Don't get me wrong, I love the idea! I feel like this “Friday Five” is just an excuse to remind everyone how sweet Johnny Horton’s “Battle of New Orleans” is as a song.

Doug sings and plays his fiddle with such abandon (often bordering on wackiness) that I find his best songs as irresistable as a good bowl of jambalaya or blackened crawdads!

" Actually NBC is the culprit here as they had agreed to air the entire video at halftime and then tried to go back on the agreement. Garth then enforced the terms of their agreement and said no video no Anthem. I don't fault Garth; if you say you're going to do something, do it. “Brooks’ version, sung at Super Bowl XXVII, made a little history itself when he stomped out shortly before the game because NBC refused to air his video for “We Shall Be Free” during the broadcast. ”

The Isaacs do a killer job with it (see, for instance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kSBFLiv9_4 ), and so did 3 Fox Drive. Sorry, Garth.
