I like The Battle of New Orleans even if I am on the other side, but what on earth was Johnny Horton wearing in that clip?
Looks like a white Davy Crockett outfit. File that wardrobe choice under “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” š
You’re the first Brit I’ve ever known who actually liked this song.
In a guilty treasonable sort of way š
Well, if you disappear suddenly we’ll know you’ve been locked up in the Tower of London. š
The “Battle of New Orleans” was a much shorter version of Jimmie Driftwood’s original recording on RCA. Driftwood wrote the song as an aid to teaching his classes about American history
Sort of a precursor to Schoolhouse Rock ? (Google it, those of you not old enough to remember.)
I’m surprised that the Alabama song I can’t even remember was actually a 2 weeker.
Speaking of “The Battle of New Orleans,” Johnny Horton actually recorded a British version too, and the original spawned several parodies.
I remember reading about that version. Didn’t he change the line to ‘we fought the Yankee rebels in the town of New Orleans’?
I never knew that. I’m surprised *he* didn’t get acccused of being unpatriotic for doing that;).
Probably because nobody knows about it. š I’ll bet it was never released on this side of the Atlantic. Now I’m going to have to go looking for it.
