In my role as a music critic, my only comment is: " Wow, that's f'd up!"

strangely (?) after that cute little dance number up there i start thinking..(i am being exorcised i just know it!) ...but when i was a kid, this is the kind of stuff that when i would hear would light a fire under my feet!

this is the first thing i thought of after seeing that clip (ironic?) i have posted it before but anyway
bonnie raitt and zz top also do versions of this song

It seems that nobody know who has made the hit ' House of the rising sun ' played by Woody , Dylan , Animals etc. There 's even discussion over what ' The house of the rising sun ' was and where it was . Does enybody now more abouth this ?

Now theres a great song with a checkered and much-disputed past! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_the_Rising_Sun for a collection of all the theories, with a sprinkling of documented fact. It's long, but a good and interesting read. Wouldn't you know Alan Lomax would be in there! Other names and places are expected; some are kind of surprising.

Dave Van Ronk never got that one out, that rising son house!

Thank you for the info Seashel , someone even wrighted a book abouth the song .

Looks like Bob Dylan was to fast for him

It's a place in CONO.

"Mothers tell your children, not to do what I have done......"

"Teach your children well, their parents' hell, will slowly go by......"
