Johnny Horton - Battle Of New Orleans

We are fresh off of President's Day, and this is one of the few country songs that name-checks a President.

Sink the Bismarck, North To Alaska and the Battle of New Orleans were big hits when I was growing up. They still get played on 50s channels.
He didn't even dare say "Hell" in the lyrics. Please compare to Bad Bunny lyrics and note the differences.

Dear Wife has been singing this for most of the month. But the big question is was this the first music video? He sure seems to be just mouthing the words, pantomime-style.
