What's your favorite song that references a historical figure in the title or lyrics?
Name one song or more.
I have no control over what gets popular and what doesn't so if this question gets dozens of stars, answers, etc. don't ask me why 'cause I don't have that answer for you and if you dislike the question or can't think of an answer then your back button is located in the upper-left corner of your screen. Thank you.
(This has happened to me enough times to where I feel addressing it is necessary.)
BQ1: Who's your favorite historical figure?
BQ2: Would you ever want to meet that person?
BQ3: What are you listening to right now?
Trolls are gonna troll.
@Twilight sparkle: Dick.
@Twilight sparkle: Lol, fair enough. And I'm not mad at all. Perhaps I should've put a smiley in there to signify that. :P
Okay, why is it that whenever someone posts songs from Iced Earth's Gettysburg (1863) trilogy, they always get thumbed down?! It's happened to me a dozen times too! Honestly, what's so bad about those songs? They're pretty epic if you ask me. :/
Just ignore the TDs, everyone. None coming from me, not even for the illustrious Twilight sparkle's answer. :D
Also, lol @ Brian thumbing his answer up.

Any of the three Gettysburg songs by Iced Earth off of their album "The Glorious Burden"
Gettysburg 1863: The Devil to Pay
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty789V9RFzc
Gettysburg 1863: Hold at all Cost
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNT6aBGmxeY
Gettysburg 1863: High Water Mark
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn2Y7wffDFc
AMAZING trilogy of songs.
Though my favorite is probably part 3, High Water Mark.
BQ1: I honestly cannot decide my very favorite, though I find Civil War quite interesting and have always found James Longstreet's career and view during and post-war to be really interesting, and his various entanglements in both Union and Confederate factions. I also always liked Theodore Roosevelt and all the books on him.
BQ2: Maybe. Theodore Roosevelt for sure.
BQ3: one of the songs I linked for you, High Water Mark.
EDIT: @Carver: Nothings wrong with them!:) They're epic, awesome, and actually informative which is the coolest damn part about it. People are just upset we aren't linking songs they like, which probably consists of A7X or something equally stupid.
