The song is about a brothel in New Orleans. "The House Of The Rising Sun" was named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874, when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors.
Thank you for that!
That is one theory. From some of the research I have done, the song goes back to England. It is the story of a guy growing up in a house of prostitution and gambling and thievery.
@@coleparker Sounds like my home in South East London😀
I don't know if this was a place named after the song, but there was a Brothel called The House of the Rising Sun in New Orleans in 1975. I went in and had a drink. Right on Bourbon Street. I assumed the song was about that place.
Actually the source of “Rising Sun” is officially unknown. It is a folk song 1st heard in England. The opening line has Lowestoft, an area in Suffolk England, as the location of a brothel called Rising Sun. By 1905 it was being sung by coal miners in Appalachia US & the location was changed to New Orleans. The lyrics was put on paper in the US in the 1920s. Someone recorded in the early 30s then Roy Acuff recorded it in the late 30s. There were other recordings in the 30s & 40s. Andy Griffith recorded it in the late 50s. Joan Baez & Bob Dylan each recorded it in the early 60s.
The Animals said they first heard it while on tour in England and began singing it during their concerts. Due to the reaction of the crowd when they sang it they chose to make a recording of it.
The lyrics varied depending on the viewpoint-a female prostitute warning customers or a former male customer warning future customers.
For what it's worth, I won a Karaoke competition in Kyrgystan singing this song.
And the Country has never been the same👍👍
Eric Burdon's intensity along with that soaring voice, coupled with Alan Price's keyboards makes this an ALL Time Classic. The video is crazy good too.
Thank you Jimmy! We agree, it’s a classic
The bass player was Jimmy Hendrix manager
@@generationgapreacts He is still singing @ 80 years old😀
@@jamesbondbond8388 5 tears ago,I met one of his daughters in my London park.
Yes it is amazing how this was filmed with 1980's style MTV quality but way back in the mid 60's
U Said It, Sister: Baby-Faced Eric Burden's "Powerful Voice" is "Haunting;" this song haunts the Hell-o out of me😵💫😭💔‼️
This song is a rock classic. The Animal were one of The British Invasion groups that came to America in 1964. While they had a string of several hits, House Of The Rising Sun is their most famous song. Eric Burdon was their lead singer. Later, he would leave the Animals to form a new group called War during the early 70s.
Alan Price later formed his own group/band, with hits such as "Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear"; and Chas Chandler, the bass player, went on to produce several other pop groups.
@@grahamtravers4522 Chas Chandler discovered and managed Jimmy Hendrix.
And the song was written for a woman to sing.
@@neddyladdy Yes, and had diddly squat to do with being created in England as some other posters with Anglophile pride have said.
The Animals were an unknown group when they decided to scrape up their money and cut this record in 1964 (recorded in one take because that's all the money they could afford to spend), from an old American folk song. They were the first group to commercially record the song. It was not expected to go any where, but instead, hit number one in England, the United States, and Canada and launched their careers.
About a year ago my daughter had this cranked on her playlist and said how much she loves it. I said yeh it’s amazing it came out in ‘64 two years after I was born. She had no idea. She thought it was fairly recent.
Honestly this song could come out today and I would believe it! Such a great one. Glad newer generations love it too
It’s timeless
@@generationgapreacts there is a newer version of this by Five Finger Death Punch. Sorry I haven’t finished watching the video yet as I’m commenting. So, you may have mentioned it. Their version gives me Mad Max vibe.
Yep Jill, the good songs stand the test of time, and will "see us out"... er It'll see my out", did'nt mean to "assume" your age, sorry.
I can't tell you how many times grad students in our lab would play a "new'" song for me - because I'd made my living as a bassist for several years - and I'd have to tell them it was a cover.
I’ve watched a ton of “house of the rising son” reaction videos(don’t judge me). This is the best one. Y’all get it.
when you consider that the bands at that time only had their voices, their instruments and amplifiers and all the equipment fit in a VW bus ... and their music still triggers gigantic feelings in the listener more than 50 years later ... ich liebe "HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN" noch immer
The big guy at the back playing bass guitar is Chas Chandler. He brought Jimi Hendrix to the UK in 1966, became his manager and launched his all conquering career.
Its nice to see younger generations checking these great songs out !
The one and only Eric Burdon, what a voice. On keyboards, the great Alan Price.
i just saw this reaction, and it was heartwarming to see a mom sharing great music with her daughter. it was also nice to see someone who remembers what music was like back then. kids today have no idea what music is. im a metal head from back when it began. but before then we listen to songs like this.
I first heard this when I was 14 in 1964, and the following day in the school playground we were all raving about it. And in those days, records were only just over two minutes long. This one went on so loooong…
ANIMALS, "HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN". I WAS 7 YEARS OLD IN 1964. This was my first favorite rock song. The two of you are both right. The Soulful voice of Eric Burden, and the great keyboard melodie through out is always keeping me young at heart, lol. Another favorite of their's "WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE". Great reaction ✌🎶
Their walking around is symbolic of a New Orleans funeral march.
Ohhh, wow thanks for that!
Never bleeding thought of that, 77. Canny. I'll ask Eric when i see him if that's the intention.
I have this fabulous bands cd and I play it loud in my vehicle. I love love love it. I was a young teen in 64 so we heard this band often, he is AWESOME, Sang with WAR & still singing to this day I heard. And the funny thing is they are all British bit when he talks he has that beautiful British accent. It is awesome how he sings differently. And he has beautiful green eyes, I had a crush on him then and millions of gals did too hahaha!
Beautifully said Hilda! I loved your memory of this band. 😊
Eric Burdon has such a great voice. This is one of the greatest songs ever in my opinion. They're in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and sure deserve it. Many very good songs, Sky Pilot may be my favorite. You need to check out Spill the Wine in 70 when Eric was in War. Great psychedelic happenin song
When were they inducted in to the hall of fame
@@waltmcdonald3096 Walter it was 1994
This song never gets old
i looke like eric burdon
I was a teenage boy when it first came out. My whole generation grew up on that song. And it was in a country where this kind of music was not easy to come by and was frowned upon by the authorities.
It's such an incredible song. Crazy to think that it was deemed "bad" by authorities!
What i love about this song is when people see the video and they recognise the song and they start singing it. this is how powerful the song is due to it recognisable sound and lyrics
Live on stage these guys were ANIMALS! Their live performances were wild and terrific. They just let it all pour out! Such a great blues/R&B band!!! Did a lot of songs by early black artists. Try a few more by them, We gotta' get out of this place, The girl can't help it, Don't let me be misunderstood.
Love to listen to those songs! Thank you
@@generationgapreacts It is interesting to have a look at The Animals singing this live on Ed Sullivan...it is on CZcams. It gives a little flavour of what they were like live.
Him having a haunting singing voice I think is because he's a Taurus man and Taurus is known to have attractive voices, a lot of Taurus people are amazing singers. 😅
Don't know if you lady's are aware but the big guy playing guitar chaz chandler brought a young man from New York back to England and hooked him up with and band who became the Jimi Hendrix experience. He then went on to manage Jimi. We might not have known Jimi without Chaz.
Eric was seriously all that every singer would love to emulate🤘❤️
Brilliant keyboard player ALAN PRICE. Went on to form the Alan Price Set.
It feels amazing to see people. young people getting taken aback from the music we grew up with. Imagine this song. No computers. no syntesisers. no 10o tracks .. Just sang up and wown. in 145 minutes. Nailed at the first attempt..Yhe could only affor to resnt a studio for 30 minutes.
I dare to say.. This will Never be rerplaced by anoither world hit. No one can replicate or even make this lyrics justice. It is Done. Omce and for all.. the original 193o song House of the rising sun blues have hit its rightful home and i am happy to be a youngster when it did happen.. From my teenage years to my grave, this song will always follow me.
Amen
released in 1964. They had 10 top 20 hits in the 60's and were part of the initial groups in the British Invasion. Their influences were from American R&B and early rock, with a little folk-rock in a few of their songs. One of the first groups whom heavily used the keyboard in the melodies. A few other top 10 hits include: " We gotta get out of this place, Its my Life, and Don't let me be misunderstood". After the group disbanded, Eric Burdon formed the group known as "Eric Burdon and war, then it was just known as War.
I will definitely be listening to more The Animals songs!
Almost all rock bands i
n the 60s wore dress suits and ties. I grew up in that era. The best era for rock music. Eric Burton was one of the iconic voices of the 60s! The Animals were part of the British invasion of rock bands and singers of the 1960s.
Alan Price was playing a vox continental keyboard. He went on to a successful solo career. I'm surprised at your surprised reaction to their outfits. This was the mid sixties, Beatles era who were famous for their stage suits. I t was commom in the uk at the time.
And not typical of The Animals.
I think this performance was on the Ed Sullivan show, he started by being the first in the U.S. to feature The Beatles & then the other British Invasion bands. Alan Price (Keyboard Player) went on to do his own songs. A popular upbeat song by him is the 1968 (Don`t Stop The Carnival). :)
😉 So great song that even my piano cover sounds good!! 🎹
Hilton Valentine Was The Lead Guitarist In The Animals!
It's a brothel.
The Animals are an interesting band. Mostly from Newcastle in England. Eric burden is the singer, Alan Price on the keyboards. The tall guy at the back on guitar is Chas Chandler. Chas managed Jimi Hendrix and brought him to the UK. He also played in Hendrix's band.
I was assumed it was a drug den of sorts.
Thank you for the wonderful information on the group!
@@jillwanlin9558 Yep, that's what i thought , "knocking shop" as well.
@@jillwanlin9558 Like the ladies mentioned, it is mysterious what "The House" could be. I always imagined it to be a brothel. Or it could just easily have been a gambling house, or an opium den. Maybe all three in one. Who knows?
The only (official) bass-players with Jimi Hendrix were Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix Experience) and Billy Cox (Band of Gypsys). As far as I know Chas Chandler never played in Jimi's band(s). He may have jammed with the guys in the studio, or in clubs but there were many musicians who did that...
Voice keyboard and mix of all is mesmerizing for Last 50 60 years military 🪖 guys dug this forever USN USMC
The bass player, Chas Chandler, left the group because he wanted to do music management and promotion.
His first client he found in NYC and took him to London to introduce him to the British rock community.
The client? Jimi Hendrix! 🎸
Both Eric Burdon (vocals) and Alan Price (keyboards) went on over to pretty long and prominent separate careers on the rock stage. I went to see Burdon in concert as late as in 2000s, and I think his latest solo record came in 2013.
Wow good for him! I had no idea
cast iron voice perfect
The tall guy playing the bass guitar is Chas Chandler, who later became the manager for Jimi Hendrix.
Love the flicker of a smile at the end and the band laughing knowing Eric just crushed this performance. We Gotta Get Out of This Place is a nice Animals follow up.
How oh how does that voice come out of that face…❤love him
House of the Rising Sun is my absolute favorite!!! Please do one on Tuesday’s Gone-Lynrd Skynrd
Haunting describes it all
Great song and great reaction.
The oldest known recording of this song was 89 years ago this month ! It was recorded by Appalachian artists CLARENCE "TOM" ASHLEY AND GWEN FOSTER .
The Animals - House of the Rising Sun. The single had worldwide sales of nearly 5 milllion and
became a Number One hit in both Uk and Us in 1964. The Animals were inducted in to the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. For me is House of the Rising Sun. One of the best songs from the 60´s.
Another great song. My Top 2 favorite song of the Animals -Bring it on home to me. (1964)
Thanks! For a great reaction song! 💯🙂
Such an amazing song! I will have to check out their other music. Thanks Mats!
You should check out Eric Burdon and War - "Spill the Wine" (1970 ). Just six years later - but after the psychedelic invasion. It really did change everything.
Oh wow I definitely will!
Yes yes yes yes “spill the Wine “
excellent suggestion
I was very young, like 4th grade, when I first remember learning this this song. I think I saw Eric Burdon and the Animals first on Ed Sullivan. The vocals are so powerful, but I was drawn to that organ. I wanted to be the one playing that part. The song was very popular, and done by lots of local bands. Remember "battles of the bands?" Wow, I'm going back a long way, but when I was in elementary school, after the skating rink closed on Friday nights, they brought in local bands. I guess it seemed like a safe place for pre-teens to hear live music. This song was a mainstay.
You're right, I hear a lot of covers of this song. Nothing can come close to The Animals version. "Organ" is the word I was looking for throughout the video. That's what makes this song so unique!
Alan price ( keyboards here ) joined up with Georgia Fame and had a hit with randy Newman’s Simon Smith and his dancing bear. Chas Chandler , the animals base player became Jimmy Hendrix manager. Talanted guys,
Loved all their songs.
An absolute favorite is Sky Pilot.
Came out during the Vietnam War Era but applies to all time periods.
Always brings tears to my eyes.
I never realized they sang that song! I loved that one. Thanks!!!!!
Love your reactions. I would like to request a reaction to Chris Rea doing Candles.
Eric Burton was 23 when he made this.
1966 I went to a concert at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Eric Burton and the Animals at the time and the warm up band that I've heard no one react to all the time I've been listening to reactions. The Associations with their hits: Cherrish, Never My Love, Along Came Mary, Wendy for a start. Mom would know the group.
That was the fashion at that point in the 60s in England.
Hell of a voice for a 23 year old. Alan Price on keyboard.
This was a typical look for British bands in the 60's. The bow was also typical. Early Beatles wore similar styles of clothing.
You probably already know this but the big guy on bass (Chas Chandler) was the man who 'discovered' Jimi Hendrix
The keaboardist is Alan Price.
Eric Burdon is 81 now. He looks about 12 in this video.
Got to love the music from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's.
If you watch this video again, take note of a couple of subtle details.
1. The drummer is chewing gum.
2. The keys of the organ are reversed colors.
And my personal favorite...
3. The guitarist is probably grinning because they moved the organist clear across the room away from the drummer.
He's cute and he's got a deep voice 😍 That part of the video at 6:33 when he's looking at you with his intense eyes is sooo sexy 🤭 Honestly, If I was born in the 60s I would totally have a crush on this singer and be one of his screaming fan girls lol 😂
Just look like talented working kids..showing off & stepping up, when give the opportunity..
British boys ❤️
i think the bassist name is chas chandler and was the dude who basiclly gave jimmi hendrix his big break
They did it in one take❤
The way the band walks through the performance as if they were part of a funeral procession adds to the haunting nature of the song. Absolute classic.
Eric Burton vocal
Chas Chandler bass.alan price keyboard.hilton Valentine guitar.john steel drums. Chas And Hilton are gone .Eric still performs.
Burdon was shoved into that outfit, everyone was told to shave, and then ... perform! Heh.
I saw Eric Burton & WAR at Kelkar Junction ,Colorado Springs in 1970 , Spill The Wine was awesome ..
Not really that unusual a look for any band in 1964. Worth mentioning that this is perhaps the only song that knocked the Beatles off the #1 perch at the time. I have listened to this hundreds of times and it still chills me. Gotta go along with Jillwanlin below that my daughter surprised and touched my heart one day when I scanned past this song and she leaped up and demanded I turn it back because she "just adores" this song. Made my whole year!
Legends
That's a Vox Continental organ. Made to sound like the Hammond organ that everybody loved, but way lighter to tote around. Great song.
One of my favorites for 58 years........still have it in my collection also 'Animalism"
An old, old blues song, about a woman who works in a brothel, traditionally sung by male singers and popular artists inspired by the old bluesmen.
The song is of course much older than this recording. It’s a traditional song first collected in Appalachia in the 1930s, but has origins and versions going back hundreds of years in England. That’s part of the power of this song and others like it.
While Eric Burden and the Animals are dressed up by their PR in matching suits, like many other bands of the early 60s, the grit of their upbringing in Northern England’s industrial region comes through in their performance. Great song and great performance.
You say you like folk-rock, so I wonder if you’re familiar with bands like Fairport Convention or Pentangle? Fairport are the original folk-rock band, blending traditional English songs with electric instruments, and their album Liege and Lief was groundbreaking. Pentangle, meanwhile, had a more jazzy feel. Would love to see your reaction to either of them.
I haven’t heard of either of those groups! I love hearing new music. I will definitely check them out
The music history part is quite interesting. There are many songs that have been reused and re-recorded over the ages, with some lyric changes. For example, "Whiskey in the Jar" is an old Scottish folk song from the 17th Century. When I first heard it in the 1980s it was sung by the South African easy listening singer Roger Whittaker, and then it was redone by Metallica in 1999. Also, "Lover's Concerto," lyrics written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, and sung by The Toys in 1965, is based on the 18th Century composition "Minuet in G Major" by Christian Petzold (via J.S. Bach).
Love to see one generation sharing the music from one generation to another.
You have to remember that back in the 60's and 70's entertainers dressed for success, they didn't dress like the slobs do today. I'm nearing 60yrs old soon and I can truly say that music, tv and movies were a lot more entertaining in the 60's and 70's and some in the 80's.
Entertainment today is the pits.
The ball and chain is a metaphor for his addiction to drinking, gambling and, some say, the ladies upstairs.
This is THE version of the classic song
The video is from a 1965 movie called Pop Gear (Go-Go Mania in the US) and they are lypsynching to the 1964 recording. So, Eric voice is 23 and he's 24 in the video.
Hi Ladies, House Of The Rising Sun was released in 1964, The Animals formed in Newcastle, England, The lead singer is Eric Burdon, he's now 81 years old and still performing today in 2022!! 😀 😀
Like how Alan Price just looks at you as the song winds down at the end......song will never die will stand test of time
He reminds me of Alfred E. Newman ( cover of Mad magazine)😂 amazing vocalist
Check out Eric Burden singing with the group War...like "Spill The Wine".
Yes, the House is /was a Bordello in New Orleans. “It’s a house of Sin & Misery”. Mom, if you haven’t done it yet, Please introduce her to Janis Joplin “Summertime”, Ball & Chain”, “a A Little Piece of My Heart”, also show her the “Best” voices of the ‘70’s, “Karen Carpenter”, Linda Ronstadt”, “Pat Benatar”, “Heart” ( The Wilson Sisters), than introduce her to “The Doobie Brothers” Listen to the Music, What a Fool Believes, Long Train Running….. SanJoséBob
There is no dispute. The House of the Rising Son was a house of ill repute in New Orleans. It was demolished in 1977.
Perfect reactions ladies , great comments/ spot on .👍❤️Have this song as my ring tone, and when my phone 📱 rings , I let the song play out .👍😂
I understand why you choose not to answer your phone! 😆
@@generationgapreacts
Love ❤️ you both , so right regarding the ringtone . I still get chills watching and listening to this video ,so iconic and amazing. They went into the studio and did this song in one take ( incredible) they had to , because they didn’t have a lot of money and they just killed it. Eric Burdon ( lead singer stills performs . Alan price on the keyboard is legendary, plus Chas Chandler on bass who discovered Jimmy Hendrix & the opening rift by
Hilton Valentine and John Steele on Drums. Rip to Valentine & Chas.❤️🙏😢
You might like their version of "Don't let me be misunderstood "...
Yes, I was about to suggest that myself.
My dad is a country music fan and I was so surprised that he also knew this song and loved it! ❤
The original song was a folk country song, it dates to the 1920s or earlier
Nice reaction this is a killer song, remember no auto tune. Just a little advice get some headphones🤣
I am sooo glad to have discovered your channel. You ladies always touch on the finer points of a song. I am forever a fan of yours. Please keep up the good work
😘
Thanks from Germany for "Hause of the rising sun" and the music by Erich Burdon & the Animals! This war the start of the Beat-era 1964 and a wonderful time with love & peace. 😌
The house is a prison, it’s a very, very old song. When he says “to wear that ball and chain” that is what the would put on prisoners.
Eric Burdens vocal work is top tier
Much comparison of The Animals House of the rising sun & The Eagles " Hotel 🏨 California. You can check in and never leave. The organist had that black gospel riffs & the 1900 -2000 thousand years of the world 's greatest music on earth 🌎
Alan Price was one of the best keyboard players of his time.
Up until the end of the 1960 singers and groups all "dressed" up for their performance. Sonny and Cher were the first act where they began to transition to "costumes", and then Paul Revere and the Raiders. From dress up to wearing dirty T shirts and torn jeans and in a matter of a few years.
All these years and I never saw this video! You gals are fantastic! Loving your reactions! Some incredible music from the greatest entertainers in the business! Thank you! Keep ‘em commin’ 🥰.
Thank you Bethany!!
The boys from Newcastle! Simple but quality video production holds your attention as while taking in the song.
Another classic is "We've Gotta Get Out of This Place;" had a tough job and that song by The Animals came on the Oldies station on the drive home many days of the week.
No mystery here at all. It's a kid who grew up in an environment where his mom was a prostitute in a bordello called "House of the Rising Sun", his dad was a gambler and a drunk. No idea what crimes he eventually committed but he's being shipped back to New Orleans to "Wear That Ball & Chain" (prison). In 1964 the English bands that had been "invading" the U.S. and flipping rock as we knew it then (I was 18) on it's collective head since December of 1963, had all been heavily influenced by black blues artists from the deep south in America. Hence, it resulted in many songs being a mix of rock and blues, as this song definitely was. Eric Burdon is a rock icon and even though the Animals did not last very many years their list of classics is amazing. Burdon left the group and joined with a group of black artists to form another great band "War".
