[MrFernandoPJR]

one of the greatest organ solos of all time

[MrRayden120]

my favorite song ever and so true

[KyleMeyer758]

If i was a boxer i would come out to this shit!

[Butteroux]

They should've shown the keyboards

[mangledinal]

Elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.

This is what true rock & roll is about. They were all so young--barely whiskered and looking like school boys. I was 15 when this song came out. I remember being at a CA beach listening to this song. It was eerie and special.

[ktm016]

@mangledinal really cool to hear. Its ridculous they didnt achieve the award, beyond ridculous.

[videoshare123]

this is a pretty complex music video

[southernSCkid]

3 poor poor souls didnt live in the house of the rising sun

[makeitrain47]

[makeitrain47]

[Museria1]

[fuckyertube]

[TheExploitedable]

This song is the first pop song about rock bottom.

[MrFernandoPJR]

that organ solo is sick

[yurmomgos2coledge]

[ninjaboyforlife]

[seker7]

[trovabossa]

The singer looks like he doesn't want to be there. The lip-syncing is horrible.

[ConeTemp]

@trovabossa He was probably tripping balls on LSD I give him props...

[aligned576]

TIMELESS!!! THIS SONG IS SO DEEP!! 47 YEARS AND STILL SOUNDS AS IF IT WERE MADE YESTERDAY. LITTLE FACT BOUT THIS SONG: THE ANIMALS RECORDED THIS IN ONE(1) TAKE AND THE STUDIO TIME COST WAS $50. JUST AMAZING!! COMPLETE PERFECTION.

[xConvictoinx]

Eric Burden's voice is epic

[TheLoveNotWar1000]

Damn, classic! ^,^ <3

[grimbattalion]

Just saw this German chic do a cover of this & I thought I recognized it_so here I am.

[bigmeatyboy1]

awesome voice



[MrLedzeppelin2]

the Animals, House of the rising sun is a master piece. great song.

[cherilyn999]

I saw him sing this at an outdoor concert in the 90's, he still is a fantastic singer, he hits the high and low notes perfectly!

Love ya, Eric..Keep on Rocing!!

[mikkykay]

They look so COOL!

[RAY1JUNIOR]

i like this song

[tapout477]

is this your pen.....

[SuperBobo888]

The singer reminds me of Joseph Gordon-Levitt...........lol. I know. I'm a loser.

[Drew00621]

im so sick of reading "im 14 and i like this song and the rest of my friends like bieber" no one gives a shit about your age you little spoiled pricks. Youre not cool because you like a certian kind of music. Get over yourselves. A generation of narcisistic kids who crave attention and are obsessed with themselves.

[stubbsthezombie100]

@Drew00621 you are annoying you because your probably just an asshole that has no freinds and thinks that everybody is the same just because of their age so fuck off jackass

[Drew00621]

@stubbsthezombie100 and you're probably 10 years od because you cant spell "friends:...dont they teach you little shits "I" before "E" except after "C". I envy you because your young, dumb, and ignorant..you think the world owes you.

[Drew00621]

@stubbsthezombie100 you know what...I aploigize if my comments offended you. But honestly all 14 years olds are punks..including myself when I was that age. I was a little prick and so were all my friends looking back on it. Its not their fault though..when your young, you think you know everything but you dont...hell Im not that old and Ill probably be saying the same thing about people my age 15 years from now.

[stubbsthezombie100]

@Drew00621 damn man that was very mature im sorry for being a pain.

[moviewatcher304]

Such a simple song to play yet, so bad ass.

[BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz]

If you hear this song and Joe Pesci is in the room, YOU'RE FUCKED!

[daKidwitdagoldcut]

@BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz

lol i get what your tryin to say, but if you referring to casino, pescis character doesnt wack any1 when this songs goin on....its the older wiseguy hitman sent by remo and outfit....just sayin.

[Kawp123]

[TheTempertrap21]

[SpunkBurnsTreesDaily]

[tbakersapphire]

[ThaMadJoker]

[vthokie900]

[DAMOT81]

This guy have soul!!!!!!!

[LiveForFunny]

Wait, what do "glee" or "American Idol" have to do with this AT ALL?! I'm seriously confused! The only reason I'm here is because I love The Animals... I never even knew that either of those shows covered this song...

[Theides315]

alot of music has been on american idol or glee im just glad i was exposed to the classics at a young age because if u think whats out there today is music i beg to differ this my friend is music

[findingneverland17]

SUPERNATURAL YEEEE

[Dolorousness]

this is really is a tour de force for E. Bourdon and the rest of them--with special mention the organist

[TazDays]

I came here because of Haley Reinhart. & she did amazing on this song. & now I'm going through their music. & I'm buying this on iTunes.

[TheTuyguyy]

what the hell? you say this was on american idol. i don't know if this is good or bad

[dallascowboy80]

Whats this about?

[proctdav]

AMEN TO THAT!!!

[kamipome]

does it really matter if we came here because AA or Glee? It is good music period! I enjoyed it when Haley sang it and I'm enjoying it right now! Love the band! ;)

[BrownanDownable]

I came here, because I've been listening to the Animals and War all day.

[rphinks]

WTF this was on idol? I would have stopped watching if I was watching already.

[pml795]

i came here from red dead redemtion a side mission where jack rides home (his old home)from hell.(came back from killing the man who was his greatest enemy mr loringo.)

[RockerJack15]

@pml795 wait i dont remember that one. was it the last one where he kills the guy who killed his dad or are u talking about when john kills dutch

[gooberface14]

I came here from watching the coolest movie ever...CASINO. American Idol can suck it twice

[KentuckyLake1]

This song has a great sound, and a ton of Skill.

I am sitting here on Kentucky Lake enjoying this great song.

[cosmotiggy]

LIP SYNC

[annshshs]

Thumbs up for you're tired of thumbs up comments.

[cosmotiggy]

@annshshs If I support you, I'm just further endorsing thumbs-up comments...

[gracelovesyou22]

well actually if you didnt need glee or american idol to come here then how did you know they sang it on those showa?

[TheatureGirl]

@gracelovesyou22 they probably knew the song BEFORE the show but they saw it, but they didn't come here to see the original because of American Idol or Glee :3

[gracelovesyou22]

@TheatureGirl ok

[winstonsims1234]

2 people are alan jackson fans

[jacktherussiann]

Ah. Never mind. Looks like 1964.

[cofferson]

@jacktherussiann its called wikipedia.

[jacktherussiann]

@cofferson thanks man, you helped. 

[jacktherussiann]

When was this song made?

[XXwatXXup]

I was with my cousin and i showed him The Animals and he said they looked like a crappy replication of The Beatles I said your stupid......... The Beatles are The Beatles and The Animals are The Animals respect them as such!!!!

[majorocelot89]

Thumbs up if you wan't the fucking thumbs up to fucking stop. :D

[pillowman552]

I love his voice ahh the classics are sweet to the soul, who cares where you heart or who heart it first, as longas this song is getting recognition and getting spread more and more .

[TheGamerKing102]

ah. they look the same, like early beatles.

[Isis905]

I've always loved this song.  I love the organ in it!

[hihater67]

The "thumbs up" if this... is really redundant just stop..

[jwadgb]

People seriously need to stop with the thumbs up bs

[democratjoe]

@jwadgb I thought about thumb-upping you just to be ironic

[rt1broz]

god damn this is good.

[jacktherussiann]

Creepy vid

[73firebirddriver]

thumbs up if he screams those notes with little effort

[mcbailster118]

thumbs up if u dont care how people found this song, but liked it enough to find it

[MagicWaterx]

Im 13 and I enjoy different kinds of music, Songs right now and old time classics like this and also mozart and Beethoven . Yeah people older than me, Kids can appreciate songs from different range and dont accuse of almost everykid to listen to those songs.

[esideeuknome]

music is beautiful. talent is beautiful. Soul is beautiful. By remembering that, we can realize that the animals are beautiful. and that haley is beautiful. A song is a song and is an art that can be admired through covers and tributes. Whatever means that we discover a song is insignificant. Its just the fact that we admire it for what it is. and on that note i will try to learn this song because i love it!

[bondmaxbondrock]

god music has gone downhill, people used to have great bands like the who, grateful dead, zeppelin

now all we have is fags like beiber and Rebecca black

[jacktherussiann]

@bondmaxbondrock Nobody likes Bieber, and NOBODY likes Rebecca Black.

[Edawg15]

@bondmaxbondrock it's always the same though. back then they had the equivalent found in The Partridge Family and The Monkees (TV bands). Nowadays we have bands like Radiohead and Arcade Fire to balance it out.

[TheRedHumorTV]

love the tone of the keyboard

[TheRedHumorTV]

these guys rock i dont know why everyone never talks about them

[mluv80smusic]

My great grandfather used to play this song on his guitar.

[smokealoe]

thought this guy was black idk y

[ebonumba12]

Well at least American Idol and Glee is introducing today's youth to good music like this. Chill people.

[tdburrows007]

Fuck American Idol !

[attjiujitsu]

if u did ur a fag or a bitch ; this song is a classic and it dont need american idol to stay relevant



[attjiujitsu]

is u did ur a fag or a bitch

[Gleepus87]

Who cares where you heard it? What matters is you heard it. Now, for the love of all that is holy, shut up and enjoy a good song.

[Dagerblox]

My dad started playing this about 2 years ago, I was AMAZED! Thats why i started guitar. 7 months later I Mastered the song and a couple others of the animals.The girl I had a crush on since the 3rd grade fell In love with me and we've together since. I played this song at the prom my senior year, everyone LOVED it! Now I play songs like this at bars, clubs, all sorts of things. So You could say this song quite literally changed my life. :)

[crazyforspongebob123]

thumbs up if your watching this in 2011 :)

[Jayeck1]

Ill give credit where credit is do, that girl from American Idol sang this song really well, however NOTHING beats the original. Also instead of getting all pissed because shows like American idol are leading people to good music, we should be happy that these shows are spreading such great music to kids and adults of all ages! Good music should be appreciated by everyone! cheers!

[purpleshadow48]

@Jayeck1 amen!

[animalsjt5]

Hailey KILLED this song. Better than the origional!!

[losdog13]

@animalsjt5 I wouldn't go that far.

[animalsjt5]

@losdog13 def did!!

[cwalk4life3]

thumbs up if you don't care how everyone finds their music. Be glad that they appreciate good music, regardless of whether they love bob dylan or watch american idol...or both

[AutumnAlmonds]

@cwalk4life3 I agree with you completly. I'm tired of people acting snobbish because they know about a greater selection of music than most others. So what if the 1st time I heard the song was on American Idol. The artist didn't specifically write the song for you anyway.

[MollyTrancy6236]

It's sickening to know that people only find music from lame ass shows like American Idol and Glee. Does anyone get music from finding it on their own like on Pandora, the radio, or just surfing youtube looking for new music?

[BackInOrbit]

i am proud to say the first time i heard this song was at the hard rock cafe :)

[battlekid90]

thumbs up if you knew this song before American idol made it re-popular

[poopinashell123]

Who cared how you got here...you know a good song when you hear it.

[BigBossInc]

Thumbs up if you don't need to watch Glee or American Idol to know what good music is.

[100pixieboy]

@BigBossInc feels good (:

[fallbrookg]

@BigBossInc thumbs up if you know what good music is and watch American Idol at the same time

[cubsrule4ever]

@BigBossInc you stupid ass person. shows like those are for people to listen to different kinds of music and to see whats out there and not to listen to the same old same old things all the time.

[BigBossInc]

@cubsrule4ever I'm stupid? You're too stupid to realize that all modern music is the same generic crap mass produced by record labels marketed to the hoards of sheep such as yourself. Fuck you, and your shitty Katy Perry.

[GKid51892]

@BigBossInc im with you there friend...

[losdog13]

@BigBossInc Hey at least the girl did a classic.

[edwardgracy]

@losdog13 Thank you, I love me some oldies and am a hardcore fan, but some of the people commenting on here seem like they see the glass half-empty. At least there are people, such as yourself, out in YT land who can show some optimism and appreciation for someone else who paid homage to a great tune. Keep on Rockn' in the free world.

[IcyHot311]

@BigBossInc (: you're correct. too bad my generation can't be taught great music without silly shows. but at least they get it from somewhere!!(: haha

[mdooms76]

Haley NAILED this song on A.I. so I had to come find the original to see what she did differently. She did so awesome...one of the best performances on A.I. of all times!!! This group is talented also but never heard of them before now.

[tigerlilly77]

Haley can't hold a candle to Jerry Lawson and Talk of the Towns version of "House of the Rising Sun" youtube / watch?v=NrCvGd3pl-k and I think a major reason this song has recently come to mind for so many people has been because of RockBand 3

[losdog13]

@tigerlilly77 really? how'd you figure that one out genius?

[maginick24]

haha that guy doesn't look like he could have that amazing of a voice!

[tigerlilly77]

@maginick24 -that was one of the most wonderful things about music/singers in the beginning of the modern media age... you didn't have to be hot to be a great singer/musician

[maginick24]

@tigerlilly77 i know its awesome!

[911savetheanimals]

@tigerlilly77 Eric Burdon (the singer) was hot in this video ;)...but Hes old and fat now :(

[Chase33]

thumbs up if you didnt come here because American Idol but because you enjoy the classics.

[ILLPOULTRYPRODUCTION]

@Chase33 this was in american idol? lol



[aangeli53132]

Thumbs up if you came here because of Vietnam

[richig761]

HOW COULD YOU DISLIKE THIS!?

[socalkgee1027]

@TheBaseballfrek im not glad at all its more popular in a bad way its released to a very commercial audience. just look on the comments before it was on american idol there werent any comments about it. its insulting in my opinion

[pabapalooza]

yeah i hate the fact that people are only listening to this song because of american idol. ive loved this song forever. and i do watch american idol and haley is my favorite.

[theclassicrock69]

hayley did great on this almost as good as the original even if it was different

[richig761]

@theclassicrock69 Yeah, you just can't top this though. IMO This song sounds better when a man sings it. There's something about a man singing a great blues song that really gets to me.

[JerrySpringerisCool]

Lonely day by system of a down, TOTAL RIP OFF OF THIS SONG!!! this is great, love this song!

[IcyHot311]

I've known this song for so long and I've been completly in love with it. I'm not gonna be one of those people who are like "Ew you should have known this BEFORE haley off american idol". But I know that's so stupid. It does kinda bug me that everyone doesn't know this song anyway...haha. BUT I'm soooo happy Haley introdduced this beautiful song to a new audience!!! I'm 14 and love the fact that people my age will be hearing this cuz of Haley. I <3 REINHART

[tigerlilly77]

@IcyHot311 -I am sorry your rents haven't exposed you to music as you have grown up.

[IcyHot311]

@tigerlilly77 What are you talking about?

[IcyHot311]

@tigerlilly77 My parents have exposed me to music......did you not read my comment? I said I've known this song for a very long time and I love it.

[dallascowboy80]

He's going to town on that keyboard

[dallascowboy80]

His voice does not suit his body, but it's awesome.

[deionKIVING]

I only came here after hearing Haley Reinhart sing this last nite. But this song is epic!! ;P

[socalkgee1027]

totally. i mean drugs obviously have been around forever-they have always and will always be a prominent component of music. its just when people start to use them with the wrong mindset and abuse them. i dont condone drugs just pot :) but for american idol, well thats all you dude haha

[tylerf13ful]

thumbs up if your here because of todays music....because it sucks.....=(

[socalkgee1027]

fuck american idol and anyone who compares the people on that show to the animals. if those people on idol cant even get famous NOW in this day and age with music going down the toilet, it shouldnt even be a show. the animals were famous because they kicked ass and it was sheer talent. ya a lot of musicians and bands have covered the song but so what its a great song, johnny b goodes been covered like a billion times and its still great. the animals have the best version so shut up about idol

[tylerf13ful]

@socalkgee1027 i agree, todays music has no meaning, no heart and soul just drugs.........stupid, but american idol is pretty good, some of the people there are really good  like the kid james

[TheBaseballfrek]

@socalkgee1027

you should be glad bc american idol just made this song 10 times more noticable..

[richig761]

@TheBaseballfrek lol This song was a god damn classic before anybody on american idol was god damn born. Have some respect. If you didn't know this song before idol... Then I feel very very sorry for you.
