I think this is also a brilliant parody of Johnny Horton's Battle of New Orleans:

"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..."

[DuncanWaring]

I was wondering how many of the people who read that will recognize it.
