This is a horrible cover.. I don't wanna be one of the people who go "animals/_____ did it better", but honestly this just isn't enjoyable. and I usually love muse!
So maybe nobody knows who wrote the song, but I personally think it belongs to The Animals. They made it the classic it is today, but this is a really great cover.
I love the emotional charge that this song delivers. The first time i heard it was as though my skin had been electified and all the hairs had taken notice.
I've read so may comments detracting from their work. This lyrics in this song - no matter which version, are loaded with meaning and feeling.
lol watch this comment get like >9000 thumbs down but this is the best version of House of the Rising Sun, it really is. it's like Muse is being sarcastic with how heavy this cover is and they just ended up filling it with emotion rather than killing it like most people think it did.
Umm. Calling something a cover implies that there was an original it's a cover of. And there is no original to this song and even though there might be something you'd call such - it would only be a first modern recording, because it's more like an american folk song, so actually whatever version of this song we might be listening to nowadays is and will be a cover and therefore - yeah, I know. But not like you can compare this to "the original":P
It's not that it's a bad song it's just that The Animals version is the king. I think there's too much noise in this song and takes away from Muse's lead singer's incredible voice.
Shame on you, viewer! They are raising funds and you're watching this on youtube.

@veryhighsamurai Actually you have 12 thumbs up, and I agree, if not completely, at least mostly, with you.
There is no truly original version of this song, and everybody is free to do whatever they want, in this case being the cover of this song.

@veryhighsamurai it's a fresh interpretation, these things really can go either way but i think as usual muse have nailed it. :)
