That was your 60s a la San Fransisco...

Our 60s was about "buying British"

A hit song "Engalund swings like a-Engalund do, Bobbies on bicycles two by two..."

And Union Jack carriers bags...

So I reckon the old lady should be painted (discreetly of course) in the image of our national Union Jack flag...

Just think, it could bring our great nations even closer together!!!

[KillerMuffin]

She's a Frog, you ninny. Frogs are green. Comes from too much wine and frommage.

*sings...*

We fired our guns but the British kept a'comin
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a'runnin
Way down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico...

 

[swtbethie]

The stature of Liberty is not painted, It was originally copper, Copper turns green when left in the elements, thus its current color. Don't believe me stick a penny outside for a week, betcha it will turn green

Duh. We're being facetious. We're all smart enough to know it's copper.

 

[p_p_man]

Ah well, even if we're talking about the French I suppose somebody's going to bring up the Battle of New Orleans...but don't forget we were only carrying out a strategic withdrawal!!



Jimmy Driftwood's Song:
"The Battle of New Orleans"

Jimmy Driftwood put words to music to help students learn about historical events. The song, the "The Battle of New Orleans," is about a battle in the War of 1812. Mr. Driftwood was a high school principal and history teacher. From the time he was a little boy, he loved music. He loved to sing, play instruments and write songs. To help his students learn about this battle, he wrote the song The Battle of New Orleans. It was one of the biggest selling hits in 1959.

Driftwood wrote hundreds of verses to the song. Because records are only two to three minutes long, he picked out his favorite ones to be recorded.

He died on Sunday 12 July 1998 in Timbo, Arkansas.



The Battle of New Orleans
Music and lyrics by Jimmy Driftwood



In 1814 we took a little trip
along with Colonel Jackson
down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and
we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British
in the town of New Orleans.


We fired our guns
and the British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and
they began to runnin' on
down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.


We looked down the river
and we seed the British come.
And there must have been a hundred
of'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and
they made the bugles ring.
We stood by our cotton bales
and didn't say a thing.


We fired our guns and the
British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and
they began to runnin' on
down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.


Old Hickory said
we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets
til we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire til
we seed their faces well.
then we opened up with squirrel guns
And really gave 'em ... well ~~~


We fired our guns and the
British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and
they began to runnin' on
down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.


Yeah, they ran through the briars
and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes
where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds
couldn't catch 'em on
down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.


We fired our cannon til
the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator
and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls
and powdered his behind
and when we touched the powder off,
the gator lost his mind.


We fired our guns and the
British kept a'comin.
There wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and
they began to runnin' on
down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.


Yeah, they ran through the briars
and they ran through the brambles
and they ran through the bushes
where a rabbit couldn't go.
they ran so fast that the hounds
couldn't catch 'em on
down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.
