Eric Burdon says Donald Trump's use of "House of the Rising Sun" "suits him so perfectly"
The Animals' Eric Burdon has responded to Donald Trump playing "House of the Rising Sun" for a campaign event, stating that it "suits him so perfectly".
Last week (2 September), Trump played "House of the Rising Sun" as his Air Force One aircraft taxied at North Carolina’s Wilmington International Airport.
Over the weekend, The Animals' Eric Burdon has responded to Trump playing their hit on Instagram, writing, "Even though nobody asked my permission, I wasn’t surprised to learn that Trump used "House of the Rising Sun" for his rally the other day..."
His caption continues, "A tale of sin and misery set in a brothel suits him so perfectly! Far more appropriate for this time in our history might be #WeGottaGetOutofThisPlace."
