| I don't think he did "Green Berets" I always thought it was a Barry Sadler - or something like that. Found it! YouTube - Barry Sadler Ballad of the Green Berets (BARRYSADLER.YA.ST)

| I never heard the Bismarck song either. I still have the vinyl 45 of NO and the B side is North to Alaska. i think Bismarck would have been better.

| Dang. I love Johnny Horton (and I typically hate most country music!)!!! "Battle of New Orleans" was his most famous, I think....but my second fav was "Bismark". I also loved some of his Civil War stuff, too....tryin to remember titles...."Johnny Reb" bein one, and I recall one about the Battle of Antietem. Man....wish my braincell worked better.... YouTube - The Confederate Soldier ~ song "Johnny Reb" Found the other one: The Battle of Bull Run YouTube - Battle of bull run by johnny horton (AOE3 TAD) BTW, NJ, for the record, that has to be the most AWESOME frikkin video ever! Legos re-enacting the Battle of New Orleans...complete with alligator...!!!!!!

| I thought so too. Did you see when they run away? Hilarious! I'm with you on the country stuff but I do like Horton, Ray Stevens and Burt's sidekick in Smokey... Jerry Reed YouTube - Amos Moses - Jerry Reed

| Love those Johnny Horton songs...  My Dad had 8 track tapes many moons ago and one was Johnny Horton's greatest hits, played it over and over....

| There shoulda been some verses about the Catalina that found her and the Swordfish that jammed the rudder. "Some long legged Cats searched far and wide Through miles of mist and clouds the Bismark's wake was spied we've found the demon ship the radio call went out Churchill smiled and lit a cigar, knowing it would be a rout. The plane they call stringbag was tote'n a mighty load packin a torpedo with Bismarks name on her .. it was wrote in the water the iron fish swum towards the towering mass. The ogre they call Bismark was crippled by just one splash. . . Last edited by comiso90; 07-17-2008 at 03:16 PM. |

| I have a 2 disc set of Johnny Horton. Rocket 88 is another good one, but I agree with you guys, I like his more historically based songs. It's a hard choice for me between Sink the Bismarck and Battle of New Orleans as my favorite one.
