The Animals - House of the Rising Sun

Truly remarkable song. When I saw the Scorcese movie 'Casino', I could pleasantly remember the amazing song which was running in the background when bodies got piled up after being brutally slaughtered near Las Vegas in the movie's climax. The song had a distinct "western" tinge (those typical Ennio Morricone or Clint Eastwood kind).

Video here

The song has a mesmerizing effect when you listen to it.
