| 9/28/25 | ![]() The History of The House of the Rising Sun | I start my new feature here at the Pixel Classroom Podcast with the history of the song: The House of the Rising Sun (1964) by The Animals.

Scholars trace its bones to broadside ballads—folkpoetry sold cheaply in old England—and there’s even a faint resemblance to the16th-century lament, ‘The Unfortunate Rake.’ | — | ||||||
