Real stations dare to play anything that fits their genre, not just the songs others do.

The good ones also educate their listener base, as well as entertain. I learned something new today. I have always thought that The Animals version was the first. Thanks to KDOK's airing, and gbranch's keen ear, I now know better. Simply awesome, Chuck. Keep up the good work. My phone rarely sees any Tunein action other than what's delivered to me from the Hill of Chalk.

It's an old song, there were folk and country versions recorded long before the Animals classic. BTW I dont think KTAL 98 Rocks has ever played the Frigid Pink version in the 20+ years I've listened to them. So thanks to Chuck for digging that one up.

Might I make a request? I haven't heard it on KDOK as of yet, but could I get a spin of Bobby Pickett & The Cryptkickers' "Monster Mash" for the upcoming holiday spooktacular? Not doing so would be a grave error, lol...
Haven't heard that OTA since KLDE used to spin it regularly down here. If I've missed it along the way, my apologies.

The better known Animals version predates Frijid Pink's cover by 5 years. But Frijid Pink's version is superior, IMHO. YMMV. It supposedly was a minor hit back in 1970, especially in the North and Northeast US and Canada. Frijid Pink was from Detroit.
It's quite comical if you go on Youtube and search for the song and see how many times people refer to it as Pink Floyd's cover of House of the Rising Sun.
