You can find "A Jolly Beat" on the Eurovision Song Contest.

You're right about Waterloo, Charley. One of the things that really demoralised Napoleon's troops was that, when they overran one square there were only two men left standing, all the others were killed or wounded and the two men left were still in position and firing.

Napoleons guys had never met discipline like that before and realised that they couldn't win without killing every one of the enemy.
