  • The Battle of New Orleans est une chanson écrite par et rendue populaire par le chanteur de country américain Johnny Horton dont la version était un gros tube en 1959. Sortie aux États-Unis en single sur le label Columbia Records en avril 1959, la chanson de Johnny Horton a passé six semaines consecutives à la premiere place du Billboard Hot 100. Le 29 novembre 1959, elle a remporté les Grammys de la chanson de l'année et de la meilleure performance country et western. De l'autre côté de l'Atlantique, au Royaume-Uni, la chanson fut promptement reprise par Lonnie Donegan, dont la version a passé deux semaines non consécutives à la 2e place du classement britannique en juillet-août 1959.

Horton's version began with the quoting of the first 12 notes of the song "Dixie," by Daniel Emmett. It ends with the sound of an officer leading a count off in marching, as the song fades out. In Billboard magazine's rankings of the top songs in the first 50 years of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, "The Battle of New Orleans" was ranked as the 28th song overall and the number-one country music song to appear on the chart. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. (en)
