The Animals House of The Rising Sun (Original Sound) 1964

From the film "El Rey En Londres" - For those that claim that this track is speeded up would also have to claim the images were also speeded up. A simple comparison to other versions on the web will show that the speed of the image is identical in both. Any slight discrepancy between image and sound would significantly unsynch especially towards the end of the video -thurdi

Love this song! It is one of my all time favorites! Many memories attached to this song!

[@westrokker]

I thought this was the coolest thing I had ever seen when I was a kid

[@joshuabrooks4907]

Eric's voice on this song, and his facial expressions in this video make it all the more eery.

I lived through the 60's 70's and 80's. Fantastic music. I just wish i could remember some of it. Peace man !

[@john721]

this is a song before its time

[@LJBSullivan]

A song for all time!

[@tonys4396]

The song is ancient and in the public domain. No one knows who wrote it. Dave Von Ronk made it popular in the sixties and most people thought he wrote it. Then, Dylan did it on his first album and everyone thought he wrote and then the Animals did it and everyone thought they wrote it. Very old song.

[@johnsteelman6980]

@@tonys4396 I believe the song came from New Orleans about a prison .

[@tonys4396]

@@johnsteelman6980 Stop guessing and do your homework. Like many classic folk ballads, "The House of the Rising Sun" is of uncertain authorship. Musicologists say that it is based on the tradition of broadside ballads, and thematically it has some resemblance to the 16th-century ballad The Unfortunate Rake. According to Alan Lomax, "Rising Sun" was used as the name of a bawdy house in two traditional English songs, and it was also a name for English pubs.[5] He further suggested that the melody might be related to a 17th-century folk song, "Lord Barnard and Little Musgrave", also known as "Matty Groves",[6][7] but a survey by Bertrand Bronson showed no clear relationship between the two songs.[8] Lomax proposed that the location of the house was then relocated from England to New Orleans by white southern performers.[5] However, Vance Randolph proposed an alternative French origin, the "rising sun" referring to the decorative use of the sunburst insignia dating to the time of Louis XIV, which was brought to North America by French immigrants. "House of Rising Sun" was said to have been known by miners in 1905.[6] The oldest published version of the lyrics is that printed by Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925, in a column "Old Songs That Men Have Sung" in Adventure magazine.[9] 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 a poor girl Great God, and I for one The oldest known recording of the song, under the title "Rising Sun Blues", is by Appalachian artists Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Foster, who recorded it in 1928.[6][11] Ashley said he had learned it from his grandfather, Enoch Ashley. Roy Acuff, an "early-day friend and apprentice" of Ashley's, learned it from him and recorded it as "Rising Sun" on November 3, 1938.[6][11] Several older blues recordings of songs with similar titles are unrelated, for example, "Rising Sun Blues" by Ivy Smith (1927) and "The Risin' Sun" by Texas Alexander (1928). The song was among those collected by folklorist Alan Lomax, who, along with his father, was a curator of the Archive of American Folk Song for the Library of Congress. On an expedition with his wife to eastern Kentucky, Lomax set up his recording equipment in Middlesboro, Kentucky, in the house of the singer and activist Tilman Cadle. In 1937, he recorded a performance by Georgia Turner, the 16-year-old daughter of a local miner. He called it The Rising Sun Blues. Lomax later recorded a different version sung by Bert Martin and a third sung by Daw Henson, both eastern Kentucky singers. In his 1941 songbook Our Singing Country, Lomax credits the lyrics to Turner with reference to Martin's version.

Me, too! I just saw Eric Burdon in the summer, performing with a great band. When he did this one, didn’t want it to end!

[@vainparasite]

Eric Burdon could really wail it out, what a fantastic vocal. one of my favourite 60s tracks.

[@q1221q]

Fell in Love with this song when a teenager. A world classic!

[@SpiritOfRadio2112]

went to hippiefest 2007 in dallas and heard them play this song 40 years later. sounded just as great. legends never die.

[@godstomper]

i always wanted to see the original version of this before they remastered it and polished it up. i feel like im back in the 60's.

[@Fastline1000]

When I was a young boy, and accompagnied my father at his work as lorry driver, he had an old music-cassette and we heard oldies all the day. This sond belongs to them. It remembers me all the time to him.

[@TheOgerman1]

[@dennisfengcanada]

The old, addicting song that I love.... very well done, guys!

[@pipbowl3272]

This timeless classic (along with others) will never die...

[@TimLally54]

One of the many great songs from the 60's, darn glad I was alive to have enjoyed from day one of that great era

[@KathyWaikoloa]

This song is the ultimate 60's song. I've always loved it!

[@josette4231]

Happy Birthday Eric Burdon. When i was 14yrs old, i met him at Ponchatrain Beach in New Orleans,La.Even Elvis sang there.but, i was too young for that.But, my mom took me to see ELvis.Eric told me that he was born on May11 in New Castle on thyme in England. Yea, like i knew where that is when i was 14.He was very nice to me.i can play this on my ovation guitar!!One of my freinds showed me th chords.And Eric knew my sweet and lovely Jimi Hendrix when he wa alive.

[@Theplantbiologyman]

One of my favourite songs of all time, what a way to update a traditional song!

[@Sabbathman1979]

One of the ever-lasting classics from the 20th century.

I may be old but I was privy to the best music ever written and glad I was there for it.

Chas Chandler, long gone. Your music lives on mate....Cheers..

[@valspence47]

It's the song, the song, the passion in the voice. i love it!

[@Cutiepieraypec]

I agree completely... plus his young face and raw, blues voice with the organ is hauntingly good, courses through your veins and right into your soul.

[@spastikman]

man... so epic. The subtle drum buildup culminating to the organ solo at 2:07 . Changed my life.

[@iPipe0]

CLASSIC. perfect intro riff, perfect swing beat, perfect keys, perfect structure, amazing lyrics that make you think. Modern hip-hop artists, beiber, and miley get out your note books and a pen and take some notes....

[@larrywheels762]

captured the soul of the song -great vocals and organ riffs- got that wailing vocals the song needed-i listened to all the other great ones cover this song and i still come back to this one. each to own i guess.

[@sixtiesrecords]

Thanks for the "original sound" and pictures too !! Always chikenskin when I hear Eric's voice !!

[@pinkpanther446]

My oldest brother still has the viynal album of the Animals. I listen to it here and there. It's amazing.

[@VegasPhoneMan]

Talk about a song making it thru the ages, this song has been traced back to the 1600's amazing

The -crisp- crap video quality makes the lyrics and music more eerie.

Imádom ezeket az "állatok"-at. Kb. egyidősek lehetünk, én 64-ben voltam 22 éves. Mindig is szerettem a stílusukat. Hála thurdi-nak, hogy feltette ezt a számukat.

[@dnorfed]

i saw the guys do this in 65' ish, it was the first time anyone had heard it, the place went mad, 3 times they played it, then chuck berry came on and asked 'how do i follow that', well, he did and boy what a night, the best ever

[@cyncybz]

this was "the last dance" at most of our teen dances the couple of years that it was out...never wanted it to end : p

[@danzig159]

This is very quickly turning into one of the best songs I've ever heard and I love a lot of music. Just, the tones he hits with his voice express the exact emotions that I feel. I can't really put it any other way.

I remember that this was at number one in the charts for a long time .Still as good to listen to as then has not dated like some 60s music. Eric Burden had such a strong voice.

[@DarrenGroves]

Why has this song only had this many views, criminal. I may be only 30, but thanks to having a dad that knew a thing or two about music I am lucky enough to know the great music of our fine island, England and also the world. I am already passing this knowledge onto my 4 year old daughter who loves Pink Floyd, Radiohead and the 13th Floor Elevators. These guys however are one of England's finest.

1963. I used to lie awake every night with my transistor radio and earplug in bed waiting for it to come on at 10:30. Later - the iconic party singalong of the 1960s

[@Michael00172]

I remember(who can forget 1964 for music)when this came out(1964?). I was in Lowestoft at the time & it was announced nationally,that ALL pubs with the name 'Rising Sun' would hand out 'FREE BEER' to the customers for one day only.

[@MarinoFrost]

Hey, folks, this the blues! A real blues.. It is way out of the bluesy standards, but it is a smelly blues as it can get… Passion and the pain interact while the sweat is soaking that ball and chain… I just promised to myself that first time when I would perform in New Orleans - I will sing that song! …just a guitar, vocal and the goose bumps… Cheers, Marino Frost~~

[@matty1842]

It was written by Huddie Ledbetter who also wrote Goodnight Irene, Rock Island Line etc etc. Eric Burdon and the Animals made it famous later, and there is a house in New Orleans that epitomizes the song

I think you are my new favorite character person. There is something movie-fantastic about a person driving a big rig and listening to this song all the time. I don't think you're off though... I had Beethoven's moonlight sonata on repeat for 4 days straight in my room once (at the time i didn't leave much)

[@hanoek]

The oldest known existing recording is by Appalachian artists Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster and was made in 1933. Ashley said he had learned it from his grandfather, Enoch Ashley. Alger "Texas" Alexander's "The Risin' Sun," recorded in 1928, is sometimes mentioned as the first recording, but is a completely different song. (wikipedia copy paste)
