[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 295348, member: 1991"] For me, House of the Rising Sun" can only be growled out by Eric Burdon and the Animals. I used to play it on the piano and do some growling myself (when nobody else was home). "Billy Don't Be a Hero" doesn't bother me so much with the sound of it, but the story of it makes me want to grab the couple by the hair and bang their heads together. But then - it was born in the anti-war era of the late 60s/early 70s. Mind you, I'm also anti-war, but not unreasonable about it. It would require very extraordinary circumstances before I could serve in the armed services; probably very extraodrinary circumstances before they would accept me. But I have never attacked those who joined up. However, I think during that hippie era, a lot of people did jump onto the "let's bash armed services in general" bandwagon and as a result a lot of ghastly stuff found its way to the charts.
