    I think a lot of folk here aren't getting the idea of 2weeks2 make it. It's a competition to make a music video in 2 weeks on no budget. So just ripping off someone else's copyrighted work probably wouldn't go down too well ;-)

    I love the John Tamms version so came here expecting to hate this...I didn't. It is fantastic and absolutely no need to compare the two versions. both are amazing.

    The tune is a children's lullaby, that later became a recruiter's ditty. The two men fighting are mercenary officers. The fellow with the fancy hilt is an Italian officer who insulted the fellow with the plain hilt, a Spaniard, calling him a coward under a fire. They met to settle the matter. Both were in the Netherlands, so one was from over the Pyrenees, the other from over Alps....That's my story and I'm sticking with it. :)

    When you think about it, it's unfathomable in today's world to think that from 1750-1815 Britain was in a constant state of international war against France and her allies. When the seven years war ended, they had 12 years of peace and then thanks to us yanks they fought us for 8 years which then brought their old enemy France into the war and Spain and the Dutch. They ended on a truce and then 6 years later they were fighting in the French revolutionary war and the napoleonic wars for the next 20 years.

    I am an American of Scots-Irish descent trying to learn about the Napoleanic wars and how my ancestors were involved. I just discovered this song. Wonderful. Maybe my ancestors sang it.

    ok so the way i see it, this is a modernized and refined version of the John Tams version, which makes it really damn good
