The Animals vs. Muse

 Link: [The Animals]


House of the Rising Sun
The Animals
There is
A house
In New Orleans
They call
The Rising Sun
And it’s been
The ruin
Of many a poor boy
And God
I know
I’m one

My mother was
A tailor
She sewed
My new blue jeans
My father was
A gamblin’ man
Down in
New Orleans

Now the only thing
A gambler needs
Is a suitcase and
A trunk
And the only time
He’s satisfied
Is when
He’s on
A drunk

Oh mother
Tell your children
Not to do
What I have done
To spend your lives
In sin and misery
In the house
Of the
Rising Sun

Well I got one foot
On the platform
The other foot on
The train
I’m going back
To New Orleans
To wear
That ball
And chain

Well there is
A house
In New Orleans
They call
The Rising Sun
And it’s been
The ruin
Of many a poor boy
And God
I know
I’m one

***WARNING***
It might be prudent for older listeners to turn the volume down
for at least the first 10 seconds.


House of the Rising Sun
Muse
There is
A house
In New Orleans
They call
The Rising Sun
Well it’s been
The ruin
Of many a poor boy
And God
I know

Well mother
Tell your children
Not to do
What I have done
Or you’ll spend
Your life
In sin and misery
In the house
Of the Rising Sun

Well there is
A house
In New Orleans
They call
The Rising Sun
Well it’s been
The ruin
Of many a poor boy
And God
I know
I’m one

    Oh dear God, No - the Muse version? Noise, nothing but noise - horrible, horrible, horrible!

    If you wanted a comparison you should have used the version by Sinead O'Connor

    P.S. Your warning about turning the volume down - should have been "Turn the volume OFF"

    Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! Well, the warning was prompted by a thought of your reaction to whatever that first sound is on the Muse version after having your volume cranked up while listening to The Animals. I am sorry that it did not go far enough.

    Never liked Muse, never will. They don't make em like they used to.

    Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ryan!!! I find some of Muse tolerable, but I have to agree with Grace that their version of this song is nothing but noise--horrible, horrible noise!

    Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I hope the Muse version didn't hurt Duke's ears.
