1964. Check out We Gotta Get Out of This Place, Don't let Me be Misunderstood. It's My Life and many more.
Yes please!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Indeed, I particularly liked Bring It On Home To Me.
@@MrIaninuk Ever hear Sam Cooke do that one live at the Harlem Square Club?
All title you mentioned is great. However my top favourite from them is "I'm mad again".
Alll of these !!
I love watching young people listen to this video. No autotune just pure talent.
I don't know if you know that they are a British band, lead singer is Eric Burdon. He is still preforming at age 82. They have a large catalog of songs and not a bad one in the bunch.🔥🔥🔥
And amazingly from Newcastle upon Tyne area which have produced some cracking singers/ bands such as Brian Johnson from AC/DC, Sting from the police and the singer from Dire Straits.
Don't let me be misunderstood 🎶
Eric Burdon is one of the most underrated singers in history. Amazing voice!
Been listening to The Animals do this song for 50 years and it still gives me chills.
Welcome to the British Invasion, dude!
Me too ...when my dad came back from Vietnam
The great Eric Burdon, aged 23 when this came out, now aged 82 he can still belt this song out and sounds just as good.
This song is actually an old folklore song, no one has been able to figure out who wrote it.
And it still holds up as one of the great songs of all time.
@@Buy_Me_A_Nightmare Crazy, huh? If the historians are correct, this song might be 300 years old 🤣
The original is about a whore house. Dolly Parton sings that version. The Animals changed it up to gambling. 8
@@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."
It's actually an old black river shack song.
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.
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, …”
Someone got there before I did.
For a young man, bro had the voice of someone who's lived a long life and been through it all and was bearing his old soul through his voice so I can fully understand why you was caught off gaurd by that voice coming from him.
The walking around is to represent the funeral procession in New Orleans. Reason Hilton was smiling at the end was because the techs were rolling Alan to the front for final scene and it struck his funny bone. They didn't have enough money for another take.
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. He became Jimi's manager.
And went on to manage top uk group Slade who had loads of hits including 6 No.1s
Am I the only one to notice that the electric guitars are not plugged in while walking around ...
they didn't have enough money for another take??--this was paid for by the record company -they were lip syncing-done on a sunday morning in a London TV studio-they also did 'don't let me be misunderstood " at this time
Thank you! I'm pretty sure that we're the only two people who have mentioned that in all these reaction videos. Superbly done.
Eric Burdon was 23 when he sang this.
I listened to this on an old record player for the first time in the 70’s, I was amazed years later to see that voice to come out of someone who looked like he was 15 lol
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. I remember hearing this when it came out (I'm 74) but I don't think I appreciated everything that was going on at that age. You know how most teenagers don't analyze much. They just like what's popular. @@markwebster7435
That’s what kills me. All of them (or most) were KIDS.
Eric Burton a legend,part of the British Invasion of the 60’s.
*Burdon
This was a HUGE hit back in the 60's. Anyone that wanted to learn how to play guitar or keyboard, learned this song. It blows my mind that so many reactors are going back to the songs that were hits in the 60's, 70's & 80's. We had such great music to listen to and I look forward to many more reactions from all you guys. You also have to understand that these performances were live so these were one take situations. Loved your comments on this.....keep up the great work.
This is the first song most guitarists learnt back then.
And wannabe guitarists like me! LOL!
@@sundayze Am C D F Am C E
this is the 3rd song I learned (and I was born 13 years after it came out)
If ya what is called a Geordie then we still get taught this also local hero by Mark knoffler
More Than Words by Extreme for me
Yep, this one, smoke on the water, and stairway to Heaven. 😂
In an era where bands actually had their own sound. The animals made sure that they stood out
To think he was all of 23 when he sung this! Was my dad's favourite song 💜
IIRC they only had enough money for one shot at this in the studio, and this was the result. They were naturals, and their success is the proof.
THE definitive version of the song. And, yeah, that voice!
I grew up with this song and to this day there is something so eerie and almost sinister about this amazing performance!
The song was originally about a woman in a brothel. The gambler is her unfaithful lover. She ends the song warning her younger sister not to follow in her footstpes because she is stuck forever working in the brothel. The Animals gender swapped things and now most people forget the original folk version.
yes and no. There are like a dozen of versions in the last 300 years. Some in masculine some in female view. I watched a doc about the song . And thr folklore experts are not sure what is the first view.
In fact the first recorded versions at beginning of XX where varied.
There’s a huge story about how British bands brought the blues back to America, to an audience who hadn’t heard it.
Eric also was instrumental in breaking Jimi Hendrix.
Animals suggestions: Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, We Gotta Out of This Place, Spill The Wine, and many more. If you’d like to watch a video by The Animals that is also a war protest song, check out Sky Pilots. (Vietnam War protest songs is a favorite sub-genre for me.) Eric Burdon (lead vocals) is 82 and was still performing in 2019.
The bass player was Jimmy Hendrix mannager !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Slade.
@@williamwebb8908to right 👍👍
His voice is literally what it should be , a musical instrument
Probably my favorite song ever. The bassist was the first to give Jimi Hendrix a chance
They did this song in one take
The animals were from north east UK and the bassist discovered Jim Hendrix
Can you share more about this? Being a person who listened to this song over and over when I was young - I didn't know the Jimi Hendrix context
1964; sixty years old this year. It was a massive hit from the days of the 1960s British Music Invasion: Beatles, Stones, The Who, The Kinks, and on and on...
Yep. No autotune back then, just talent.
Zager and Evans- In the year 2525 from the late 60's will blow you away.
When you said that this was new to them you were right its said that there were parents watching this being filmed its a one take and everyone cheered when they cracked it. Iconic moment.
Staring into your soul. Everyone I've seen react to this has said that at the end. But Eric had a very rough youth, and it showed in his eyes.
I love it when the voice comes out of nowhere- not just here, but whenever something is genuinely surprising like that.
Wicked song. Fire organ solo. Incredible band. This was shot in one take first take in front of a studio audience. Perfection.
Yup, music is timeless and is the soundtrack of our lives! Thanks for appreciation of this timeless classic
American folk song in the blues genre. The British bands were OBSESSED with the blues
One of my all time favorite songs. First time I heard it I was chilling in a friends basement while totally chilled out from a couple blunts. The song was transcendent at that moment of my life
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".
It’s a timeless & gritty tale. The lead singer Eric Burdon is quite the character & always brings something interesting. Worth checking out more!
English Rock Band from Newcastle upon Tyne. They released House of the Rising Sun 1964, vocals Eric Burdon. Great band.
Just another English band. Think it’s safe to say we have produced the best the world has ever heard and seen. 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴
I honorably disagree.Elvis; Michael Jackson; Ronnie James Dio, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, Metallica, SLAYER, Tina Turner, THE Doors, Prince, Janis Joplin,
The adults here in US were not so happy to see the Brits with the long hair. They came to corrupt our youth but the youth felt liberated...lol...
The first time they did this song, they were opening for Chuck Berry. Eric Burdon is still preforming. He was also with War.
he looks like the kid who always started trouble at school..
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
Favorite song of all time !!! Listen to… Don’t let me be misunderstood 👏👏👏😎👍
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.
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.
Don't let me be misunderstood 🎶 it's a must!!!
They are truly fantastic. And yes, you COMPLETELY don't expect his voice. And the somber delivery of the beautifully written song really draws you in.
What you're hearing is the birth of rock.....PURE TALENT!! NO AUTOTUNE OR ELECTRONICS!!! THE LEAD IS ERIC BURDON....HE'S STILL SING ING TODAY. WHEN HE LEFT THE ANIMALS, HE WENT WITH "WAR" FOR A WHILE....CHECK OUT "SPILL WINE".....A REAL TRIP!
This song has been part of my life since age 4 or 5 when the old parlor guitar that lived at my grandparents' house came out at a family reunion.
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.
OMG!!! Cliff!!! You are gonna LOVE this one!
The keyboard player, Alan Price, had a successful solo career here in the UK. This is one of my favourite songs.
Epic organ solo
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". There were card games etc and her (in)famous ladies of the night. This version is by far the best . Oh Angelina Jordan did a shorted version of this song and it is great. Try the version of Geoff Castellucci.
Man, be safe.
Elmar from Germany
I was shocked about how powerful his voice was the first time I heard it. It's been in a lot of movies. Five Finger Death Punch did a cover, and so did the house band on Sons of Anarchy.
Eric has an amazing voice and had many hits . This song was on the radio constantly on one station or another for over 50 years. We knew the dark side of life ,it wasn’t hidden from us, just human nature. Hanging at a gambling house spending money on whoring ,drinking,fighting will wind you in a bad place . Live your life at your own risk. It’s funny to see young people so shocked at what was just a cool gritty Blues based Rock song. .
Welcome to the Animals rabbit hole. Bluesey rock of the best sort. lots of hits. Eric Burdon has a great set of pipes.
I've always loved that minimalist drummer. High hat work is awesome.
Alan Price on on keyboard had his own group later on.
And became an actor
One of my top 3 favourite songs of all time.
Well it's never to late to jump into the rabbit hole of good music, Cliff.
This is a one shot
I'm 65 years old. This was one of the first songs I learned to play. Taking guitar lessons when I was 9 years old. It is such a hoot watching young people like you and Black Pegasus etc, discovering music that I grew up with 👍💯👍
Okay. So you're my age. Now I know you nor I used the phrase "such a hoot" back then. That's something my grandmother would say. I'm teasing you because I do the same and I hear myself. And I agree - It is a hoot!
The lead singer reminds me of the kid that beat up the school bullies. Awesomely cool lead singer!!
If you like The Animals, you should also check out The Kinks (Waterloo Sunset, Lola, You Really Got Me) and early Moody Blues (Go Now.)
Of course, Animals also have a bunch lf other great tunes.
I figured you must have heard it bc it’s played everywhere and been covered a million times. This is the classic cover we all link this song to though for obvious reasons!
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.
I Grew Up Listening To This Kind of Music, when I was a Kid Growing up In The 90s,. I LOVE Rap and Hip-hop, But I LOVE CLASSIC MUSIC FOREVER..!!!! There ISN'T a Song That Is Classic, I Have Not Heard, Because Of My DAD, and, Mom, They were Hippies, and Peace Love, And, Happiness Was The Moto Growing Up Back Then..!!!!!
Eric Burden is the lead singer "It's my life" is another great song.
This is an old folk song. It’s it is the first song I learned on guitar when I was 12. Many of our folk songs came from the British Isles and this one resembles in some aspects. A 16th century folk song called The Unfortunate Rake. Some versions come from the, viewpoint of a female and some from a male. The House Of The Rising Sun is a bawdy house. Many versions have more verses.
Eric Burdon was singing what he had been living: a working class kid, born with bombs during world war 2 in Newcastle. He is, as you can hear heavily influenced by American Blues music, like many of the sixties UK bands.
Great song when released, and still a great song. Teenage me would be shocked that 70+ me listens to the same music. I enjoy watching watching younger people discover the wonderful music we had then.
When I got into Black Sabbath, I remember my parents saying I'd grow out of it. Or when they thought Rock was a fad and would soon go away.
You did a really good job for going off the cuff with no info on the song or the artist, Cliff!
This is a classic, and a very heavy hitter, agreed. These old, pre1970's videos were often produced/choreographed for the bands, but this one was so simple yet brilliant, the guys walking around to represent how gamblers had to travel around to keep themselves going, one step ahead of the law, one step ahead of the women they tricked, the people they scammed...
Keep it up, and thank you to our awesome Black Pegasus for suggesting you react to this one! Love you both!
One of my favorite songs from when I first heard it...a lifetime ago. Memories ❤
You know whats great about being 68 years old? We got to live through these years listening to these songs on the radio and catching them on Ed Sullivan show.
My favorite by the Animals is “San Francisco Nights” a perfect hippie anthem 💙👵🏼✌🏼
I'm SO HERE to enjoy seeing your reactions to older music!! It also reminds me how lucky I am to still be alive to enjoy ALL music, and witness the younger generations 'discover' what I frequently take for granted. Thank you, Cliff Beats - and everyone who enjoys this channel! ✌️❤️
There’s an episode of My Name is Earl that uses this song and it brings me to tears any time I watch it.
Original artist’s name is lost to time, like so many incredible American songs. In The Pines is another one that hits me in the soul.
Creedence Clearwater Revival I put a spell on you Midnight Special, Heard it through the grapevine, proud Mary, Down on the corner Have you ever seen the light just to name a few. You won't be disappointed. Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Should definitely not miss out on Creedence. Such good music ❤ ...but the 1st lot you mention are all covers, skip those 🤣 Down on the corner is great though. And "As long as I can see the light" is beautiful, makes me cry and miss my dad every single time.
Oh and of course Fortunate Son! I heard they wrote that song in like 20 minutes 😲
CCR...one of the best bands ever
1964 hit-Animals had many hits-their first.-check out Don't Bring Me Down, Sky Pilot and Monterey-also Eric Burdon (lead singer) & War-Spill the Wine
Best band ever from Geordie Land still.
The amazing Alan Price on keyboard... Him and the magnificent Georgie Fame, dayum!
The singer of The Animals was Eric Burdon, who also has a lot of great solo recordings! He also was part and singer of the band WAR ... (also The "Party Boys" and "Ringo and his All Starr Band", pff! ^^+gg)... I don't know why, but he was also very famous in Germany - where I come from - and ... I guess I saw him 37 times live, without even beeing a "fan"..! XD
He's great "shouter" with a big voice! There are plenty of amazing songs he recorded! If I had to make a list, it would be a very, very long list! Dig deep - you won't regret it! Btw.: Eric is still active!
Eric Burdon rocks! One of my favorite songs.
I doubt anybody ever expected that voice to come out of him the first time they heard him sing.
Join the club!
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.
Yeah Eric burden was freaking awesome
Still is!
@@lyndadowns4876 yeah I freaking love him and his voice
Love this song and band, I am old enough that I know it from when it was first released, and can still sing every word.
Omg so pleased youre checking this one out, proper classic. In my long list of faves
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 ❤
Eric Burdon was 23 at the time, yet had the voice of an old soul who'd been through a life full of hard knocks. One of my favourite Animals songs, "When I Was Young" typifies this. He was, and still is, amazing!
Another Example Of Soul Having No Colour Cliff. Great Reaction.
The Animals also did “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”…Lil’ Wayne did a remake/remix called “Misunderstood”. The Animals have a video for it as well in the same setting.
“House of the Rising Sun” was a really old song, probably dating back to English “broadside” ballads. It was originally about a prostitute from a brothel called “The House of the Rising Sun”, it was told from the prostitute’s point of view. In the opening verse she sings “And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh god, I'm a-one”. She sings about her sweetheart being a gambler and a drunk. She tries to warn her little sister away from her lifestyle:”Oh tell my baby sister
Not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans
They call the risin' sun”. At one point it seems to suggest that she tries to leave the life of prostitution behind, but fails: “Well, it's one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain”. The ball and chain isn’t jail, but it’s the life of prostitution that she can’t leave. At the end she says “I'm a-goin' back to New Orleans
My race is almost run
I'm goin' back to end my life
Down in the risin' sun”. That might suggest suicide, or just resignation that she’ll be in that life until she dies. Bob Dylan recorded this version of the song in 1962, the Animals recorded their version in 1964 with changed lyrics.
One of my fave songs of all times!!
Yes i'm a big BP fan. Glad he turned you on to this group.
i love this song
Nothing says ‘cleaned up for TV’ quite like this group 😂 My dad used to sing this I love it 🥰
I've heard this somewhere before too but can't put my finger on it. But the keyboard playing was crazy, and this song/video seams like a timeless classic.
I see BP has u going down the same rabbithole he's going down! Love this so much!!!
So glad I grew up with these guys, how far ahead of their time were they? WOW!!
