Terrific song. They put their own take on this blues song and it was an instant classic. Eric had a great blues voice.

Oh my god I hate this song. I have no idea what anyone enjoys in it. Repeated listenings just reinforce it. Hate. The worst.

I'll see your Sivert cover and raise you Tracy Chapman. One of the most interesting covers I've heard of this song.

I was 11 in 1964. Roy Rogers and Father Knows best on the TV. Square dances in the school gymnasium. The Ed Sullivan show had all kinds of silliness, but then one Friday evening, this ...

... washed over me like a hot shower after a lifetime in the wilderness.
They look as mundane as did everything else in 1964 suburbia. The setting is simple. It's black'n white. The song is simple yet it bursts with passion and majesty.
Pick most any song from '64. It's a bunch'o folks singing a song.

The song is kind of a 7 or an 8, but its classic stature, and the chills I still get from hearing this timeless tune, makes it a 12. The keyboards player, Alan Price, you may know, mastered one of moviedom's great soundtracks, O Lucky Man. Play some of that one, Bill, it would follow on quite nicely with this or another Animal track.

I stand corrected. Here's an atypical web exerpt: "Price's organ playing did as much for the Vox Continental Organ as it did for Price. The "Connie" was introduced in 1962 and rapidly became a favorite among touring musicians. It approached the sound of a superior Hammond or Wurlitzer, but it was half the size. The 1960s musicians dedicated to their Vox Continental included Ray Manzarek of The Doors, Mike Smith of The Dave Clark Five, Paul Revere of Paul Revere and the Raiders, and Doug Ingle of Iron Butterfly. This is a formidable pedigree, but it was Price's organ work in "House of the Rising Sun" that sent every would-be keyboard player to the Vox showroom." The link is: http://www.shmoop.com/animals-house-rising-sun/music.html
And I'll let the "know your organs" go unmolested...  |

Right now, there's a big political fight going on in the UK, where the coalition government (ConDems) are trying to force through a big shakeup of our national health service, and a UK rapper called MC NxtGen has recorded a really good rap based around a loop of 'house of rising sun' that criticizes these proposals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl1jPqqTdNo&feature=player_embeddedHe's done his research too. Basically, the outcome would be getting in big US healthcare companies to run doctors surgeries. Most of us in UK regard this as bad news, because it would take out 80 billion pounds of our taxpayer money into the private hands of healthcare companies that will deliver minimum service at maximum cost Politics aside, this is a great rap, and might even score well on RP Interested?
