WesternOutlaw Posted May 6, 2007 I was searching YouTube for some old classic songs/videos, and stumbled upon this great Lego video of the Battle of New Orleans. The song is sung by Johnny Horton and it's perfect for the Lego battle. Take a look: This is something I would have made if I were talended in the video arena. It's nicely done and a bit funny.

Scouty Posted May 6, 2007 This is an old short I like. It was done by RevMen, the owner of the website: BrickFilms.com I also recommend his 'Great Microbiologists' movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted May 6, 2007 What I like most about this particular video is the combination of the music and the Lego minifigs. I love how the drummers are in sync with the music. The alligator scene is pretty good as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobbes Posted May 9, 2007 That song's been one of my favorites for quite some time. Very funny video :-D The alligator scene is pretty good as well. I loved it! The part with the dragon slayer is genious. The alligator scene and the scenes where they run where a rabbit couldn't go are hilarious :-D :-D :-D Great find *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkaForHire Posted May 10, 2007 Don't get too attached to Johny Horton, he has some really good songs but he also has some songs that no American should be proud of. He was a very racist man. :( It just sends the wrong opinions of Americans when you hear over half of his songs are about killing black people. :( I have liked this tune since I was a kid though... plus animation = awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bruce n h Posted May 11, 2007 Don't get too attached to Johny Horton, he has some really good songs but he also has some songs that no American should be proud of. He was a very racist man. I'm certainly no expert on Johnny Horton (just know this one song), but according to Wikipedia this statement is based on mistaken association of the singer Johnny Horton, of "Battle of New Orleans", with the singer Johnny Rebel, who is, apparently a Klan member/racist/originater of the songs you may be referring to.

It sounds so much like the American, that it's hard to tell them apart- aside from the lyrics. I have to say that I doubt the Americans ran though. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norrington Posted May 15, 2007 Johnny Horton - The Battle Of New Orleans (British Version) Wow. The British have a very high opinion of themselves, considering they LOST that battle. "The fired once more and the rebels began a runnin', all the way down to the gulf of Mexico." Unfortunatley, we didn't, in fact, they did. Plus, That would require running through the british lines to get there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scouty Posted May 15, 2007 It was sung by the same guy. I wonder why he did the other side's view *wacko* ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norrington Posted May 16, 2007 It was sung by the same guy. I was quite aware of that. I wonder why he did the other side's view *wacko* ??? Because, he wanted to be able to sell the song in England, and so he did, and got some money in his pockets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
