My mother and father bought a record of it, put it away, and gave it to me for my birthday when I got to be 13 years old.

"The House of the Rising Sun" The Animals

[annulla]

Louie did it before that though!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLIrS5dtTZI&feature=related


True, Louie Armstrong sang Mack the Knife before Darrin, but he wasn't the first.

The song was originally written for the 1928 German musical Die Dreigroschenoper (known in English as The Threepenny Opera). It was composed by Kurt Weill for his wife, Lotte Lenya, who was the first to perform the song.

Bobby Darin's swinging version was the most popular in the US, but his presentation certainly doesn't reflect the song's dark subject matter of a thoroughly evil man who dispassionately commits rape, arson and murder.

I couldn't find a video of Lotte Lenya's original performance (it might not have been filmed), but the musical was filmed in 1930 with a man performing the song.

[mcclave]

I like the song Blinded by the Light, but I think that has to have to most misunderstood lyrics.

Yes, that would have been very funky! LOL

[Ravin]

You guys have some very cool songs! Thanks for posting many I haven't heard in a long time and I know what to add to my play list.

[Darkbee]

It's just one of those songs that no matter what you gotta smile or laugh. I know I do no matter how many times I hear it.:smile5: The original 7" I bet its worth something now.

You have never heard Blinded by the Light! You have to hear it when you get a chance. As soon as I saw your post I thought about the lyrics.
