Johnny Horton was the greatest country singer, if you disagree, watch this a few more times, then it'll get so catchy it won't come out of your head.

[06090401111111111111]

gator lost his mind ran so fast

[pbandj098]

you yakies my have won the battle of New orleans but Britain won the war

[calicountryboy21]

@pbandj098 listen u brit i dont care if u one because we are still a free country

[tron81]

@pbandj098 neither side won the war, which was politically a win for the USA because it showed we could stand up to Britain. That's why some call it the 2nd War for Independence.

[pbandj098]

@tron81 not true BVritain won because the Us didnt get there objectives

[ralphrose1]

I was born ..when this song was NUmber 1...MY STep N DAD loved this song...Love you Jess Hammond 4ever&eternity~~

[Alikah1]

@emcamev What gave it away?

[CSUTAMTAM]

JOHNNY HORTON IS A GENIUS SONG WRITER

[SuperCrazyman666]

the british the first drumline

[MissPriss214U]

I am only 24 but I love the older country like this..

[Bleedinghearts08]

I love this song

[jewbybrother579]

we watches this today in history class. i assume you can guess what we're studying.

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

I don't every remember seeing thisa video on tv, of coase all we had was one station (CBUT), AND PROGRAMS LIKE THIS DIDN'T REGISTER, THE CLOSET WE CAME TO MUSIC WAS THE eD sULLIVAN sHOW AND lATER lAWRENCE wELK...MY HOW THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED. Why are there a few songs about New Orleans, like way down Yonder too...New Orleans holds no interest to me KLatrina, I'd rather visit the Bahamas.

[CenaTv2]

@Ezdduf4kuZ This clip is from The Ed Sullivan Show.

[allgoraro]

not PC at all--love it.

[pghjan1]

I love it too.

[katie66080]

I freakin love this song :) So catchy

[p70581]

@Coolkillerbear Wasn't that a well made and very informative documentary? I've got it on VHS and after payday I'm going to purchase a DVD copy from PBS!

[TsukasaWave1994]

@Coolkillerbear

so did i :3

[IAmTheStig320]

As a Brit, I don't feel embarassed by this song, I just feel very sad. The 300 British soldiers who died in this battle died for nothing, as did the 13 Americans. The Treaty of Ghent was signed a few days before the battle so the war was over. The whole battle was utterly pointless.

[TsukasaWave1994]

@IAmTheStig320

Sadly the reason's for that is that news that the war was over din't get there in time and when British where invading Louisiana and Jackson was keeping them out .

[pgs5719]

@IAmTheStig320 I feel for the all the loss there too; every time I see TV recreations of the battle of New Orleans I feel I great trepidation of my mind and body to see all of those soldiers wasted...god bless their souls on both sides; wished the treaty would have gotten to those poor souls before that battle.

[holmesbinton]

Very good! ;)

[oneputtsteven]

My 4-H group performed this as a skit in lip synch as part of a 4-H contest 40 some years ago in the '70's

We won a blue ribbon at the Illinois State Fair. We had a ton of fun and learned some US history at the same time.

I think Jimmy Driftwood would be very happy.

[Thearl]

Thanks for the post.

[danj530]

A dear friend of mine would comment of this song during our work days... his name was Stanley Holmes... Stanley you will never be forgotten we still talk about you at work... he's still my #1 Canal worker miss you "Craig" love Dan!

[lovewhtdove]

I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG , WHEN YOU READ THE HISTORY OF THIS BATTLE, THIS SONG IS EVEN MORE AWESOME.. A FEW REMANTS TAKE ON THE WORLD'S GREATEST MILITARY. THEY HAD LITTLE AMMUNITION, {REFERENCE TO THE ALLIGATOR}, ALMOST HAD TO THROW ROCKS AT THEM,} THEY DUG IN, BUT WHAT SAVE THEM AND EVENUALLY WON THE BATTLE, WAS THEY KNEW THE TERRAIN,{REFERENCE TO WHERE A RABBIT COULD NOT GO} THEY KEPT BRITISH LOST...

[Wolfen443]

@papajoesvideoscom1, that sucks the greedy companies are ruining this world.

[BrightMidnight]

Amazing! I love this man. I starting listening to him at a young age.  So I had my own image of the things he sings about. Then you come to it in school...aced it every time. Thank you and RIP, Johnny Horton.

[rgjraccoon]

Maybe Sofa Entertainment or whoever has the rights to all of the Ed Sullivan archives needs to set up the Ed Sullivan channel on YouTube, run a 15 sec ad before the vid plays. Until they do something like this or somehow make the archives available for viewing, they should just keep quiet about independent posting

[ThisCountryGirl55]

ahahaha he looks like my history teacher! :P

[08saywhat]

My dad used to sing this song to us when we were little and I still know all the words. My children are probably the only kids their age who also know the words to this song. LOL

[ProudAndZionist]

Happy Birthday American brothers, this is 4th of July:)

[Chrisleeturner1997]

This is the best song ever and I'm 13

[cusick420]

Awesome video! I love this song!!

[mkl62]

To all you pro wrestling fans (like myself): This was the #1 song in the USA when Kevin Nash came into the world (July 9, 1959).

[MrBruceg52]

[hydra1970]

Basis for the Les Humphries song Mexico

[chocoholics13]

I love this song. My social studies teacher introduced all the 8th grade to this song. Almost everyone in my class loves this song.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Great song.

God bless Johnny Horton.

George Vreeland Hill

[imperialmovies66]

REAL country music!

[cardinalsfan12002]

love this song.

[sweethouse08]

I grew up listening this album because my paw who justed passed away and he always played it for us

[dedawen]

I grew up to this entire album (I grew up in Alaska, a couple of these songs meant a lot to me as a child) though this video is painful to watch.

[finsfan45]

Watching this I had to get out the LP that my father bought all those years ago. It still sounds as good now as it did back then.

[Mr49pickle]

Awesome I love 1800 battle songs

[redlizzybeth]

AWESOME>>> I have only heard this song sung by friends ..

[Sweenchen1]

[bobu46]

Always a pleasure to listen - R.I.P. Johnny !! And don't forget to sink the BISMARCK !

[paraguard60]

I'm "Bloody British" too, i think this song is brilliant!!

[MrBruceg52]

@paraguard60 As a Canadian, I have always loved this song. Does that make me worthy of treason?

[paraguard60]

@MrBruceg52 Yes it does! But you are forgiven..............

[dancehowmie67]

my dad loves this man to death it reminds him of his dad when it was on records johnny horton is sooooo awsome tumbs up if you like

[19flipped]

I pray Mr. Horton will forgive these childish comments while he reads them there up in heaven. Just try to enjoy the man's legacy without all the back biting .

[rockinandblonde]

this is bloody great i've know it since i was like 5 and always enjoyed singing it at the top of my voice getting told of by next door ;P

[TheTime4solutions]

this song was about kicking the Rothschild central bank our of the usa. 1913 they came back using a compounding, usury system of creating false debt to justify the immoral extorted theft system called tax. Again we are in a debt slave nation and again we need to kick the Rothschild Bank out. This song is historic. Thank you J Horton

[1sniper408]

if u cant relate to this song then ur doomed it the future

[cheergymnast1029]

omg my social studies teacher showed me this song and i showed my dad it and he like omg i remember this song....i was like ewww ur old

[1sniper408]

@cheergymnast1029 rap will be old in 6 more years. i mean comon. i said nursury rymes when i was in 2nd grade

[uncletinkle]

Here's a challenge for y'all. Let's see some folks perform this song made-up as Sontarans! WHOO DOGGIES!!!

[sabrinarox91]

my dad used to sing this to me so now i love this song

[crackersweeks]

@sabrinarox91 Mine too.

[smaladd]

j'adore,vive Johnny Horton.

[Micelli1947]

REMEMBER THIS WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY STILL IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

[ffairlane57]

Lived too short.

[TaylorTaller]

Oh how this reminds me of my Dad. He has always sang it since I can remember.

(:

[Edwardjr01]

Johnny Horton is my favorite singer

[sfjohn5]

why do they have white on or is that because its in black white it looks that way

[ObamaTookMyDer]

@sfjohn5 The outfits the americans are wearing are white looking because the outfits would originally be made out a animals skins which are fairly light color, and the reason they are wearing the skin outfits instead of normal military uniforms is because the american soldiers were mostly pioneers and frontiersmen that offered to help fight the british out of the new territory, ( lousiana was mostly undiscovered at the time).

[lindygee]

@frankiehiyo Anyone who understands the complex history between our two nations understand that it was more akin to a child getting its independence from its mother and then growing to an adult and renewing the relationship. America would not be America without the motherland--our laws, our literature, our language, and more. Had she been part of the commonwealth, America would not be the country she is today. Our independence helped Britain in her darkest hour. A win-win. Cheers!

[TheJamesDun]

@lindygee I've never heard it that way before, but I completely agree! Very good metaphor.

[TheJDeaux]

I had the 45 of this as a teenager (long before I moved to Louisiana). Bought it for this song, the "A" side? "North to Alaska"

[LongknifeTrooper]

I have to inform PETA, I guess!

They abused an alligator...

[derangedguy]

gator technology is what won us our independence!

[RebelliousPatriot]

@derangedguy they had Gator Aid

[greenanarchyify]

@RebelliousPatriot by far the best comment

[isawman1]

I pictured him with long hair and moustashe.

[evac93rd]

Have to love Mr. Horton

[MrJoeygeeee]

My dad used to sing this to me when I was a kid.

"When we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind."

[fatzmember]

i hate it when we learn about songs in school and you have to listen to someone else sing it

[nomicrowave]

Love this video. Thank you for uploading.

[grb345]

gotta love the cannon special effects

[DhingisKahn]

Yes,yes yes.Tip your hat to the Singin' Fisherman!Thanks for posting this!

[grandmafrosty]

my history teacher had us write a verse to a song about the war of 1812, and i thought mine was not very good. what do you people in america think? it goes like this:

The British were already at war with France,

They attacked us and started to dance,

(Dance dance Revolution in fact)

We declared war on them to get them back.

They burned the White House,

We beat them in New Orleans.

That just proves to show, from San Diego to Queens,

Just don't mess with us,

Cause we will bake your beans.

[kjclarke56]

@grandmafrosty First line says it all!

[frankiehiyo]

The British did not run away, they walked. They marched through the most difficult terrain to a gathering point some way down the line. All the time they were expecting

to be pursued by the Americans, but not one person left the confines and safety of the fortified embankment to give chase..

[FreeWhoopin1390]

@almanacofsleep Yes, I sleep good at night anyways.

[Animefan300]

i always liked this song. its just so catchy lol

[0ldNorthState]

Dixie horn intro is essential...

[martha33478]

i love this song my use too play this song for me when i was alittle girl

[kenzieiscool4321]

when i was younger, me, my grandfather, and my dad would drive around, going from place, to place when we were on vacation and listen to this song. i know ever word down. we had it on a tape, but i decided to be 'cool' and bring it to my grams, and be like 'yo listen to his', and then i lost it there. :3. i miss it!

[sbrooks1966]

My uncle used to sing this for us kids when we were little. I sing it to my son when I am putting him down to sleep at night. He just turned 1 and so I've been singing it to him for about a year now. My lyrics are a bit different and I didn't know all of them but it's very close. He just grins as I accentuate "..the Gulf of MexiCOOOOOOOOO....and drag it out in a real low deep tone. LOL. Very nostalgic.
