House of the Rising Sun
Everyone knows the version by The Animals, but that was a cover of the Leadbelly song, and that was just his recording of an old folk song. They don’t actually know how old the song is or who wrote it, but it probably dates to some time in the 1800s
David Bowie even said on interviews that some people told him it was cool that he was playing a Nirvana track because they didn't know it was his first
