Nature is freedom.

BP PLC vs Obama: Dow Jones vs FTSE100! May the Americans not bail out BP, remember Obama to bail out BP PLC using American tax payer`s money to defend British pensions is to make Americans into Canadians who kept the Queen. If that spill was done in Nova Scotia, perhaps Canadian Loyalists would have been kind, but the Battle of New Orleans is not forgotten in the American of the South, and the USA will NOT let British Petroleum PLC get away with what they did to the Gulf of Mexico.

[DoTheHustle27]

@doubleestark BP isn't a British company anymore. It's only 40% British and for that matter 39% American. The rig was manned by american workers and run by an American manager. Aswell as this it was the American goverment that gave BP permission to build the rig in the first place. I'm not saying that this is only the Americans fault but it seems that people like you would rather just pin all the blame on us Brits rather than admittng that your beloved country isn't perfect.

[DrJSWiGI]

@DoTheHustle27 Or maybe you just wouldnt like to admit the fact that your management has absolutley no regard for safety and thats why the home office decided to keep drilling despite all of the safety problems on the rig

[DoTheHustle27]

@DrJSWiGI What do you meen "home office"? Bp isn't owned by the goverment and as such the goverment has little to no say in were Bp chooses to build its rigs. On the other hand the rig was built in American waters so it was in the American goverments power to tell them to stop drilling.

[DoTheHustle27]

@DrJSWiGI As well as this, though Bp ultimately bears responsibility for this, the rig was built by Transocean (American company) and the cement plug which was supposed to act as a fail safe that failed was made by Halliburton (American company) and of the 126 workers on board only 7 were actually Bp workers.

[DrJSWiGI]

@DoTheHustle27 I never said the blame rested solely on the shoulders of the management, but anybody with any common sense knows not to use halliburton its a crapshoot its like buying something made in china you know its going to break. But when I say home office I mean its based out of Britain even if most of its revenue does come from across the atlantic.

[MDSJR67]

Ole Hickory was a great Man and President! He hated the British like nobody else.The British were indirectly indirectly responsible for His Mother's death. Andrew Jackson's mother died when She caught plague treating the sick in a British concentration camp during the American Revolution. Jackson's hand and face were also badly scarred from getting slashed by a dragoon's sabre after He refused to polish His boots.

[mtp898]

I used to listen to these songs with my dad when I was little, so many good memories from just a short 5 years ago..... Rest In Peace

[peffypeff1]

the only reson there are so meany views is because it was homework for mr.gray to get the lyrics

[goofydog2]

Just in case anyone out there thinks Johnny Horton only sang about the tenacity of the American in New Orleans, pop in SINK THE BISMARCK ~ sung by Johnny Horton at the search tab at the top of the page. He praises the British resolve in this song on You Tube...

[vanhalen901]

Americaa-FUCK YEAH

[RLater]

A soldier wrote a fiddle tune at the end of this Battle and called it "The Eighth of January". Many years later my friend Jimmy Driftwood (James Morris) told his wife Cleda that he was having trouble getting across to his students the difference between the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812 and the Civil War. She told to write a song because he wrote them about everything else. He chose the Eighth of January and put the words to it.

[goofydog2]

@RLater - that's pretty cool if you really knew Jimmy Driftwood, which I can't imagine you'd say so if you didn't for sure. So you've got a good tale to tell from time to time. Neat...

[RLater]

I love these comments. The name of the song is "The Battle of New Orleans". That battle was fought on January 8, 1815. They took the "little trip" in 1914 and were there for the Battle in 1915. The war was over but they did not know it. Cherokee sharp shooters had come down from Arkansas to fight with Jackson's army which made it bad when he ordered the Removal of the rest of the Cherokee down the "Trail of Tears."

[CherrimBunearyEmily2]

i think we watched this for history...... im in 7th.

[Mr1solomon1]

I JUST LOVE THIS!!!!!!

[louislungbubble]

this song was supposed to be written by a history teacher?....the british didnt run away after two volleys....some retreated and some were shot to pieces on the field waiting for orders to retreat...on the west bank of the river it was the new orleans militia and the kentuckians who ran away abandoning all their artillery.......andrew jacksons greatest fear was that the british would get to hand to hand with the bayonet....as it happened the brits were shot to a standstill.

[goofydog2]

@louislungbubble - in my opinion, that would NOT have made for a very good song! Damn too long and confusing. ...Instead, they run the British down the Mississippi, eat some bacon and some beans, fire off some alligators head and the war is won. Now, that made for a good song! Your song would have been too boring to make it so big back it's day. Sorry...

[louislungbubble]

@goofydog2 i dont disagree with you that its a great song..it is ...but it struck me that the lyrics were written by a schoolteacher to get his students interested in the war of 1812...as they sate mate..never let the truth stand in the way of a good story. the british infantry showed plenty of guts in that battle....yeh my middle name is "boring" haha

[goofydog2]

@louislungbubble that's the ticket...

[coolcracer]

@blondeS0727 witch we won!! go UK and CANADA

[Aztecalt1997]

did the U.S. recieve help from the Native americans during the war of 1812?

[bobpin1]

@Aztecalt1997 other way around the natives helped them

[Aztecalt1997]

oh ok thanx :]

[blondeS0727]

@everyone

the battle that the song talks about happened in New Orleans in 1814 during the war of 1812.

[bobpin1]

in 1814 the piece treaty was already sighed but old hickory did not receive the message till after the battle

[4470268]

top song bloke

[NiNAcoAsTA]

my history teacher played this song for us

[panicmanicp]

its "well in 1814 we took a little trip"

[derrick713]

no its the battle of new orleans you retard learn your history

[blondeS0727]

It's known as the battle of New Orleans AND 1814. Maybe YOU should learn your history before you call people retards. (which I take offensively)

[derrick713]

googled 1814 and got a whole list of stuff

[ItsKat01]

I never heard this song before, but my dad played one of his CDs in the car and I loved it....

On my way to school, everyday, my dad and I would listen to this and act like goofs!

[7SwitzerlandAustria7]

I love the banjo in the beginning!

[TheBattlefieldCrab]

@thegmaer (whatever name is) no there should not. Just because mw2 sucks. We beed one relating to portal 2 or half life 2 or anthing but stuff in the call of duty series!

[UAShortround]

Soccer fans need to sing this when we play England in the World Cup XD

[jcsrealty]

His legacy is now seen as mixed, as a protector of popular democracy and individual liberty for WHITE MALE citizens. Renowned for his toughness, he was nicknamed Old Hickory ".. RIP OLD HICK!

[firecracker112]

old hickory was a bad man if i may say so myself, he was VERY unreasonable toward the native american's during his presidency going so far as to kidnap osceola the leader of a rebellion toward jackson's forces and also do some other devastating things toward these people, leaving this country with a bad reputation

[hktori]

i ove this song

[Thegamer5150]

there should be a parody of this relating to the events of Call Of Duty MW2

[452andrea]

lol beverly hillbillies

[AllRequired]

The original version wasn't meant to be anything more than a history lesson. It's kind of hard to be historically accurate with rhyming verses.

[Tvlunch]

WE FIRED OUR GUNS AND THE BRITISH KEPTA COMIN THERE WERNT AS MANY AS THERE WAS A WALLA GO lol

[Loviekinz]

I love this song, I don't know what though lol it's just giddy!

[Love4SK]

i like the arrogant worms version better, lol. its more accurate

[LaFlacs]

i used to wake up to my step mom playing his music..lol finally i found this song again lol reminds me of sunday sleeping in before heading over to gma coopers house for brunch :)

[brileyy07]

actually this battle was after the war.

[jwilliam10]

Why the pictures of Napoleon and the French grenediers at the start. by the way it is the War of 1812.

[blondeS0727]

i didnt know that picture was there, my sister made the video

i think the song is called 1814, even though it is the war of 1812

[blondeS0727]

ok.....history is not my strong point....lol

[bobpin1]

@blondeS0727 well it was called the war of 1812

[blondeS0727]

@bobpin1 the war lasted a couple of years. the battle that the song talks about was in new orleans in 1814

[Dnewhall20]

haha I want this as my ringtone lol. God I love this song. =)

[EarthaKit2]

Hate war. But by golly, just this song, would make pick up a rifle and a-go.
