mr and Mrs Reactions. Keep it coming, there is a whole world of music out there to discover. You have only scratched the surface. Great job.

[@badGamr]

I heard them on the radio long before I saw them - Then I saw them on TV and I was SHOCKED at how young Eric Burden was. The Best of the Animals was the first album I ever bought in 1966 and every track was a winner.

[@graemey]

His appearance and voice come from growing up on the tough streets of Newcastle upon Tyne, NE England. An industrial city: shipbuilding, heavy engineering, coal mining... not short on pollution.

[@Desmond.TuTu.]

Are you saying all Geordies are loud mouth gobshites 😂

[@Jerzeeguy35]

The walking while playing music is symbolism of a New Orleans style funeral march. As the procession slowly walks to the cemetery, a small band of local musicians play music (Usually a slow somber Jazz style).

[@karenroldan8796]

The one band mate was smiling at his other band mate on the keyboard. They were moving him, while still playing, from next to the drummer into position in front of the lead singer. 😄🎹🎶🎶🎶👏🏻

[@mikenuyen4441]

This is my #3. Loved this song for decades. Eric wanted the vid to appear serious, the rest of the band said "OK" with a big smile. Good catch on the gum.

[@mikeconway9849]

Great reaction, BP and wife! She's a keeper!

[@brosciencegutfeelings7058]

She’s spot on w the “True Blood” reference… That show is set in the bayou of Louisiana, this song is about New Orleans…so has that Cajun in the Bayou feel…

[@Roadghost1969]

Great song! This is in the end of the Martin Scorsese Film "Casino" when the Mob started silencing people...Gives me the chills.

[@amyblasingim2136]

To look at him you would never think that voice would come out of him.

[@nancy9891]

Eric Burdon was 23 years old when he sang this song. He has had a long history of great songs.

[@tcf_iceland]

I was born in the late '70s, this is something I grew up listening to, because this is what my parents listened to ❤

[@angelark2011]

I also enjoy it when you both are reacting. I agree with your wife about True Blood, it did get crazy.

[@StatsJedi]

I spotted the gum chewing the very first time I watched this. You've heard of walking and chewing gum at the same time? Well this guy has it all under control.

[@5024jdr]

I really enjoy watching you guys react together!

[@billybobc123]

The guitarist (the late Hilly Valentine) was laughing at all the action he saw going on in the monitors. He said it was funny seeing that he had just gone in a complete circle. Also, the tall bassist (the late Chaz Chandler) was also a manager and record producer, and discovered Jimi Hendrix and the band Slade.

[@richardmartin9565]

I was 15 when this song came out. It was one of the loudest songs of the time. Good thing. It was perfect for AM radio.

[@CJBW]

Nice to meet your wife. You’re so effusive & she seems so quiet&serene😊 I loved her bubble gum comment 😂

[@TheHogsEarReport]

According to Robby Krieger, The Animals were a big influence on The Doors. But I think we knew that.

[@aura81295]

That's what I couldn't put my finger on whenever I listen to this. Thank you!

[@Rich_N_1]

The story goes that they recorded this song, an old US folk song covered by many other artists, so they had something different to play, other than the usual blues covers, when they were supporting US bluesmen on UK tours, now it's, arguably, the definitive version of this song. Interestingly the big guy playing bass, Chas Chandler, was the one who brought Jimi Hendrix to the UK after seeing him play a small club in New York, he became his manager and put together his backing band the "Experience" present on all his earlier recordings. Singer Eric Burdon was a close friend of Hendrix and was first on the scene after Hendrix' girl friend found him lifeless in their London apartment.

[@bradsullivan2495]

She's got a sharp eye. I've never heard any other reactor point out the gum-chewing.

[@No1Foghead]

It’s WONDERFUL that you have your wife on! WTG!

[@tjrivers]

Learned to play guitar because of this one, an easy chord composition!

[@TTSGwlad]

There you are, Leadsinger Eric Burdon, is ‘The Eggman’ referred in ‘I am the Walrus,’ by the Beatles. I’ll let you look up why he is the eggman.

[@vern74]

When this song was released there were many radio stations refusing to air it because of it's reference to sin and immorality. My how times have changed....

[@TheSpaztickOne]

Please react to - Live Forever by Billy Joe Shaver. You will love it, it is one of my favorites.

[@davidharward8908]

Great song. Great band. The big guy (Chas Chandler) on the bass guitar later "discovered" Jimi Hendrix and became his manager.

[@vidpie]

The Animals broke up because they toured relentlessly and they made almost no money because their repertoire was primarily cover songs. Chas Chandler reasoned their manager made money though and decided to become one when they finished their tour obligation.

[@LisaYoung-y6j]

Carter Beaufort awesome drummer for Dave Matthews Band is always chewing gum and blowing bubbles too!

[@36karpatoruski]

It may take a few listens, but eventually the seductively creepy vibe takes you over. Not hearing this misses the essence of the song. Masterpiece.

[@davidmoor8096]

This song is a US folk song that sings about a woman who ends up in a bothel in New Orleans. How the Animals found this song and adapted it is beyond me!

[@graemey]

Probably heard Bob Dylan's version, three years earlier.

[@ChrisMiccolupi-j5e]

@davidmoor8096 it's actually about a boy

[@Glock007-os8xn]

It actually about a black tar heroine den

[@vidpie]

@@ChrisMiccolupi-j5e "'House of the Rising Sun' was said to have been known by American miners in 1905. The oldest published version of the lyrics is that printed by Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925, in a column titled 'Old Songs That Men Have Sung' in Adventure magazine. The lyrics of that version begin: 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 earliest known recording of the song by Clarence Ashley (in 1933) is about a male character. The lyrics of that version begin: There is a house in New Orleans They call the Rising Sun Where many poor boys to destruction has gone And me, oh God, are one."

[@danrumble74]

That keyboard solo 🔥

[@JamesBrendon-h4r]

Love when you bring your wife on. These videos and songs, every time you hear the song or see the video, new stuff is discovered.

[@wpollock1]

They are dressed like the Beatles did back then (and they are both British), but our man Eric Burdon has that scruffy look which is like the song and the content.

[@whollymindless]

@7:31 cute overload.

[@scotthatcher5043]

Oh yeah..this was my very first song I learned on the guitar my uncle taught me when I was young..my family was alot of talented musicians that didn't need notes on a sheet of paper...it was all by ear knowing where you are on your instrument from piano, banjoes, guitar, bass and drums...all by ear..my uncles played with best from Eric clapton to Mickey gilley ..great reaction guys!!!!

[@roger3141]

Great reaction to a classic. You should also hear Sina do a cover of this with a band. In case you do not know, Sina is a young female drummer who covers many older classics.

[@No1Foghead]

Thank you SO Very much for doin’ your thing! I enjoy every single viewing. SHOUT OUT TO YOUR WIFE!

[@terjeolsen489]

Watch Eric Burdon sing this today, He still got it.

[@troyshilanski380]

Hello wifey, always good to see ya both.

[@laurabarlaj6836]

This has been my ringtone for years.

[@earthangel6268]

Please give West SA a listen on KZbin. They’re a group from South Africa. Their harmony is awesome!!

[@yabetsy]

I love watching the two of you share songs - even better when they are from artists with who you aren’t familiar, although the song might be. Have you watched the movie Cars with your kids? ‘Life is a Highway’ was written in 1991 by a great Canadian singer-songwriter, Tom Cochrane - also a great video - long before Rascal Flatts covered it for the movie. A much more positive story behind it, and worth sharing.

[@orlandoochoada2242]

You should put the Mrs. In front of the 1985 performance of "Purple Rain" from Prince's Syracuse concert, or his performance of "Motherless Child". Those are some impactful performances.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

all time classic! ♥

[@tinalisapattern]

House of the rising sun was one of my first all time favorite songs. Reminds me of going in the car with my mum yesterday and the (oldie) radio station was playing (California Dreamin) and I told my mom (85) this joke: "When I was young, I always hated listening to the oldies song station, you had on in the car, but nowadays, they started to play really cool music!" 😜

[@kkong64]

This was the first vinyl recording I ever bought.

[@kennethslayor8177]

Jelly Roll has the line "I've spent some time in the house of the risin' sun" in the chorus of Can't Go Home.

[@dallasknight4854]

This is why music is so magical

[@lindahendricks1868]

I love true blood. My son told me watch it. He was bout 30, I was about 58. Love the song.

[@danhollifield]

I love the fact that this was 40 years before wifi, so none of them were actually playing their instruments except for the drummer. It was all lip-sync and acting--but that was music videos before the 80's. --Dan

[@joeykopack]

They’re walking around reminds me of a jazz funeral procession in New Orleans

[@bradsullivan2495]

This song was used toward the end of the movie "Casino" with Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci.

[@troyshilanski380]

Love ya both.

[@katiecollison6629]

I have watched this video SO many times but never noticed the drummer chewing 😅

[@frankscarborough1428]

Love this song. The animals were a great group. Maybe they're still are I don't know. Love seeing your wife react

[@christinec4919]

As much as I've loved this version from The Animals over the years, the brand new "Epic Dark Version" from Erik Grönwall is now my favorite.

[@justme2]

Do (Poison - Nothin' But A Good Time) & (Poison - Unskinny Bop) So much fun to watch, & the riffs are just killer.

[@KellySLC]

I've seen this video many many times. Never noticed the drummer was chewing gum!

[@jen7916]

I grew up listening to this song almost on repeat when my mom would have friends over…..first time I saw this video I was completely shocked at what they look like lol. Not at all what I pictured in my head

[@robertVirtue-mc2yw]

Song was sung by a woman, about a brothel. The great Leadbelly recorded it with his wife singing the lyrics. Leadbelly had worked in a brothel . Check out Leadbelly. George Harrison said " No Leadbelly no Beattles."

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

Eric Burden & Yhe Animals were Huge in The 60s😂

[@marshawoods4706]

Great song! Love your channel! From 60 year old woman that loves Grateful Dead and Tupac!

[@tomaroni6670]

..."Class of 76"...Singer Eric Burdon was 21 here...

[@dorisfain2193]

Could hardly hear your wife’s comments. Turn up her Mike!! Lol

[@scottluvisi9941]

5ive Finger Death Punch cover is fantastic.

[@johncox8882]

Every Christian needs to hear Amazing Grace set to this song. It makes it more meaningful.

[@whatlolawants2167]

Have you heard it with the Eagle's

[@LabadeeLuke]

One of The first songs I learned to play on the guitar. Checkout a Jimi Hendrix tune called '1983 (a merman I should turn to be) it's on the Electric Ladyland album 👍

[@user-ld4xx1el6q]

You need to check our Dolly Parton's version of this song, in a red dress in a smoky bar.

[@createyour2831]

Love the reaction! please tell your wife to speak into the mic when shes too far its hard to hear her. But love the reactions and song choices!!

[@cattewest]

Having your lady join you brought to mind a group popular when I was in high school marching band. Check out This Guy's in Love with You, by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.

[@nicarry7]

There are tons of covers that are very good! Hard rock covers are cool but my fave is Dolly Parton 😁

[@johnwarner6858]

The Frigid Pink did a lot better version.

[@MRxMADHATTER]

That tall bass player was Jimmy Hendrix's manager.

[@esmeraldapooner751]

She has a teacher's head she saw the young man chewing gum. They look so boyish back then. So did the Beatles when they first appeared on tv for the first time. Pre-hippi look.

[@hadrenspicer9035]

Eric Burton vocal.chas Chandler bass.hilton Valentine guitar.john Steele drums.alan price keyboard.chas and Hilton are gone.alan left the group in the mid 60$. Eric still performs. This was done in one take

[@mdh6977]

This was basically a one take video on a very limited time frame... the bassist, Chas Chandler, "discovered" Jimi Hendrix...

[@rosemaryabbott1020]

Play Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood for her!

[@laurabarlaj6836]

Joe Cocker does a great version of this too

[@Audulf-of-Frisia]

The British really used to rule music didn't they. So many good music back in the day.

[@josephdolman]

The big guy on bass guitar chas Chandler went on to discover and manage a young jimi hendrix

Eric should have blown a quick bubble during the organ solo.

[@barbbaldwin9451]

Love Erik Gronwalls version…… ❤️❤️

[@SwampmasterZ]

I'm 64, from Louisiana ,near New Orleans, this is a extremely popular song in my area,.....he's talking about a hoe house BTW,....the ball and chain, are a reference to sexual addiction, and all the other sinful things that goes with the life style, of a man who lives his life in the bad areas of New Orleans red light district.....and at age 16 -20, ..God knows I was one too,...I lived with a topless dancer and prostitute until she tried to shoot me in the head over her heroin, gun jammed, i changed my life

[@amybourdeau5311]

How can anyone stop watching True Blood 😮😂 it comes back around after season i didn't like which is when everyone's eyes got black and such but I agree, totally can see this in the show! Definitely has the southern soul that would fit into LA
