Battle of New Orleans - the story of a random hit record
While reading up on the historical battle which is pretty fascinating in itself I naturally came across the random hit of the same name - anyway the story is here http://www.tsimon.com/battle.htm and the lyrics here http://www.bluegrassnet.com/tgbs/B/Battle_of_new_orleans.html
It mentions a time when historical themes were popular in hit songs and sites this one on the Battle of Waterloo - read the lyrics and try to understand what he is talking about
