- "Sink the Bismark" (later "Sink the Bismarck") is a march song by American country music singer Johnny Horton and songwriter Tillman Franks, based on the pursuit and eventual sinking of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941, during World War II. Horton released this song through Columbia Records in 1960, when it reached #3 on the charts. As originally released, the record label used the common misspelling "Bismark"; this error was corrected for later releases of the song. It was inspired by the 1960 British war movie Sink the Bismarck! and was in fact (with the producer John Brabourne's approval) commissioned from Johnny Horton by 20th Century Fox who were worried about the subject's relative obscurity in the United States. For some reason the size comparisons of guns and shells are switched. While the song was used in U.S. theater trailers for the film, it was not used in the film itself.
All I can say is, Pore Ol' Johnny Horton!
Yep can't stop listening
H&J were correct, we-the U.S.- really didn’t sink the Bismarck. The Bismarck was actually sunk by the Brits. To quote the great philosopher Casey Stengel, “You could look it up.”
Main reason I don't upload the Johnny Horton version

Nvm I am too lazy for it
The Bismarck was scuttled by her own crew, after the Royal Navy immobilised her.
Still German L
@@PolavianusWhen you see what it took to take the Bismarck down you'll know it wasn't an L at all 😂
This is a crack up!Thanks!
man they should make a song about the "Battle" of May Island
Taters were the main cause
The original said the Brits sank the Bismarck
Nope. Claims it was sunk “for Uncle Sam”.
Both of you are wrong lmao
@@Polavianus The original does mention "British guns."
@@Thirdbase9 That is correct
Though it never directly said "the Brits sank the Bismarck"
This is great lmao
Nice ;D
I’ve also made a parody of this song, although mine is for the sinking of the Moskva.
is it Homer and Jethro quality?
is it posted?
Where is it?
@@Shillabritish I wrote the lyrics in a post on r/NonCredibleDefence.
Link?
Sick-PAY alcohol
Promo`SM 😀
The british didnt sink the Bismarck. Captured enginnering crew stated they set demo charges on the seawater intakes, after the bridge ordered her to be scuttled. THe Bob Ballard tour of the wreck showed no damage to the inner hull that would have caused her to sink.
It doesn’t make any practical difference either way. Even if it was scuttled, the British rendered the ship combat ineffective and damaged beyond repair. It was going to be lost no matter what

And the Brits left the survivors to drown.
@@barryh3547 due to the potential threat of U-Boats, not out of malice

There were none and they knew it. This came out mush later.
