I gotta agree I'm one of those assholes that always leaves a comment about him needing to not talk so much. But it doesn't really bother me all that much simply because he has such a wide range of stuff. He does make videos that are 3 times longer than any other music reaction channel videos are. And most of them are nothing more than his psychotic laughter and telling us he loves us. I can handle both of those.
I grew up on Johnny Horton’s music. Most of his songs were about events in history. Some great songs by Johnny: “North To Alaska”, “Sink The Bismarck”, “Comanche”, and “All for the Love of a Girl”. My grandfather looked so much like Johnny. Keep up the great reactions!
Jimmy Driftwood wrote this and he was from my hometown. He wrote this for his students in Timbo, Arkansas to remember the Battle of New Orleans ❤ Great people
The Battle of New Orleans is supposed to have lasted 30 minutes. Jackson told his men not to fire until they could see "the whites of their eyes" and they were hidden in the woods "guerrilla"-style. The Brits came marching in in formation wearing those bright red coats thinking they would roll right over a bunch of farmers with squirrel guns. They found out pretty quick who they were dealing with. The Americans had help from the pirate Jean Lafitte and his crew, but the song doesn't mention that. Great reaction!
Not quite sure why this appeared on my feed, but there you were. And I'm so glad!! I'm old enough to remember the wonderful Johnny Horton, and I loved all his music, and was heartbroken, when he died wayy too soon! He was a great talent! I agree totally with your views on war! The first one I can really remember was the Vietnam War. And as someone who graduated from high school in the midst of that war, it made a huge impact. Growing up in the 1950s all you heard about was WW2, and how justified it was. And how we Americans went in and saw to it that "the good guys" came out on top! Though it was more recent, ended when I was two, I believe, no one talked too much about the Korean War. But as a kid, I always assumed we won that one, too. But as I got older, I realized that wasn't really the case. All Vietnam really accomplished, sadly, was to kill a lot of the young men, of my generation! And many who didn't die came back irrevocably changed! So yeah, I'm with you when it comes to war. But I still always loved this song!! You have a new subscriber in me!
Love you guys! I gotta tellu a story about Johnny Horton. He sang "North to Alaska" and some drunk guy played it 12 times in a row and we got in a bar fight over turning it off! lmao
This was the last battle of the war of 1812. As someone already mentioned, because of the slowness of communication during that era, it was fought after the war had ended. It can be thought of as the second American revolution because we were a small, new country at the time and if we had lost the war of 1812 we probably would have come under British rule again. Despite the fact that the battle was fought after the peace treaty had been signed, it was still important. Losing it could have had very negative consequences.
How they won that battle was Jackson was doing volley fire. 4 ranks 1 rank fires, kneels reloads, 2 rank fires, kneels and so on. It was like the British were getting hit by a machine gun. Jackson learned this method by studying Nobunaga overseas, and the British used this method when they had to fight the Zulu in Africa
I have to thank Johnny Horton and Marty Robbins for helping me with an interest in history. My teachers were irritated cause I would be working on homework for another class or taking a short nap
Andrew Jackson also created the Trail of Tears for the Cherokee People. A forced march that started in the Mountains of North Carolina to Oklahoma....One Long Cemetery.
The raspiness in his voice was unique for the time.. Roger Miller also had thst raspiness in songs like "My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died". It's a raspiness, kinda like the singer of Nirvana had.
Honky Tonk Man was his first hit. But nothing hit the charts like his historical songs. This one was number 1 on country charts for 10 weeks and crossed over to the rock charts and stayed number 1 for 6 weeks there. North to Alaska was his last big hit. He had said in early 1960, he was having premonitions of an early death. On I believe, November 5,1960 he got in a car accident on his way to Shreveport Louisiana and died on the way to the hospital. He was only 35 years old. Tragic. Imagine how many great songs he might have had if he'd lived. He was only in the second year of his biggest hits in 60. Through the 50s while he had some hits, he never hit number 1 until 59. Gone too soon.
This was my karaoke out for many years. I always said it was the only song I'd sing. 😂 Bastards put it on the lists the past 20 years. I must not have been the only one. 😂 Love this song, and will always sing it loud!
Today, we have personal computers, the internet, texting, email, cellphones, and many other technologies we take for granted today in the 21st Century, and as a result news travels around the world in a split second. If the world of the early 19 Century had these kinds of communication technologies, the Battle of New Orleans would never have happened. Just imagine Andrew Jackson smashing his laptop computer and throwing his cellphone in a fit of rage at not being able to get revenge on the British for what happened to him during youth! This would make a great skit for Saturday Night Live.
War is the result of division not the cause. Nobody hates war more than the soldiers that fight it. War is hell, but sometimes necessary. Without our troops we would never know peace. Someone always wants power or they want what you have. Our troops sacrifice so you and I don't have to. Without them there would be no freedom.
I KNOW!!!! I grew up with this & Sink the Bismark & they're both so catchy & fun to listen to & sing!!! Fun may be wrong because its about war, but they are fun. Got a story of history at the same time. It's so cool to see you have fun with this ~ Love ya man! Check out Sink the Bismark. Its catchy & fun also!
And God Bless you. Giving honor to those that DO have to fight wars for us. A lot of us don't believe in these wars. Put the dang leaders in a boxing ring. And guess what?Whomever comes out the winner, that's how it should be. Not at the expense of our people ~
Wonderful reaction and commentary! If you wish to revisit Battle of New Orleans, suggest the Dolly Paton cover from her 80's variety show. Biscuits and honey to you.
it is a good catchy tune and I can see why Americans love it. Sadly, its historical accuracy is that of most of hollywood history. "The British went a runnin'" is referring to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders! They do not run. Even the Americans at the battle commented on them with great respect BUT it is a good patriotic song and why let the truth spoil it
THIS TERRIFIC BALLAD DESCRIBES FIGHTING MEN THAT ANY AMERICAN CAN RELATE TO REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, & GENDER. I THINK THAT THIS SONG CAN BE A UNITER IN THE FACE OF THE GROWING TYRANNY AND MADNESS THAT'S BEING FORCED UPON ALL OF US.
Donald pardon can could do an excellent job. The most excellent job singing the phone book. She can sing anything brother she could sing a phone book dinner😊
This is awful and it's doubly awful because I'm a white guy. But it's just me saying the truth. There is that really good movie called 12 Years of Slave. That really good actor that plays Riddler in the new Batman movie with Robert Pattinson. I should know it off the top of my head but I have to look...ah ha! Its Paul Dano, he was in one of the best movies ever made. There Will Be Blood with Daniel Day Lewis the GOD of method acting. Anyway.....in 12 Years a Slave Paul Dano sings a song about N-words trying to run away. The cadence of that is what pops into my head whenever I hear The Battle of New Orleans.
Love your commentary. However, today the Ukrainians are facing similar challenges. Please, please support the Ukraine. If not, it will be US soldiers on the frontline.
Johnny Horton, no one else is reacting to him,you’re awesome . Love the different styles of music you react to . Makes me smile 😊,

Rn2country reacted to many of his songs... I think other people react to johnny horton lol

Johnny has so many songs that are so historically accurate, just wish he would have been my history teacher!!!

Thanks, just so you know, he was right on and made it fun to learn and remember.

My dad had this album and I know all the lyrics! This song is hilarious. Whispering Pines Is my favorite song on the album 😂👵🏼💜☮️
Loved Loved your reaction to the Battle of New Orleans! So fun!
Fun fact . Col jackson was none other than "old hickory " andrew jackson . Most badass president of all time
Andrew Jackson also created the Trail of Tears for the Cherokee People.
A forced march that started in the Mountains of North Carolina to Oklahoma....One Long Cemetery.
A great emotional song by Johnny Horton is called OLD PINE TREE. Really shows his range well
The one secular artist my parents let us listen to (on vinyl). He'll always hold a VERY special place in my musical world
good energy..we are all one in the same. Your openness to so much diverse music inspires me!
Brother, I feel the same way you do. Let's all love each other as human beings. Great content brother. Keep it coming. We all love you brother.
Rickki loved that you liked that song..just a bit of history in a song..keep listening..
The raspiness in his voice was unique for the time.. Roger Miller also had thst raspiness in songs like "My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died".
It's a raspiness, kinda like the singer of Nirvana had.
His music was historical events love it

Grew up with this song, knew all the words. Haven't heard it in years. Thanks! 😊
I knew this song word for word before I even started 1st grade. Songs like this taught us a lot, gave us a headstart on Schoolhouse Rock😉
You are amazing! I love the emotion you have for every genre. Keep doing what you’re doing….uplifting people 🥰
Priceless . And such a trip you are reacting to this .
I'm subbin' just because you're brave enough to react to Johnny Horton!
Col Jackson was Andrew Jackson, aka "Old Hickory." He became president of the United States.
Give me your hands, brother. Let's pray strong and believe in peace!
You crack me up dude your reaction is so funny and infectious I'm laughing my ass off man.
My dad has this on record! I grew up singing this song in the 80s
This was my karaoke out for many years. I always said it was the only song I'd sing. 😂 Bastards put it on the lists the past 20 years. I must not have been the only one. 😂 Love this song, and will always sing it loud!
The melody is an old fiddle tune called 8th of January.

A great choice. He should be a lot more famous
johnny horton another young musician that had a very short career,,another song you may enjoy is north to alaska...
Good way to learn history and dates
I always liked his song battle of bull run. Or Ruben James even more
The actual Battle of New Orleans took place two weeks after the war had ended

Song written by the Legendary Jimmy Driftwood
North to Alaska and Sink the Bismarck are a must ❤
Wish he’d been my history teacher
Wonderful reaction and commentary!
If you wish to revisit Battle of New Orleans, suggest the Dolly Paton cover from her 80's variety show.
Biscuits and honey to you.
I hope the other one is “Bismarck”
it is!! lol and north to alaska is the 3rd
those were the days when we liked each other, and didn't argue about politics and religion all the time, and had fun.
Used to babysit his kids❤ 😊
My dad tought me this song
it is a good catchy tune and I can see why Americans love it.
Sadly, its historical accuracy is that of most of hollywood history.
"The British went a runnin'" is referring to the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders!
They do not run.
Even the Americans at the battle commented on them with great respect BUT
it is a good patriotic song and why let the truth spoil it
You should check out the stop-motion LEGO version!
Big dog I wish I could subscribe again 😂😂 you are to great
You are great!
Check out Johnny Horton Comanchee the brave Horse. True Story. ❤❤
Hey Rick you need to check out a Johnny Cash song called Ragged old Flag and a Randy Travis song called Three wooden crosses
Fallout: War, it never changes!
It’s Nawlins.
Is there such a thing as a squirrel gun or is it just a lyric that fits in the song?
@5:36 did he just salute the enemy?
Don't mess with the South.
There is a battle today for New Orleans. Our cities are suffering under poor leadership.
THIS TERRIFIC BALLAD DESCRIBES FIGHTING MEN THAT ANY AMERICAN CAN RELATE TO REGARDLESS OF RACE, CREED, & GENDER. I THINK THAT THIS SONG CAN BE A UNITER IN THE FACE OF THE GROWING TYRANNY AND MADNESS THAT'S BEING FORCED UPON ALL OF US.
Donald pardon can could do an excellent job. The most excellent job singing the phone book. She can sing anything brother she could sing a phone book dinner😊
love this song and all of Jonnys songs so catchy. Just a shame the British and the natives didn’t succeed 😢
This is awful and it's doubly awful because I'm a white guy. But it's just me saying the truth.
There is that really good movie called 12 Years of Slave. That really good actor that plays Riddler in the new Batman movie with Robert Pattinson.
