Battle of New Orleans - Better Audio

[SniperKitty101]

have to memorize and sing this song on camera for history class.

but its a fun song.

[highlandergeneral]

lol gwyddyon, id have to agree but the indians wer hostile, not frendly 'here leme show you how to plant corn' indians

[lakota850]

this reminds me of my dad

[jerseydevs2000]

So what's the message of this song?

Rednecks > Hooligans **

**Rednecks must be well-armed for this equation to work.

[DET832]

We'd tank some beers and sing this one LOUD !!!!

[marysharp9]

if the wnts to rise again why didnt they win

[Alexander72186]

the South shall rise again!

[thexboss22]

It's not about the Civil War... the British are in it.

Unless you were just sayin that for the hell of it lol.

[stevenstreets3]

If you think the south ever fell it never will rise. Andrew Jackson was Americas best president.The only one that ever threw the criminal fractional reserve central banking system out of the government and balanced the budget by doing so. Native Americans that hate him wont use $20 bills.They unintenionally pay him a compliment because he hated paper money more than they could ever hate him. Only Gold and Silver can be LEGAL TENDER under the US Constitution.

C'mon rebels yell FOR ALL America

[Gwyddyon]

Committing genocide automatically disqualifies someone from being America's best president - sorry.  Jackson was a douche. An effective douche, but still a douche.

[PENS68]

Im 19 and this song is pretty good cant say anything bad about it

[zener39]

Thanks for sharing.

[teoog]

[MrMatto91]

[cosmic088]

I would love to run the damn imperialists out of this country.

[gv1955]

[cosmic088]

What are you talking about? Obama's just a house negro.

[gv1955]

Cosmic088 as Brit i need some explination with the comment "house niga".

I asume its an a expletive.

[cosmic088]

He's just a slave to the bankers and big business. No change.

[GeekyGangster13]

we just listend to this song today and idk why but i love it

[medicdance]

One thing I noted about this song is the sound effect of the cannon! You can still hear that exact sound effect used in films and television.

[real934]

Kill the Brits

[foxhuntercody169]

it just goes to show that the britsh have mitfits but we sent all of ares back to britan

[theflyingmouse]

He still looks as bent as a 9 bob note in that hat.

[theflyingmouse]

That's a very pretty hat he's wearing.

Wonder if Vietnam will ever have a song like this.

[GerbsCooper]

ok people first of all....the wars over...duh..are you all as dumb as you sound?

be mature for once in your godforsaken lives

the fukin war is OVER! it doesnt matter anymore. good god

[markev123]

Fuck the Brits

[madmanninc]

Mate we'd of won if we weren't fighting the French, the Spanish, The Indians, The belgians and the Dutch. We beet all them! how many Nations did the yankees beet?

[willygreen35]

Yours!

[1984kid1]

Britain u fucks ,ur all r european u dumb ass yanks !

[madmanninc]

That's true,all Americans aredecended from Europeans, even the Natives actualy moved from Russia via a the Ice Age.

[BadCamera32]

The whole video looks like a photo negative..was it supposed to look like this?

[FriendlyGrizzly]

Very early television (from Johnny Horton's time) often had low contrast. Second, videotape was dreadful in that era, and before that, TV was recorded on "Kinescopes", literally, filming the images on a cathode ray tube. In short, crude, low contrast, but still a recording. You are seeing either a kinescope or an early videotape.

[LordWellington15]

AHHH the British best empire the world had ever seen.GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

[AmelieMermaid]

I hope that's a joke.

[rsensorat3]

It wasn't a joke. But those jokers really believe that crap.

BTW this is a great 'light hearted' video of the English getting their butts whipped. Great entertainment!

[madmanninc]

...and God save Charlie.May he live as long as his mum.

[dezzy0]

i had no clue there was a video to this song WOW

[ibotah]

woot nice vid dude ty i love this song=D

[lwhouse3]

Think this was taken from Johnny Horton's appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Music video ahead of it's time.

[bendobrin]

how cool is this? Johnny Horton had a lot of really solid hits back when. but this looks like a pschelic video from yrs. later. just wondering who put this ahead-of-its-time vid together. just awesome.

[SxiRHCheer2]

what the fuck

[zzman305]

okay, i gotta ask, how the fuck did this become an argument about WWII!

[hardcorechamp1]

lol the aligator lost his mind boooooooooom

[CCRay1716]

My Scocial Studies teacher has us listen to this for studying and know were all singing this from day to day :D

[wafflehouse45]

[cutrism77]

[tubesuperfreak]

THe Aligator pwnz all!

[cowboyhatguy]

[JCLeSinge]

Being English, I really shouldn't like this song. But its great.

[dancemastersofbellyd]

God I loved this song!

[lazybbones]

I don't know how you did this!! Thanks for posting! Pure delight! You don't by any chance have Johnny's Wolverton Mountain-?

Thanks.

[m16a1rifle]

Love this song! johnny horton rules!! garth brooks sucks!!!!

[hothamandfauri]

yo what year was this video made?

[gillhill92]

Whos laughing now Africa oops sorry amafrica

[southparkfan1987]

omg i remember singing this when i was 6 years old when i was farming with my grampa

[madkatt333]

That is awsome. My dad would sing it with me while cleaning the house and cooking. =)

[holver95]

Best osng ever!

[bbnut]

Man, forgot this song. Remembered the whole bit about firing an alligator when I heard it.

Also, kind of a gag kid sing along song. I wouldn't get all fired up politically about it.

[rugers2]

This if for kirky29, You must be joking. To type something like that when we save England and Europe from German victory. Only the politicians prevent America from achieving victory. With our weapons and warriors, we could defeat the entire world if we wanted to.

[tubesuperfreak]

Back then, or now? Because back then er...? I think not, now, probably not.

[ScouserLegend]

rugers2 you are the biggest fucked up red neck i ever seen, Britain and Russia were all ready invading germany by the time america joined and all you did was nuke asia killing loads of innocents, you've lost nearly ever war you've been in sine the civil

[nabun]

And the British didn't kill innocents? Look up the Bombing of Dresden, moron.

[ScouserLegend]

lol you can't compare Dresden to Hiroshima moron

[itzcrantzb1tches]

Oh, wow, are you really turning a blind eye to Britain's transgressions? Neither country is perfect. Anyway, most historians agree that if America had not entered WWII the British would have been defeated by Germany. That doesn't mean the war would have been lost. Russia would probably have been our Savior from Hitler.

[Psychofreak11289]

cool

[littlejew2]

i remember my parents playing in the car every where we went

:P i do kinda like it....

[hbkjames]

One of the best songs ever

[samanthacarter27]

What does COPTER stand for?

[LoverOfYeshua]

This song is a friggin' toe-tapper indeed!

[tommipastrami]

My history teacher told my class how when he lived in England he played this song in his backyard and after that all his neighbors glared at him. . .

[1livingdeadgrl]

too fricking funny !

[kingcollin6]

cheasey ass video

[fringlishman]

yeah, where is the bling and the fast cars and the half naked women. right?

[kokosop]

Somehow, people have lost the concept of class, eh?

[tubesuperfreak]

Indeed. People can be idiotic.

[REDREDWINE35]

This one is with much BETTER audio. 10 stars.

[Melikehearingboom]

poor gator

[highlandergeneral]

ROFL COPTER

[pokemonallstar98]

WOW. That alligator got PWNED.

[fottylongbow]

best song ever johnny horton rocks

johnny horton for life

[supercoolfresh]

dont know why but it makes me happy X )

[WilyMachine]

Hmm...What the hell do these racist comments have to do with this stellar song?! It mentions the British NOT the Blacks. And either way...those are terrible things to say! I voted for Mccain, but you won't hear me saying anything like that....What garbage, I agree with Flybreath!

[polounge]

love the cannon part!

[roymaster45]

the first time i heard this was in social studies, and when we got to that part, the kid behind me said, "That's disturbing..." XD

[clintonlies]

ac/dc used this idea in those about to rock.

horton was genius.

[Victory1981]

UH, what does your comment have to do with this video??

[brasil2520]

To Victory1981: My comment was more about the actual Battle, whites killing whites and then looking at New Orleans today. Like the 1945 war, again whites killing whites and we (as a race) basically handed the world over to blacks and Hispanics, do you think America would have a black President before 1945? do you think black on white crime was this high before 1945? GOOGLE black on white crime or FBI statics on black rapes on white women, this never would have happened if WE would have won WWII.

[usmc721]

What are you talking about?

[brasil2520]

To Jobobreal: Like I wrote before, "whites killing whites", we basically as a race become weak, like this disaster yesterday in America (04-11-08) I wrote a weak ago that, that animal was going to win the election. Two reasons why he won 1- 96% of blacks voted for there own, 2- thanks to the end of segregation in 1964, the POLITICAL CORRECT INDOCTRINATION started in Government Schools AKA Public Schools, so white girls started dating blacks, like Obama's mother, 17 at the time and pregnant.

[ATALITC]

this song is cool! lol i also just found out you can hear the weird dude say what u said!! Lol

[inogi339]

I've liked Johnny Horton for a long time now.

He sounded very mature in 'The mansion you stole'.

[cwood4ever]

Andrew Jackson was a very controverial president. He sure hated big government.

[Victory1981]

He was the only president ever to pay of the national debt.

[mechwarriornut]

you know, i'd just like to know one thing. why is it that everytime i find an old military song. some dumbshit has to go and ruin it with a bunch of hate, racists, or political crap? can't people just enjoy a song and not stir up a shit pot? come on everyone!!! leave that crap for the chat rooms.

[Lehi007]

I love this song. Thanks for posting. Amazing quality for a 1959 (?) recording. Too bad singer died so young.

[clinteastwoodcowb0y]

Cool song. America rocks!

[SasuSaku1111]

i heard it in music class..3-4 times. He asked us SUCH hard questions on it.

[unreadstevo147]

Is this song ment to be a joke?

[TAXtheAtheist]

unreadstevo147, no this is not a joke. It was a real song, fitting for its era. If you would know your history. The public schools have done you a huge discredit. If you see your history teachers, slap them across the face for me...Thanks!

[unreadstevo147]

Sorry i didnt know

[TAXtheAtheist]

Have not heard this song since 1982...

Oddly, it will be appropriate in 2009, after 'that savage' is elected.

[HazeGreyAndUnderway]

Oh? And who is 'that savage'? C'mon, the least you can do is acknowledge that Obama is a human being, just like you and I. ATHIESTS deserve to be called savages ;).

[hyperburrito]

how will it be appropriate, and who are who calling a savage you old bastard!

[Pretenders911]

"Well, we fired our cannon til the barrel melted down,

so we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.

We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind,

and when they tetched the powder off, the gator lost his mind."

My favorite, personally...

[highschooldropoutz]

lol i love this song my texas history played this song today we all love "well we fired our guns and the brithsh kept on comeing there wasn't as many as their was a while ago we fired once more and they began to run'n down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico" what can i say i love it!

[lokomotiva371]

Pekny. Kdo to u nas zpiva. Ahoj Dana

[Quionic7]

good song, but when this battle took place the war was over, but these guys didnt kno it

[ramespi]

this guy that u guys are talking about was in my family tree (really im not lieing)

[mionegranger]

my teacher played this for us in american history about a month ago ..its an awesum song

[baston100]

hard to beleive he got killed in a car wreck only 35 years old

[Twilight01Fan]

ha we have to sing this in our veterans program thats coming up and it makes everyone laugh lol i like it

[pieman97405]

This is a great song! It exspeses my love and patriatism better then any other song I have herd! "...fired once more and they began arunnin..." We beat them twice! Long live and god bless America!

When did ol' Johnny leave us?

[mitsubishi109]

Dont forget the British are now Americas best friend and strongest allie.

[Cloudburst]

Yeah, and Johnny wrote a song about the British sinking the Bismarck.

[AmmoCannal]

This song makes me feel more proud to be an American than a lot of other patriotic songs.

[Getoofmycloud]

Ya for sure our two great countries go back along while,still good to be friends with the great USofA.we usually stand together as we are doing now on two battle fields,great toon as well.(High-Fives guys)

[abbyroadme]

My teacher played this for my class when I was in high school back in 1997. Now, I have the song on my ipod.

[77ali77]

XXX XxX xXx anyone want to chat visit my page xxx XXX XxX xXx k

[TiChiKat]

this song means a lot to me and brings strong emotions to the surface. I remember listening to it my whole life. I lived a couple of miles from where the battle of New Orleans occurred. an incredible place to visit . . .

[roymaster45]

I LOVE EARWORMS LIKE THIS!

An earworm is a song you hear once and can't get out of your head for a long time.

[Tazer2death]

Ill be hearing it next week probably, when we reach the war of 1812.

[hoppy085]

this shit is the bomb!

[gangerollo]

Is there no live videos with Johnny Horton? Instead of this 'opera' stage. Don't get me wrong as I love to see Johnny alive BUT it must be sumptin' real live with him...or?

[Denetsu]

Lol...my history teacher plays this song in class sometimes. It always makes me laugh from 1:21 to 1:32 just because of how he sings it. xD But the song is so good for remembering stuff about the "Bloody Battle of New Orleans" for tests. xD

[karatechick24]

LOL he played it in my class today too xD

[Howdiddlydoo]

yeah, same here. that's weird...

[aguy38]

Really my teacher played it too....

[ElPresidente101]

my teacher also... Stagg HS?

[Denetsu]

East Valley HS for me...

[Spammer91190]

I love this song

[BestManMe09]

My own version of some of this song:

In 1890 we took a little trip

Along with Chief Hennesy down the Mighty Mississip

We had some lasagna and spaghetti-sauced beans

And we fought the rotten Mafia in the town of New Orleans

We made some arrests but the mob kept coming

There was a lot more than there was a while ago

We made even more arrests but they kept coming

From the Straights of Messina to the Gulf of Mexico

(Based on NO Chief Hennesy's fight of/and murder by the Mafia in 1890).

[cdjames10]

It's called "Scurvy". It was deadly if it went untreated.

[1984kid1]

fair play america ! but....british blood ,born and bread !!

[faithgrace777]

I have always loved this song. My dad and I sing this all the time. Talk about great times. When country was still country.

[Ragger10]

Johnny Horton's voice is really great!

[pwn3ronetwothree]

awesome

[staderj]

I first heard this at 7 on a 45 lol still good jimmy dean

[oakhill49]

thx for the history lesson... uuuhhh just about everyone here. nice touch bluedeath (4 days ago, read it)

[roymaster45]

It's not Jimmie Driftwood, it's Johnny Horton. Good song, though.

[meggy359]

lovee this song lol.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

lol weres your song about the battle of washington then lol, or sould i say the burning of washington :o)

[chengloki]

But we won! Let's talk about the dastardly habit of impressement of seaman. Let's face it, the US has a lot to be ashamed of. But so has "Old Blighty". As for the burning of Washington, are you really proud of burning people out of their homes? Can you look a person in the eye and say that??=Stefan=

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

as far as i know, wasnt it the public buildings that were burnt down, you souldnt of tried to invade canada,as for burning , what about genral sherman and atlanta,he burnt the whole city down,ps you didnt win, it was seen as a stalemate that particular conflict, if we hadnt of been fighting the napoleonic war ,we would of sent wellimgton and the full army over there and teach you lesson we sould of taught you in 1776 lol

[chengloki]

Might, Uuuhh, General Sherman was a leader in the American Civil War. Not the war of 1812. Wellington took part in the Revolutionary War.I really think that you Should try readding. You know, put words together so that they make sense? Give it a try!!!Well, maybe later. When you have time. =Stefan=

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

derrrrr i know sherman was in the civil war, i was referring to how he burnt down a whole city as a punishment to the south

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

wellington was born around 1869 so wouldnt of even been ten at the time of the american war of independence,so matety try reading yourself,when youve got time

[chengloki]

We didn't win?? We fly the stars and stripes, not the union jack. By the way, I'm waitting for you to teach us that lesson. Come on boy!!Do you even know what part of a weapon to point at the enemy??=Stefan=

[thejedas]

americans, ever ignorant. you no independance day? u might just know it as lots of fire works and ur horrid american beer, but it actually means something, he day america was liberated of britain and thus created their own flag, west indies are also an english colony, along with australia and parts of south africa, none of them fly the union jack as their full flag, australia only include it because we are still a part of the commonwelth

[chengloki]

thejedas, make your next comment before you have a drink! Do it sober, and maybe, we will underatnd you. =Stefan=

hey i
