At then end of May I wrote:
Who wants to rewrite and perform a new and timely version of:
Who is going to replace Andrew Jackson and Jean Lafitte?
Well, I got some replies from viewers. Here they are, sometimes just lyrics, sometimes with music, not always exactly what I asked for, but, hey, artistic freedom at work:

1) From Lyndon Hood:
Battle of New Orleans lyrics:
I just did my own one (remixable!) of the Horton version.http://werewolf.co.nz/2010/06/from-the-hood-the-battle-of-no-oil/
Anyway, I hope, for my intestines' sake, that this is sufficient.

and much like BP, I'm keen to use the internet to find people who think they can do a better job: Audacity files (.zip, 2.8MB)
Lyndon also linked this, from dailykos, which has some neat lyrics by John Petterson at:

And Lyndon linked a passing reference from Mark Steyn:

"I fired off a speech/But the British kept a-spillin'/Twice as many barrels as there was a month ago/I fired off a speech/But the British kept a-spillin'/Up the Mississippi from the Gulf of Mexico .. ."
This is from Lyndon's above "Werewolf" link:
From "Lightning Sideburns"
