About "The House of the Rising Sun":
"The House of the Rising Sun" is a traditional folk song that became very popular in popular culture because so many artists including a band, The Animals (English R and B rock band), did their versions of this song. Originally, it started as a blues song in New Orleans. But other research shows that it might have come from Europe (possibly France or England) before that.
