Respect - Otis Redding / Aretha Franklin 10. The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals / Traditional The Animals’ version is from a male point of view, but the traditional version can use both male and female. Not all traditional versions agree on the exact lyrics, but for example, from 1925: _There is a house in New Orleans, it’s called the Rising Sun_ _It’s been the ruin of many poor girl_ _Great God, and I for one._ And from 1933: _There is a house in New Orleans_ _They call the Rising Sun_ _Where many poor boys to destruction has gone_ _And me, oh God, are one._ Pass. ---
