I will check, though I did look for Napoleonic Wars and nothing came up.
I was hoping for leads on especially nice ones though. Like-- "what's your favorite..." more fun and less tedious.

Yeah well I tried to correct that, but for some reason it didn't take. Do you have to clear the thread and start over? Will someone help? If you know "Boney's Bottom" or would like to take a shot at composing it, I am probably desperate enough for new material to sing it... Though I might move it to the Comical Songs section.

To be more constructive, put 'Napoleon' into the DT search box and around 20 more songs will come up.

"the Napoleonic ars"

Well, I don't personally know "Boney's Bottom" but it clearly must exist.
