The House of the Rising Sun is about a brothel in New Orleans
More of casino with attached brothel. Song mostly about adiction to gambling and how it can ruin your life, leading to other problems.
What is a brothel?
@@angelone1839 a brothel is essentially a whorehouse
@@angelone1839kid friendly answer: a brothel is where soup broth is made.
Joke answer: a brothel is a horror house.
'Mature' answer: a brothel is where lonely or curious people pay other people to experiment with sexual acts that satisfy a need their traditional relationships might not be fulfilling. I
@@bradleymcconnell470 Literally, not essentially.
One take...ONE TAKE! That is all Eric Burdon and the Animals needed to make the what I consider to have been the Greatest Blues/Rock song of all time!
Eric Burdon.
How to look 12 and 40 at the same time
LOOK 12, but SOUND 40. 😁
Haha 💯
Get the girls and the women too.
released in 1964. They made the video in one take, in 15 minutes. After
they finished, they did a show. way ahead on their time. This song
really is heart wrenching, it is embracing the darkness in ourselves.
Very moving. I think the house of the rising sun is whatever your torment is,
what prison we made for ourselves. Instead of breaking free of destruction, chaining ourselves
to the misery of our the lives we created.
It's a song about a brothel that really existed in New Orleans in the 1800s.
Nailed it.
The House of the Rising Sun is a classic. Surreal, what I call a haunting emotional story. One of my all-time favorites.
Singers of the past definitely had a measure of talent that should get respect today-- but another way to look at it is that anything which can be made fifty or more years ago and still remain popular and well loved today has definitely reached down into the human soul and touched it in a way that is not easily forgotten.
The Ball and Chain is his addictions: gambling, drinking etc.
Yes he tried to get away from it but it pulled him back
Those lyrics were added by the animals to make the song radio friendly. The original song is about a woman.
Bingo. People take it literally to mean he's going to prison, but that's totally wrong. It's a metaphor for his addiction to gambling, drinking and whoring in The House of the Rising Sun- a New Orleans brothel.
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.
Thought the Rising Sun was a gambling and whorehouse?
I’m always floored at Eric Burdon’s age when this was recorded. I feel this one in my BONES!
Being in the early twenties (if I remember correct), looking like 15, sounding like 50 with a strong 'whiskey and cigarettes' diet. What an outstanding voice.
Seriously, one if the most soul meeting song of its age, and even now. So powerful.
Eric was 23 when he recorded this. He’s 80 now!! Just think, this was all done without autotune.
I agree with you he sounds like he should be 40. He has boyish goof looks but he nails the soul of the older man who could not escape his father's life of drinking and gambling and womanizing.
The haunting tone of this song has made it ripe for many movie sound tracks.
I saw Eric Burdon perform on one of those PBS specials a number of years back. Still had the pipes.
The House of the Rising Sun is almost certainly a bawdy house.
Hard to believe it was 56 years ago..my favourite version of this song. 🇨🇦💕
Everyone says that same thing. Eric Burdon looks very young, sounds very mature at the same time..Amazing
It's a waltz in 6/8 time in a pattern of 7 (1, 2 and 3, 4, 5, 6)... the guitar, ride cymbal and organ are all pounding it out... it's hypnotic.
It was a famous Brothel in New Orleans. It was his voice and they were decades ahead of their time.
No, it wasn't.
@@aceldamia9114 What wasn't?
@@aceldamia9114 it was lol what
The House of the Rising House was a reputed brothel in turn of the century New Orleans. But....it was also an opium den and a hangout for drug addicts, the equivalent of a crack house today.
He's english. The Animals were a band from Newcastle in England
Eric has one of my fav voices of all time. He is the best. Love this song
It is a traditional song. Made big by The Animals. This one is definitely played in Casino, when all the bad boys get killed in the end to clean the sheets of the high level mobsters, lol... if you are on a 60's streak try You Really Got Me from The KinKs... start of garage rock.
One of my top 5 favorite songs ever.
The singers name is Eric Burden many good songs with The Animals and War. Great voice on him.
The ball and chain was just a metaphor for his addictions. He couldn't make it in the world even though he tried to start life anew, so he's going back to the only place he knows, to gamble and drink..
The song has been played in many movies and tv shows (Suicide Squad, The Transporter, Sons of Anarchy and many many more).
FFDP just did a remake a couple years ago too. Was on the radio quite a bit.
@@91GT347 yeah, but I don't think that kind of radio station would be on Docs radar
Martin Scorsese’s “Casino”
@@thomsboys77 Exactly.
Amazing song whats more amazing is the era it came from the 60s just pumped out hundreds of incredible artists and songs
Rock's golden age
Great react!🔥

That keyboard player is putting in some serious work!!!! Whew!
Eric is about 80 and still singing, can't drown those pipes.
It's a traditional song about a brothel, and the original lyric was "it's been the ruin of many a poor girl, to spend your life in sin and misery."
I was coming here to say this! Thank you!
💁🏾♀️ Yes! The original version was sung from the female protagonist POV. However, there are variants on how the story is played-out apparently.
This was a cautionary tail that very easily could’ve been true.
A woman tells the story ‘bout how she ended-up workin’ in the brothel. The woman met a man she’d fell for in a gambling establishment. She fell hard for him ‘n they ended-up together. He had a terrible gamblin’ problem that she had to pay-off by becomin’ a prostitute in the brothel. The woman goes home for a visit to plead with her mother to keep her younger sister from doin’ what she’d done [gettin’ mixed-up in the wrong crowds eventually costing her her youth, beauty, ‘n any chance from breakin’ free from the ball ‘n chain of prostitution].
The song ends with her sayin’ she’s has to return to the ball ‘n chain to serve out the rest of her days under the house of the rising sun.
Side note: There was also a woman’s prision ironically called: The House of the Rising Sun down in NO as well. So the ball ‘n chain could also be a reference that because she was a prostitute at that establishment (or shed murdered that no good gambler man of hers)...she could’ve gotten busted ‘n was serving a life’s sentence at this place. That she’s tellin’ the story to her Mama who came to visit her unfortunate daughter who’d got caught-up in the wrong place...with the wrong ppl...at the wrong time.
There was a home in NO nick named House of the Rising sun based on a French woman [madam, Marianne LeSoleil Levant, whose surname means "the rising sun"]
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun#Possible_real_locations
The fact he's going back refers to addiction.
The Honeycombs "Have I the right to hold you" from the 50's. My favourite love song, that bumps....
I believe this song is older than this version. Probably dating back to the early 1900s
It is an American folk song, many artists have recorded it. There is a version told from the perspective of one of the women that works in the Rising Sun, as well.
Glad somebody got it mostly right.
@Ace Damia, I realized after posting it that this song, like a folk song, traces back much farther than the U.S. I believe that it traces back to somewhere to the 1600s, possibly farther, and it came to the U.S. with immigrants-I want to say, Irish? But I am not certain. It did gain certain popularity in America recordings in the 1900s.
@@evilgenius4213 That is actually the original recorded version, it has been done several times in that way since.
Much older, from turn of the century...
Eric Burdon was such a badass in this era of their career.
That great big voice coming out of that little bitty man was their trademark.
This song was originally written by a bluesman called Leadbelly in the early 1900s, this is essentially a cover of it but not many people know this
It is far older than that. It is an old English folk song from centuries ago. Leadbelly may have adapted it with these lyrics though.
You should hear his talking voice. The accent is brutal 😂😂😂
THE ANIMALS do not go out of style......ever. 💚💚💚L E G E N D S💚💚💚.
A classic, you will of heard it somewhere for sure. Love the reactions and the positivity Rich!
Believe it or not that particular house still stands and I bet has gone through a whole lot of managements as well!
LOL @ 7:18 the band is walking around trying to be serious and that one guy is smiling from ear to ear..
One of my absolute favorites
Noticed a couple of things.
Drummer chewing gum.
Organ with black keys.
They moved the organ away from drummer at the end without missing a beat. Awesome.
First published version was in the 1920s but it's origin possibly dates back to 1600s
To 1860/1870 when that brothel existed in New Orleans which was the inspiration for the song but the song itself wasn't written until the 1920's, blues, which is why the version by The Animals has so much Soul to it.
House of the Rising Sun - A house of ill repute in New Orleans, a type of men's club back in the day that would be a combination of a casino, brothel, hotel, bar, which many a young man became addicted to the point that it consumed them, and the song serving as a warning to not fall in to the same trap, because even as he warns you he then goes on to say that he's going right back down to New Orleans to wear that "ball and chain" (addiction to gambling/drinking) at the House of The Rising Sun (open all night long)
Eric also was in the band War...lead singer...check it out. Also he is on face book...check him out in 2020
This is one of my favorites. Funny think that this was banned from the radio when it was released.
It was a gambling den and brothel in New Orleans. 🤙🏻
Eric Burdon. The rock band original bad boy. Due to Burdons vocals ...the Animals were considered harder core than the average band in those early years. The House of the Rising Sun was a brothel/gambling house.
This chord progression was known by every upstart musician for eons.
Am C D F. E
By the way, this song was in the background music of the movie "Casino"
Wow. So glad I found you in here. You are awesome. Good music good reactions. Love it #fan for life ❤️
The overall song is about a man who grew up seeing his father struggle with his vices ( gambling and drinking ). He's grown up and is struggling to leave it "one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train" and he's warning parents against letting their children live a life of sin and misery like him and his father before him. The ball and chain at the end is him deciding to basically go back to his vices ( gambling and drinking ).
He is being sent to prison.
I saw this for the first time when I was in the 4th grade in 1964. I thought Eric Burdon was about the coolest person I’d ever seen.
Most of these early British groups that followed the Beatles in that British invasion, , including the Beatles themselves, & the Rollingstones too, covered songs of black American rock&roll & blues artists of the era & earlier! This band had this song, plus, in tribute to Sam Cooke, went into the studio & covered his BRING IT ON HOME TO ME (which is still my personal favorite of their songs. I'm 70) days after he was murdered in LA. The Beatles did a few Larry Williams, Chuck Berry & Isley Bros., etc. Had it not been for them (and Elvis) many of these songs & artists would have remained obscured & not given their deserved recognition!
Yep. Leadbelly did the original rendition of this I believe.
This very song was in the movie Casino! yup you can watch the movie for yourself! ;)
I always wondered what this song was about. Love this song and his voice is amazing. Agreed that you would never believe that the lead singer is so talented. This song was also on American Horror Story and when I heard it it became part of my Playlist.
Eric Burdon is great, Watch the video “Spill the Wine” with his later band, War for a nice trip. This singer is also the “Eggman” from the Beatles song, “I am the Walrus” and he was also close friends with Jimi Hendrix. He’s had a very interesting life.
Animals we gotta get out of this place
The song was used in sons of anarchy which was sung by The White Buffalo
One of my favorite songs and TH-camrs in the same video
back then it was about the voice.you could sing or you couldnt.just that simple.God given from birth.
From Manchester, England; the Animals had a unique gritty, working class sound.
They come from Newcastle
The song has been around since the 1860s and was originally sung by a woman about a brothel. Burdon, the singer, changed it to a man since he was singing the song.
Leadbelly did a rendetion before Eric. I believe that is the first original recording.
It's in the film Casino when sharon stone overdosed at the end
👏🏿
This song was played in its entirety at towards the end of Casino. I feel like alot of people heard it there. It ends up in tons of TV and film shows.
Theres many theories, but there is a house in new Orleans called house of the rising sun, but it's a B&B. To actually know you'd have to ask the band members it's true meaning, but it's a song, so you can think what you want it to be.
It was a brothel , where there was gambling, drinking, hustling. and according to the lyrics ball and chain meant you could get addicted, not a very good place for children!!!😎✌
The irony of the Animals having a song called "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood."
Gotta quit pushing this false narrative.
The whole dynamic is gold. How about the synth player? This band popped
This was Alan Price who was a great piano player and had a solo career.
This song is so hard for me to listen to because it was my Pops favorite song (RIP). Please do Simon and Garfunkel Bridge over Troubled Water. The R&R Hall of Fame version.
always love your videos man! Would love to see more British Invasion reactions, ESPECIALLY some Beatles!
"Spill The Wine"
The Animals was a famous British band
It’s in the end of the movie “Casino”
I swear this song is in every beginner guitar book, DVD, music school, or top umpteen essential guitar songs on youtube
Been used in movies, a lot of the 60s classic rock songs have been used in movies over the years. As an aside 60s classic rock is a golden era, like mid to late 90s hip hop. There is a gold mine of great music in both eras. You cant go wrong diving down a rabbit hole of either.
I love this song ❤️❤️
It was also in Casino. The scene where Sharon Stone dies. 3
Song dates back to the 1800s or before, no one knows the origin. Originally the song was about a girl who may or may not have become a prostitute? It may be about a brothel but there are no historical records of any place called The Rising Sun in New Orleans except for a brothel that would have come around years after the song already existed
The Eggman :)
;)
I’ve always thought that The House of The Rising Sun was an illegal gambling house, and that he was talking about going to prison for gambling.
you get this song. ...Welcome!
THE SONG IS ABOUT A DOUGHTIER WHO KILLED HER DAD WHO HAD A GAMBLING PROBLEM AND KILLED THE MOM
"CASINO" it was towards the end of the movie Casino when Sharon Stone's character is walking down the hallway hugging the wall.
Had a crush on him back in the days..
This was made in One take No fucking autotune!
IT WAS FIRST SUNG BY A AFRIKAN AMERICAN BLUES SINGER NAMED LEADBELLY AND THEN ALSO BY NINA SIMONE AND OF COURSE THE ANIMALS.
Great voice from a young man! Took this from Answers.com "The song is on the soundtrack for Casino (1995), The Waterboy (1998), The Best of Youth (2003), Remember the Titans (200), 15 Minutes (2001), Confidence (2003) and numerous television shows." 🎧 💓 🎶
Other must: Peter Gabriel Here comes THE flood. Live in Athens is great.
George Harrisons induktion to hall of Fame ( THE Beatles). With Jeff Lynne Tom Petty Steve Winwood and then Prince steals THE show. Epic guitar solo!!
Five Finger Death Punch remade the song that played in a number of movies
So great song that even my piano cover sounds good!!! 😉😉
If you've seen Casino, the gangster movie about Vegas, that's where you've heard it.
If you have watched Martin Scorsese's "Casino", you have heard "House of the Rising Sun" before.
Five finger death punch also did a cover of this song
If you want to hear a powerful voice that doesn't seem like it should come out of a person, try The Small Faces - All or Nothing is a great track, or Tin Soldier. They had so many. Steve Marriott was the lead singer.
Other sixties songs Procol Harum A whiter shade of pale! Live Copenhagen 2006 is great.
THE house of THE Risinge Sun. Made in One take No fucking autotune!!
Suicide Squad had this as their kinda opening song at the start of the film.
Spill the wine Eric Burden War
And it was just 12 years open for business!!!
There's a cover of this song in Westworld.
The roots of the song are unclear, but it appears to have originated from an African-American folk song, and it is disputed about what it refers to. One is a brothel whose madam had a French name meaning rising sun and another is a women's prison with a rising sun motif on its entrance. Most likely its a mix of both or even other things thrown in.
Paint it black. It's fire!
I'm sure you have. It's everywhere. It was pretty much their only hit. And it's a cover. It was originally written and sung by a woman, and was about a woman entering a life of prostitution, not a man with a gambling problem.
Group is from 1964 before computer and Auto tune
