Johnny Horton was a history teacher that wanted to use music to help students learn. You said this helps you learn when history is done to music so mission accomplished then. Johnny Horton also sang North to Alaska, which I think is a bit better song, but this is good too
Sorry the guy that wrote the song was a teacher not Johnny Horton he was known as the singing fisherman
Wrong. The history teacher who wrote it was named Jimmie Driftwood. And this song has been covered many times.
Yes you are correct. I've been told it was written to get kids interested in history and I guess I wrongly assumed it was wrote by Horton, not to mention I believe someone said as much to me. I guess one reason I thought this is he wrote North to Alaska so it was easy to think he wrote this historical song as well. I apologize for conveying incorrect information
Wrong he was not the guy who wrote the song is who your thinking of his name is Jimmy Driftwood!
@@johnnyhawkins43 why do you keep bringing this up? I see you had a comment 6 months ago which I already told you that you were right. I also apologized for giving bad info, that I was told by a country music dj on air by the way. Are you going to pop up every few months to tell me I was wrong? I would think you would probably have better things to do with your time lol. Is Jimmie Driftwood a relative and I highly offended your family? If this is the case, once again I'm sorry
The craziest thing about the battle of New Orleans is that it was fought *after* the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which formally ended the War of 1812. Of course, nobody knew that because the news of the treaty signing had not yet reached the US.
I grew up listening to Johnny Horton's music. Sink the Bismarck, North to Alaska, Running Bear, Comanche...all are good songs about history.
Yes I love Johnny Horton hearing this got me into a mood i have to hear all of them again now lol so everyone start requesting lol
I love Running Bear! That was Johnny Horton?!?
@@skyepuppy7763 no wrong artist.
@@larryzach7880 Thanks! I looked it up: Johnny Preston, 1959.
Also the battle made Andrew Jackson a national hero. Eventually it led to him winning the presidency in 1829.
Comanche the Brave Horse, Jim Bridger, North to Alaska, Springtime in Alaska, Sink the Bismark - all great Johnny Horton songs. As a military man, you may enjoy Sink the Bismark and Comanche
I second this billy!!
Third!
Whispering pines is a great one it was my grandfather's favorite
Comanche was Custers horse at the Little Big Horn.
"I'm Ready If Your Willing", "Johnny Reb", and "All For The Love Of A Girl" are 3 more great Johnny Horton Songs as well.
BTW this battle was fought AFTER the END of the War of 1812 - The treaty was signed in Paris, but took a while to get to the troops fighting in New Orleans.
He was a history teacher. Wanted his students to learn in a different way. Genius.
North To Alaska
Sink The Bismarck
two more of Johnnys hits
Sink the Bismark was amazing
Johnny Reb was good
Johnny Horton died in November 1960 at the peak of his fame in a traffic collision less then two years after his breakthrough he was 35 years old and is a member of the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame
I love Johnny Horton, Alari's cow about the fire in Chicago.
I was born in 1958 and this song was really popular even in the 60s on the radio. Everybody loved it. Johnny Horton also did North to Alaska which was also extremely popular and a really fun song.
We children had great fun singing the alligator part...Great memory...
Jonny Horton and Marty Robins started my interest in history. By the end of 3rd grade I had read everything the seniors had.
Johnny Horton WAS a history teacher! He knew the kids would learn songs.
Anybody else giggle when he asked what other songs he sung because he sounded really familiar?
Holy $#!+ this was my Daddy's favorite song! I remember standing up beside him driving down the road listening to this! I can't believe this I've been trying to remember the name of this song forever!! My Dad died 18 yrs ago on the 21st of this month and this song is what I needed!! Thank you so much!! #OklahomaLove
You surprised me with Johnny Horton. "North to Alaska" is one of my favourites by him. I like History lessons like that.
My uncle
The man was a genius and way ahead of his time in his approach to history.
I like Johnny rebel personally
This is one of the many songs my step-mom had in her arsenal of bedtime 'lullabies'.
I thank that woman so much for introducing me to so many story songs!
Johnny Horton reminds me of my grandpa he had a ton of Johnny Horton records (vinyl records). He did a lot of good music North to Alaska, Sink the Bismark, Young Abe Lincoln, Jim Bridger... I could go on, but it's nice to see you go back to the old school country music.
My AP US history teacher actually used this song to teach us in class 🤣🤦🏼♀️
Horton was a country school teacher. He wrote these songs to teach history.
Relating is so crazy for learning. I used Johnny Horton's Sink the Bismark, showed pictures of the ships, and used WWI and WW2 to bring learning alive for my students. You should listen to The Ballad of the Green Barrett
"Ballad of the Green Berets" is Barry Sadler, but your point holds.
Yes, love Johnny Horton ❤️
An interesting note is the Battle of New Orleans was actually fought AFTER the War of 1812 had ended. The US and Great Britain had already signed the treaty but by the time it was brought back to the states the battle was on!
You should listen to "Sink the Bismarck" another great historical song by Johnny Horton.
I'll strongly second Johnny Horton's "Sink the Bismarck"
Thirded here
Fourth.
Ill 5th it (how do you spell out 5th? Fith?)
@@jamesmyles4540 fifth
Very sad that Johnny Horton died so young and did not live to become a much bigger
success. He was only 35 when he died in a car crash.
Johnny Horton was a musical storyteller. Did lots of these type songs.
I absolutely love Johnny Horton!!! Can't wait to see this.
Two songs that Johnny Horton did for the Civil War were: 1) Johnny Reb & 2) Battle of Bull Run. And one from World War II was Sink the Bismarck.
I remember being in 5th grade when the teacher put on this song, I started singing along and then I realized I was the only one who knew the song. I was embarrassed for about 10 seconds and then I belted it!!!
My dad was a history teacher for over 44 years and my sister for 27 in a school and now does online. I DEFINITELY knew this story! 😂
Haven't heard this since I was a kid. It used to make me laugh everytime they powdered the gators behind.
This was my gang's drinking song. After the third round we really got into it.
Whispering Pines has always been my favorite.
My mother LOVED this record and played it all the time when I was little.
Johnny Horton also sang "North to Alaska" and "Sink the Bismarck" The Battle of New Orleans was my dad's favorite song. We even played it at his funeral.
My favorite Johnny Horton song is “Whispering Pines” and “I’m Ready, if You’re Willing.”
All of Johnny Horton songs oh so amazing I definitely suggest you listening to more of his music
All of them?..
Johnny Horton sings "Sink the Bismark" also. really good song.
I grew up listening to this music. My son's History book referenced this song. He's eight and currently loves Johnny Horton now. It helps him remember his history facts so I'm happy with it.
Johnny Horton was the original singer of " Honky Tonk Man ".
One of my favorite Johnny Horton is 'Jim Bridger,' which is named after a great American frontiersman. It's very well-written and has an awesome 12-string guitar accompaniment.
My god. I haven't heard this song in 15 years. My 5th teacher played this during history. Crazy thing is listening to it again, I still remember some of the words
So being from Louisiana, my history teachers in school always played this when we got to the the battle of 1814. And I can't even say the battle of 1814, without thinking "1814, we took a little trip, down the mighty Missip" :D
My dad loved the part about the alligator. He taught me this song when I was a little kid.
LEGIT GREW UP listening to this song. My dad always plays Johnny Horton when he drove (and sometimes some tapes/cds of other classic country hits).
I love this song! I may have even put on her for you to play. I am a current foster parent and I enjoyed this song and my girls know it every word a 5 and 9 year old.
I've been thinking about suggesting this song the last couple of days,I'm glad to see your doing it,this song is great,one of my favorites as a kid.
People always remember things when they’re presented in music or perhaps poetry. For example, that’s why they teach kids to “sing” the ABCs instead of saying them. Even as adults, most people can sing them easier than reciting.
I grew up listening to Johnny Horton.
My mom had this album, and remember the song from an early age. In the late 80s when I was in high school for speech class we had to do a speech talking about themes and whatnot in a song. I use this song for my speech, well most of my classmates were used current at the time heavy metal.
I'm only 45 but this is the music I listened to growing up. I will admit this song helped me on a test at least once in school. And when I went to college one of my professors actually mentioned this song in class (can't remember if he played a little of it or not). I was the only one who knew what he was talking about. Lol.
I JUST watched this very version. We were at a drive-through, and the total came to 18.12 - my wife and I started singing and drew blanks oh some of the lyrics. Boy, were we off.
A song that I've recently found that is really good is "Forever Country". It came out in 2016 and its sung by many country artists both old and new under the collective name Artists Of Then, Now, and Forever. It's an amazing song to check out!
Grew up listening to this and a whole lot of other "history lessons".
I love Johnny Horton, my favorite of his songs is ‘Sink the Bismarck’.
Always thought this song belongs to the Les Humphrey singers, how wrong I was, they covered it, thx for this eyeopener
Oh god. I had to listen to this so much growing up. My dad loves this guy. Who requested this !?
@LIKE WOA U CAN'T CANCEL ME I can’t see the number 1814 without singing this. And on a family trip a couple years ago guess what was our hotel # was. Ugh
You may have heard singing,I am a Honky tonk man.
We only had about 55 killed to over 2000 casualties for the Brittish. We stayed behind the ramparts and they marched in the open.
Johnny Horton was a high school history teacher and he wrote his songs to teach his students. But I believe it was in the 1930s or 40s before my time, 😆
Shoot, this was my Grandmothers favorite song. This just gave me flashbacks
My father is a huge fan of Johnny Horton! I grew up with these songs so it's neat to see you react to him. I recommend his other songs "Sink the Bismark" and "North to Alaska"!
Love ALL his historical songs. Esp. "North To Alaska" which was made into a John Wayne movie.
Love this song. My dad used to sing it to me. A great way to learn history.
You'll love Johnny Horton. His songs are like a musical history lesson.
It is actually natural to remember things better in a song or rhyme than trying to remember information outright because your brain it's your brain actually actually interprets it's songs and rhymes at it's as incomplete information this information and therefore Constantly goes over the information which is how songs get stuck in your mind and any information that song had
Shtupid..................but verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting........................
I have heard this song before, but it’s been a while.
I never remembered history when I was in school.. didn’t really care about what general did whatever. Music is a great way to learn.
First I love the shirt Billy. Second Johnny Horton - Comanche
The tune is actually a much older song from the 1800s, called Captain Jinks. Johnny Horton made an whole album of historical songs, called Johnny Horton Makes History. Not a bad song on it..Young Abe Lincoln and Comanche are two of my faves. Side note, my mom used to wake me up singing Battle of New Orleans when I was in kindergarten..
He has a live version he did for the British people while performing there! Other songs of that I love are: “Sink the Bismarck, North to Alaska, Johnny Reb, Comanche (The Brave Horse), When It’s Spring Time In Alaska (It’s Forty Below), Honky-Tonk Man” and there are so many more! My dad told me that when I was really young my favorite part of “The Battle of New Orleans” was the part about the Gator! I don’t know why but I was probably three or four years old at the time!
Battle of Bull Run is a banger
North to Alaska and sink the Bismarck are the two most famous after this song. Very popular in the 50’s.
For real? Which scene was this?
@@eliashuapilla going into the diner when he got to the ‘50’s
I lied. I just looked it up. It was Davy Crockett. I’m sorry. 😞 My bad.
@@shilothompson1509 lol it happens. I was thinking if I missed it or not.
Our squad used this as a cadence.
As kids we loved this song. He has a few about historic events. My favorite happened to be "Sink the Bismarck " and "North to Alaska ".
This is the shortened version. Listen to Jimmy Driftwoods version - its complete and he wrote it because he actually taught history and would use music to teach his kids.
As someone from Chalmette hearing you try to pronounce it was hilarious😂❤
I’m born and raised in Chalmette and still here
Just for a little context, Andrew Jackson had to hastily recruit militiamen before this battle, he was able to scrounge up just over 5,000 patriots.
The Brits had around 10,000 professional soldiers.
They lost over 2,000 men by the end of the battle.
We lost 71.
In the history class I took when I was in high school we could earn extra credit by singing this song by ourselves or in a group in front of the class.
The British always lined up in lines to fight. The Americans by that time had learned to used ambush tactics that they learned from the Native Americans.
very familiar with this one, it was one of the cadence we had in basic training.
Thoroughly enjoyed this reaction. Some other great Johnny Horton songs include Sink the Bismarck, North to Alaska, and Comanche (the brave horse). Thank you.
This song alone taught you the entire story of the Battle of New Orleans
I grew up hearing this song. My mom had her favourite records. Johnny Horton's Greatest Hits was one of them. You should also hear Rawhide from Frankie Lane, or anything from Bobby Vinton.
Love Johnny Horton! Just play anything he sang. He has a heartbreak ballad‘Whispering Pines’ that is awesome!
Im 65, but my Dad use to sing this song with a guitar and a dose of comedy......great memories Dad ❤️ RIP
If you like songs that tell stories I would suggest One Tin Soldier sung by Jinx Dawson and Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphey.
Wow. Memories. Thank you bro.
You should react to Sink The Bismark by Johnny Horton
Johnny did “Sink the Bismarck”, “North to Alaska” and “All For the Love of a Girl” (my favorite), along with many great songs.
You're right about the education part of this: geography, biology (brambles, briar, bushes) calls for a fieldtrip to the botanical garden, economics ( cotton bales). Easy to sign, too. North to Alaska with John Wayne and Stewart granger
thank you this is my favorite song of his.
You should react to Three Wooden Crosses by Randy Travis, definitely a BYSE song
Some more of his work:
"North to Alaska"
"Sink the Bismark"
"Honky Tonk Man"
Had an old cassette tape I listened to so much it broke when I was little.
Proud New Orleans native. My great granddaddy fought in this war.
This was a classic song my dad would play for us growing up.
Great reaction
Thanks for reacting
Have an amazing weekend
Grew up on Johnny Horton, my dad was a big fan. If you want to learn some WW1 &WW2 history and more war history listen to a Swedish metal band, Sabaton. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!! ANY Live music or videos(BISMARCK!!!!!) you will NOT be DISAPPOINTED!!!!!
This song does have a great historical reference. I personally like the snare drums and drum roll sounds in it. Thank you 🤔❤🇺🇸
battle of New Orleans happened three days after the War of 1812 had ended and the British signed a peace treaty with the brand new USA. Communications weren't that good in those days.
My dad was burned in a fire on his chest and armpit.
So, he picked up the guitar, just to keep his arm extended.
This is a real simple song to play, and it's the first song I remember him playing.
He pretty much sucked at first.
I was 6 when he got burned.
So I remember that he sucked at first.
But he got a lot better over the years!
This is the first song I remember him playing without making a mistake.
Sink the Bismark, North to Alaska. He's a great storyteller
He who forgets History is Doomed to repeat it ! ! !
Just as you say sometimes students have a hard time gettin into history. This song was written by Jimmy Driftwood who was high school teacher and wrote a number of songs about history to make it more interesting to his students.
Johnny taught history with fun songs
Billy lots of great Johnny Horton songs listed here already, so I won't repeat. If you like a little historical context in a song too try Marty Robbins Ballad of the Alamo.
Listen to Johnny Horton's Greatest Hits Album....You won't be disappointed....Whispering Pines is one of my favourites in addition to the classic hits of Battle of New Orleans, North To Alaska, When It's Springtime In Alaska, Sink The Bismark....Johnny was a great teacher of history as well as a great ballad singer.....
