pink floyd - house of the rising sun (not sure who did the original but here is the web site anyway http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ho...the_Rising_Sun) i have also heard versions by the animals and bob dylan and they both kick ass aswell

House of the Rising Sun is a traditional folksong, that as far as I know dates too far back to know who wrote it. One of the earliest recordings I've found is by Ledbelly (avatar). The lyrics have changed a bit. My favorite is the Animals version, the organ is incredible.
Found a link apparently it may be as old as 17th century.
