I like Frijid Pink’s version better but the Animals did a great job on that song.

Other song on that album was the Vietnam theme song.

Great stuff. I can still picture that album cover hanging on my bedroom wall, much to the chagrin of my mother.

Thanks for posting.

Depending on the version, the song may be sung from the perspective of a woman or a man.
File under: 'You learn something new ever day'.
I only knew of the 'man's version', first heard in '62 on my transistor radio by The Animals.

and shame on Bob Dylan for trying to rip it off as his own. Oops, I mean 'Bob Zimmerman'.

Odetta did an amazing version (from the woman perspective).

Not much of a sense of hope in that song, is there?

The Animal’s version of “House” is one of the ten greatest rock songs of the sixties. Maybe the greatest.

20 years ago Eric Burden partnered up with Robby Kreiger from The Doors and toured around doing both Doors and Animals and even War songs. Saw them perform at a bar from about 5 feet away. FUN!
