Talk:The Battle of New Orleans

Disambig
Perhaps this should be renamed "The Battle of New Orleans (Song)" and the disambig page should be turned to the actual battle. I think that more people would be looking for the battle. &mdash;ScouterSig 20:01, 8 January 2007 (UTC) Nevermind, I figured the system out; it makes sense. &mdash;ScouterSig 20:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Parodies
"The Battle of All Saints Road" isn't exactly a 'parody.' —Preceding unsigned comment added by PatrickWB (talk • contribs) 16:22, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "The Battle of Katrina" by Teresa Thornton Davis. Lyrics- http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/davidmarine0.shtml
 * "New Battle of New Orleans" by Chuck Redden http://wesawthat.blogspot.com/2006/03/new-battle-of-new-orleans-chuck-redden.html

"Flower of Scotland" is a lament for the Scots who died at Bannockburn, and a song of hope for the future. It is definitely not a parody of "Battle of New Orleans", and should be removed from this section. FlugelD (talk) 17:39, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

There is an "answer song" from the era of the Horton recording which is done in the POV of the alligator used as a canon in that song. I recall it as a complaint that he was minding his own business and the government wrecked his health and owes him a pension. I'd love to add it to the parody section, but I can't recall the actual name and artist. Does anyone know? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.33.17 (talk) 04:42, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

UK
How did the song do in Britain? Jokem (talk) 07:36, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Read the article. "In Britain, Lonnie Donegan and his Skiffle Group's 1959 version competed with Horton's and achieved greater success, peaking at number two. This version includes a spoken introduction, in which Donegan explains that the British were on the losing side."  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:04, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
